1.24 Club with the Megane, very easy and enjoyable TT 👌🏻

And another 4 millions in the bank

I am speaking about this one (stability management).

Yeah, ASM (active stability management in English). I doubt that’ll be of benefit here though, I think it only works somewhat OK if the car has an absolute abundance of power (the McLaren VGT at Suzuka was a TT where I used that), which a Gr.4 car really doesn’t — the opposite if something. That said, I’ll try anything here. Miles off pace.

Ok, I checked, I have CSA set to weak, and ABS default.

I was talking about the Megane at Goodwood.
I think some people may struggle with oversteer in 3 or 4 turns.
Indeed, I also think that it is useless with the Huracan Gr.4

I discovered a while back that setting ABS to 'weak' instead of 'default' helped turn in on Gr. 3. cars. Ever since then I've been using that as my standard setting, and haven't had any issues. This might be just a matter of driving style.

I've never really experimented with CSA. Seeing that many of you use it sometimes, I may have to try and see if it makes any difference and can lead to faster times in some cars.

ASM I've always thought was a fairly artificial setting and would tend to slow you down, so I've never used it, primarily because it makes the experience feel unnatural.

ASM may work very rarely (gave an example above), threw it on for a couple of laps here and it’s absolute trash, as expected. Can’t manage anything worth mentioning. I don’t see any benefit of CSA either. Again, the car is waaaay too slow and has so much grip, it’s like driving on rails. God, the more I drive this TT, the angrier I get.

Hello there,

Back for some balance replenishment after the Merc sale at LCD.
Nothing fancy time-wise or position-wise, just an hour's worth effort.

Everyone's so fast here, or maybe I'm just slow ("am so slow" )
I don't think I have the patience to press it some more, so it'll probably stay at this, but the livery is nice...

Hey guys, it’s been a while since I have last posted, hope you all are well! Did get Gold in the past few TTs though couldn’t spend as much time as I would have liked to push myself further up the leaderboard - you guys are getting much quicker these days!!

I am actually massively struggling with this Megane time trial - FF cars are never my thing and I would prefer watching a race on Goodwood rather than driving around. My current best is 1:25.2 which is quite a bit off the 1:24’s many of you managed, almost as if I aren’t aggressive enough and under drive the car quite a bit.

Would be great if I can have some pointers from you all.

I was really THIS close from having my lap invalidated…

You’ll soon realize that using a wheel doesn’t make you faster, as controllers offer a lot of built-in assistance. That’s been my experience when switching from a controller to a wheel.

I know some people definitely are, I'm not one of them though. 🤷‍♂️ Even though I still like to play with DualSense for fun since GT1 on OG PS, I'm almost always faster with wheel especially since I use VR with wheel and flat screen with controller. On the rare occasion I won't be able to beat my pad lap with wheel though. But it boggles my mind how someone can be so fast with a controller but I have seen the laps.. they can be alien fast. But i also quit using manual shift on pad when I switched to analog throttle and brake a long time ago, so that slows me way down with controller sometimes. I always use manual shift w/ wheel. My hands cramp up pretty fast trying to manually shift on pad.
