Time Trial Discussion

Happy Saturday everyone, I'm getting ready to tackle more Road Atlanta with my F. Focus car. I hope I can make it in the 1'35.000 club today/tonight. I don't like the left turn near the blue/yellow line. I'll show a picture of which area I'm talking about. I hate it, I always veer to the right and touch the blue/yellow barrier which ruins my lap.

You can eat the whole world of curb there without invalidate your lap Chris, the thing you have to worry about is only the first part, it's all about the angle, beneath same lap just a few frames later, just don't abuse the first part and you can get away with a huge amount of off tarmac

Well well... It's only day 1 (or 2?) but we already have a war at our hands

After a full conference week abroad, around Balkans, back to city of Volvo. Lufthansa managed to lose all luggage and I am wondering now what to do.
I missed you ninjas but there was literally no time for this thread at all.
Managed first session on Daytona with Viper, ok time for now. Super touchy to get early on throttle when my Gyro is tilted more than it should.

Well I need to work on that angle of mine then, because I've gotten red laps 5 times in a row. I'm fixing to watch someone's Youtube guide that uses automatic gears. His name is SirDave1988.

First day back with the new zipper in place. It looks like one and done, as SWMBO* says I over-extended myself and her grace during the recovery period. So it is what it is. I'll take a few days off before trying Daytona.

Welcome back to the Time Trial club, you'll struggle at Road Atlanta; the Focus car is not cooperating with me today for some reason. Maybe I'm just tired, idk.

Morning all.

Managed a 0.3s improvement with wheel vs pad to dip into the 1:45s at Daytona.

Hope you all have a good weekend with lots of PBs!

This has been a week of ups and down when it came to Time Trials. Glad to see the return of modern Gr.3’s and this was actually the first time I drove those on Daytona since the huge physics update last year.

I couldn’t get the Ford GT to work but the Viper seems right up my alley. Too 100 for now but I am sure it won’t last

Then of course I can’t pass up the chance of trying out my McLaren in this TT as well, knowing full well that it will be way off pace. I do think 1:44 is possible in the McLaren as well but probably not worth the time…



Also went back to Road Atlanta after taking in you guys suggestion on Sector 1. Good news is I can now consistently manage 35.1-.2’s in Sector 1. Bad news is I could never get Sector 2 right since that initial lap, not once in 400 miles I did. Maybe more mile may help…
