Time Trial Discussion

Anyone who hadn't put in a decent lap yet in the Testarossa kinda got screwed lol. I think I'm nearly half a second slower now compared to pre-update. The car is quite a bit trickier to get around corners...

Yeah I tried it again for comparison and was 2 tenths slower
The car doesn't snap under breaking so it's just understeers massively now, so to compensate you have to brake earlier
Although on the other hand you can attack the kerbs a bit more

I also did a few laps in the Testarossa now after the update.... my lovely loose goosey is kind of gone now... they killed it 😭
It's way more understeery now so indeed you have to brake earlier, it steps out a bit less on exit but feels like they added some extra weight to it or something and getting it rotated is way more difficult than prior the update, kind of a real big difference on the physics on pad if you ask me.

I will adapt to it like every other time but that is going to cost some time 😡🤪

As for right now..... not realy a fan 🤣

F3500 on Monza took way more time to gold it than it usually takes to gold a TT, took me 4 sessions, needed to turn on Traction control...

I think that update is in right direction at least for me on Gyro/ motion control

This TT is taking the pee now

I ran 150 miles post update and fell short of beating my time by half a tenth, so the new physics engine didn't reallyalter the limit for this TT 🤟.

The benefits of this new engine is that you can really get on the power much easier during corner exits, but the downside is there's just a tad more turn-in understeer, particularly noticeable at the 2 tight corners (turn 2 and the penultimate corner).

I uploaded this lap in-game If you need some tips.

No it may not have altered the limit per se, but I think it made reaching the limit more difficult. It's exactly as you say - speed now is found by getting on the power on corner exit. I find a ton more understeer myself and the car just isn't as easy to get pointing where you want it to go...but of course the real fast guys will adapt and be just as fast likely. I bet that 150 miles you did for no gain would have resulted in a decent gain pre-update. I got within a couple tenths of my PB last night, but pre-update my optimals were half a second better than my PB.

BTW, I'm not complaining about the update. I'm ok with the changes. Just observing the effect...

Mission accomplished 💪
