Grey and soggy, just like home…

10 laps fuji following @Tidgney ghost (thanks btw for your guide), gold for now. Could have been just 3 laps, but i realy wanted to hit the bollard in the last left-hand corner 😂 50.4 for now with a lot go optimize. But won't probably come back, if it holds.

Spoiler: Laptimes Fuji

So back to alsace, this TT is such a pleasure.

Thursday Nokia-time it is! .....and scooby isn't to Shaabbbyy on the Remote too, no unpredictable griploss and no tankslappers so we good to go 🤣
This thing has to much in this situation...
If this is for real ill buy one 🤣

Scoobs it is....

Wets and ABS default
Not an awful start 😁

 

[Pilot625]

Gold for now ...amazing how much grip that Subaru has in the wet still hate Fuji tho 😂

I’m with you. I can’t figure out the lines for the swooping long half circle turns. Annoying. My least favorite track in the game. Other than the dirt and snow.

 

[SPL170db]

I like when they throw in a curve ball like this. It's a fun one for sure.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Struggled to Bronze Alsace in the 911 GT1 (1:58.318, for now). I like Alsace. I like the 911 GT1. I expected to do better.

Things did not bode well for me at Fuji. I'm rubbish at Fuji. I'm rubbish in the wet. I was not expecting good results. But I got one!

 

[crome]

So I knew from the RBR Gr.3 event in the wet back in August (where I got my first alien badge) that I can be fast in these conditions, so I had hoped this would carry over to the new event. Btw back then this came as a big surprise because my previous association with wet tracks was the infamous S10 license test that had almost destroyed me 🤣

But yeah, things are looking good so far

There isn‘t much more time for me to find here I think, perhaps a tenth. But now I have to shift my focus back to Alsace where I am at risk of dropping out of top 100. Crazy days, I‘m telling ya …

Spoiler: The lap (ABS default, CSA strong, TCS 2

 

[NevilleNobody]

There are too many of us thinking Fuji is too easy, I suspect that gold time is going to seriously tumble.

 

[330_D]

This is fun.

 

[2cam16]

Nice to have something out of the norm dry weather for a change. Pretty fun.

This car has a ton of grip. It really does not feel like the track is wet. 1:48's are possible, though I'm not sure how some of you are already in the low-mid 48's already. Crazy 👽's!

 

[equalitus]

Loaded the ghost of Tidgney & got only 1.337% from gold on the rainy Fuji. Since it was only a few hours since the TT launched it's safe to say it's the closest I ever will be gold in online TT.
Tried the same [Tidgney ghost] with the Porsche 911 GT1 Strassenversion '97 on Alsace but after 10 attempts still 0.06% from silver.

ABS Weak

It might not be easy doing it in the rain, but it shouldn't be as bad as that RedBull Junior challenge we had that also occurred in the rain. That was a haul, got a bronze in that one. I had a time in that one, won't ever forget it.

 

[NicoGmbh]

@Dolph Drago

Probably, there must be a nice photo to do at timecode 0.43.

It would become easier/simpler for at least 50% of users if the bollards weren't present at the apex of most turns.

ABS Weak

Well done @eggmann

What TCS setting did you use, 0 or 1? I noticed back then I could get better lap times with it being set at 0. It helped my corner exits and getting through hard turns at a quicker and smoother rate.

@Uday9479 speaking of bollards, they are always a pain in the butt!!

 

[nickf1gr]

Thanks to @Tidgney advice for using proper rain tires i am with first try in silver teritory..
Weekend is here and i will try more!!!

Ok Crome...... i have something to say...

lets talk about Forum Etiquettes ...
Things like this you just can't do on a first session, it makes everybody think they are realy bad...

There was a time i could follow you but those days are gone now 🤣

Epic progression buddy and on fire these days!!


That said....

For 30 minutes i could't hit a thing, was all over the place.....but noticed i had Inters fitted 🤣🤣
Last few laps felt a bit better but nowhere near you 🤣

🤣 Oh come on, we've all seen that play before: you say something like "there's no way for me to improve here", and then the next morning you pull another half second out of the bag. I know have to stay vigilant 🤣

Epic progression buddy and on fire these days!!

Thanks mate. I'm fully prepared to wake up one day in the near future and be back to my mortal earthly self. Gotta strike while the iron's hot

 

[DDK-Racing]

First 10lap stint at Fuji. On full wet thx to Tigney 😅
Put a 1.50.6 on the board. Optimal is 1.49.8 so I've got room to improve a lot!
Best lap of 1.50.4 was invalid because of hitting the green bollard in the long left 2nd to last corner the lap before 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Right hander at the beginning of S3 is hard to nail consistent. Lot of time to lose or gain there...
2nd to last and last corner can cost you to.

Racing line on and running just next to it was a great help...

ABS weak, TC0, CSA off.

Imagine having your best time, without a single best sector time 🥲

 

[Jeje6410]

Hello Earth friends and alien enemies 🤣🤣 I hope you all had a nice week.
Pleasant surprise discovering this new TT on a wet track in Fuji.
First test this morning at Fuji with TC at 0 , and ABS at weak :
Get gold at 1'50'553

 

[zaxs]

First picked million, also my anniversary 50th silver medal!

Then tried new TT and after 115km I got safe silver, with huge mistake at final corner.
Here is direct capture:

 

[Talon16]

The wet track actually makes an otherwise boring Gr4 car palatable and kinda fun to drive.

I wish PD's daily race people would take a page from PD's TT people. This would make for a fun daily... although I'd still prefer Gr3 or heaven forbid Gr2 in the rain!

 

[A_Higher_Place]

@crome Mate,you gotta slow down. You're ascending too quickly. How can your body handle all of those GGs??

Managed to squeeze in another half hour and found those three tenths

Super livery! Most of my liveries are Supercar ones, no one seems to notice on NA servers.

you guys are killing me here 🤣 🤣 🤣

 

[Uday9479]

Thanks to everyone's messiah @Tidgney I was able to get a new best time of 1:50:485 to again come back firmly in the Gold category. Thanks to him that I also set my ABS to weak & nullified my TC to 0 which I was very apprehensive about. I kept following Tidney's Pad ghost time of 1:48.8xx & it was real beneficial in the last twisty sector.

Have been away couple of days from the forum and the game just to discover that:
1) my gold with the electric water boiler has blossomed by 0.03%
2) Mister Mistah is here, will take an additional page down to find my name in the leaderboard
3) we have a wet TT

thoughts in freedom on the new TT, after 12 laps, without videoguide and following Tidge ghost: does it really feel wet? I barely notice it. It's maybe I'm too slow to properly challenge the friction between the tire and the road?!?
Haven't tryed wet, just interns by now. Default ABS suits me better than weak.
Does gain or loose time passes obligatorily by staying the in right rails to optimize brakeing and accelleration, or it's just as it's dry surface?

3 : Yes, looks wet, feels little wet on Inters...., fairly planted with Wets!, def. the way to go!

Welcome back btw 😁🤣
