1 last run on Alsace to be sure for gold you never know a Flying Dutchman comes in on the last moment ...still have Monza nightmares 🤣

was going for .54 but always 1 corner where i loose ...so stuck on 1.55.007

My 1st real session at Fuji tonight and I must admit I was struggling to get any real improvement until I realised how much grip is still there with the Scoob even though it's wet, once I started carrying more speed and accelerating out of corners a lot sooner the time began to come off. It's also quite enjoyable, not at the levels of Alsace but I'm pleased to have TTs of the moreish nature again instead of ones like the F1 twitch King at Monza and the Fat Battery around the Nurb.

I'd like to see the F1 car at a less chicane riddled track as the hardest thing about it is getting on the gas. Spa would be ideal.

When I was waiting for the bus to go to college, a 205 GTI Griffe passed me every morning 🤩

I'll never be able to get this skit out of my head for the rest of my days whenever I hear someone mention Peugeot.

Once again the broken Red Bull FFB (at least on tgt2) makes the nurburgring TT awful. Red bull, super formula and formula 1 are totally unusable since 1.49 update

I get how F1 is unusable, but Super Formula? they've been pretty good throughout, you can put 99.999999% of your trust when you step all the way on the gas and it handles great, great downforce, great cornering, great acceleration, OKAY top speed, great weight.

 

[ZevZoq]

Saw my 2.85% had dropped to 2.91% today so I decided to try and give myself a little bit more breathing room if possible. So, mission barely accomplished lol...moved up more than 1000 on the world rankings though!

 

[ScottPuss20]

This last-ditch effort was enough to beat @Jeje6410 and @Aiko_Mac by a whisker despite fluffing up the last corner. I was pleasantly surprised when the time showed up because it did not feel like a good lap.

A small improvement here but I'm still confused about what lines to take. I don't know where to put my car and I can't find any sort of consistency because every patch of tarmac feels different.

 

[Dolph Drago]

I managed to get under 1:54 on the final day! But I lost over a tenth in sector 2. And I'm still nearly off the page on my friends leaderboard.

Only had time for about 100km in the Strassenversion. I really hate the Alsace layout, the kerbs, the weird camber everywhere. There aren't many tracks that I dislike this much.

Optimum was a 53.7XX, but even that is probably not representative of the actual optimum. Trying to put everything together into 1 lap around this place is nightmare fuel. Shame they used such a track for a car that was quite enjoyable to drive.

Not even sure I will attempt a wet Fuji, I have no idea what I'm doing in the rain and don't want to add a 3rd silver to my medal tally.

 

[Gogga]

@NicoGmbh TCS off and I got into the 54's. Could have dropped time further but I only had a very very short while to play unfortunately and it was already past my bedtime.

This was a nice combo.

Happy TT Thursday!

Had a quick spin in the Z4. My brain is still telling me to drive like an escort lout around Sardegna, but with this one you've got to be smooooth 😎

 

[Eliminatorek]

Now I see Alsace will be a hard time though Porsche GT1 is great drive.
I am stack with last 400ms to gold it and honestly have no more skill margin.
Seems this is going to be another Hill to me.

I am so glad I finally Sean Cornneryd these hills with gold. 1:54 seemed to be out of reach even though I had quite decent race line.

 

[Jeje6410]

First test in Sardegna :
Love love this Z4 😍😍...driving it with my hair flying in the wind (even if I don't have any 🤣🤣) what a pleasure...
Get gold in 1'39'389 with TC at 0, ABS at weak and no more

 

[Eliminatorek]

@NicoGmbh TCS off and I got into the 54's.

I had quite opposite. Normally driving @TC0 and using TC only in extreme combos like Formula at Monza, setting TC1 (after seeing NicoGmbH replay) saved me from spoiling exits from sharpest turns in Alsace leading to 1:54. I hoped it just improved my consistency and could repeat that with TC0 and even better - but couldn't get any further.

Just like @NicoGmbh mentioned, I also feel that TCS didn't make much of a difference on this one. With it on, it would briefly activate at certain exists but that was it. It didn't hinder my lap times and I am certain my final lap time would have been very similar had I had it set to TC1.

With TCS off, I would just get some wheel spin but it would grip and then it was all planted again. No crazy 360's and flying into barriers.

 

[KK78]

The BMW is a nice ride, more time for me here but I am happy with Gold after 15 laps, although I don't see that Gold time lasting long

Nice!, I had a quick few laps before I left this morning, seems a nice one!

Nice start buddy!

 

[Jeje6410]

Thanks a lot my friend Jomar !!!
This TT is really very nice even if it's a little hard to keep this Z4 stable but frankly I like it 😍😍
And I enjoy this provisional ranking of being at the top because I know very well that you are going to perform very well again 🤣🤣

New improvement in Sardegna at 1'39'146

 

[NevilleNobody]

Why bog basic Z4 and not the M version with proper tyres? It's a race track not your local back road.

 

[Evilmuffin]

1:39.1 so far.

There are 2 corners I have yet to figure out, losing a lot of time on them. I think a 1:38.6 or 7 should be possible...I might give it another go.
