I really like Eiger as a track, but IMO it doesn't suit the understeer-ish nature of GT stock setups, which is a shame.
If you turned in to some of these corners and the front gripped and rear slid it would be epic to drive.

That is why I thought we might have had the 205 with that lift off oversteer and low power light weight. But alas

Didn't managed to get gold at Sardegna, but finished in top 20 000, which is something 
I hope so that @Metalgear9493 finished first, I was cheering for him.
New combo, what to say, it could be more pleasant with tires better then CS.

Yeah likewise Ed, the combo just suddenly seemed to click today. Well the first 2 sectors anyway. I worked out the exact line and gearing needed.
I can beat P1's lap but need to be fresher, lately in Melbourne it's been 30+ degrees practically every day for the last 2 weeks, takes its toll 🥵.

Wow, seeing how many Aliens are colonizing longitudes between 1:15.00 and 1:15.5 I bet it is going to be Burji Khalifa on @half_sourly 's Scorebard distribution graph there.
Haven't made my attempts yet, but looking at your times anything golden projects as my success zone.

Well nice... max. temperature today was +2 degree here. 😂😂😂
For me the downhill part is the problem because i suck at driving hairpins. 🥲😂

Doctors and wife have had me shut down for a little bit. She went out for a while, so being the obedient husband, I figured it would be a good chance to get some rig time. I passed on the bane of my existence, Suzuka, and figured I would try Eiger Nordwand.
Amazing what a little rest and less pain can do. Scheduled for another pain injection next week. So this is it for a while.
I went online to share, and it doesn't look nearly as nice after @Metalgear9493, @bliprunner, and @Ed_Night times.

At this rate the top 1000 is going to be 90% GTP

A rare day off today for our wedding anniversary so had some time this morning while my wife had a lie in! Did some online racing at Bathurst - best of 3rd and worst of last… absolute carnage at times!
Decided to go to Eiger to relax into the new TT. Quite nice balance to the car, but yeah, hairpins 😬 - this lap turned out OK to start, might be another couple of tenths in it which I’ll try and hunt down tomorrow if I get the chance

What's everyone's Eiger settings? I was default abs and nothing else. Wondering what y'all have tried 🤔

Weak ABS. Doing the @Metalgear9493 thing of forcing more turn by setting SET on the DD Pro to 820. Played around with various numbers but that seems to be the sweet spot for me.

Every session a little more... Exact speed seems to be the way. Shifting late but before you have to spool the turbo for a good exit seems to help but IDK. It's a crapshoot. I can consistently run .3xx laps but it's hard to get it right every single time.

I'm a few 1/10ths slower than you guys but I use default ABS it's all fine and I use default DD Pro rotation but that's more natural for VR but bumper/bonnet cam is imagine the tight turning radius would be faster.
The one issue i have is unwinding the lock to match Hollo's cleaner acceleration, it makes such a difference to the time getting a cleaner drive out of the final hairpin.

Hello there (everybody is crazy fast at Eiger...)
For a moment I thought I shouldn't share my miserable golden time I got in my first go at Eiger, because everybody is posting alien times there.
Anyways....

That's not a bad time! Nice!
I got stuck at .105, where the fast section after the pit was on fire yesterday I totally forgot how to handle it this evening, very frustrating cause I ran multiple high 5 splits after the dipper what should get me lower than that 🤪
This was a rental btw 🤣🤣

After I posted my first result at Eiger, I ordered a pizza and decided to have another go while waiting for it. Glad to get in the 15's.

Had a bit of breakthrough with the Lancer Evo. Watching some of the top replays, it struck me how nuanced and rapid the throttle control was in the S-curves, really getting the most acceleration possible while staying tight. Also observed how the car can “whip” to the left after the tight right hander leading towards the last sector, and how aggressively the car can be thrown into the final hairpin to get the correct rotation for a strong finish. After realizing this, the gold time came quickly. Feels good, like I’m purging out some of the hesitancy in my driving. I feel I can push further… will try to improve on this tomorrow.

You know how I know this TT has to be a Gold Gimme from PD?
I got into Gold too soon in just my second run, and I saw almost 4k also already have. 😅
I've also never rank sub-2% since I started not too long ago, let alone rank within the first 1k.
Get your Gold while it's here, folks! 😁
