Weekly Rivals Mode Thread FINAL WEEK

[ImaRobot]

I use the A button for the clutch. I think I'm generally just heavy handed to be honest, which is a little weird for someone who's been playing guitar for the last 20 odd years.

It would make sense if you had played Bass

I too get the non-centering issues about 2 years in. Because of that I've also gone through 2 pads.

I've bought my own controller that the kids are not allowed to use, and they can use the two old and well used ones.

FYI the Forza Edition Corvette Z06 is homologated 300lbs lighter than the regular Z06 can be homologated to, with the same power and tire sizes.

Managed a 2:08.0xx in the GTR 2017. I've uploaded the tune of anyone wants to give it a shot. Drives great but the throttle can be a bit twitchy, so mind the modulation. If I lowered the accel on the diff anymore than what is at it would have been slower.

I've had a lot on today (funeral) so haven't had a chance, but I am free tomorrow and would LOVE to try your GT-R tune (can you guess why? ).
Shall report back once I do kind sir.

A quick hit with the i8 for something different and a 2.11.000. An ok start for myself as this isnt my best track and seem to leave heaps of time on the last corner.

 

[-Fred-]

40 odd laps in the Z06, best lap of 2:08.5
20 odd laps in the 911 GT3 4.0 RS, best lap of 2:08.1
1st flying lap in the Viper ACR... 2:07.5

 

[Im_Lukas]

Just hit a 2:06.222 with the SLS AMG, I know there's a 2:05 in it as I was consistently gaining 0.3s in sector 3 against this lap but will have to save the push for that for another day. The hairpin is an odd corner, it feels quicker to get 2 tyres on the inside curb and there doesn't seem to be any issue with getting the power down but I'm finding it's consistently 2 tenths slower than keeping all 4 tyres on the black stuff .

 

[BoneSawTX]

My only shot at this I’m gonna get is a 2:07:468 in the 911 GT3 RS4 ‘12. Had a 2:06 till I hit a curb on my last lap and went wide.

Difficult track for me, almost never driven it before this challenge. Like @Im_Lukas said it is difficult to get a feeling for why this lap was faster or that one was slower. Any chance of uploading a replay of your Lap, @Im_Lukas ?

I'm playing this through PC and tried to record my lap using Nvidia Shadowplay but it seems that Xbox games won't allow it, I will try to figure out how to record a lap tonight. I wish T10 just kept these leaderboards easily accessible like FM6 where you could watch other player's replays and race their ghosts.

If I can't find a way to record it I'll try saving the race replay in-game and uploading that to the storefront unless they've taken that away too.

 

[nExx]

Another PC user ! I had a similar problem. Try selecting the option „record desktop as well“. That helped me.

 

[RikkiGT-R]

Can't wait until tonight, finally free and I'll be hitting the track with that @ImaRobot tuned GT-R.
Also gonna try some Vipers while I'm at it.

Prepare to be stunned guys. Stunningly mediocre

It'll be slightly more balanced towards understeer, but not by much. Car was a bit of a handful when I converted it to RWD

Remember, if you buy the 2013 Viper, it is listed under the manufacturer „SRT“, not under „Dodge“. I wasted a good 15Minutes searching for the car

I tend to just sort the garage by division, makes it easier to be honest.

@ImaRobot - tried the GT-R and could barely keep it on the road never mind finish a lap

Ended up posting a 2:11.8 with a Viper '13 tuned by @RPM Bibblefish, another good tune as well. Still a lot more time to be found.

Is it really too much? It seems to suit my driving style pretty well lol. What was the issue you were finding with it?

Just accelerating out of corners - car kept squirreling around, couldn't find a balance and kept spinning out on corner exit.

Don’t take the tune down, I want to try it out lol

Ah yeah, that was the throttle issue I was mentioning on the initial post. Also, I use a pad so I tune with that in mind, so you using a wheel might have it feeling different than what I feel. If you can manage to nail the throttle modulation, it would work out good. I honestly feel like theres even more room to improve my time as well lol.

I wont, I'm content with it to be honest, it'll be staying up, plus its to difficult to remove them anyways

Thanks, you have just solved the problem , I opened GeForce Experience for the first time in months and immediately had an update, one of the notes being "Record videos and take screenshots of Microsoft Windows Games" .



This is a recording of a 2:06.053, on this lap I took the inside curb at the hairpin and it worked out but I was a bit sloppy through the penultimate set of corners (1:27 - 1:37) where you can really use all of the inside curbs (and more if you choose to). Also damn them AI! They managed to keep the track clean until I'm on a good lap and then they decide to scatter tyres across the track.

If memory serves, that viper tune of mine is set up for the old le mans track. Has no aero with pretty high tyre pressure, not best suited for Sebring

I've no doubt it's a good tune, I just couldn't get the hang of it. Still have it installed on the car tho and will go back to it for another crack.

It's the SRT one?
I really enjoyed it, feels planted. But then I can't handle @ImaRobot 's GT-R tune that IS set up specifically for Sebring so that says it all

No worries. If its any consolation, the throttle took some getting use to for me as well. Every car I've driven since then has been significantly smoother, but also significantly slower as well. It comes with the territory I guess lol.

 

[RikkiGT-R]

@Im_Lukas you make that look so smoooooth ugh...
I think I got a 2:14-ish with that exact car/tune. But I swear the corners are a lot tighter for me

 

[-Fred-]

You people need to slow down a bit, jeeze.

Thank you! Judging by your lap I need to get out of agressive mode when hotlapping. Nearly impossible . I did a very high 02:06 yesterday, and felt like hitting my talent wall on Sebring. There would be more time without TCS, but I just cant manage without.

@UnshavenYapper professes that:

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

I have since discovered that for me:

Slow is smooth, smooth is slow

 

[ImaRobot]

I never tend to use aero on this game for most my cars, but after seeing @Im_Lukas lap of the SLS with it, I'm going to see how my GTR reacts to it. With it being a bit squirrely, I wonder if it'll make it faster.
