What does everyone think of the track?

[yannc]

Tires temperature matter? I didn't know that. I don't see a grip difference between 1st lap and 2nd lap.

 

[eight6er]

The tyres don't need to heat up, they have the same grip on the first lap as any other. Otherwise how can I come close to my best time on the first lap, even keeping up with or beating my ghost on the first few corners?

 

[Tidgney]

There is a difference in grip, but only slight you can see it on the first lap on the corners where the grip is needed the most mainly the long left and long right hander.

 

[GTP_Daniel84]

Yes in first round (specific the first 4 corners) the tires have less grip

 

[PR1VATEJ0KER]

I love the track, but I hate the starting point. Every other track when you do time trials, gives you a run up to the last corner so you have proper speed down the start finish straight. On this track I usually turn the car around and go back, instead of wasting time doing a lap that will not have the best chance of being fast.
I enjoy the track besides that.

Yea I didnt like the fact that you dont get a proper run to the last corner, but now when i play I do like 40 laps in a row, in the last gt academy I would do 4 or 5 laps, mess up and restart and in the end I didnt know the last few turns of the track very well.

You start the second lap about 10mph faster that is about 1/2sec on the first straight

I always spin the car around and drive back to a bit before the last bends so I can get a proper run on the first lap. I just feel that you never know when you could hit a great lap and you don't want to be 2 tenths down starting if it happens.

Good call. Consider yourself copied.

My fastest lap so far was done in the outlap (2:20.2##) so hoping to get into 19s very soon as there is obvious time at the start. Do like the track but its quite easy to drift off line a little and lose enough time to totally screw your lap. Its a challenge im emjoying.

I do something similar too but fcuk me its annoying when your trying to reverse flat out and go off line only to invalidate the next lap!

 

[ckracer76]

Love hate relationship with this track. Posting a 2:32 with Dualshock3 pad and AT transmission. I find I always approach the corner too fast with a run up or on my second lap

 

[TECHNIKRS4]

I like the fact its a long lap too.
Hard to master but once you have the corners flow very nicely.

 

[yoghurt_dog]

I love this track! So technical and satisfying when you get it right but very very tricky. I olove the elevation changes on it and the way that contributes to the flow of a lot of the corners. I hope it becomes a permanent fixture in the game!

 

[red_five_racer]

I love the track! Its a great challenge to get the perfect lap

However, this damn event has put me off buying a bloody 370Z for life! AARRRGGHH the unpredictable oversteer!

 

[MichaelJP]

red_five_racer, it shouldn't put you off - I've had quite a few laps in the real 370z round Silverstone and it's ultra-predictable, completely unlike this version!
