Just submitted my car and time, hope I was quick enough!

This is one of those strange situations where I go faster when I'm flicking the car sideways every corner.

Yup, mine too
A quick flick of the handbrake round the tight hairpins seemed to make a world of difference to me

[XDesperado67]

Doubt my time is going to be anywhere close to the leaders but I'm pretty happy with it considering how bad I am with a manual transmission and the comfort hard tires.

Going to give it a few more runs today and if not satisfied by a killer lap probably a few tomorrow morning then send my time in.

Going to be interesting to see how far off the pace I am, the cars good...ole Harvey Wallbanger here isn't!

[TopGearFTW]

Just a thought, when are we gonna find out the results of last month's competition? Has it been posted and I've missed it or...

[mjm_98]

Would a photo of the leaderboard of track be suffice

That's what I do

Just email Airrider with a picture and saying what your fastest time was.

no handbrake here, power oversteer is giving me plenty of rotation! Despite how good my V8 roasts the rubbers thought the curves,(even with max ballast) I find that braking smoothly and keeping just lightly holding the brake through the apex keeps this modern muscle from plowing, after which it's a delicate balance of throttle control. I find that just a little more power than the tires can handle is best for a fast exit, too little and it bogs, to much and its banging of the rev limiter and throwing a 180. Good times!

That sounds more fun than mine

Mines 4WD, so I mostly get four wheel drifts and understeer. So the hand break is required to snap it back into line. Or prevent me hitting the outside barriers

Odd I've got 4wd and while it will do a nice four wheel drift it turns in great and I have to watch for oversteer as it loves to light up the rear wheels if I jump on the throttle to early and hard...

Yeah it does do nice four wheel drifts. It is a lot of fun to drive, especially around Eiger.
Just have to touch the handbrake to kick the rear end out

If I hit the gas too early I get a four wheel drift whilst under steering haha. It all goes completely wrong

You got a tuneable suspension or did you just go all power?
I put the height adjustable on mine so I could hopefully get the most out of the tires so that may be why mines a bit more oversteering with little to no understeer.

I went for fixed suspension, the rest is sheer power
Hence why it doesn't handle as well
It's not too bad... Ill be curious to see how our two cars compare, I get the feeling they're pretty similar

[TopGearFTW]

I went with a good old-fashioned FR drivetrain, and it's not really suited for these twisty sections. I'll have to see if kicking the tail out improves my time at all, I've been trying to quell the oversteer thus far.

[mjm_98]

Submitted time today at around 4 when is dealing by the way

[XDesperado67]

Submitted my week 1 time.

[gt4viper]

Time Submitted! I managed to squeeze another 4/10ths out of it, not sure how...
dang was that freekin slippery!
Bring on round 2!

[TopGearFTW]

Just submitted my time. Funny how when you look at the timestamps for the leaderboard on Eiger now, I set my fastest time on the first run I did, and got progressively slower as the week went on :P

I have to say though, this contest has really improved my skills with this game, I'd have never normally used a relatively powerful rear drive car on such slippery tyres on such a twisty track. Also it got me using MT, which is like second nature to me now.

[XDesperado67]

So will week 1s results be posted tonight or later in the week?

Yes I'm eager to see what the competition is running.

[gt4viper]

yeah! I want see where I rank, but mostly I want to see what cars I'm trying to compete against!

[EDIT] I am also having a hard time keeping my mouth shut about my ride too!

[SabbeH03]

Is there a deadline for this? Or am I able to quickly bang out a time today. I took part in like the earliest season of this challenge and am feeling a comeback. Noticed the thread a couple of days ago, but like a klutz I saw the discussion about Route X and switched off as I dont have the DLC for that yet, didnt realise that was just talk of things to come!

Will bang out some times anyway, even If I cant submit it legitimately just to see how I compare

[mjm_98]

I we aloud to declare what are car is to competition
