Starts

As I'm sure your aware for some reason the TG track is a rolling start, but it gives plenty of time to get up to the line. Our starting position will be here.



This will be your view from bumper cam



Simply come to a complete stop lining the black mark on the track up with the bottom of your screen.

There is no limit to the amount of times you post, i'll just take your fastest time.
I'll keep editing this post with lap times whenever they appear.
Lastly please post your control method each time you post, and for g25/7 users please state the shifting method.

Cool idea. I'll be sure to give this a run tonight, after I buy the Swift.

update:

1:38.021 is my first submission.
dfgt sequential shift

I love the idea.
But alas, there is no standing start from... "start"

This sounds like fun, I'm off to buy a swift now and put in some laps.

I've bought one :-D Can we give it an oil change?

Arcade mode TT or GT life practise mode TT?
How can it be proven which view was used? (Unenforcable regulation)

sorry for the questions ;-)

1/2 Only if its getting dirty.

2/2 Doesn't matter.

First lap: 1.41.153

DS3 controller.

I reckon this car is too fast. It reaches 70mph on the opening straight!.

Minor update regarding grip redux counting times after this post sorry Fatkev

So I could run it for a while, change its oil and gain increased hp?
I think they should be the only thing allowed.

p.s. added another question as you replied ;-)

Awesome idea!
this is already quite fun

controller: 1:38.803

Drop the cockpit view from the regulations?

Cockpit stays, please do oil changes before runs, use gt life mode.

After a little practice (never drove manual before), I got 1:39.776 using my logitech MOMO wheel (paddle shifters).

Gonna try for a better time

EDIT: Got it down to 1:39.104. I'm sure there's more room for play there, as I haven't quite found the right line for the last two corners (Gambon)

1.39.741

DS3 controller.

I'm sure I can go faster.

Mods please make this a sticky thread will do this tomorrow and are you allowed unlimited oil changes?

Managed 1.38.917 so far, All driving aids turned off(except ABS set to 1 since the car IRL has ABS)

I use a G25

Recon I can shave 3-4 seconds with some practice.

Got a 1:38:230 with a DFGT

Honestly just make it a rolling start, it makes the competition a lot simpler.

It's no fun having to stop/restart/line up every time you attempt a lap.

Do 1 initially and then as the car gets crappy condition oil change it, but that's it.

Standing stays.

How do I get to the top gear track outside of Special Events? I don't see it in practice or arcade?

Uh... did I miss something?

You have to bronze the Elise special event.

@SlipZtrEm, they are two different things (albeit with the same name), this is about a specific car going round for everybody. The other one is about getting noticeable members to give an interview and a lap.

OK, here's my official fastest time (not that it makes a lick of difference for the moment)

1:38.581

[edit: control was the same, MOMO wheel with paddle shifters]

Did you miss that this thread was started before that one?

Awesome to see someone has done this... I tried a while back, but it told me I had to make 100 posts first.

Does anyone know if there's a way to save ghost laps to upload for other people to use?

i twould be quite interesting to see 16 ghosts at once, to see the different lines people take.

You need to get Gold on the Kombi Van event to access it outside the event.

Because that is the first week of Joey's SIARPC interviews? Because his original thread started literally years ago? Is that what you're trying to get at? Or is this still tied to a problem you apparently have with the staff here?

If this is indeed something different, I fully recommend a name change, then.

01:38.279 (G25 wheel with manual six speed shifter)

Well..thats what this is..a name change just makes it something entirely unrelated to what the thread is about, and yes it is different as stated this is something for everyone to join in and have fun with, why do all technicalities need to come into it, we are just trying to have fun. 👎

I can only go by the facts you presented to me. You presented to me two threads, of which this one was made first.

You should have posted a link to the much older, original thread if you were trying to make a point.

I'm not saying yours isn't valid, rather that I can only go by what you present me with.

Last one for me tonight:

1.39.237



Interestingly, I can get over a second faster using AT.
