One more push with the "where we go we don't need steering wheels" car.

Down from 1:35:811 to 1:35:443.

Only a million credits Thursday,stupid car+stupid track=stupid result,on to the next TT,lol,much better,nice car+nice track=nice result.

 

[Evilmuffin]

Made it into the 1:33s but barely. I had a really really good lap but ended spining after I exited the final corner. I think I got kick out of the curbs slightly wrong. That would've been a 1:33.7s 🤧

The results for TT73 are over here.

I've also updated the opening post with the index of TTs and the second post with the community leader boards.

I use a controller, not a wheel.

Much more enjoyable TT, this one! The Jag is a pleasure to drive. It handles better than I was expecting for a car that old. I definitely made some mistakes on my lap, otherwise a sub 34 would be in the books easily.

The usual sandwich. It's pretty much a given on day 1 nowadays.

One last thing. These stinkin' rewards over the past few days. I opened two 4 star tickets tonight - one was 10,000cr, which I suppose is at least better than the horrendous 5,000cr I got the other day. The other 4 star? A carbon propellor shaft for the Crown Athlete G Safety car. Just, why?? I hate parts!

 

[ScottPuss20]

Oh boy, a Jaguar! Now that's what I'm talking about! I don't want to be negative about it in any way but you really need to wrestle this big cat around the track. Interlagos has some tight, tricky sections that require a decent amount of traction to attack smoothly, and this car doesn't always provide it. The lack of downforce is painfully obvious and the balance isn't exactly where I want it but that's all part of the fun. Why wouldn't I have fun in a JAAAAAG???? It's my whole shtick after all.

 

[SPL170db]

Agree....they need a feature add that lets you sell these useless parts....c'mon PD, you can sell cars now, let us sell off this useless parts as well.

 

[ZevZoq]

Put up a reasonable silver time this evening at Interlagos, but that damn first left-hander drives me nuts! It's like I'm mr short term memory here - every second lap I forget that corner exists and drive right off the track! Doesn't help that the Jag has no brakes either lol...

 

[TheNormsk]

Holy smokes! After the first few laps being terrible and finally setting a time of 1:40 🤪 I steadily figured this car out and chasing a few friends laps (I love that it’s not only the top 10 anymore) I pulled this out the bag!

Thanks @Pigems as I was chasing your ghost and beat your lap time 😁.

Now the goal is to break into the top 1000.

 

[skydragon49]

Midnight time trial session? Yeah, midnight time trial session. And Ms. Jacquie doesn't turn and I have entered the gold zone.

New PB 1:35:206 😃
Possible optimal 1:34:804 🤔

Now the goal is to break into the top 1000.

Achieved!

I switched to my Abroad account and that best my main account. So then, of course, I had to switch back to the main account and try again…

Just outside 2% and in the top 750.

Next, to get to sub 2%.

 

[nickf1gr]

Why buy when you can rent?

For something more permanent...

 

[Gogga]

Jag is a lovely drive. Almost road car like.
Set this time early on in my stint, then drove for another 2 hours and could not even come close.
What gives?

 

[seadog777]

For something more permanent...

And you can put your own livery on it, like @Fezzik has done with the jag!

[KAlex122]

1:35,066 with the Jag. Improving further is a little harder than i imagined yesterday but 1:34,xxx and a save gold should be doable.

Calster on top spot. Who and why stated that this would be a good one on controller?

 

[Gomario JSP]

6-o'clock beep beep beep.....

It's hammertime

Hop in the Jaaaaaggg and shredding tires on one of my favo tracks, i love the flow and it's one of those track where if you are fast
have no time to look at splits

I binned some real good laps this morning but pushed out a descent one in the end!

 

[newmedia_dev]

Because of the over night improvement I dropped out of gold so did 3 laps this morning to get back in to gold....

 

[MUC76]

Decided to go with the Shaguar livery as

Welcome to our Workshop "Integrating flags" in car design
As a rule of thumb: Less is more!

Today's Example: Union Jack

Do it like that!

Don't, don't, please please don't do it like that!

Regards to our British colleagues 😘

Is this a Playstation branded monitor?

 

[Fury]

This Interlagos TT is cool and pretty easy to get gold ar least for now.

 

[Fezzik]

As a rule of thumb: Less is more!

No room for taste in these TTs. The gaudier the livery, the faster you go.
Be thankful I haven't painted the thing orange - yet.

 

[zaxs]

Yesterday I just tried, but today was a first serous attempt at Interlagos.
I was going without assists, although TC may help, and did silver, near to gold lap...

At the time I did it, Calster was on top, but Jeddah responded immediately and overtook him...

 

[GlockPants]

Someone about to come in here with a Gold XJ13 ...

 

[crome]

As a rule of thumb: Less is more!

100% agree. People go overboard with outrageous liveries when it's best to just honor the iconic design. Which is why I stuck to the original green and made minor adjustments that are almost invisible to the naked eye. That's how it's done folks!

Edit: wrong video :d

 

[Chris30]

Well Thursday evening is nokiasetup evening 😁🤣🤣, and what a joy this jaaaaag is
Handles like a charm, very predictable and very easy to catch if you overstep her boundries...

Key on this TT is trailbraking and brake RELEASE early for rotation.

Getting into the 33 shouldnt be that hard 😁

Cat did did aprove behind me in its......yeah..don't know what state I must call this, but he watches a lot of my laps from behind me in this position 🤣🤣🤣🤣

View attachment 1347887

But enough for today, laptop closed, tomorrow morning I'll do the first big screen session, but this was a promising start ( then I'll prob don't hit a thing tomorrow ) 🤣🤣

Good luck on this new one fellow addicts

Happy lapping

Is that your cat?

Cute one, we only had 2 dogs and a cat in our entire lives. My dog's name was Buddy, he was a german shepherd. However he died in 2009. We were devestated about it. That was the only dog I ever owned.

I will return tomorrow morning, for the X-bow TT.
