ATAQ - a time trial experiment

[Gorefast]

Yeah, i'm the fastest unswapped AWD! 🥳

Yesterday i had my first laps around RA. All my improvements happend in the 1st sector - do we really have to do a full lap? 😜

Congrats to that! 👑

With the adjusted rules the effect of an engine swap should be smaller. So, aim for the top! The RWD lap times were already quite close (knowing that mit everyone put much time into this group).

I've fully embraced Audi-steer for this upcoming ATAQ. I'd love to get the Aventador into the 1:19s, but the R8 is taking up my focus.

Audi R8 Coupe V10 Plus - 1:19.4
505hp / 2934lbs [376.5kw / 1330kg ] - 690pp

But the real surprise came from the older Porsche GT3:

Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991) - 1:19.3
515hp / 2976lbs [384kw / 1350kg] - 716pp

The 991 GT3 is truly unhinged and seems to have more overall grip than even the 992. Truly a top tier machine [that has killed me many times for pushing too hard].

High downforce, aggressive setups have been the fastest from my testing so far. Cars with aggressive, grippy front ends can set themselves up to fly through sector 1. AWD helped me balance the aggression, but I cannot tell you how many times I hit a curb incorrectly and was send sideways into the Shadow Realm.

The power / weight figures above are the sweet spot for my driving.

I am pretending that FR cars do not exist, despite a Corvette C6 and a Camaro ZL1 getting 1:19.9s on my leaderboard.

Keep at it! That might give me top 5 result in the FWD section... 🙄 (Do you read this @Wilsonson and @KAlex122 ?) 😅

currently happy with my time. 1m19s43*
currently not happy that I did a Sophy and went off track with all 4 wheels.

Take a deep breath and try again.

but I cannot tell you how many times I hit a curb incorrectly and was send sideways into the Shadow Realm.

I solved that with a slightly softer suspension setup overall, but tried to keep all sliders at the same balance.
It works somehow, but for what its worth I am spending my time better on trying to get closer to the optimal lap time instead of dialing in the setup.
