CRAP Club PCARS 2 Time Trials - Thanks for taking part everyone, we will return one day!

[HammyMansell]

Nice going @gregc ........ And you beat me to it! I had a quick go, although I forgot to assign a handbrake!

2 times here, @nosoks on a swift 49.846, and me bringing up a sore rear (don't ask lol) on a 54.388!



As you can see, it's tough getting around those tighter corners without a handbrake, more improvements to come from all of us no doubt! Just goes to show my lack of experience on the loose stuff in the game!

Really good fun, and great watching the car on replay!

 

[gregc]

@HammyMansell yep, I need to assign the handbrake to a button too - though I seem to remember it being a bit of a double edged sword. It's probably sent me spinning as many times as it's helped in the past...

I know the feeling......

#Spinning

 

[General_Edead]

Have to say I find this just about impossible lol. 54.4 so far and many smashed cars.....

 

[nosoks]

handbrake doesn't seem to help me much but i may just be inept in its application. Still if one must play pCars this is good fun

 

[General_Edead]

Handbrake does help but still demolished the whole post code lol

 

[HammyMansell]

A big improvement today, just from being more confident with the car and aggressive too!!

50.009..........A tenth and a bit for the lead now!

Great fun, but i wrecked a good few dozen Hondas in the process!

 

[nosoks]

my time was done on the original "default" tune. Yesterday i had a peek in tuning and saw there is a default RX tune which i tried and was a second slower.............

Aggressive but controlled driving is the key with the RX cars I think. Hoping for an improvement tomorrow...

Interesting... My time was on the Rallycross default. Must try the 'default' default

 

[nosoks]

haha ya first time it said "default" then after I changed it did say RX and the gearbox felt shorter

We've all defaulted!

[nosoks]

@hasslemoff I don;t think i have 2 seconds. Great time man

I was going to have another a go but had a go at the record instead on the ps4 and ended up beating it . Still plenty of time left as well.
Like Greg said I forgot how much fun rallycross is.

 

[gregc]

@hasslemoff a 38.9 is only a gnats you-know-what off the record on PC too. Just in case you need any encouragement

New time for me, not sure if I'll get another run but at least it's a lap I'm happy enough with - 48.334

 

[HammyMansell]

Great times everyone, well done!!

 

[HammyMansell]

A good improvement!

47.449!! Drove its nuts off, a sub 47s is there if you nail it!

Remember we finish tonight, Monday, Get any final times in fellas!!

Couldn't catch @hasslemoff . Wow nice run. This car is such a beast. Like a 2t rally car.

@kembro nice time, but i imagine you used the short cut "Joker" part of the lap right? For the time to count for the TT, you have to do the full lap mate. No worries, but if you have time again today to try the full lap, please do. And post you time here of course.

Sorry think I might of caused some confusion by posting the other lap.

Lol possibly mate, but don't worry, maybe kembro beat us totally with a mega lap!

 

[HammyMansell]

A time from @SpaceBreed (pyro) 44.799!! I think he did the "Joker" lap too lol....Waiting for him to confirm, and kembro too for them to count in the final results later.....But never mind, it's the taking part that counts!!

Glad you said that, as I'm limping in with 52.245.

My excuse is that my pedals have been spiking

 

[nosoks]

Never got back to it.
@Slapped it must be pedal spiking season, I've cleaned mine twice in the last month and need to do it again

this, in case you need to get medievil on the mofo, there is also a video on you tube showing the procedure

 

[HammyMansell]

Here are the results of the RallyCross TT at DirtFish Boneyard layout:

@hasslemoff 47.019

@HammyMansell 47.449

Yeah, I did them last night. Didn't go completely medieval on them though - I just soaked the pots with contact cleaner while working the pedals. Seems to have worked, for now.
