Hi!

I'm having my share of hours driving each week. I mostly just try to tune my performance streetcars for the Trial Mountain. I give them full tune, super soft, and of I go. Now and then I go online, and try to compete, but those "fast" cars, ain't fast at all.
Under are some cars, and avarage better times, I mostly manage at Trial Mountain.
Could someone tell me, are they fast, or slow, or in the middel.

Audi R8 4.2 1.22.00
Audi R8 5.2 1.21.5
Veyron 1.21.0
Speed 12 1.21.5
C63 AMG 1.23.00
SLS/SLR 1.22.00

I'm "old", so my fingers ain't that useable, meaning I drive automatic, and PS3 controller. Maybe one day i have a steeringwheel, but I enjoy driving anyway.
The R8 4.2 is the car I'm most happy with, getting the most stabile laptimes. The SLR was faster, but as I didn't write down the setup, I have messed it up. Now I'll probably beat the SLR in my SLS. My best 5 lap rae at Supercar Festival is 6.48 in Veyron, meaning I still does plenty laps with big mistakes.
What is possible to manage in different cars?💡
 
try the nissan r390 gt road car, the NSX prototype road car and above all any Zonda :)
 
NSX R 02 at about 540pp IRC is a very fast car, if tuned correctly, will be a hard car to beat.

I race between 500 - 600 sports road car. I feel any road car above 600pp online is asking for trouble, as your entering the relms of very fast cars without ptoper downforce setups.

Saying that, i do race in the lower end alot (450pp) in my ST170 focus, i haven't lost a race with it yet. The lower pp racestend to be a lot closer and more fun thanthe faster higher pp cars.
 
In case you didn't know: the online physics are different from the offline. They are much less forgiving. So when tuning cars, use your lounge or visit "free run" rooms.
 
At a steep track like the Trial Mountain such cars with dull acceleration are rather slower than the cars lighter than them because excessive weight can operate as a ballast which prevents the car from going upward on a slope, the R8 is a well-balanced car for a 4WD that's generally considered to be fast and stable in its acceleration, but slower at turnings as they're heavier than the cars mounted with other transmissions such as MR or FR.

Veyron and Speed 12 are not really that suitable for trial mountain IMO.

Try a fast MR like an NSX or maybe an RUF.

I have tried NSX's, and yes they are fast, but I'm faster with these listed.

I have tried them. The GT390 is fast, I struggle a bit more with the Zondas.

I thought I experienced that yesterday. But still, a good setup, is a good setup.

This I understand.

But now. What would be a fast time arround the Trial Mountain, for a street car?
 
OK!
No one could answer on this.
Last night I found a online race, just fitted for these kind of cars, and setups. It showed that my R8's was both very capable. The Speed 12 never really managed to make any good times, as it was two laps races. The Nardo did OK, but was beaten by Mclaren F1. The R8 4.2 did beat the Mclarens, but was also beaten by it.
I learned that the Mclaren I have, is slower then the one I raced against yesterday, so I need to finetune more.
