I realized a few things about CGV. I kept throwing myself at the sausage curbs in vain and just couldn’t find any consistency there. After much cursing I hit the books 📚😂

Studying the replays - there’s very, very little room for error at the brake points prior to chicane entry. I tried to match these brake points exactly. Theres less trail braking and more brake -> lift off, rotate -> tires bite -> hit the sausage

Also prior to the entry of the second chicane, there’s track to the left there under the bridge that I wasn’t using, and keeping left there improved my entry massively. I have a slight tendency to drift towards the apex too early and this track massively punishes such behavior 😂 so it’s good in a way that I’m practicing it!!

Eventually found a rhythm and got into the low 1:24s. Will go again tonight but it’s a toss-up as to whether I can improve on this.

Thanks for this. The precision required to match the speeds of the aliens is totally insane here.

I also noticed that trail breaking means death by understeer here but I just can't make it work anyways.

Will probably settle for silver here.

I don't know where I pulled this from. My aim was to simply get into the 24.9s because I didn't think I was capable of anything more. I went round Lesmo 1 in 4th instead of 3rd and accidently shortshifted through Ascari... whether that helped me or hindered me I don't know, but I won't bother finding out!

There's more in the kitty here. I just ran out of tme before I had to go to bed. I wasn't going to stay up late again because there simply isn't any point when you know you'll be playing Forza Horizon 6. So what if I don't get gold. It's not like I'm short on cash or anything.

Epic result there buddy!

I did set my time in the GTR and tried the NSX for some laps this morning but couldn't even get a 24 with it? 😂
Feels more steady than the GTR but I am soooo much slower in it? 🤣
 
Hey folks - first time in a long time that there's nothing meaningful to post. I've avoiding the Monza event (although I did OK with the car when we ran at GVS).

911 at the 'Ring - I'm enjoying the event, but am unsatisfied with progress as it seems to have stalled and I can't improve on my current best of 9:43.8. I probably spent 4 hours across the weekend trying to better this (oh the hardship... first world problems etc.) and on three occasions ran low 9:44s but couldn't for the life of me either a) get a complete lap, or; b) beat my time. I've seen mention of roll cages (fitted from the beginning), wide/narrow tires (probably, whatever came with the livery... may include offset change as well), and oven gloves (not tried, but open to anything ;)) - based on the things that I can change, it seems most straightforward to switch to a rental car before I go again, just to rule out anything that is impacting me.

Of course, it may also be because I'm not very good on this event, comparatively speaking - a theory that the CVG event may be proving since I can't get out of silver right now... will keep plugging away, but open to suggestions

what I’m going to say next would be very confusing to my psychiatrist and very much a relief for my partner…

Well now that I’ve got that out the way.. I did say I’d try until I got into the 1:23s but I might not even bother. Sausage roulette is not my favourite past time and the NSX’s penchant for stepping out under power without much warning makes this tricky lil’ bastard not much fun whatsoever

I need to improve my time at Nurburgring and ran what was actually a fairly fast and smooth lap and...it was a second and a half slower? WHAT?? I literally have no words, nor any clue as to what to do next. I had a concert last night and went to bed way late, and can't be getting up late tomorrow as I have a ride and drive at work I need to be in at a decent time in the morning for, so I guess that'll be my way to ruin tomorrow night. I legitimately do not know, but this is majorly concerning.

Sucks bro. I finally gave up. I just couldn't find the time to keep going considering the very few valid laps.
Did you try the roll cage vs rental car? It does change the car altogether, could be of some help to get the time you need.
 
Quick science experiment before bed.. same car, same roll cage, standard wheels… first flying lap, 1 second quicker. Could tell before I got to the timing beam to start the lap it was better. More lap time to come, just a little frustrating I’m on the clock now before the deadline.
