Kind of a late reply here, but I just wanted to stop by and share my latest Time Trial achievements with you guys
Thankfully, I've managed to improve my terrible lap time at Mount Panorama with the Mustang before the end of the event, with a much safer Silver medal:
Might not look like much to you guys, but actually I'm quite proud of that time. Especially because my previous Personal Best was like 2 seconds slower than this, and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't seem to improve any longer.
Those walls... well, now that the event is over I do have to be honest, the problem with this TT weren't the walls, but definitely my inability to find a proper racing line in between of said walls... that downhill section is a handful!
To my defense I can certainly argue that the Mustang gets upset quite easily as well, and I could also "blame" Tidgney for classifying this TT as "easy" on his guide lol
Easy?! Easy to who? Not me, certainly!
I really should know better, c'mon what was I thinking: Bathurst in a Mustang?
Anyway, after
some a lot of red laps and analyzing Tidgney's guide (always helpful!) I've managed this safe Silver which was the best I could ask for with a combo like this and the skills & free time that I have.
DISCLAIMER: this picture was taken this last Thursday, so my placing on the leaderboard is certainly different by now...
Ah yes... now this is more like it!!
Let me just express my appreciation for this new Miata/MX-5 or whatever you want to call it... what a nice car, love everything about it, the sound, the handling, nice one Mazda!
At first, I had some trouble finding a Gold time that's safe enough to be happy about it... gave the 12R another go a few days later and shaved a few more tenths, granting a much safer spot above the goal.
Momentum really is everything here, keeping the car steady and using a wider line through the corners to maximize the track limits is the way to go.
Now I can just sit back and wait for next Thursday to see what PD will throw at us.
Gr.2 at Autopolis? No thanks!
