after long time I did TT for more than 1 lap šŸ˜† well I did 6-7 with MR, It's great car, good combo.. only managed 53,18? .. 52 should be possible in one more stint but idk if I'll do it
 
I was sitting at 53.007 and was about to quit trying for the 52 when this happened...

Congrats šŸ‘
Great time!

As I said above, I've tried X2019 too, and bring monster to 1:10.4 šŸ„ˆ time from first stint.
There was even several times I could go .09, but every time couldn't straighten up on time to open throttle on the last corner...
And I was coming to it with 1:02, which is probably enough to reach gold until finish line.

But I was too tired and went to bed resting from GT and heat.

Now I have to have open doors until 22-23h, even later to cool down room, that is from west side and Sun ā˜€ļø is heating to it until it comes down...

Yeah I improved my time in the X2019 to the 3.7% range (was sitting at 4.75% for a week but didn't feel secure there) but I'm just taking the silver in that one. Not much fun driving the car really so meh...
 
After i watched the GTWS i tried to emulate the aliens and man what a rollercoaster! This combo is crazy fast
The most difficult thing was to find traction at the exit of the first hairpin because of the crazy spinning this thing has
(And i'm very happy for the podium of Gallo in the Nations šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹šŸ)

It pains me to say it, I have to quit playing with the Double D's šŸ˜ž and move on to the MR2. This one is getting tougher. The track has a good flow to it, so it will definitely take getting a good a rythm to get lower. Im trying to decide if CSA is helping or not. Leaning towards it being off. Anyways, going to give it a go tomorrow without it being DUI laps. šŸ˜‚

The Red Bull is an absolutely infuriating TT to drive - it took me seemingly forever to even get it into the 1:08s, and even then, it's almost impossible to get a solid lap where the ****ing thing doesn't just understeer...or not brake even close to enough...out of nowhere, destroying what could've been a fast lap. I got a 1:08.696, but my optimum was only a .503, so I'm really not sure where to gain time, besides the car just not being a colossal pile of ****. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
 
This morning I was fighting with X2019 beast, and managed to tame him almost to gold shine! But devil resisted this time. Although, I'm very close to finish him!

With all assists off, HUD off, cockpit camera and DualSense!
Direct capture:



@MP81 any advice on my lap to improve it?

Hey folks... had a couple of stints in the MR2 yesterday. Almost at my limit now, but if I had the time, there may be a half tenth left in it. Regardless, quite happy with this and another improvement to my Edge score with a lap of 52.504 - no aids other than ABS weak, and no wing and using standard wheel sizing. Below screenshot is from last night, so have likely dropped 100+ places since then.

Haven't gone back to the Daytona event, but I'm about done on that one as well at 1:51.816 (0.87%). Hope you are all well.

I decided to try for the 6 Million credit payday and I got there! :D Feels good because I really didn't think the X2019 one was there for me...

Great job!

I made 840km with X2019 today and no gold.
First I entered sub 1:10 with 1:09.660 and later only managed to improve it - for 10 thousands of second šŸšœ
 
I am enjoying this MR2, but man, I'm down in that area where if you want to improve, you cannot make a mistake. Just now starting to get T1 really well, then being set for the hard right. It's definitely fun when you hit it. I did this one with CSA off. Going to try again with it on to see how it does with the new line I have on T1.

Got it!

Very tight and I don't know will it be enough, athough I doubt anyone can beat Italian.

I'm so disappointed that I did mistake on last corner, it cost me a lot!
Last corner is killing me regularly!

But for now, 6mills

And now the first time out in the MR2 - pretty decent, a 0:52.462 with an optimum of .411. Was not improving at all the last 22 laps (my .462 was actually my optimum until that next lap...and then it never improved from there), went out wide on the last corner and meh...that's it for tonight, as I clearly wasn't going to do anything useful with additional laps.
 
Not sure this is living up to @330_D's expectations :lol:
But i would say not too bad for 30mins of driving.

A lot of this track requires very precise turn in points to be able to get through flat out, particularly T5 right hander and basically all of S3. On this lap I misjudged the turn in for the first right hander of S3 and then had to lift through the following left to avoid going onto the grass, probably dropped 2 tenths as a result.

Not as bad as I was expecting this to be. I may come back to it depending how the other 2 trials go tonight and tomorrow.

Finally, onto the Shelby!
 
Ok, 3 TT in a row to finish soon, so I`ll resume all of them:

Daytona + Shellby - I enjoyed a lot because I like a lot these 60s LeMans/Daytona race cars as they are pure driving machine with low downforce, and using low grip tyres as should be considerding the evolution of tyres. This is an easy TT, where the secret is keep calm while accelerate in exit corners, and the countersteer is easy when lose some grip.

Deep Forest + X2019 - This is a thoght one, but I could reach gold very quick, but spent about 30 min to gain some tenths below gold. Secret is the T1, T2 and T0, because it`s difficult to hit apex and keep the momentum for high traction without losing grip. In VR the experience is insane, but I think is easier than bump view becasue you have a realistc speed sense.

Maggiore + MR2 - This is a difficult TT because the car has a insane entry oversteer, so demands a clinical input in breaks during turn in. First S and T2 are the hardest ones, demading a lot of tries until learn a decent pace.

Let`s see what updates we`ll have in physics this thursday.

My old man reflexes aren't good enough for the red bull car and because my time is relatively limited, screw that thing. šŸ˜¬šŸ˜
 
As expected the MR2 was predictable and easy to get gold, no issue there.

The RB car though, just cannot find the right balance between braking late enough and carrying enough mid corner speed and stuck about 2 tenths from gold. But annoying but I can't be bothered trying anymore. I dunno how tidge makes it look so easy.
 
Did I mention that I absolutely ****ing HATE the Red Bull?

Seriously: **** that thing.

180.8 miles in that trash and all I was able to find was one whole tenth, down to a 1:08.590.

But don't worry, my optimum was a .190 (or so I think, because our friend the unguarded "retry" button was there to totally erase my entire session data), which was wholly unobtainable because the car is an absolute collosal mess.

I'm not where I want to be, but if I do any more with this garbage, I'm going to end up throwing my entire wheel stand out of the house. I'll focus on one of the other two tomorrow, because I don't keep half the neighborhood awake with my yelling, and pleading and outright exclamation at how completely inconsistent that RB junk is.

Again: **** that thing. Waste of my night.

I can still gold em but with high down force cars that are really fast just don't do it for me quite like the slow comfort tire trials. ā¤ļø

Agreed. I'm really liking the slower cars that I can slide around a bit.
 
OK, three TTā€™s in quick succession! Three nights in a row, one session each. Knocked them off Saturday, Sunday and Monday night. Started off with the Shelby Daytona.

Before I started driving SS seemed perhaps a tad grippy but this turned out fairly decent. Finally some slightly different time settings too which was welcome. More of that, please. Bus stop is always an insane pain at Daytona but apart from that, not bad.

The MR2. Sounded like a cool TT and I think it was as well. To be honest, the first one where I genuinely enjoyed myself in a long time and found it to be quite fun. Fairly tricky to nail the penultimate and final corner and there was some time left in it, in fact I was +0,081 behind my previous PB, a .234, at the split just before the penultimate corner but nailed those two final ones and carried it home to a .173.

RB X2019. Really tired of this, had zero motivation given that itā€™s the sixth time weā€™re doing a TT in this car. I mean, just think about that again. Six times. In the same car. Enough with these lame GTWS tie in TTā€™s. Still hundreds weā€™ve never driven. To my great surprise I got a respectable lap in after just about 120 kms, was expecting to have to spend more time on this. The lap just kinda clicked and hooked together with a few minor slip ups and wheelspins here and there, nothing major.

Obviously some left in it to go sub 08 but it was clear to me that looking for that would just cause too much frustration, Iā€™d rather end on a happy note instead of spending a few more hours on it, getting annoyed to only gain perhaps half a tenth in the end. Not really worth it. Iā€™m a non-factor in this car anyway.

PD: So, what you're saying is: you want more RB X2019 time trials?
