Hi!
I have only TT10 left for 100%, but I´m having a bit a trouble with it. Today I ran 10 laps or so (2 of the got to the finish-line), and my best lap was 4.51.9xx, which is more than two seconds too slow. I have most trouble in the slow 90 degree turns in the beginning, because the RGT UNDERSTREERS so damn much! How can I get it to turn better? Some turns I got it to drift perfectly, gaining me much time, but I don't really know what I did different then =(
 
Just run more laps and i'll guarantee you'll get it. Don't try too hard , just get to the point where you can complete the whole course without running off the track at all, every time. The track is so big that there are almost an infinite number of places to make up time. By running laps you will become more familiar with both the car and all the turns, the time will drop like a rock. I think I was off by 4-5 seconds my first completed lap, but by my 8th completed lap I had finished it with a sec or two to spare. You're much closer than I was.

As for the understeer problem just maybe try to be slightly more agressive with your turn-in, to shift the weight to the front tires more. Be careful though, this car has a bad case of snap oversteer when you exceed the limits...I think you can make up enought time by more familiarity with the track/car without worrying about one particular section too much, unlees you're REALLY BAD at it!

Good Luck, let us know how you do.
 
I've driven a few laps in the RGT, but never tried that TT10.

The best way to get the RGT to turn in is to lift throttle fairly abruptly just as you turn the wheels. This transfers weight forward which helps with rotation. You really need to take an exaggerated late-apex line with this car, meaning that you turn sharply at first, then accelerate almost straight through the turn.

This was my first fast car. Neon is right. Also try setting you toe to +.5/-.5. And if you have a stage 3 or 4 on it try slowing down a lot sooner.

Last time I checked you couldn't make adjustments in TT mode...;)
 
The RGT or any Porsche design favours one kind of driving style. If you can master this style, the Porsche generally wins.

Porsche has won more races/tournaments/events than any other brand.

Porsche is the winningest Marque. That statement is officially recognized by the FIA.

Basically slow down a little less than you would normally, turn in without throttle so the weight can transfer onto the front, and the rears weight can then slide out a bit more and then just pour it on because the 911 chassis has more grip than anyother car in the world under full acceleration. Excluding 4WD.

Or, just come up to the turn, do a bit of subtle tail braking to get the back end out just a wee bit, then just turn the wheel and power on before the apex, the rear weight bias will pull you right around the turn and you can just straighten the car as you pull away with some ludicrous exit speed!

I love Porsche!
 
Thanks for the replys!

I managed to beat it today, 4.47.2xx, and that wasn't even close to being a perfect lap. This means I'm officially a member of the 100% Club! YAY!
 
Want scary? The record drivers are under 4:40. Search a bit, there is a link to a video of one of the top runs at tt10.
