Time Trial Discussion [Archive]

[Tomiroquai]

Not listing you but i dont get why people post time trial videos in the Replay Camera. Like in the time trial lap, you want to show your driving and replay camera is totally not the way to show it. Dont get this at all.

The point here wasn't to show my weak talent, but the bestial behaviour of the car in a beautiful replay really enjoyable to watch.

And also, didn't want to have a too big video of 17 min with the run itself, played in hood cam with no vision of the wheel work. That run wasn't interesting at all imo, but I thought the replay was.

I can add it if you like though.

Note that I usually put the run and the replay together when I make a video for my friends (I usually play in VR) :

Man, i am having a hard time keeping this thing under control lol

Finally got a clean lap in and improved my time by about 2 sec. Got a 8.28.746 right now and i know i can still cut that down by a few seconds, but not sure I'll get much more.

Hats off to the folks who can drive this beast at the limit. I can run old school muscle with comforts and no tc all day, but this car is undriveable for me under tc2, and all i see is the red flashing nearly the whole lap lol even with trying to be gentle on the throttle as i can so as to keep it from activating. If i turn it off.... lol i can not balance this thing at all once it tries to step out on me. Real skill pushing this car to the limit on this track

That's why Engineers have invented the driving aids.

That's nice to share your settings ! But I'll wait for a reset.

event already resetted.

It's a love and hate with this car in this event. More hate i think. Not familiar at all with the track and FF cars , i will not publish this tune in my garage , just an extreme setting for extreme event.

Transmition flip needed

Good to hear! Let that be a lesson to all the silly sheep that wasted their time using this shortcut... don't be a dick in future just drive the damn track and stop wrecking events for others 👎

Now get to bed and your grounded for 2 weeks 👍

Right so now the cheating has been sorted out I've had my first ever go at tuning. (And I do mean first ever). I've taught myself by reading the GTSport menus.

Set power as high as possible and weight as low as possible. So a lower ride height is 'better', so set that as low as possible front and back. Set the anti roll bars to get as much oversteer as possible due to the chronic understeer.
I've no idea why the angle of my toes affects things so didn't touch that.

It's a low speed track with lots of corners so set the gear ratios with the lowest top speed, so I guess the best acceleration?

TC to 0. BB to +5.

So yeah. If anyone knows why my car now handles like crap I'd like to hear why

 

[Pigems]

Did all times get reset? Mines gone for some reason, even though it was a legit time.

That's why I was waiting for the reset. They reset everyone.

 

[Pigems]

Cool, thanks for the info. I just re ran a few more laps and ended up beating my old time anyways. Down to 1:30.872 now using this, uhh, “group of settings” we’ll call it. It’s definitely not worthy of being called a Tune, that’s for sure.

It does seem to work however.

 

[Lgirasol]

Thanks to everyone who has posted tuning info! I just took nearly a second off my time. Down in the mid-1:33s now. Decent for me but I know I’ll have to keep improving throughout the next week and a half.

Definitely approve of time trial mode and the concept of tuning in sport mode. The tuning actually has some meaning to me now.

How do you keep the Porsche on track?

 

[Lazybike]

Don't brake or steer....

Channel your inner Stefan Roser.

Close your eyes if there's a turn, and pray.

The toe-in/out helps with changes in d8rection. The front should be out about 25-35 on a track, rear in about the same. PD thinks you need toe-in at 60 in the rear to get stability, but less will give agility

Am I reading this right? 6° of rear camber? lol

Thank for your settings I just did quite the same time, #54

EDIT I'm now #31 after gaining 0,3s I changed a bit the settings to suit me more, check above.

 

[Pigems]

Just about to take my first run in the new Porsche. Has anyone else noticed that you can use your shifter/clutch for the Time Trials? That’s freakin wicked!! Thanks PD!!

Yes, I noticed that, but you're more efficient with the paddles now that they're fast.

Oh most definitely, I just thought it was cool that we at least have the option again.

Yep, that make sense since you can't shift faster with the shifter now.

 

[bil coz]

I think I made a rather decent Civic, because I never drive FF cars but I got 1:30.6 and it's in top 50 atm.
Here's the tune

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

Cool, you should think of audio syncing the two clips and cross cutting between them if you can.

How do you find out how many participants? Do you just keep scrolling next until the end (which would be very time consuming IMO)?

I do this count since the Seasonal Events in GT6 to win a car.
It's easy, I do a very slow lap to stay close to the last placed. I can usually stay in the last page.

But I will have to abandon the count in the next few days because I'll make a decent lap.

At the moment, by the way, there are more than 6.300 participants.

Edit: Top 3 Currently

1) Dual_Wield-2...... 8:00.122
2) IOF-RACING17....8:00.631
3) V1PER-ZERO-.......8:01.116

Ahh the old 10 minute lap trick I miss the GT5 time trial notification that shows you placed X/XXX participants everytime you set a new record. Just another one of those things that goes backwards as the series progress. I'm surprised the GTS leaderboards even lets you scroll beyond the usual 10 players. I reached up to 1000 before I got bored

Anyway, hoping to see more quirky combos in the future. Maybe intersperse it with drift trials or Sierra time rally style events too 💡
