Very strict, one touch penalty as it should be.I think that requiring a garage car for the Spa TT is a poor decision as it probably locks a sizable chunk of the playersbase out of competing. Oh well. I for my part put in about an hour and clocked in at 2:16.583. The Ford is a smooth drive on the Racing Softs and surprisingly forgiving. Funnily enough I am tied with another guy for the exact same time...
I haven't tried the tuning event yet but I really love the East Loop track. How strict are the wall contact rules?

I hate when wall riding is not punished.

It's so frustrating though, even the tiniest little tap results in an invalidated lap time. But its good it stops people cheating.

As strict as it gets. Olympic TT Style.

I tried the set-up given by SDI-03 (thanks!) but don't get the 200Kmh max speed bit....... it's made me much slower because of the long straight.... have I missed something somewhere??? 
Handles much better though!
You only have to look at a wall and get an invalid lap!

Set the final drive to 5.000, then set 200kmh. Then set the final to what its in the tune, dont remember.I tried the set-up given by SDI-03 (thanks!) but don't get the 200Kmh max speed bit....... it's made me much slower because of the long straight.... have I missed something somewhere???

Check the individual gears, 5th is close to 430kmh when all things are set up correctly

Thanks, I'll have to fiddle some more. Tried that and the top speed I actually got was 310 Kmh (on the track).Set the final drive to 5.000, then set 200kmh. Then set the final to what its in the tune, dont remember.

Still languishing at the bottom end of top 4,000 but as there are only 6,849 players that's not really very good!

Whoa. Finally made it under the two minute mark... Major thanks to SDI_03 ! Never worked on a TT that much I think. This one is all about confidence and patience I guess. The replay is so satisfying! I mentioned it before, but it really felt like GT1 to me. Probably the reason why I didn't give up. Couldn't be happier as a 3 day weekend is coming my way

Ok, embarrassing but still couldn't get good top speed - checked other settings and saw power was only increased to level 2..... for some daft reason I thought this was already set to max (5). Upgraded and whacked the power up...... and moved up over 1,000 places!Set the final drive to 5.000, then set 200kmh. Then set the final to what its in the tune, dont remember.

Still near the back end of top 3,000 and goodness knows how people are getting less than 2 minutes..... super well done to those that can! 🏁

I was actually wondering how is it possible I'm in top 100 in Ford Mark IV trial, and then I remembered that not a lot of people have it, and you can't use it if you don't have it. 2:16:090 after 10 laps, I think it's an ok time for a gamepad .

As a pad player too, I will give you an update on this later😉 currently just below 500th but I know I can do more.
EDIT: Didn't mess with the settings too much but couldn't get a better time than 2:18.7xx. This is the one time out of ten which I'm able to get through eau rouge correctly... Congrats man! You're fast.
May I ask you what BB were you using?

Default BB, I rarely mess with car settings.There were some mistakes, I could probably take off a few more tenths, but I'm satisfied with this.

Night time at the ring should be interesting! I think I'll have to have a few runs at this one.Oh wow. The 'Shleife. I know what I'll be doing this week
Group B isnt bad either. Love rallying. Hope things will turn out as good as last week!

Spent a couple of hours for the Time Trials this week-end. Here are my results:
GT3 @ Nurb 24h- Love this track, love the Supra too . I managed to get a 8:19.8xx. Pretty satisfied with this, though I would really like to beat this time in a Porsche RSR if possible. (Chasing those Kevin Estre vibes you know
). I could still shave off a couple of seconds with the Toyota, but I consider my job done for now.
For those struggling with night time, try raising the level of exposure in game via your Menu> Options> Video output. You'll notice a great difference right away. Another tip would be to practice with the same settings in daylight first, just to give your muscle memory a boost. Surprisingly effective.
Rally Gr.B @ Sardegna- Well, now this one's equally fun as it is frustrating. Could not get under the 1:20's with the Subie, so I'll try some of the other cars later during the upcoming week. Currently at 1:20.4xx but I have some more work to do for sure.
Wish you guys a good week, cheers and stay safe

Love the ring, but 24h track and night is a bitch. So hard to do it clean. Managed a conservative 9:03 with the RSR with some grass on the tires, but I think I could eventually do an 8:30 within the next two weeks once I start pushing.
Tried the F-Type as well as the Italia and those were a no-go for me. You really need a planted car or else you spin out like nothing.

My tunes for Ford and Hyundai
Hyundai seems to be more easy to drive, but is few tenths slower than Ford.
Happy hunting!

As a player who just cannot get the hang of rally in this game, I am very pleased to have got back into top 2,000 (6,755 players at the moment) with a time of 1:24:xxx - which is only about 7 seconds off the leaders.... 🤣🤣🤣 On such a short course that's an eternity! How on earth do they do it????
The ring, I managed the first few corners before crashing because couldn't see anything - given up completely on that one!
