Was the Lambo meant to be easy 🤷🏻‍♂️

First lap and straight into gold

I then set about trying to make the 1:51.xxx club to the point of millimetres from invalidating the lap but still just outside at 1:52.006, that will do for a safe gold on this one, although I did enjoy it.

I've shared both replays if anyone wants a bearly gold ghost or a nearly 1:51.xxx ghost 😅

I've got my Evo ready to go for the weekend too

First test in Deep Forest and this Mitsubishi is very pleasant to drive in this track !!!

 

[Jeje6410]

Improve my time at 1'34'558 with optimal time at 1'34'255

Noice. A bit of an easier TT this week.

Where are your shifting points for this one? I found revving it out to be fastest.

 

[sturk0167]

I came up with a strategy to get gold at Deep Forest.
Since the Lancer is a front engine car, I took my dog with me, and put him in the back seat for ballast weight. 👍

5 laps in. 1s inside gold. I know It’s 1st day, but can't remember when was the last time when I got into gold on day 1. Still some time to find. Now have some time for lambo... or to learn how to drive stratos for sunday's clash of titans

 

[half_sourly]

Results for TT98 (or what will be TT102) are over here. No interims while I go through the updating / combining job. Up to TT29 now...

Reminder that some things like averages, golds, etc. will look odd while I work through the update.

 

[Jeje6410]

For the last test today in Deep Forest improve my time at 1'34'229 with optimal time at 1'33'982

Lol, that's so cool. Great strategy. Well I'm already in silver territory and it took only 6 laps. Deep Forest isn't that long of a track than Suzuka is. The only parts I don't like is the downhill part before the first tunnel. And then the sharp left turn after the last tunnel you come out of. That is a lap-killer right there. I'll figure it out.

 

[brockie]

It will be an easy 90 secs work for me for 250k - who am I kidding 🤣

 

[hyperspeed980]

No, it should be, "The Lancer is the Answer." Meaning it is the key to gold this time.

I mean, it's not exactly like you can choose any other car.

 

[Stormbreaker]

The car felt very stable, enjoyable TT 🏅

 

[Pesselles]

Hi guys (and Greek)

First ride at Deep Forest on the new TT with the Lancer Evo Gr. 4.
First TT with my bday gift (Fanatec + GT omega) --> @half_sourly could you update my "profile" in your spreadsheets, please?

The car is pretty easy to drive on wheel but I'm still struggle to upshift/downshift the gears (should be better tomorrow).
I'm very happy with this surprising score (4 tenths from the gold mine) with only few laps on a custom race for training.
I really wasn't expecting such result.

Happy lapping everyone

 

[Gomario JSP]

Thursday Nokia-time 😁😜

Well.... I was expecting more from it, it's like TO straight forward....and its almost impossible to get oversteer .....
Glued to the tarmac 🤣

Well.... first meters on remote were not that bad, banker lap should hold 🤣

Tomorrow morning the first session , we will see where it ends 🙈

 

[skydragon49]

Helloooooo nurse!

Another week, another gold in the very first day. I'm taking the advantage I can over the easy TTs lately. 😂

The car is easy to drive but somehow I have this feeling that it is meant to be driven hard. High revs, throwing it around corners, pushing as hard as it can in the corner exits.... I might come back for more in this TT. Deep Forest is super nice to drive.

Also, burning the midgnight oil in the single and only session I had with the Honda Gr2 at Suzuka actually paid off. My gold held up.

Happy TT days!

 

[ikon_313]

Did two stints at Deep Forest today using the wheel and got into gold pretty easily after the first five laps. Then switched to another liveried Lancer and improved a few tenths. Really nice combo to practice my trail breaking without having to worry at all during corner exits about spinning when putting any power down.

Also pretty happy about getting to take two of my favourite liveries out. Always had a soft spot for time attack and 90's tuners from Japan and both of these are replicas of two machines built by legendary Susumu Koyama from none other than JUN Auto.

After having some fun at Brands Hatch today I decided to give the new TT a first try.
It's not a tricky one, but enjoyable to drive. Maybe I am done already.

 

[ZEE]

After chugging my first few laps at the forest on this new TT, this Evo came out top trumps! Pretty happy to get my gold again after a long while!

Plenty of space to improve as I do like this course and this car will take time to perfect. Thank you @Tidgney your guide helped my acheive this good time!!!

I'll say this, it is harder to do transitions on corners with a DUALSENSE!

 

[Talon16]

33.8, done and done. This one's pretty straight forward, gents. Go get paid!

 

[Evilmuffin]

Into the 33s. Was hoping to get into the 1% 🙈 Still crazy that I'm so far off on the ranking board at 1.02% 🤣

 

[skydragon49]

Hello and greetings!

Unexpectedly I got time with the living room for myself, and went time trialing again.

Got an Evolution 😅 time wise. Hopefully, not final.

 

[Interemptor]

Some laps after work.. Feels pretty nice to drive imo..

edit:

So close 💀

 

[VSpec_R]

There’s more lap time in there to be achieved.

 

[Evilmuffin]

Drove a few more laps....got inside the 1%

 

[2cam16]

Pretty fun car that EVO is. As always,good enough for me and if I can reach Silver in a few days, I'll reattempt.

[Dolph Drago]

First go at Deep Forest.

 

[Awong124]

The Evo Deep Forest is one of the easiest TTs for sure.

 

[NAXEHT]

Difficult. Managed a 1’48.415 which felt pretty solid but I’m further behind than usual. I did have one pretty nice lap where I reached the split just before 130R at 1’28.457 (-0,200 on my PB) but completely screwed that one going into the Casio Triangle way too late on the brakes, held it inside and kept it valid but had obviously lost way too much time and guided it home to .537. That truly sucked but I couldn’t muster any more energy or passion to continue. Oh well, at least it’s back to regular schedule and not fifty TT’s at the same time (not a fan) and at least I was in one of the best looking Hondas out there.

New Time Trial
Racing Hard, BOP On

Happy Hunting Everyone

Gr.4. What I was fearing for. Man, this is gonna SUCK. We’ve had some proper stinkers recently. Repeats and now a freaking Gr.4 snail. Yawn.

Masters of Time Trials, does any of you use some lap analysis software to check lap into details and maybe compare to some other lap? and in that case which one? has ony of you tried Delta or is curious to try it?
