Time Trial Discussion

@Tidgney, did you published your traditional guide about how to approach the TT with the Honda at the Lago Maggiore?

Am I wrong or none have done it?
I am 4 thousandths slower for gold... and it is quite frustrating missing the gold for nothing...

Thanks a million!
I was so used to check in this tread that I forgot to go there directly.
Very kind!

Sorry for the repost, didn't realize it was already shared.

Right before I had to leave for a birthday visit I ran a few lap on thr GP layout, gearing difference is huge in terms of laptimes, had a very descent split before the final chicane .704 but stuffed up the last corner ....chickened out and blew it 🤣🤣

I think I am going to do another session on this one cause a sub 21 is definitely possible IF all goes right 🤣🤣

I spent 2 hours to get this. Note that this is a time 💩 on a VGT of 💩

Were you using the Boost feature on the car? I was unable to get below 3% until I discovered that.

You know that feeling when you actually do nail all fastest sectors..AAAND pass last chicane bollard of death

Just for you, I went back and improved by doing poorly in every sector except the last one 😂 🥲

After a flurry of time-trialing over the past weeks I can share these (random) thoughts:

1. The Opel at Road Atlanta is nutty. Understanding that the car turns best when off the brake, I still couldn't execute sector 1 properly for a LONG time. T1 is simple enough, just floor the throttle, chuck the car in, lift-off briefly if needed. The left and then blind right-hand always gives me problems. I ended up watching the top replay, noting the speed at turn in and apex points, and then trying to mimic that. I can't drive the Opel intuitively no matter what I'm doing 😡but just memorizing the mph I needed to be at during different parts of the turns helped me. I needed to brake hard to about 118mph, then coast through the blind right-hander apex at about 112mph and only then mash the throttle on the way out. Still didn't achieve a great time but hopefully it's good enough . I found myself over-braking most of the time and then getting left in the dust.

More random thoughts, the electric motor sound is nice but... I'm hearing what sounds like an aluminum trash can rattling any time I to speed in this thing. Is the body made out of tin foil or something? I'm hoping that I don't need to go back!!

2. The Elantra N is cool. Unlike the Opel I find myself going back to this one to try to improve.

Hello friendos!

Quick update from me as currently the only trial I am participating in is the Honda Racing eMS… I don’t even know what we are competing for but competition is STIFF! I had a really good session today with some reasonable improvement and now a tiny droplet of hope that I’ll finish within the world top 100; my theoretical ‘perfect’ lap time is under 1:39.3 so if I get one more chance to try maybe just maybe I’ll nail that all..

Until then this was a good stab.

Hello there!

Double gold achieved, but I just won't touch the Opel VGT. It doesn't seem to be fun. (For me at least)
