Predictably given the nature of the track, I just cannot get close to gold with the Lancia. I don't do well on the sort of apexless curvy tracks, I find Alsace a mystery and just cannot gel with Grand Valley. In saying that, it is probably the best of the GV layouts. I ran down to 1 second off gold and tbh no idea how to improve.
Post a video of your run?
 
That was a fun first session.

I think the car must be sentient though as it appears to steer/slide itself around the corners without any skill from the pleb behind the wheel🤣

Hi,

There is something going on here! Almost everyone seems to like this combo'. Myself being no exception. This one "clicked" from the first 2 laps. If I can improve this just a little more....

As per usual, ( But much less so here ) there is one corner where I am losing out. If time allows and my muscle memory can be tuned, this could be another top 500 for me. Hippety hop hang dang doody!!!

Best regards to all here.

Ian.
 
Morning folks!

Started the weekend with some backpain and coffey and a Lancia this morning, great combination, and now I have sore hands too from absolutely yeeting that monster around the Valley...🤣

I think I ran around 10 PB's this morning and slowly won a few thousands at the time.

Sector 2 is absolutely fire with this thing and you can yeeet it like crazy due to complete abscence of any tracklimits 🤣🤣

Valid yeeeting

I got rather consistent In the end with the majority in the .2xx and .3xx

But finally had a few good sectors together

Quite happy with it cause I'm struggling a bit with the understeer, don't know if that's a pad thing.....it's probably just me 🤣🤣




And the ingame chase of Damian

Have a great weekend!

That's a really nice lap šŸ‘Œ If I can get something dĆ©cent about as 60% of your lap it would be a miracle šŸ˜‚
 
Great gift to have the Deltona in the game.
It is my favorite rally car ever and I spent hours in my youth to read all its great achievents on Autosprint, an Italian weekly car motorsport magazine.

Many great drivers over the years, but my favorite was Didier Auriol, ambulance driver as a first job, minister of slides later on with a great rally career.

So, let put Didier's livery on and honor this jewel of a car

Got my first VR gold at the Red Bull Ring trial ... woo hoo. I'm normally in silver range of 3.5%

Might get a gold for these new ones too :), Grand Valley with the Lancia in VR is a lot of fun!

Is this really a thing?. Several times on the tight left hander I’ve had my car completely reset. Other times I can seemingly cut the corner. I haven’t figured out what causes the reset yet.
Yeah looks like shortcut penalty is off, you might have that reset car option in the assist settings turned on?

Believe it or not, this time it's the last test of the day at Grand Valley South. 🤣🤣
I'm having so much fun on this track and with this Lancia that it was hard to turn off the PS5...😪🤣
Improve my time at 1'11'534

JérÓme...... take it easy buddy 🤣
You are on fire again! Very steady and fast lap mon ami!

You definitely lost a tenth or more at T 2/3 at the end of S1 with that slide!

Epic progression as always! šŸ™

Yeah seems that the first part of S2 is kind of save yeetable but the corner @Barareklam points out is a little tricky 😁

Thanks a lot my dear Jomar
So first point: I'll calm down if I want to... 🤣🤣
yes, I saw that there was a slide and that it made me lose a little time. But I'm very happy about it. Maybe I'll come back one day.šŸ˜‰šŸ˜‰
 
Happy weekend folks! Had a quick go (very early) on Thursday morning just to try the Lancia, but had a more serious session this morning. I don't consider myself good enough to drive for the factory team under Martini sponsorship, but a ride with the Italian Jolly Club team seemed feasible, and 40 laps(!) later, I'm pretty pleased with the time despite a poor first sector. Going to pause on this one to try and improve again in the Swift, but this is a nice banker lap. :cheers:

Happened to me first time yesterday. Thought I had finally hit a critical point of sleep deprivation and was daydreaming the last 10 seconds of my life, then realized that the game probably doesn’t want me to cut the corner. It’s bizarre that this happens - kind of like getting a time penalty on a circuit experience which has happened to me before - why not just invalidate the lap and keep going? 🤣 I appreciate the Back To The Future reference 😊
