Spa was expected ofcourse due to the F1 calender... but come on....
I was hoping for something better than this..

For me this will be a gold and run i guess, IF i even going to try it.....
22 July i'm off to the land of @Jeje6410 and the RUF challenges will stay top 100, this one certainly is not going to be 😂 😂

Good luck fellas!

I wanted to reply with a "helicopter" gif, but seemed kind of inapropiate 😂😂 ,
Very warm indeed!, luckly there has been some good rain too so chances of fire ( each year though ) are maby less,
But thanks buddy!

No go on and hop in the Washingmachine and kill Spa!, 😁😁
Your 42.4 is strong to for the RUF btw!
 
It looks similar to a race Car and that is what I like. In general I prefer "Spa Wars" over "Nord of the Ring" and so I am a happy man. 🙂 Enjoy!

By the way today should be my turn to earn my gold medal No. 50 and thanks to this awesome community it was fun instead of work. You guys rule! 🏁
I love the track...
Just not a fan of TT's in high downforce cars as I'm not very good at it + electric VGT :yuck:
 
The results for TT151 at Autódromo de Interlagos in the Ferrari GTO '84 are over here. I have updated the opening post with the index of all TTs and the second post with the community scoreboards. A reminder that each driver's results for every TT is in the Excel file attached to the latest results post.

Here are some interim statistics for TT152 at Fuji International Speedway in the RUF RGT 4.2 '16.

Very demanding track. I actually stuck some tape on my monitor to cover the speedo, as usually I like to glance at it during corner exits to 'monitor' the lap. But this seems to fail with gr.1 cars as everything is happening too fast. Happy to get some kind of representative time in, albeit with a real cock up at the bus stop 💩

Gaaah the Saudi pushed me to silver by under a tenth of a second at Interlagos, thanks mate!

Never tried the Hyundai but if it is like the other Vision cars, I expect an understeer fest. Joyless things. Why not try Superformula or F3500?

Jippie.....as a pad player...... i can't wait to try this out 😟 😂😂
I mean can we talk about your RUF pad time!?? Phenomenal time buddy, we need a trial like this to slow you down! Making all us all the gear no idea guys look bad!

Speaking of which I gave it a good go this morning. I don’t have time really, my shoulder gets worse and worse but I traditionally do well at Fuji… it’s not my favourite combo, I don’t like the way you need to induce understeer in the slow corners to be fast especially the final corner.

I had a .8 but a slight slide in the penultimate corner pushed me over track limits so this is it for now. Back Sunday for one last attempt but tomorrow it’s off to Oulton Park for a track day; one track I really wish they’d bring to GT7 😔

I should have used my "Eat Dan Tes for lunch" livery for this one!, it would have stand for a few days this time 😂 😂
and actually ment something 😂😂

I am sure you'll crush it next time buddy!, hope your shoulder gets well soon!.... ( although not in leaderboard world) 😂
 
Had a go at Spa today in the Hyundai VGT. Can push the throttle so early out of corner exit with this car. It'll take some time for me to get used to it. In middle sectors, the ghost was so far ahead of me that I was starting to feel lonely. I’ll get it with practice!

Here's the latest guide for those interested! Controller players are going to find this hard as there's definitely some limitations there unfortunately!


As always Your guide lap is helpful & insightful. You were right too on this TT about being hard for the controller/pad users. Seeing Your wheel lap I was amazed & shocked even as I managed a 1:56:xxx after 10 laps. Your insight on 50% throttle through slow & medium turns surely will help me lowering my PB.
 
Not a fan of E-cars...
When I read earlier this morning that it's a hydrogen-powered car, I had just assumed it'd be more akin to ICE than an e-car. Basically, I thought there'd still be a multi-gear transmission. Took a quick glimpse at Tidgney's vid, and NOPE. 😆

I'm intrigued to try this TT out. Only e-car TT I've done so far is with the Ioniq, which wasn't exactly racey. I better put a banker time in the RUF TT soon so I can give this one a try.
