No idea, the gold time dropped ALOT more than I thought it would. I was able to hit a 1:54.607 which should hold for gold.

Sorry, but this sounds petty.

Why is it relevant at the fastest levels (or any level, for that matter) what "allowable" assists a person used when looking at their time? Your 5th, which is great. Why try and taint the times of those above you.

There there is no other reason to bring up the assists other than to imply that at a "pure" level, their time is not as legit as yours.

My post was purely informative in nature. Really didn't mean it any other way to be honest, I just revealed what the guys Infront of me were doing.

1'52.422 after 20 miles of using ASM (weak ABS no CSA) lol.

First run at this this morning. Got a very badly mangled finger earlier in the week (luckily middle and not index which I use to accelerate on R2) which is bandaged up so makes it painful to use a controller which affected me quite a bit.

This one is REALLY blooming difficult. For context, this was on lap 10, I invalidated all of the first 9 thanks to understeer and bollards!

Might try this on the wheel and see how that goes during the week.

New test in Spa-Francorchamps :

After yesterday's first test, I managed to get gold by a hair's breadth with the controller (DS5) but when I came back this morning my medal had changed color 😪😪
Unfortunately I noticed a malfunction in my DS5 where some keys no longer work). A new order was required. I had seen @Tidgney 's guide which said it would be easier behind the wheel. So I tried. I was able to lower my time to 1'55'194. It's not gold yet (well not that far) but I'm not losing hope.💪💪

 

[Metalgear9493]

Happy to have made huge progress up the leaderboard but haven't reached my ideal time yet, which is somewhere in the .9s. Very fun actually with ASM as you don't have to worry about crippling understeer exiting corners. And it's most effective at that fast left complex where you can safely carry 5mph more than non ASM.

If you’ve got a wheel, do this one on the wheel.

All well and good trying, my braking (and accelerating) is terrible. Everything else is alright though 😂😂

Ahhhh crap someone lowered spa! Its an enjoyable tt except for the stupid bollards, I cannot seem to judge how close I am. Now I gotta find what, a high 44?

I said I wasn’t as optimistic as Tidge on this.

A .54 should be fine now as it’s getting marginal there won’t be tenths left in a lot of places now.

 

[PowerJunkie]

I was super stoked last night! One of my goals was achieved... I made it into the top 100 of a online time trial. Spa. 92nd with a 01:53.354 , but only for a short while it seems, now around 112th. Still stoked though, I have more time on the track left, just gotta collect it. Maybe I can end in the top 100.

My recent approach of doing just a session per TT to get gold continues. So I was very surprised when today's session at Spa, albeit it was more miles in one session than I've done in a while, had this outcome.

Thats not to bad for a single try! 🤣 Nice!
I found this one quite hard, maby it's the pad...maby it's just me...
But tomorrow is preparing and packing the car day for the vacation journey ( 1260km trip ) so no TT's for me 😁🤣

Have fun with the next one!

You will be careful Jomar they have forecast big storms on your route especially after Lyon

Thanks buddy, I'll DM you for the further conversation 😁🙏🙏

Fair enough. I apologize for being quick to judge..Sorry

 

[ZevZoq]

Sheesh, I don't understand how the Fuji event is ranked as such an "easy" one. What is it, about 140th on the difficulty ranking? I'm struggling. Put in a bunch of laps today and have managed to get down to 3.35% but that last half second feels like it might as well be a minute.

 

[ZEE]

After chugging at Spa, still a good track by any means, and this understeery Hyundai VGT gets me, I finally got my rhythm and managed to do this time which felt very tricky to acheive with a controller. Even @Tidgney mentioned it was hard to get but goodtimes, SILver so far, fighting to get GOLD.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Now that's a bit more like it. I really was missing a bunch of apexes on Saturday.

 

[eggmann]

Slightly faster at Spa.

 

[Parenji]

It's funny when you think you are at your absolute limit and then you go you know what? let me watch the top replay one last time.. and YOU SEE that little detail, you try again and immediately drop another 2 tenths.

You’re always strong in the VGTs!

 

[Jeje6410]

New test in Spa-Francorchamps :
After losing my gold medal yesterday, I decided to return to Spa after a recovery nap. And I was right to do so, as I was able to reclaim my gold medal and set a time of 1'54'728.

 

[half_sourly]

You’re always strong in the VGTs!

Especially if they are one-gear electric things. Ironic, as I have a deep absence of love for them!

 

[Jeje6410]

Last test for today in Spa-Francorchamps :
I think I've gone all the way with this VGT. Improvement in my time at 1'54'254

 

[crome]

Argh, I just wasted 45 minutes of my life because I thought I had to go below 1:54 to secure a gold at Spa when in fact 1:55 was the target time 🙈

Still, this sits firmly in the bottom left quadrant of the fun / results matrix. I have no intention of returning.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Nice top 100 with the Ferrari 😁

And a good lap with the RUF (i hate sector 3 at Fuji)

 

[TRCJohn]

I’ve managed a 1.55.755 after an hour but the last corner is tough on pad and has ruined probably low 1.55,s but I’m going to try again tomorrow, didn’t take a photo as I thought it wasn’t good enough lol.

 

[NevilleNobody]

Alright the hoover is down to 54.7, that will be enough surely?

I mean it’s not technically one gear….just all the gears on a cone type thing….you’re just a control freak 😝
