Well done @Jeje6410 !
My golden goal is over, I hope.

This TT, easy at first sight, is going mad.

The right hander before the final kink and right hander combo. There's a cone on the dirt that can be shwept away so some extra corner cutting can happen.

I tried that but it felt too much like work and I am not convinced it's worth it for my skill level. I watched P. Takács's new record replay (1.24.884) and it appears he did that without moving the cone.

Gr4 tt is hopefully secured

Kudos to people nailing the first corners full steam, even though a may ask my foot to do it (and red it), it refuses the requests.

Willow TT is incredibly hard for me. Im still in bronze territory. Will focus on it over the next days

A little less than you... but I'm going to go back because I think I can improve even more...🤔🤪

I'm no longer gold at Willows because of Metalgear and his alien friends, but there too, I think I can do it... for the 52nd medal...

Morning guys,

Back after 3 weeks of French beaches baguettes and croissants!

I missed the GTR TT but was looking forward to trial Mountain, but after my first session i am kind of dissapointed with it 🤣, doesn't feel right for me on the pad, feels heavy,
Just feels off and no idea how or what to change ...

Eventually ran a 2:01.4 with a bad S1 and a bad last sector..

Maby ill throw in another session but I doubt this will be a gronder for me.



Ps: lots of massages in those 3 weeks 😱😱, not going to congratulate everyone separate 🤣 so....

Well done folks! 😁👌🤣
 
Was having trouble getting gold at Trial Mountain. I use Automatic. Then I changed to ABS weak (no other assists). I don't think I had ever used anything but ABS default before. It seemed to make a big difference.

Perhaps it was because there are so many braking zones that require partial braking or just "dabbing". On "weak" the partial braking felt smoother and did not take off as much speed/momentum as default ABS.

It seemed to make the biggest difference braking into the 1st tunnel, braking before the 2nd short tunnel, and on the sweeping left turn at the top of the hill after the long tunnel stretch. Prior to the change I was scrubbing off too much speed in all three spots.
 
Decent quick 150 km effort at Trial Mountain. Always quite enjoyed Trial Mountain but Gr.4 makes anything a boring chore. They have so incredibly much grip, practically glued to the road and then combine that with 60 bhp, what do you get? Utter pain. :lol: I was under some time pressure doing this as I have a plane to catch (going to visit Prague) and fortunately a lap happened pretty quickly. Obviously will fall out of that top 100 but honestly I wouldn't revisit it even if I had the time.

So in the Willow TT could you not theoretically do a bunch of laps just knocking the cones around until they were entirely out of the way and then basically have a nice clear runup to the S/F line?
 
I have seen the current WR replay and i have a trouble. At the end of the lap, near 1:11, Takacs hits a cone without penalty. Is it a bug or a trick, what do you think about that?
The Cone is flying on the right

I wonder if this is an instance where he knocked the cone away a lap prior and the loaded replay shows it there anyways?
 
I thought I would give the Silvia a try
Love the way it handles!, and I love the banked corners where you can realy throw her in and power ( ok...not much hp but ok to have a lot of fun with 🤣 ) out quite early...

I hate the fact that you have to do conanigans to have a good start but ok.... it is what it is.... but it's realy annoying me following guys that apparently have different tracklimits than I do... that " well known cone" is just a stupid thing, removing cones to have wider tracklimits ..... well everybody their own, I'll just keep restaring and try my best to work around the basterd 🤣

Not to shaby for a first run

I always try to give your posts a thumbs up and then you start ranting about the little guys (me) Gr.4s. Let us plebs feel "in control " from time to time too! ;)

edit: Saw your video. You used curbs i didn't even notice where there. :bowdown:
