Time Trial Discussion

[Gomario JSP]

Morning folks,

had a short time to spare on a tt this morning, trial mountain was a bit mehh for me so i'm leaving that one as "gold and run" 😂
so back to the dessert then, wich is....aside from the conanigans quite a fun drive on the pad.

Managed to have a slightly better lap so got into the .6xx ...
No idea of any OPT''s due to restarting each lap for the start shenanigans.....and because i'm gentle with my little cone .... she's still standing! 😁😂
I know if i can cut that there is easy time but my goal here....... Top 100 with my little cone! 😂

I'll prob have to go again cause this isn't enough i think 😂

Alfa Gr.4 at Trial Mountain.
Was stuck at 2:02.6xx for some time now. Wanted something better so gave it another go. Came down to 2:02.333
Optimal this stint was .320 so close enough lol...
Had an optimal in another stint of 02.0xx so I really thought I could get that 2:01 but it remained elusive...

Silvia at Willow...
Had a decent time, but saw the percentage drop to +2,58% or something like that.
So I thought, give it another go just to be sure since I will be unable to play the coming week...
After a 15 lap stint with 13 cancelled laps, and no improvements I gave up.
My time will stay and hopefully be safe for gold.

holl01 as always is leading the pack. Apart from his skill, I believe his racing setup (physical & not just game settings) would be done well as that's crucial to get a good feel to enjoy the TTs week after week.

For a moment I got too excited thinking it's the 20km circuit again but then I saw it was GP format. Thank goodness for RM tyres which are my favorite variant of tyres in the game.

What do you mean by setup ?

The results for TT155 at Trial Mountain Circuit in the Alfa Romeo 4C Gr.4 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 TT156 at Willow Springs International Raceway: Streets of Willow Springs in the Nissan Silvia Q's (S13) '88.

Spoiler: GTP Scoreboard

In-game replay didn’t save for some reason, so I’m posting it here instead. Pretty happy with the lap, though I lost about 0.1s in the last two sectors.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

CSA on strong, weak ABS 👍

 

[Tidgney]

Here's the latest guide for those interested. Short shifting is the name of the game while the suspension setup is a tad frustrating with some of the bumps!

 

[Uday9479]

What do you mean by setup ?

Not the game/controller setup but the entire racing setup which would include the steering wheel, race seat etc. as if like a mini simulator.

 

[KK78]

Good afternoon racers. Hope all is well

I've been distracted with other games of the shooty shooty variety recently, and to be honest, the last few TTs have been a bit underwhelming for me, or in the case of the Z-Tune, really annoying. Managed Gold in all but didn't have much desire to grind out better times. The new Nurb one looks cool, and I've yet to give the Silvia a go. Although I learnt it has some exploits, and is on Willow Springs, so I'll try for Gold and no more.

 

[Uday9479]

Drove a few laps in A/T just to get the feel of the car. It's a good TT with the biggest fun factor of the car on RM tyres. Set a modest time of 2:06:918 which is a Silver time but about 5 seconds off the fastest time. I set this time before @Tidgney had posted his (awesome)lap guide as always to help with brake & gear references.

I think you have me mistaken for a pro driver. My setup is T598 clamped to a $80 Office desk, and a swivel chair

I'm always thinking how does it work with a swivel chair. Doesn't it move right and left around as soon as you get on the pedals?

First test in Nurburgring GP :
Get gold at 2'04'845
I'll have to ride more in the next few days to understand this RE Amemiya a little. But it's still a very pleasant combo.

It’s summer holiday season now so hopefully this is a one and done!

Pics! Or it didn't happen.

Yes, yes, we want to see... because then... 🤔🤔

I feel for all those who spent €2,000 on a DDpro and a “super Sim racing chassis”...😜 😂😂😂

On the early days of Rfactor for PC (like 20 years ago) I used to play with a Logitech MOMO clamped on a desk with a swivel chair.
The chair displacement was easily solved with a shaggy rug.

Obviously, that kind of "setup" wouldnt work with the load cell options that we have nowadays

i don't mean the rolling around but the turning in circles. i can't believe that you don't feel this forces and have to work against them.

Edit: gonna put this behind a spoiler so the gif isn’t annoying

exactly, that can't work as soon as i go on the brakes (turns left) or throttle (turns right around).

Sorry, now I get what you mean.
I used to lift up the chair to its maximum height and the armrest against the desk limited that movement.

There was some movement but it was beareable.

Calster's insane time is also up on YouTube!

Know exactly what you mean, I have 2 bricks between my wall and my wheel stand pro so my load cell doesn’t move the whole rig forwards 🤣

 

[A_Higher_Place]

CSA strong, abs weak, ASM on. The kerbs are frustrating here. I have quiet figured out how to hit the S flat out yet. Still a bunch of time for leaders to find as I can gain in some areas.


Oh and just like that I'm over a second behind again before evening hitting 'post.'

 

[Homestead]

Gold at willow as well but far less fun

I'm on a swively chair too but with a G29 and the floppy pedals cause little to no rotation. Paired with a low FFB setting, there isn't much movement at all.
