Time Trial Discussion

Don't wanna say this is my final time, but contemplating re-visiting this track for another session knowing how much of a giant obstacle the final corner is, leads me to believe I won't return🤣.

Weak ABS no CSA.

 

[Ed_Night]

It almost feels like a crime not to yeet the car around the corners. But the slower you make it look the faster you'll be. 🥲😂

...and a bit faster.

first session on Deep Forest went better than i thought not so keen on right hand steering 🫢

This is worth watching, it's qualifying for the 1000 at Bathurst. The cars look and sound amazing tbh, even if a little generic. The drivers are pushing so hard, some looked like they were going to lose it, really worth watching. You will notice the two fastest laps were the cleanest and the most spectacular lap (Feeney) was a touch slower than it looked. Keep it neat and tidy. Remember, out TT is a virtual 400hp, these cars are at 650hp so a different kettle of fish.

How good is a natural small block V8, fantastic noise.

is this safe gold?

i don't feel like hot lapping on ds4 much and also I lost around second on that last corner

'morning folks - had a couple of runs over the last two nights in the Mustang and then in the MX5. Bathurst is a track I love but I've always had a bit of a problem with it, but Gr4 cars are a nice fit and this was more approachable by some margin than when we ran the Maserati here. MX5 is fun but moves around a lot - haven't tried CSA yet.

I’m enjoying this TT. Had a successful first day with the Mazda but the final sector is killing me! If I get a good launch down the back straightaway I am easily up a couple tenths; I’ll try more today. This is on ABS Weak, CSA Strong and TCS 0.

You should be good.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

With thanks to the CSA Gods... 0.352 gain over my lap last night. Think I might be done with this.

Didn't drive for weeks, today I returned for my birthday gift.
And drove set of laps at Bathurst. After some time, I managed to get safe silver.

Cocpit view, race only HUD, ABS only, manual, Dualsense:

Meanwhile at the 1000 at Bathurst.... engine fails sooooo..... beer. Most australian thing you'll ever see.

 

[ZEE]

Sooo I tried the new Mazda MX-5 Spirit TT and did pretty well so far, I think I can etch it into gold status real soon!

 

[Metalgear9493]

Thank god that's over . I was chasing P4 for 2 hours straight, finally got it with a decent run out of the last corner on a 295 split 2 (about 10 thousandths off my PB there).

CSA back on, and it's goodbye to this time trial for good, just don't have the skill at Deep Forest to reach the top times.

 

[Wilsonson]

to reach the top times.

While being .121 seconds away. 😂 Aliens don't think in tenths like us mere mortals. They think in thousands.

Amazing and thorough progress ZEE, keep grinding laps and you'll reach your goal on earning the gold medal. Good luck this week, and happy Columbus day!

 

[Gomario JSP]

I was kind of surprised looking at the global board this morning, i though my .641 at Deep forrest ( was placed 49 at the time ) would definately stick for a top 100...., this morning it was already place 75 ?!!


I though i had a cracker lap!, turns out everybody does

I am not planning to go back, but maby i'll give it another shot if i fall out of the top 100

THanks matey, I appreciate you!!!

 

[Chris30]

THanks matey, I appreciate you!!!

You're welcome mate, keep going and practicing for better lap times.

ABS and other electronic aids Off .

 

[half_sourly]

ABS and the other assistants off

Out of curiosity, do you leave ABS off because you feel it is quicker for you, or just as a challenge? I've tried it off, but it has always felt slower to me.

Driving with ABS on is not fun for me, so I turn it off.

Goog improvement, medium on 10 laps inside the 1:49s and close to previous best. Regained a lot of spots but not sure I'll be able to beat my best spot ever... Need to find ad least 2 tenths to get there. Off course getting in the 48s would be great.

@ZevZoq : your turn to beat my time now 😁

Finally after many many laps I managed this at Bathurst. Not easy at all for me so I hope it holds!
