Nice lap! You're the quickest I think you can assign buttons on the d-pad to adjust brake balance. Though I'm not sure I will check for you. 👍

EDIT: you can assign the RA menu to the r3 button on your remote.

If only I would've known that last week. Hahaha

 

[LMP787B]

After about 10 laps I am down to mid 1:28

 

[Rotorist]

To be sure I get it. We drive the car from the arcade selection?

If so, 1.28.088 is my time in first lap. And having difficulties to get lower...
But if we have the ability to get the one from our garage and tune its diffs and suspension it's another matter. Just in case I did it in 1.26.692 with the tuned one (stock engine has 472PS from 429PS of the arcade one)

Driver: Rotorist/Rotorist
Time: 1:28.088
Transmission: Manual
Controller: 6axis
ABS: 1

DS3
AUTO
4/2 ON

Another 0.5 to come at least I think.

 

[LMP787B]

Jeez how are you guys going so quick?!?

 

[SomethingGR]

Driver: SomethingGR/ELLHNAS
Time: 1:27.269
Transmission: Manual
Controller: DS3
ABS: 1

First results in, definetely room for improvement since i was so close to cut some time off, but i missed the braking point just before the corkscrew.

 

[phil_75]

Hope nobody uses the the pit exit cheat/shortcut!

The back end likes to step out a lot, probably because its a drift car, so set Brakes in favour of the front!

 

[LMP787B]

My aim is to go under 1:27.5 but I doubt I will at this rate!

 

[phil_75]

Not a big fan of this weeks trial, don't like Laguna seca, it just doesn't flow for me and the car is, I don't know, just missing something.

Its hard to see where I can make more time, not like the others where you always thought "I can take that corner a little better/faster/slower/neater etc"

Thats sad to hear, would you like to have some involvement in next weeks track and car choice?

Don't get me wrong, I still love it, just not as much as other weeks, nobody is gonna like every car and track combo!

Ignore me, I'm just moaning!

Haha, thats just you excuse

After the F1 on the BBC I'll be giving this a shot.

 

[FrontalSystem]

Yeah I have to agree, Laguna is without a doubt, my least favourite circuit by a large distance, I'll be sitting this one out for a few days and I might have a crack later in the week, cheers.

Oh dear, nobody seems to be liking this track I can change it if you like seeing as we aren't far in.

 

[FrontalSystem]

Changing it would be an amazing idea

Hmm okay, is it possible to change the thread title? Any track suggestions then? Nurburgring gp circuit?

 

[FrontalSystem]

Nurburgring Nordschleife is my suggestion.
