Just had a 5 lap run at Bahrain. Looking at the World Record, I'm still 7 seconds shy. I can see where I can make up 3-4 with some near perfect laps, but I just can't keep up with the world record ghost through parts and I'm dazzled as to how he's keeping it on the track.
Singapore is insanely challenging. Need to use a setup with less over-steer to get through all of the twists.
Post 3 Posted by ResLo 2010-09-25 05:46:53 UTC
Good idea. I like the track in so far as when you get it right its an awesome feeling.

I find the second from the right setup is the perfect balance between stability and speed for Singapore. The far right one is just too niggly. Haven't played around with fully custom setups yet.
Just did a top-50 time on Melbourne with the far-right setup.
Post 5 Posted by ResLo 2010-09-25 09:44:03 UTC
Getting better at Singapore.... really enjoying the track. Did a PB followed it up next lap only 0.2 slower.
Do you think it matters what car you choose for Time Trials? I've noticed in the Multiplayer mode you can choose to have cars as 2010 specs. Why on earth would anyone want to race anything but a Red Bull, McLaren or Ferrari then?? I wonder if the Time trial cars are 2010 spec. I mainly drive Lotus's (I like the livery) but I'll have to give Singapore a bash with the Red Bull to see if there is a difference.
Post 6 Posted by rec 2010-09-25 09:49:06 UTC
Pretty sure the cars in Time Trial are equal, but I'm not 100% sure. Let us know if you find out one way or the other.
Nice improvement on Singapore. I've set decent laps on many tracks now. Working my way through the list.
My favorite track to drive on so far is Melbourne.
Post 7 Posted by grandinferno 2010-09-25 16:45:01 UTC
I'm assuming we're using the same "rules" for the times as for the competition? ie. Traction control disabled, etc?
Post 8 Posted by rec 2010-09-25 22:56:13 UTC
I have been, yeah. No point racing different settings, or I'll be screwed come Monday Night Racing.
Post 9 Posted by ResLo 2010-09-26 00:51:35 UTC
Same here.
My time for Korea was in the top 50 (38) which surprised me greatly as I only did a half dozen or so laps. How does this ranking work exactly? There must be thousands of people setting times I cant be 38th quickest!
Post 10 Posted by rec 2010-09-26 01:16:45 UTC
Korea is the least played track, by miles and miles. Everyone is running with what they're familiar with at the moment.
PS. just blitzed your Spa time. :D

I grabbed Stoegi's ghost, made ahuge difference! Takes alot better lines than I do :) My time was good enough for 8th on the Leaderboard though, happy with that!
Post 16 Posted by ResLo 2010-09-26 07:20:18 UTC
Do you have to be friends to grab a ghost our can you download them.

Nah you can just grab them from the global leaderboard :)

They are all there and available.....including your own Reslo =)

Melbourne - 1:23.315

Laps leader board is heating up. :D
Post 23 Posted by Formula1 2010-09-28 08:10:08 UTC
Thought I'd smash out a lap for each track.
Hockenheim - 1:19.011
Post 24 Posted by rec 2010-09-28 08:51:35 UTC
Corco now in the mix too, with a good Melbourne lap.
Post 25 Posted by ResLo 2010-09-28 11:04:24 UTC
Got the first half of Melbourne nailed... just need to get the 2nd half spot on.
Post 26 Posted by Formula1 2010-09-28 17:52:46 UTC
God dammit I need a pc, a race on melbourne with you guys would be epic fun!
Post 27 Posted by ResLo 2010-09-29 03:12:29 UTC
Then get one!! I spent a lot of time on Melbourne yesterday. I can beat rec's ghost up to the chicane on the back straight, from there is where I obviously need to prac more.
I swore I got a 1.25.something before dinner last night and then when I came back I noticed that my ghost data did not save yet I can load anyone else's. So I changed my time back to the 1.26.149... hope this ghost saved (didn't check last night).
Anyone else finding your times/ghosts not saving?
Post 28 Posted by rec 2010-09-29 04:22:15 UTC
No issues so far. You sure it wasn't an invalid lap? I've had a few of those without noticing, only to have my nice time disregarded.
Post 29 Posted by ResLo 2010-09-29 09:37:42 UTC
Nope it wasn't as I got to drive around lap after lap with it noted on the RHS as the best time. It wouldn't register if it was invalid.
Post 30 Posted by rec 2010-09-29 09:40:42 UTC
Just knocked 1 second off my Melbourne time and 2 seconds off of my Bahrain time.
Post 31 Posted by grandinferno 2010-09-30 02:03:37 UTC
Okies. I've been racing this whole time with an auto car. I will spend the coming days using manual. I know can easily knock some serious time off my laps... so watch out kents!
:P
Post 32 Posted by rec 2010-09-30 02:38:08 UTC
And stop using the Torro Rosso. :P

I realise now that I AM using the red bull car. I selected the Torro Rosso in career mode, which I've never played.
Post 34 Posted by grandinferno 2010-09-30 07:07:36 UTC
Cut over a second off Melbourne time. Still reckon I can get under 1:25 if I can just pull out a clean run.
Post 35 Posted by Formula1 2010-09-30 07:12:41 UTC
Manual will make you so much quicker.
Post 36 Posted by rec 2010-09-30 07:55:53 UTC
Will post up my new Melbourne setup tonight Nick. It took me from 1:25 to 1:23!
Post 37 Posted by rec 2010-10-02 03:37:41 UTC
Finally pipped Formula1's Melbourne time. Using the Bahrain setup I posted.
Post 38 Posted by NisMoSpo 2010-10-03 09:11:44 UTC
Tried Rec's set up today ... and started to learn Melbourne,
No world beating times here.

Cool seeing the variation in who comes out on top in various tracks. Should make for a close racing season when you officially begin.
Going to post races? I take it you can record replays. Anyone willing to FRAPS the replays and do a commentary on the races?
Post 43 Posted by Ahmad 2010-10-03 13:59:02 UTC
The bad thing about TT is that when you actually enter a race with tyre and fuel sim on, you have to change your braking points and throttle control completely.
Post 44 Posted by rec 2010-10-03 15:00:34 UTC
Times updated. Ahmad is a freak. :D
Post 45 Posted by grandinferno 2010-10-03 15:07:26 UTC
I'm not playing anymore. *crosses arms and turns up bottom lip*

You should see Schmeval's times :D

Haven't even seen Schmeval playing at all yet - he always seems to be playing MW2 or CS or something. :P

Dude if its twisty then you need more oversteer so that car is more responsive in the front end,, or else its gonna be tough turning your car,
