Project Cars Weekly TIme Trail

[rex]

Sounds good to me. I've not done much racing so would be a change.

[thebraketester]

Sounds good!

[wjb]

Did a few laps this evening, think my 1M is actually a 120d replica!

Wez-li, ps4, pad - 2:07:694

[wjb]

Nudged it down a bit to just over 2:04..

[All that jazz]

I'm gonna have to get meself this . Tron and Born2BeSlow are looking a bit too cocky at the top of every race and need bringing down a peg or two . I reckon I can beat that time on the last video replay posted .

How painful is it playing it on a keyboard? Rather bizarrely I've always been able to set better times on other driving games using the keyboard rather than an expensive wheel once sensitivity is fine tuned.

Come along and have some fun jazz, the more the merrier. You'll be buying a wheel before you know it lol. There are a lot of adjustments you can make in game, but I have never played keyboard so I wouldn't be much help, but best of luck with that.

All anyone needs to do to knock me down a peg or two is pick a car with downforce...I just don't get it, especially the open wheelers for some reason.

Hopefully meet up online occasionally too

I will buy this tonight after my sleep and get to grips with it. Is that last stage 3 challenge and BMW car in the download from Steam or in DLC at more expense?

Looking at the lines in your vid I reckon I can knock a few seconds off your time.

I think I can match Rex's PS4 time but no more. Bit disappointed in the difference in PC and PS4 physics.

Had to change the steering settings, I think I had to do it to this car the last time. Messed up the last sector, clipped the tyres on the outside which slowed me up as I swerved back out so made it longer run to the line as well.

Lap - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqB1WDbH9d8
External so you see braking and lines. I used bonnet cam to drive it.

I think a low 54 is certainly there, maybe a high 53.

I'm on the board! Playing as 'rk'. Not bad after only 1 hour playing the game. You can see me on the leaderboard for the BMW1M coupe in game.

You have to select a ghost car with the + section underneath the car track combo on the time trial select screen.

I find them distracting, you can have anyone's posted on the leaderboard though.

I'm using Tron as my ghost car. I can pretty much keep up with him til midway point then he just leaves me. I think he's tweaked his car...

Do you all go flat out down that last sweeping right-hander before the last tight left as I find I bleed speed with it sliding.

1:58:336 for me now

[FourWheelDrift]

Yes, flat in 4th through that right.

[All that jazz]

I think the problem with the keyboard inputs when turning is it's all or nothing, whereas on a wheel you can have progress inputs. I'm gonna give it a go with the mouse to steer and see how that works out. Anyone know if a PS3 controller will work via the PC USB port as I have one in the cupboard?

Are you guys pretty much easing off and drifting into the corners rather than braking? I have Tron's ghost in my face and he only seems to brake for the really tight corners. I can keep up til the midway point but these sweeping corners through the tunnels see me bleed too much speed probably because the keyboard press thinks I'm trying to turn sharp.

ETA: OK, forget mouse! Doesn't matter what you do with the sensitivty settings, it's simply impossible to steer it using that!

Won't be long until you buy a wheel then lol. I think there is a way to get a PS3 controller working, Google is your best bet.

Impressive start, struggling to find time to get back on and have another go this week...
