Project Cars Weekly TIme Trail

[Cerberus90]

Bathhurst is just a stupid track, . First half is alright, and the last bit is okay, but those twisty bits up at the top are just plain stupid, the tracks not wide enough, the barriers are too close and the road isn't smooth. , can you tell I'm not a fan of Bathhurst,

Can't remember what my best lap time was, was terrible, , did about 10 laps and only got 1 or 2 valid as I'd either get contact or cut track warnings.


Tried doing Cadwell in the Escort for some fun, but the setup of that's been messed with and now the Escort drives like it's a FWD bus or something, understeers like mad and then it'll all of a sudden snap the back end out with no warning. Caterham classic is just as bad, I don't for a second believe they're that loose at the back end, , not unless they're on bald tyres.

[Tronneh]

Its certainly an exercise in controlled aggression!

[born2bslow]

I don't think I'm controlling mine very well. The kids have told me I have to start a swear box and put a pound in every time I lose it. It could prove to be very costly!

It's a twitchy little rascal isn't it. It's always trying to turn in too fast, I've done loads of laps around Bathurst in different games but it's the first time I found myself hitting inside walls. Might have to look at the steering settings, haven't had a problem with race cars before, only the road cars.

Had another try tonight and dont thing i can improve much from here, still not good enough in the last sector

[Derwins Revenge]

Evening chaps, typical, first time I might be top of the table and I'm going away for the week. So if by any stroke of luck I am still there Sunday, don't wait for me to choose a combo! Perhaps somebody who hasn't chosen before can have a go. I expect one of you guys to top my time anyway, but just wanted to pass the baton in case it does end up being my turn.
Cheers

[born2bslow]

I'm not going to improve I've done my shoulder in

4wd pick then?

[molineux1980]

2:12:632.

Gave myself ten laps and then damaged the aero, best lap I lost 0.7 to my previous best down Conrad straight. Whoops.

Ps. If you don't know how to see the Kart tracks, you have to load the kart up first, then the tracks appear on the listing.

First go

My issue is the first sector, the bumps and just trying to go too quick out of turn 1 and into the uphill right turn 4 just before the first split.

It's annoying, I used to love the caterham, bac mono and other track cars on kart tracks, it was great fun. Now they're limited to karts.

Reactions and speed required for this is too much for my old brain...9 crash laps for every clean 1

That was quiet week, not much love for the karts?

What's next?

Glad the karts were on my week away, don't get on with them at all. So, what's this weeks combo? I'm keen, got an extra day off tomorrow so hoping to get some more time on the wheel. Though I might go out for a real drive if weather is as nice as today

Don't think we have had one on Sakitto? chose the national over the international as while its longer it just feels a bit mickey mouse.
Should be a tricky one, but love the way the 190 revs!

I've blown my psu, new one on order hopefully get it Wednesday.

[born2bslow]

PSU arrived...all up and running but a bit late to setup my wheel. Maybe tomorrow

Historic tracks DLC announced me likey. None of your modern stop start 90 degree corners, wicked quick and flowing bends.

What's RL motor?

I got me a shiny lease spec Golf R in Tornado Red and I still can't believe that a £30k Golf doesn't come with Nav. I was going to have a blast around Silverstone at the last SS but my son had an entrance exam to sit on that Sunday, and I had my brothers kids because both him and his missus were working all weekend. I even had my black/red insulation tape all ready
