ClioSport.net Project Cars Time Trial Challenge - January

[Goodj]

Well done to @JB21 who set the fastest time in December.

For this month he has chosen Cadwell Park, GP in the Mercedes Benz DTM.

Guidelines:
1. At the start of each month a track and car are chosen by the driver with the fastest time from the previous month. The track and car need to be chosen ASAP after the start of the month.
2. Keep to short tracks so that it doesn't take too long to try and set a good time. Recommended maximum is 3 miles (may be tweaked later)
3. I suggest keeping the cars restricted to ones without aero, but we can see how it goes.
4. Times must be set in time trial mode, not free practice or any other mode.
5. Entries should include what platform, controller (wheel or pad) and options were used - i.e. ABS, traction control and stability control.
6. Entries to be backed up by leaderboard link, screenshot or video.

Get lapping and good luck!

Yep, I've sussed that.
Just cant changfe the OP, got an Admin on side to help though, all will be fixed

 

[JB21]

C coupe AMG DTM is what I meant? Can't be DLC as I only have the standard game?

 

[McGherkin]

oh the car is dlc so i'm out for this one!

GOTY edition has all the DLC. It's worth it.

 

[Goodj]

Here's your choice:
The 80's DTM one that everyone can have
The 'modern' DTM that is DLC / GOTY edition only

 

[JamesBryan]

Your leaderboard time was the newer DTM Coupe @JB21 i'm sure.

Indeed, my game is non goty addition. So the C coupe is DLC, how strange.

Do the old DTM then...

get involved fella.
Do some laps, get screenshots or video as proof. Upload and post your time in here

 

[JamesBryan]

1:37.7 after a quick go.

Seems slow but feels fast.

 

[JB21]

OK so I've just set a time of 130:311 for starters, not my official. PS4, controller, ABS, manual, standard tune...

 

[James H]

Put in a 1:34:091, now using my logitech g27 for Xbox one. No assists etc as usual. @JB21 you're way too quick mate!

 

[Nitro182]

So we can have traction control and abs turned on then ?

certainly.
But if there's a tie for the winner, the person with the hardest setup wins.

 

[JB21]

Fastest time on this car/track combo I can find is on PC which is a 1:28.772. PS4 fastest is a 1:29, what's the quickest on XBOX?

 

[imprezaworks]

I'm going to fail

 

[Silent_Scone]

That PS4 footage looks really wooden. Like it's on rails

 

[Goodj]

It's called "car control" IIRC

 

[imprezaworks]

Clio?

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol, might just be because I'm used to looking at it at 144 fps. *sips tea*

Bionic eyes?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Hey, fluidity is everything.

 

[172_Tom]

Feck, this one is going to be hard!

1:33.875 at the moment, 13th on the leaderboards. Fastest leaderboard time is 5 seconds ahead of me :astonished:

 

[JB21]

Gonna smash this later, defo got a couple of seconds in me to get a 1:28 :stig:

 

[-Jamie-]

So it's the 190?

 

[Goodj]

So it's the 190?

:up:

 

[JamesBryan]

So it's the 190?

Yeah the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo2 DTM

 

[James H]

I'm finding gooseneck really hard. I either have to crawl through, or go quick and lose control. What's the technique?

A balanced throttle and using the kerb on the right on entry to set you up for the left hand kerb works pretty well.

 

[Goodj]

There's a lot of valid run-off on the gooseneck too (I think) for keeping your toe down.

I struggle on this as well.

You can use a lot of the left and exit yes with the fake grass matting stuff.

 

[JB21]

A really scruffy 1:29.693 below, still not fettled with the tune yet either.

 

[JamesBryan]

f***s sake 😂

 

[Randles]

1:30.230. Xbox One, pad. ABS on, stability on, traction off, manual.
Never tuned a car in my life on this game - so all I did was up rear downforce by a notch, and lower the FDR down by a notch.

Don't we need photos to prove ?
