ClioSport.net Project Cars Time Trial Challenge - March

[James H]

Well done to @Pearcy who set the fastest time last month.

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. If the same driver is fastest two months in a row then the track/car choice falls to the next fastest driver. The car & track should be chosen within a few days of the start of the month.
2. Keep to short tracks (<2.5 miles) so that it doesn't take too long to try and set a good time.
3. DLC cars not allowed.
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.

I pick...

Nurburgring Mullenbach - Ginetta g40 Junior. Nice and short. Just done a 50.233 with a controller to test it out

 

[Goodj]

Great pick!!!

 

[Scrooge]

49.902 so far. Xbox, pad and all options I think

Actually 49.367

Reckon I could get it down to 49 flat I'm s**t

 

[imprezaworks]

How the f**k? Lol

Do you change the setup of the car etc?

No mate, just standard set up on PS4 with a pad and full assists. This wont be nowhere near the fastest this month once other players get involved, I wouldn't be surprised if the winning time was in the 46's...

I genuinely don't know how that's possible lol

I managed a 48.6 or something yesterday on my first few laps so there definitely is time to lose on there.

I'm not sure about getting into the 46's though, the car seems to slow to lose that much... Maybe I'll be proved wrong though.

 

[JB21]

@Pearcy will get close, I'll end up with a mid 47s lap after a few tweaks here and there. Its that 1st right corner and the hairpin right towards the end of the lap where the time is made up.

 

[Goodj]

I got a 48.something, that'll probably be the best I've got

 

[Scrooge]

Must try harder lol

 

[mace¬]

48.something minutes?

 

[Goodj]

48.something minutes?

Video time will probably end up around that

 

[mace¬]

Video time will probably end up around that

7 minutes of the tow truck pulling you out the barrier?

 

[Goodj]

7 minutes of the tow truck pulling you out the barrier?

Full course yellow

Consistently getting low 47s but every time I go round that f**king corner next to the 'laps' tower it gives me a cut track-lap invalidated warning despite me not putting a f**king wheel off the f**king c**ty track.

 

[McGherkin]

Oh, and the next time it decides to go into a tail slide going into the last corner, it had better leave the steering connected so I can actually do something about it, instead of just continuing on at X angle, no matter what I do with the steering until fully backwards, otherwise I'm going to chuck this keyboard through the screen.

 

[Goodj]

It's been a long time.

I shouldn't have left you.

 

[McGherkin]

LOL needs turinis.

 

[Goodj]

LOL needs turinis.

I'd never before noticed how playing Project cars, using a baby blue Ginetta is, very much, like owning a Clio

 

[McGherkin]

I see you're enjoying that corner too @Goodj 😂

 

[Goodj]

Hang on, did you find a video I made?

 

[McGherkin]

I am all seeing, yes.

 

[Goodj]

Ah, very good.

Yeah, utter piss take.

I mean, what are they clipping me against? What!?

 

[McGherkin]

I wouldn't mind if it was rigidly enforcing track limits all the way around, but that one corner, wtf?!?

Especially when you end up having to take it wide, to avoid the penalty, then overrunning the exit.

 

[172_Tom]

My best time so far is 48.094. Should be able to get into the 47s!

Quick video of a 48.300 with some 'moments' before the start of the lap and after the end!

That entire complex is odd.
I like how I can make the hairpin just by lifting off with the rear axle locked after smashing the gearbox into 1st.
But then, sometimes, it'll just massively over-rotate and I'm pulling my nose out of the inside barrier.

Yep, that's exactly how I do it (both the shift locking and the doing it too early and spinning!)

 

[Goodj]

I have zero mechanical sympathy when there's no risk of garage bills.

 

[McGherkin]

You ask any racer, any real racer. Whether you wreck a box or a diff, winning's winning.
