Project Cars 2 Time Trial Challenge January 18

[JB21]

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 (<3 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.

Someone pick a car and track?

Long Beach - Formula X?

 

[JB21]

I vote for Long beach but not sure on Formula X, I struggle with GT3's, lol. Done it in the Caterham recently and that was fun.

 

[Snakey]

Formula X would be a right load round Long beach lol The RX and RX Lites are great fun for enclosed tracks like this though.

Good time! Just had a couple laps there and im at 1:29.896, things just sliding everywhere lol.

 

[Rubicon_]

[JB21]

So much fun though, I'll have another go tomorrow and get a video up. Your sideways more than going straight, lol.

Had a quick go the other day with a similar time myself.

Takes some getting used to that car!

Did a 1:24:204, but was in the wrong gear at one point and fucked up the hairpin. Got bored of sticking to the walls at that point so I'm sure someone else will stick in a 1:23 or lower. Wheel, no aids, stock 'stable' setup.

How do you select best times by car? I can old see them by class...

 

[McGherkin]

Top right, the little funnel symbol. Where it says 'Showing... VEHICLE SELECT'

Just tab over to it and hit X?

 

[JamesBryan]

Can you choose the setup i.e. stable or loose on time trial?

I’m on PC, so no idea.

Yeah, after the loading screen.

The way the physics works with touching a wall does my head in, the only bad thing i find about the game.

Like the verges in Dirt Rally, the walls appear to be sponsored by Bostik.

I really nees to get a wheel before i get stuck into this! G29 the best at sensible money?

I'd say the G29 is the best for under £200 yeah, look at the wheel stand pro V2 as well mate as they go really well together and it can be folded with the wheel and pedals in situ to reduce space when storing.

Cant choose time by car or even class on PS4, what a load of sh*t!

Yeah i had a look at that too.

Still, you're the fastest in the Caterham 620R on the PS4 board.

Haha nice, that was only testing the car/track combo out as well. Will give it a go again later with a few tweaks.

Keep an eye out, especially Amazon and PC World. It dropped to £130 the other day when I got mine.

This is my setup folded up for the old G25. Easily slides into the storage cupboard under the stairs that everyone has. Folds out like a set of small step ladders, has a power-supply to plug in and the USB lead to the PC and that's it. Literally up and running in under a minute.

 

[Darren S]

Go

Going to try that tomorrow.

 

[Darren S]

I'm waaaay off at the minute - 10 seconds of @McGherkin 's time. I know instantly what my issue is though - to do with braking. I'm either way too late, or far too early - especially at the end of the main straight and with that first left-hander.

Reckon sub 1.30s would be achievable for me, but after that, anything would be luck! :smile:

 

[McGherkin]

Left foot braking is really important on this, as is using the stable setup :up:

Do you have an option on loose and stable without manually tweaking on PC?

Cannot get past a 1:24.177 no matter what I do tune wise.

 

[Rubicon_]

Im still mid 1:25’s today, definately feel theres a bit to shave off still though. Im loosing time of the last couple of corners.

 

[Darren S]

Forgot to add, specs:-

• Standard Caterham setup
• PC
• Logitech G25
• All assists turned off

I don't want to tell you, you'll beat me

 

[Darren S]

Might try that!

I set the FF to ‘Immersive’ as well - it felt a little too much with the feedback. The Honda CTR I tried on the Ring with it set to Informative felt more relaxed.

Loved the feel (or lack of) very briefly when you’re accelerating hard with a FWD car and go to change gear. Very subtle, but it’s impressive!

 

[Tomotek]

Finally got chance to have a blast this evening, stuck the stable setup on.. loose was an absolute handful!.. couple of hours later and I managed a 1:22.949

Probably could of found a couple more tenths in the last couple of corners but It was exhausting getting that time so called it a night, started to go slower

Xbox/Thrustmaster Wheel/std setup/ no aids

 

[McGherkin]

Good work, well done :up:​

 

[Tomotek]

Good work, well done :up:​

Cheers!..

I don’t know who decided to put the “loose” setups as a default.. I’ve been doing the career mode and fighting all the cars, and doing custom setups, not realising there was even other base setups available like “stable”
