Dirt 3 Time Trial

Confused · 18 Dec 2011 at 16:38

My final entry.

There's a couple of corners I know I can improve, and sometimes do, but stringing together everything just right in one sitting is proving fun!

Either way, by moving to the wheel/pedals from the pad, I've knocked 10 seconds off my time after only about 5 hours driving, so I'm very happy!

I know I'm not in the league but I've only just seen this thread and have found it good fun!

Confused · 18 Dec 2011 at 17:12

Blimey, that's a good time!

That is a very good time, did you do that with standard car settings? no short gear ratios or anything?
If so, very well done.

And you too "Confused" for pipping me right at the end.

I did fiddle with the ratios but it just didn't give me a good top speed in the end so I left it default.

Settings were:
Manual
ABS only
Logitech g27

I wonder whether the Stability Control has much bearing on things? I've set mine with ABS & Stability Control on, as per the first post.

I'm glad I've just improved my time as much as I have, I honestly thought it would have been impossible yesterday morning before I got the wheel out!

Sooo... who gets to choose the next one? Is it Freeman?

Good to see some interest in this again, just remember to check the rules in the OP about car settings and assists etc.

Freeman should pick the next "stage" imo.

Timbo_La · 26 Dec 2011 at 13:39

Had a few runs at the current rally choice, off the pace. will see what the next chioce will be and then join that time trial.

Guys apologies for not updating the first post!

Wheel is out and ready... First person to post a new track and setup/car will be the new choice.

Might have to install this again and give it a go.

That gamertag is the world record, not mine

Don't worry about adding me mate, I don't have enough time to enter at the moment.

Cheers.

Reaper 392 · 28 Dec 2011 at 15:05

i was all ready to give this a go, but the car is DLC

rhysduck · 28 Dec 2011 at 15:06

Well spotted Reaper.
If that's the case then, we need to change the car guys. We have to use stock cars as not everyone (Reaper and Myself included) have the DLC.

Cheers

Deluxe · 28 Dec 2011 at 17:00

The Sierra is DLC but is part of the free car pack.

rhysduck, just checking that my DQ is beacuase of a late entry.
I want to make sure I've got everything right before I start this round.
