Going to have to join in and have a go later

Guys, will these time trials go on beyond abu dhabi after the F1 championship is over or are you planning to end it there?

JimAroo · 31 Oct 2010 at 20:09

I'd also like to see some TT's in the wet.

I hope it keeps going, I would suggest who ever wins abu dhabi picks the next track, or we could work bacwards from suzuka since thats where we started.

Yeah, that would be cool. I only bought the game for the forum TT's. Want my money's worth and some sort of podium place in a few weeks after enough practise

Maybe during the off season, we could have a championship with tracks in the wet. Maybe get a google spreadsheet of the fastest times, then award points - same as in the real championship, so we can see whos best on the forum.

The winner Abu Dhabi TT will select the car/track/weather that we will be using for a week.

I think it will be a lot more interesting if one car is used instead of having it all cars are used.

How do I access the car set up options for time trial? I've honestly never seen them.

In the garage, click on the monitor, go to the far right icon (the gear) and take it from there

I would be very happy with this, everybody uses the Mclaren because it's the fastest by miles, would be very good to TT the slower cars.

TheGamingGeneral · 31 Oct 2010 at 21:50

I think weekly TT is probably beter anyway, two weeks of pounding brasil will do wonders for our leaderboard epeen but not much for excitement. Also would prefer having a set car since the mclaren is getting a bit boring now.

sjcf1 · 31 Oct 2010 at 21:59

Never realised how much faster the McLaren was. Did a 1.07.674 in it, where my best in carreer with lotus was 1.11.9

Thats enough from me.

The patch shouldn't make any difference to laptime, should it?

Fantastic lap by the way Mr.F.

Mr.Fantastic · 4 Nov 2010 at 15:29

Not really but it thought the patch screwed up the late braking for me but it was just in my head, once i got around it my laptimes started to drop again.

Just like the days of Need for Speed Shift. We did something similar. Winner picked track and car/setup. Everyone raced with said setups to see who was fastest. So yeah a big THUMBS UP from me

AGD · 4 Nov 2010 at 15:35

Truly awesome lap Mr F!

Question about braking: does the way you change down the gears affect the braking distance you require? i.e. should I be changing down the moment I slam on the gears and change down evenly, or should I wait a bit and then change down quickly? Also I've seen some people in videos changing up the moment the rev lights (on the steering wheel) hit the right rather than waiting for them to blink, is it better to change earlier like this?

Thanks.

Oh and here's my rubbish time so you can see I need the help!

1. Time: 1:08.650
