Driveclub Time Trial mega thread

byeo · 23 Oct 2014 at 16:21

Rules are simple:

- You must drive the chosen car/track/time of day/weather & time lapse
- Unlimited laps (but you must start on the chosen time & time lapse value)
- Only post an image if you beat the previous time, it can get confusing if you post multipul picutres of random times
- Each trial is open for 48 hours from time of posting
- Whoever is leading at the end of the 48 hrs will pick the new car/track and time of day and will set the first time
- Please post a screenshot with the beaten time

Problem is, you can only use this car if your club is

A) level 15

B) you are connected to the servers (club cars only work online).

Pick another car. I would say Pagani Huayra, which is a single player unlock, but not sure what level I reached to get it unlocked.

Apologies, now fixed.

Bit scruffy.. Loads more in it.. 1.24.6 is my best but that was at 13.00hrs.. Not sure why the time of day affects times like it does but hey..

I did notice that the sun is low in the sky and right in your eye line when at the back end of the track. I guess that could affect lap times.

Not finished with this tonight!

Good to see others giving it a go, keep going

Track: Tamil Nadu #3
Time: 18:00
Time Lapse: x1

My time: 59.544

Good Luck..

1:01.928 is the best I can manage at the moment but i'll keep plugging away

byeo · 27 Oct 2014 at 18:57

I'm going for another go.

byeo · 28 Oct 2014 at 06:40

Please only post screenshots if you manage to beat the current target time, it means we can keep track of who is leading. By all means, post your times but leave the screenshots for when you do beat the target time, cheers. Current Target Time is: 59.285 and this challenge will end at 22:26 tonight. Keep shaving that time down lads.

I think the OP should make a section in the first post to put the current Trial details in. Easier to find the new trial.

Done

I've also added a section showing who won which time trial and will keep it updated as and when.

byeo · 28 Oct 2014 at 16:11

I just can't seem to crack this, it's doing my head in. I'm attacking the kerbs as that's where I seem to gain most of my time, but it's still not enough.

spookywillow said:

spookywillow, you had the fastest time @ 59.285, please pick a new car, track and time. When you set the time, can you just drive two laps and set to set the time, please ? I don't want someone who set's the time to go all out to get the world record which no-one can beat, i'll update the rules in the OP to reflect this. I've also updated the OP to show you as the Time Trial 2 winner.

spookywillow said:
So I get to do 2 laps to set the time, can I then try and beat it ?

Just set a time, no restrictions on laps for the initial time setting.

Personally didnt really see the problem before with the times, even if they are "world record" times thats probably not so hard to do because your using the specific combination of car/track to set that time which may not have had many people doing that way.

Also the challenges so far have been fairly close, even tho spooky and solost were settin fast times it never felt out of reach thanks to the ghosts theres something to chase

I understand the reasoning tho its a bit demoralising for some to see a time which looks impossible to beat from the start, only difference now is that Spooky's 2nd time will be the good one

If i ever win im so pickin a point to point then its harder for people to learn

I've changed it back now, when people set the time, they can do as many laps as they want.

I don't know how you lot do it, I struggle to keep the car under control.

Best i can do for now

peahead, you win. Please choose then next car, track, weather and time. I'll update the winners list.

byeo · 1 Nov 2014 at 11:43

I think I'm messing up my lap on the first corner due to the speed to generate as you approach it.

I'll keep trying though.

Would anyone be up for a similar Drift thread? I get the feeling the time trials will be hard for the crappier players (like me!) to have a real go at. Drifts are less skillful

rp2000

Go for it, more the merrier. I'll compete in both, if Evolution can't sort out challenges then it'll be up to us

byeo · 2 Nov 2014 at 17:58

Only a couple of hours left to beat peahead, I've given up this round, I just can't get it together.
