Need for Speed Time Trial Championship ** Season 2 ** (Multiplatform)

Yeah very happy with the way it went i should be able to get into the 53's i think seems reasonable had a few corners that could have been better and i will switch to manual to.

Where I gain or adversely lose time is in the last sequence T-4 & T-5. I can green the first two sectors only to screw up that sequence & wreck my lap time.
I reckon with everything coming together I could see a 53.5 but not much better than that.
Also another point of note, we're getting so used to this game it's only taking a couple of days to get near your limit, where before we needed the whole week. Generally speaking of course.
 
Turn 2 into 3 is where i lose time i either don't brake enough or too much whilst dropping the gears and end up bogged down once i have a play with 3rd gear i might be a bit better it's just not in the right rev range for me at the moment.

My brake balance is set to 62.5.
Gearing - Final drive is set one notch right of default
6th is one notch from full left. Spread the other gears in between evenly using the graph. Then tweak to your preference.
I'm doing this from memory so apologies for not being more accurate.

Edit - Sorry are you still using auto at the mo?

I'll switch over to manual now :eek:
 
mucked about with the tuning, i got 54.5 at stock, i then set every option to stiff, tyres down to 33psi, 4 downforce on each, gears all set to accelerate, bar 6th with is set for speed.
Completely random settings, ie; dont really know what im doing lol, but can hit low 54 almost every lap.

T-1 - You should be braking from 6th down to 5th for this turn if your gearing is set right. On the approach DON'T whack on the brakes, dab the brakes whilst dropping to 5th. Off the brakes turn in & try to follow the racing line without scrubbing too much speed off. It doesn't matter too much if you run the wide curbing on the exit, try & take the corner with the least amount of resistance (tyres screeching). Accelerating towards the next turn you should be changing up to 6th around the pit exit on your right.
T-2 - Two ways to take this corner. 1. Brake early just as you enter the red zone dropping to 3rd, turn in & hug the curbing round the whole corner i.e. well inside the predicted racing line. 2. Brake later well into the red zone dropping to 3rd, as your coming off the brakes turn in & power round following the racing line. This is where you may be experiencing the juddering I mentioned in an earlier post. If you are, soften the rear suspension by one notch until it's eliminated.
T-3 - Again two ways to approach this turn. 1. On approach you should be red lining 6th gear. Brake late dropping to 4th & power round just missing the left curbing (if you take too much curb the front pushes out forcing you too wide for T-5). 2. Brake early dropping to 4th, (some may prefer 3rd for a little extra bite) aim to ride A LOT of the curbing on the left. (You can have ALL four wheels on this curb without incurring a penalty)
T-5 - Try not to run too wide of the apex. The racing line is a good indicator of the line you should take. You can be quite aggressive with the car here, power sliding round. Changing down from 4th to 3rd turn in (no brakes) & power round feathering the throttle when necessary until you see the exit then straighten the steering to maximise traction for the run up to the start/finish.

T-1, agree
T-2, I start braking when i hit the left curb, drop into 3rd, turn hard and power through the corner.
T-3, I brake hard (at my braking point), drop to 3rd, and power though the corner, just clipping the curb....(do this flat out, you will then just steer hard right to get some opposite lock for T-4)
T-4 stay in 3rd for this corner (flat out) i just steer the car round with a little oversteer.

Job done....
 
Nikaz can you post your settings please!!!!

Could any of sub 53s guys fancy uploading the video of this track please.

Hi Inam

I tried to do a video of this last night, problem is to get under 54 requires precision on every corner and I just can't get it right with Fraps running, I couldn't even get under 55 seconds :(
