I'm loving it! :D I'm getting a bit better all the time. Are you guys doing 'drifting' technique wth countersteering and accelerator dabbing in some of those corners? It's something I haven't really learnt to do yet. How many more weeks are left of season 2 and when does season 3 start? I don't want this to end now that I just got started :)

On this weeks combo more throttle control through the corners but certainly, on other combos in the past we've been using the 'Drifting' technique.

Season 1 was hosted by another user who made it clear from the outset he was only willing to do Ten weeks. I've taken the key's to continue his idea. Season 2 is just a new thread title really. At the moment I'm happy to continue beyond ten weeks, but then where do you stop. The leaderboard table becomes pointless as people drop out & new come in.

What's everyone's feeling on this?
Do we really need a leaderboard?
Is the weekly challenge enough to do without points?
Stop at ten weeks then start a new thread - Season 3?

I would suggest we should scrap the leaderboard idea and just mention first 5 top times of the each week on the front page rather then three and just carry on beyond 10 weeks until every one lost their interest.

Atleast i think this way we will have more new people joining in at any point of the champsionship or even one of the ragular guys here miss one week for any reason its not going to effect their position on the leaderboard so they not going to loose their intrest. Just a thought?

Thanks Nikaz, by the way i did 51.990 after 6 damn.Didn't posted the pic because it was just outside 6 clock cut off time. Again big thanks to Nikaz and Wedge for posting their settings which helped me a lot in the end.

Congrats Wedge, you were untouchable again this week. Can't believe that you got nearly 1 second lead on such a short circuit.Must be your G25 steering wheel :D.

My thoughts exactly. Save Wedge a job too.
As the first post is arranged in descending order it doesn't really matter how long it gets

So the porsche to be bought and used @stock, no upgrades, is that correct?

No, you can upgrade as much as you want.

Sorry, I should have explained car choice clearer.
When 'Works Converted' is stated it prime purpose is to REMOVE NOS from the selected car.

You may see;
'Reward Car'
'Loaner Car'
or 'Works Converted'
stated after the name of the car chosen.
If nothing is stated anything goes
 
I dont think so...
as long it is not Works converted.. which in this case I dont think you can...
you are free to max the upgrades.

there have been cases like Porsche @ Spa where lots of ppl avoided some upgrades.
things like wide body kit, welded frame.. etc..
 
Hey all, looks like 3 in a row is on the cards, however i dont seem to be as good with 'fast' cars for some reason.

Anyways good luck all :)

Do we really need a leaderboard? I think so yes.
Is the weekly challenge enough to do without points? Maybe
Stop at ten weeks then start a new thread - Season 3? Seasons are good i think, maybe make them shorter?

This thread is the only reason i have this game installed, as you mentioned, we have a good following, so maybe just tweak the format, as inam22 suggests, im easy either way, i like this weeky distraction, long may it continue in one form or another.

I'm with Wedge on this one, last season I came 5th I think, so my aim this season has been to better that. Take away the leaderboard and you take away most of the incentive to play for me :(
 
Little setting/tuning tip.
If you're currently using default settings,

Scrapping sounds - You may be experiencing scrapping sounds. This is due to 'too low a ride height'. Raise the ride height, front & rear by a notch until it's minimised. A bit of scrapping at the rear is OK as long as you're on a straight section, maybe once or twice a lap.

Sudden loss of rear end - Spinning, losing rear end suddenly when negotiating a corner with minimal steering input. Again this is ride height related though differs slightly. At T-2 for example you're turning in on the rise, negotiating the apex at the crown then dipping on the exit. If you can get the front end pointing where you want on entry & the back end suddenly spins round raise REAR ride height. If the front understeers severely, raise FRONT ride height.
 
Jesus guys.. first attempt and you are on 1.23s... I mean.. pls someone shoot me!!

Had a hell of a time with the Spa settings i used to have.. switched to default and it was all over the place.

did a few laps with the reward Porsche and then went back and set the car up to have
a similar behavior.
I matched the reward's car time.. tuned a bit more.. and ended up with this..

I might go to low 1.25s but I dont think I'll do 1.24s :(

Anyways.. great combo guys..
Demanding track but fun to drive ;)
