Shift 2 Unleashed - Time Trial Championship Season 2

Welcome to Season 2

Due to the success of the previous NFS Shift Time Trial Comp and Shift 2 Unleashed Time Trial Season 1. As per Shift 1 and 2 TT, each season consists of Ten Time Trial Events with each event lasting 1 week, so total ten weeks. Each event is selected (Car/ Track) by a nominee as per the rule outlined below.

New to this season is a new way of selecting a combo, one user from each event can choose from a random number for car and track (see rule for number limit) to make the combos so random and to make sure not everyone goes for pure power and simple tracks so it makes the choices for each combo more simple for each user.

Rules:

  • Cars are performance limited to what the user who nominated the car (stock or to a certain performance index)
  • Proof of the lap time will be provided in this thread by either screen shot (e.g. Fraps on PC) or camera shot for console users. This means that this tournament is open to all versions of the game on either PC or console.
  • Two Screen shots must be taken (Finishing Positions & Laps) at the end of the session. Lap times will not be included from mid race as these times show illegal lap times where corner cuts may have been taken, also the performance index needs to be shown in one of the screen shots (in the autolog under your time it shows either your performance index or the car you are using by flickering between both of them) but if you have already set a faster time and the current car does not show your time in autolog then the rule does not apply to you.
  • Lap must be set in Time Attack mode.
  • One person from each week can only select combo, it will go in order of the time sheet for each week and I will try keep it so that every user gets to select a combo
  • The numbers to choose from are
    - Cars 1-115
    - Tracks 1-88
  • Remember we're here to have fun with a challenge thrown in for good measure
  • The Juls MOD is allowed. You can get it here

The week format is staying the same so week 1 will end on the 9th July 18:00

So i went with the legendary track Nordschleife to kick of the new season and with such a fast track i went with a fast lightweight car, have fun not hitting the barriers :D

Here's a video to help anyone out

I love this track but really struggle with this car, I think it's because i'm crap at setting the car up, so any good base setups would be really helpfull :)

edit* I just tried with this car and it seems a lot less manic than the upgraded one, it was the upgraded one I had tried before with no joy.

If you still want a decent setup you can try mine (bit outdated but it'll do)

I am with chid76 on this, i have never really touched this track before and it took afew days to find the limit on most corners but i am still learning the track more and more, i just hate it when people just give up after afew tries because they can't be assed to give it a proper go.
 
Modified the rule get to around that problem.

[*]Two Screen shots must be taken (Finishing Positions & Laps) at the end of the session. Lap times will not be included from mid race as these times show illegal lap times where corner cuts may have been taken, also the performance index needs to be shown in one of the screen shots (in the autolog under your time it shows either your performance index or the car you are using by flickering between both of them) but if you have already set a faster time and the current car does not show your time in autolog then the rule does not apply to you.

Not being funny or anything, isn't that we have been doing already.

Apart from the "Lap times will not be included from mid race as these times show illegal lap times where corner cuts may have been taken" Which I don't understand as I thought all laps which were discounted didn't show anyway.

We can only submit a time that the auto log deems valid which would be the main time at the top of the screen shot. ;)

And the problem with PI still exists unfortunately.

I know the problem still exists because there is nothing i can do about that since other people have already set faster times so i am hoping they are truthful, it still apply's no matter what combo we are on just that it's a bitch that the autolog is so **** and you have no option to delete your times
 
I am done with this combo, still think there is 1.2sec left to gain but had enough for now.

i honestly can't be bothered to race anymore with this thing.. its meant to go straight thats all.. - good for drag?!

its also funny holding your wheel at 90deg+ while the car goes straight! :D


anyways here's my attempt - ~15mins racing done with it :)

It's a 5**bhp fwd drive car so expect it to understeer on exit if you just floor it out of corners, a fwd drive car should never ever have so much power because of this exact problem, just take care and you should be fine... hell even i was struggling with this car but don't spend 15mins expecting to learn the cars weaknesses and strong points.
