I messed up, I think it's called Forrest's Elbow, that sharp downhill turn before the long back straight and just clipped the barrier on exit. No time to render tonight, will try to do it tomorrow and upload it.

I love the age we live in
Lucius86 vs Dilly
Now I feel like recording my own laptimes too
Man, the competition is heating up at the top! I hope this game gets ghost replays eventually.

Fuck this corner. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
As this video shows, I pretty much have the first section down now. I might not be flying around like Dilly but I'm consistently quite fast through there. But as soon as you get to THAT GODDAMN CORNER, well, you can see for yourself.
So many lost laps I'm already making up like 2-3 seconds before that point, so I need to get over this hurdle to get a decent time in.

Yeah, you are definitely way too fast there

That's actually REALLY useful, but damn I look slow as ass compared to Dilly.
At least I am the top of some other leaderboard. I think my time of 2:02.6xx going in reverse will never be beaten.

Just got the game, I am turrible...
I guess I should try Bahurst. Do you guys have setting recommendations?
I guess I should try Bahurst. Do you guys have setting recommendations?
Bathurst is not the best track to learn, really.
My recommendation is: pick up an easy car (FB and Asano x4 are pretty easy), pick up an easy track, and try to drive slow, learn the track and then slowly increase speed as you start to feel the track and the car.
Bathurst is not a forgiving track because of the elevation changes, it's better with a high downforce carI'm finding it really hard to correct slides in the Gumpert. The car snaps back to the opposite lock direction, so I think I'm maybe applying too much opposite lock, but any less and the car just slides.
Is it a combination of the car + Bathurst? Or are there any good tips?

Yeah, looks greener.
I've just got a 2:03.256 with a 360 controller (no assists, manual, pro handling, default setup), and not having driven this track since TOCA Race Driver on the PS2.
Struggled like hell, I can definitely go sub-2:00 with a decent run. Just making it to the end of the lap is an achievement in itself.
Messy, messy lap (video).

Very nice! I'm using stability control while I try to learn the physics and I've got a 2:02 (Should be tenth on the board as Phleg). It'll be interesting to see your video.
Thanks! Video's up.. as you can probably tell, no assists = carnage. Out of 30+ attempts, I made it to the end of the lap maybe 4 times. Coming down the hill at the top is so sketchy.

Yeah, I know. The thing is on a lap before all of those crashes I made it around that corner SO fast doing it at that speed, but I wiped out further down the track. I wanted to try and replicate that because anything else feels too slow now
Guess I'll have to suck it up and slow down when I try it later!

I don't get my times to save. If i go into records, it just says no record set, and if i start a race on a track that i know i have completed laps on, it just says N/A on my best time. Am i missing something? I am of course doing laps in Time Trial mode. I'm also junior member, does that have anything to do with it?
I guess junior member -might- have something to do with it...there's a new version of the game out that people are using for the current competition of course.
Just to make sure, you do quit the race and game using the menus once you have finished, right? Instead of pressing Alt-F4?
Also, you might try pressing Tab a few times while racing until the personal best vs current time box comes up. That should tell you if your current lap time is good (not red) and getting recorded. If you hit anything or go off the track your lap won't be recorded.
Here's a very messy lap of mine. It's not very clean but you can get the general gist of how I'm doing the lap. I've got TC and stability control on while I try to get the hang of it.
Advice is appreciated.
Good lap, I commented.
Oh for crying out loud, I've never had any major problems with the Dipper, but after watching that video I messed it up like ten times in a row and off course pretty much every one of those laps would've ended faster If the game hadn't invalidated them because of contact. I managed a 2:03 something with the pad though, so hopefully I can get close to under 2 minutes with a wheel then.
Made a short video to show off the visuals, love this game.
Nooo, must reclaim P3!

2:03.615 - Video
Some of you guys go flat out in sections I lift on. Hmm. I can probably get a 2:02.xxx but no more than that. I feel this is a somewhat respectable time so when I next try I'm going to thrash the fuck out of the car and try going flat out/drifting more like some of you do in the vids posted. Might find some time... or end up crashing terribly.

Could you possibly put 'wheel' or 'pad' next to the times? I'm using pad btw.

Sure, edited in the three I know are pad. If people specify when they post the time if it's with a pad I'll cite it as such in future

I can only do a few laps of CARS, not enough for F1 thanks to the footy.

A really good lap and I think I should be able to just get below 1.57, but like Dilly it is extremely hard to not make a minor error somewhere. Knowing myself I might try later, but first I have to break the 1.42 barrier at Besos in the SMS weekly thingie

That's mental. I'm not convinced markao isn't part of the dev team with thousands of hours racked up, doing some elaborate viral marketing with his insane skills.
