apologies, I might've missed it.

Oh, sorry if that came off wrong. Not my intention.

 

[Konosuke]

0:59:093 is all I could manage so far.
Suggestion: Winners of each challenge are encouraged to record & upload their winning laps for the losers to marvel at. (?)



Nope, it's the first track in the Ferrari Invitational event (Pro-Tour).

That's a cool idea!

 

[Vaga]

This took a couple of hours, could've shaved another 100ms but that last chicane was giving me so much trouble that I was starting to get really frustrated. Plus my hands hurt a lot, but definitely room for improvement. Will try to upload the lap later.

Aaaand my time didn't get registered on the leaderboards. Classic.


LE: here is the video of the lap

 

[Shiera Seastar]

Nice! You definitely took the second red turn tighter than me, lol. I've found that staying inside on the last straight leading up to the finish line tends to give me slightly better times, so maybe there's still room for improvement.

And your time did get registered. You're sitting right at the top.

 

[Vaga]

Woohoo I see it now. Cmon guys, only a few hours left to beat me.

LE: Nevermind, forgot about the 48 hour deadline. Plenty of time to beat me dammit.

I tip my hat to you sir, nice work! I'll try and match your time tomorrow!

 

[Konosuke]

I absolutely hate the sun in this track, it messed up some good laps I had going. I can't believe Vaga is almost on the 0:56, that's impressive.

 

[GTR R35_Supra RZ]

Dat last turn..nightmares incoming.

 

[Fonds]

Dat last turn..nightmares incoming.

The first turn is also a maker or breaker. At least you can restart soon if you mess that one up.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

I don't really like the track tbh. Too many gimmicky corners to my taste. I wasn't going to post a time but I see that my entry has already been posted

By the way. I can't seem to get my own entry be shown in the leaderbords.

Edit: I can see my name now.

 

[Vaga]

Good job Supra. Gotta hit the gym then I'll have another go at the track. That bump in the last chicane that throws the car sideways...

Yeh that bump can throw you both ways, it's either a boost or a barrier.

 

[Konosuke]

Nice to see leaderboards working. I wonder how solid is my third place. I don't think I can make it into the 0:57s

Sadly my 57 wasnt enough. And it isn't uploaded to the leaderboards yet.

 

[Auctopus]

I feel like all I'm doing on this track is seeing how far I can cut a corner before it gives me a penalty.

Also, it might be because I'm failing break my 58.074 but I'm getting really tired of not even the leaderboards functioning properly anymore and I was one of Driveclub's most active defenders in the review threads.

Edit: Also, just saw that leaderboard and I should be sitting pretty in 3rd if the leaderboards would connect

 

[Konosuke]

Bah, I thought leaderboards were reliable now...last night it took more than an hour for ghosts to show up, but I thought it just that...

 

[Vaga]

I'm done man, done with the stupid car and the stupid track. Need a glass of whiskey.

 

[Konosuke]

Whoa, you matched the best time exactly?!

 

[Fonds]

Bah, I thought leaderboards were reliable now...last night it took more than an hour for ghosts to show up, but I thought it just that...

Yeh I've lost a lot of high ranked leaderboard places already with the connection issues.

The 57 I've posted on this track would be #3 behind vaga and supra. Same for the previous challenge. Hopefully the issues will be resolved in the coming week.

 

[le-seb]

Edit : fuck, wasn't the good car. lol

 

[Vaga]

And this will be my final entry, I'm sick of RS5.

Few more minutes and the challenge ends right? Will post the video soon if Supra doesn't post a better time.

Very, very nice... that time is godlike. At the moment I put down a 57,4 I thought I had it in the bag.
Nice to see there is always something left to push for... a 56, hotdamn.

Gonna post a new challenge soon. I'm thinking we had enough of circuit tracks, so I'm gonna choose a point to point race.

Flawless!

Good idea setting hot laps in 1st person. Might have to ditch 3rd person for precision instead.

Thanks man, you too. Had some rough competition hehe.

Yeah that lap time, I was stunned to say the least. I just threw the pad away and went to get a drink lol.

 

[Konosuke]

I like the car, so tail happy and fast. And the track feels super fast too, and those bumps are so sneaky. Here's how the leaderboards looked a while ago, it's probably not syncing all the times.

 

[Fonds]

Nice car nice track! I'll get on it this afternoon!

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Room for improvement. When the car goes, it goes.

Ok. Improved

 

[Cock of War]

Got a bit sloppy at the last corner

Frustrating it's not showing up on the leaderboard.

[Vaga]

Great lap times GAF, keep going.

Frustrating it's not showing up on the leaderboard.

Yeah, my record on Fraser didn't register either.

 

[Fonds]

What I'm on atm. Always close, think I'll need a ghost for some reference. Frustrating that I'm not seeing leaderboards atm either.

But then again, having a blast with this track for about an hour or 2 now, so I can't complain.

 

[Shiera Seastar]

Lol, you guys are killing me with your times. 2:0

Spoiler

7

is all I got. *hangs head in shame*

And now you can even look at my smiling face on top of the leaderboards!...

God damn that is some good driving. I will give the new challenge a go!

 

[ValfarHL]

2:04.179. Getting there!

 

[Vaga]

This is where I stand atm:

I would've improved my time if this would stop happening to me

Top driving there buddy.

 

[Cock of War]

Top driving there buddy.

Thanks I feel there is still room for improvement especially the first and last corners.

Lol at your flips there. They should give extra points for that

Oh man! You almost double flipped it!

 

[Raikko]

That first sector, so bad. Might have to play offline to get my ghost back to avoid that again, but I've been struggling in the first sector and especially the first corner. I'll have to watch some of the vids above to see where I'm going so wrong.

Edit: 2:04.961 final time for tonight. http://imgur.com/gUEhWuK

 

[Vaga]

Finally a lap time registered on the leaderboards! All I can say is that a 2:02.x is totally doable so don't give up

 

[Fonds]

*Edit* uploaded the vid to youtube.

Just drove a 2:02.929

The other one is not over yet?

Keen to give the Scotland one a go, but heads up, I can't upload a video due to only being able to tether my mobile for PSN (No phone line in the house as I live in the sticks). Will be able to post screenshot though, hope that's alright.

Sceeenshots are fine!

 

[Gen X]

If I didn't clip the grass and nudge the wall on the last high speed right hander before you turn towards the bridge I am confident I would've been in the high 2.03/low 2.04. Don't have time to attempt anymore tonite.

I'll start again with the fresh challenge tomorrow. Loved the car choice Vega, well suited, and congrats.


Btw, my PSN ID is Weak_Spot

 

[Smiles and Cries]

finally got pass Rookie Trophy taking my time and using the brake lol

I guess all that grinding helped me out too now I don't feel so weak sauce
