6 new entries brings the total number of players to 28, action throughout the field with plenty of improvements, podium positions got a little juggle as well.

Spot a Problem? Please let me know so it can be fixed!

 

Sooooo. ...are you meant to turn the fuel and tyre wear off? And what's factory assists?

If I turn tyre wear on and fuel on then I can only do a couple laps before the fuel runs out, then when I restart the tyres are cold. If I turn the fuel off and tyre wear off I can run unlimited laps, but from the videos I've watched in this thread it doesn't seem like some are running that way.

I had about 50 laps tonight so far but only could do a 1:25.5xx. I'll post a proper time once I get the answers to the above questions.

 

Couldn't break the 1:25's tonight but got pretty close won't be able to get on AC now before the deadline so will be my final time.

Not sure what others do but I run tyre wear on. You can't run so many laps on the trot this way as the tyres
performance falls off but it's more realistic and I'm not sure whether you maybe get better optimal tyre temperatures that way as well, not sure how that works if tyre wear is turned off... others will probably be able to confirm that though.

Tyre wear on
Fuel consumption on
No stability
Abs factory (none)
TC factory (none)

1 lap of fuel
Tyre warmers on
give it the berries

 

I know other have answered, but as I create the threads I should chime in...

Fuel and tyre wear is free, meaning you decide what is best for you, personally I am running with tyre wear and fuel usage on with a low fuel load, enough for 2 laps at most. I also switch the tyre warmers to on to so they are up to temperature from the get go. They still take a little while to settle down, but I don't have to do a complete warm up lap. I suppose I should add this detail to the OP of each thread.

You can set the assists in one of the screens before the track loads, for traction control and ABS you have the choice of, on / off / factory. It is asked to use factory for these challenges as that best replicates the car IRL, it is also asked to set stability control to off as it isn't a true representation of a system on a real car.

 

Lol

 

Here we go again Few laps while my son takin a nap. 1:22.750.



Ps4 and t300rs. 2 clicks shorter gears, fuel usage and tyre wear off.

 

I would like to point out, that if we're trying to be like the real car.. Fuel consumption and tire wear should be ON..

But I don't think it really matters.. just saying.

It's all fun. Personally, if I really wanted to, I would even use Stability Control, if it helped me catch up to you guys up front.. of course I would admit to using it (if I did) and you would then just need to add a * beside my PED time

 

Edit*** one of my best moments in this game so far was on the WHC when I was about to smash my ghost by about a second, and I ran out of gas 2 turns away from finish!!! Couldn't even be mad, it was so great! lol

 

the first couple of weeks I was running no tire wear/fuel consumption then noticed that other folk were running with them on.

My times now have

tire warmers - on
Tire wear - on
Fuel consumption - on
ABS - Factory
Traction - Factory (will adjust level if available in game but not turn it off)
Stability - off

 

Interestingly Andy, the two sessions I have had subsequent to our little conversation here I have found that I am struggling for grip on the 3rd lap.. so I went to just doing two laps per run. Weird because I didn't find that previously and the actual game settings were not changed. The only thing I altered in setup was a click less rear wing.

 

Ahh! i didn't realize there a an actual "factory" setting. I just always turn everything off so that's what i would have done months ago when this game came out, and i just left it there.
Tyre warmers i will turn on now for these sessions.
Fuel i had turned on but after a few times running out and having cold tyres i just turned it off and tyre wear off and ran lap after lap trying to learn the circuit and get a feeling for the car. I'm still screwing up Copse and Stowe on some laps though....it's a little frustrating atm.

Will try to figure out how to add the image from one of my sessions last night.
tyre wear off, fuel off, no assists.

EDIT - i guess i don't know how to post a pic. link to my picture is above though, is that good enough?

 

I just snap a pic with my phone to upload to the forum.

 

Like @Duster24 said the easiest way is via your phone as you can just upload the picture direct rather than have to go the route of uploading to a file sharing site first.
