World Record Lap Times for PS4?

Hi,

I love to race the Zonda and other cars around the Nordschleife and would like to enter my times in an official leaderboard. Is there something like that for the PS4? Does it differentiate between controller and steering wheel times?
I got a 06:51:xx time with controller last time I checked.

If there isn't yet I might make a website where drivers can enter their times, if other people want that as well.

Cheers,
Robert

 

I just gave this a run since the Zonda is one of my most favourite cars. Pagani started off such an underdog to the other Italian manufacturers but through refinement look where they are now, right there with the prancing horse and the raging bull(wink wink kunos). I use a Logitech G29, first valid lap was 6.44 and that was with many slow sections and a few missed braking points . I've lapped the 'Green Hell' thousands of times virtually though and i'm no slouch but I definitely can drop that time with some more getting used to the physics and handling/power of the mighty Zonda. Long live that freaking beast Zonda R.

You also forgot to mention if you tuned the car or changed tyres etc. The track temperature can even make a difference i'd expect. Would be good to see how this title shapes up in terms of controller vs wheel times. Most other games it's generally easier to set a good time on wheel but a few 'aliens' (all puns intended) on controller can sometimes beat the fastest wheel users. Most would consider wheels 'should' be faster.

 

Hi L2D,

I did increase downforce (don't know exactly how much right now) and used the stickiest of the ickiest tyres. Everthing else was stock. Temperature was around 25°C I think and weather set to cloudy at 12:00.
If I make the website you'll be the first entry (L2D Godzilla 6:44:xxx, wheel, (tuned the car? tyres? temperature?), but I think I'd only accept entries with videos and then post the videos on the website as well so it's more fun and immersive to compare laps.

Cheers,
Rob

 

Out of interest the RSR leaderboard app times for the PC version are here.

http://www.radiators-champ.com/RSRL...controller_type=all&community=all&friends=all

PC WR currently is 6:21, although there aren't too many times logged as the board has been re-set recently.

If you do set up a web page then it'll be useful to have everyone set standard assists, track conditions and weather. The P on the RSR board denotes pro rank, so standard weather (26°C air temp), track (optimum) and settings, factory assists only so ABS/TC/EDL are ok if the real car has it.

 

Good idea Mogster, would make things easier to compare and edit for sure.

Factory assists only, 26°C air temp, clear weather 12:00, same tyres depending on car and track and groups are divided into:
controller or wheel, and limited to traction control set to 1 or off and divided into subgroups.

Still not decided whether tuning should be allowed or stock settings.

 

did a quick test run:

It's in trial mode now so feel free to critique. To the mods/staff: if you want me to remove the Assetto Corsa logo please let me know I will do so immediately, the website is still in trial mode so not officially published yet. I'd also be happy to insert a disclaimer of your choice.

Nice idea. A suggestion: it may be nice to set the background color to a neutral tint: the full red BG makes my eyes want to go away after 5 seconds for pain

 

ok

 

From what I understand AC's track temperature and grip isn't static but changes as your session progresses and the sun moves. There's a small element of randomness also irc as the track conditions are never exactly the same in rl, it's a bit like real road in rFactor but less sophisticated.

Default temp is 26°C so that's what RSR looks for for its "P" rank times, you can change the time of day and cloud cover but this will reduce your track grip a bit. I tend to hotlap at 9:00 with medium cloud cover as it looks pretty but I'm probably making things a bit harder for myself... At least that gives me an excuse for my slowness

 

@Roberto Olivetti
changed the BG color

 

So I won't publish the website officially since nobody entered a time yet. Or did you want to enter but didn't know where?

cheers

 

Yeah how do I enter a time?

 

at this time either post it here or write me an email at eintopf.moped@gmail.com, and please follow the rules:

• factory assists only (traction control set to 1 or off)
• 26°C air temp
• clear weather 12:00
• same tyres (check tyre choice for the car/track you want to race in the rankings section)
• only PS4 versions of the game, using wheel or controller
• all settings must be visible in the video you post
• only youtube videos accepted

and since I haven't decided yet please use stock suspension and gearing. you can however regulate downforce if available. for tyres use the stickiest/softest available for the particular car.

 

Awesome! Thank you!
Is a video required?

 

yes and please show all settings in the video by scrolling over them in the menu thanks

 

Sorry, my internet is ****ty, so this isn't happening. I wait for a leaderboard in game.

 

follow the rules and post your time I'll enter it and mark it as unverified if you want

 

Ok, will do, thanks. In the meantime, I'll figure out a way get videos going.

 

Ok Nordschleife normal, Audi LMS ultra GT3 7:27.609 steering wheel tires:slick soft

 

Maybe rethink the no tuning rule, if you want WR times people are going to need to tune the cars for each track.
Each track has a main straight but they all vary in length, by tuning the gears to each track you will get better times and more importantly specific times with each car. Why punish someone who knows how to extract more power and time from their car?
If you're not revving out your last gear by the end of the main straight that's usually a good sign that you need to change the gearing ratios.
