Question about time attack mode

    is it true that you have to go slower in order to get more points and get up to 10 laps in time attack ? thats what i found online , will test it tomorrow (don't have time today) but if this is the case then whats the point of time attack ?
    iam trying to get the achievement "10 laps at time attack" but timer always runs out on lap 7 or 6 .
    iam driving with the formula abarth at vallelunga with low fuel , rear wing at2 , can run probably with no wing , its glued to the track and adjusted ride height, brake bias, diff and soft tires. getting 1:33 every lap. i can probably get to 1:32 but didnt test the setup so much.

    a quote from the steam discussion that was opened in 2014:

    "The slow start method is working. I just got a gold with formula abarth."

    Yeah it's a bit weird but if you drive slow enough on the first lap to just beat the initial timers and slowly increase your pace you can do like 20 laps in time attack. I think the idea is you are not supposed to know the track at all so you would usually go very slow on the first few laps.

    did only first 3 tiers .. but even without intentionaly going slow you can get points needed for gold medal within 3-5 laps where you just normaly drive, trying to go fast .... sure going super slow in first lap and than beating your sector times without issues is the way how to "cheat" system ..
    Even when I crashed and get a lot of negative points in few laps you get what you need to pass

    Whole concept of those Time attacks is weird and could do some rethinking IMHO (well whole career would profit from little refreshment)

    The idea is to get better and improve your lap time. But if it is a track you already know very well it is impossible to improve enough each lap to keep the timer going. So you have to drive a slower pace at the start.

    Trying to beat your fastest lap on the 2nd lap will be a challenge , that's what I was doing.) I really think that time attack is meant for new players and not for players with 270+hours. Which is too bad because now you have to cheat on all time attack modes if you want to get those achievements.

    I get the idea .. but as you said .. you driving slower (intentionaly) at the begining makes it not work and not fun or usfull challenge anymore .. as a gamemode it is not working well ..

    I just naturaly have slower pace in first lap (even when not holding back), specialy if it is my first lap in AC after other sim and I have to get used to FFB .. could be only few tenths, but that is enough .. it seems it gives me points even when I`ll have positive delta on sector marker .. so I don`t know .. I`ll just do 3-4 laps, ALT+F4 and see that I have gold ..
    Perhaps if it is based on corner performance .. I think most of us have corners where we feel like loosing time and can improve there ..

    I mean should it be aiming for new players? most players had over 50 hours, some over 1000, when career was introduced .. now I use career as motivation to invest some time in AC and I quite enjoy it, I think it fits AC better than 'serious' full on championships. It also makes me try cars I never really tried or I haven`t driven in 1 - 3 years ..

    ok so i tried again and i got the gold achievement and 10 laps time attack achievement.
    i was cruising with about 15% to 50% throttle and just braking and driving at like 60 kmh before checkpoints until lap 9 , then i used about 75% throttle and final lap i went all in with a 1:33.1
