HomeBuiltByJeff Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Great work. I can see a couple of places where I could make up some time there, but also a couple of places where you could pick up some time. Great to see. I am away for the next couple of weeks, but when I get back I will have another crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP260 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Absolutely HBB Jeff. Always room for improvement. Unfortunately I didn't record this. But it will be playable as the ghost car. This is default setup, so it's achievable. HomeBuiltByJeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeBuiltByJeff Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Nice work. When you say that is the default set up, surely you have at least changed the brake bias, as out of the box it is near on undriveable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP260 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) No changes at all, absolutely default. I like the way it brakes. The key is to ease into the braking. Brake early and relatively gently and let your momentum carry you through the corner. If you try and brake at the black braking marks on the road, it's too late.

RAP260 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I will add though, Once I've spent a few hours driving it, I'll start to play with the bias. Hoping to shorten my braking distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Ignore above post. Link deleted. Set a new PB of just over 1:27 Running default setup. Should explain. Didn't realise my mic would record. You'll hear me talk to the misses when she comes in to tell me dinners ready.. Lol https://plus.google.com/104716928338032625573/posts/HtkZXQzNz3A Grrrr, it won't play for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP260 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Hey 260DET, Using a phone?. Android or apple? May have to install the Google+ app?. But I'm not 100% sure. I probably should use YouTube?. Not something I've ever used. Could give it a go tonight. Edited April 16, 2018 by RAP260 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do PC/xbox/ps all share the same highscores and other things? I've got a few steam credits that I might put towards this to get into the fun, I'll be controller only though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP260 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Ok, I hadn't thought about that. The answer seems to be no Only the PC logs times, through steam it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP260 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Ok. Seems there are some serious limitations with how the concoles store their time trial data. Looks like we'll have to start our own time trial list, if we want to compare everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3c0y Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I have been out of this thread for a while now, but i can't believe i'm pretty much out of the top 10 now. I watched your video driving the stock setup and I'm blown away. On my time doing a 1:30 i have the thing crossed up and sliding everywhere and teetering on the edge of disaster at most corners. You look like you are on rails in comparison to the point if the dash was turned off i would say you were driving a different car. Not to take anything away from your laps, but maybe the stock setup has been improved in one of the updates over the past couple of months because as mentioned a few months back the standard car was borderline un-drivable on PC!

RAP260 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Yea, very possible, they do that all the time with racing games. I'm using the "Loose" setup if anyone's interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAP260 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Nooooooo... Jeff43 just pipped me by another 0.3 of a second, for first place ... Lol Well done, nice job. Impressive.

HomeBuiltByJeff Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I am using Xbox and when I first started driving it I found it near on undriveable as well. The bias was at something like 55/45 from memory and any braking at anything other than absolutely straight would end in a spin. As for times I have got down to a predicted 1:27, but I haven’t been able to string it all together in one good lap yet. I did find in the past coming down from the top of the hill I was just cruising trying not to spin under braking. After a lot of trial and error I found a bit of throttle between corners balanced the car out and made it so much easier to drive. It also knocked about 5 secs off my time. A lot more practice is necessary but i am gettting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260DET Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Well then, you blokes had better rock up to Challenge Bathurst 2018 and try it for real. We need more Zeds, too many intruders. RAP260 and HomeBuiltByJeff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP260 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Would absolutely love to. But at least a couple of years away for me. And I'd be amazed if I cracked 4 minutes in the real thing... Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely the key. If you look at my replay, you'll see me constantly doing this. The round info display in the bottom right shows throttle and brake input.

260DET Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Nice one RA, it's a while since I played and that was with the Z32's but one thing I noticed immediately with yours is that the car seems to do a slow wriggle at times, particularly when coming in to a corner. Your car seems to be handling really well, she turns in like a beaut and that final understeer helps wash off a bit of speed when it's getting close to the limit. Weird but, except for the wriggle, it drives like I'd like my real car to drive. Obviously you have it nailed, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP260 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Cheers Richard. I can't speak from experience, as I've never raced mine or any real Zed , but in this context I love how the oversteer/understeer is basically controlled through the throttle. That's why your seeing that wiggle , as I find the balance point. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff43 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Nooooooo... Jeff43 just pipped me by another 0.3 of a second, for first place ... Lol Well done, nice job. Impressive. Looks like it's going to be a race into the 2:24's It will be a race into the 2:24's for sure. Very impressed that you are doing these times with the default setup, are you using the "loose" or "stable" setup. I find the default setup doesn't work for me - I have the back coming around on me before I get to apex. I like to brake deep towards the apex and adjust the car to suit. Keep up the nice work and see you on the leaderboard. Cheers Jeff RAP260 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much time is left in it?, ironically I was thinking about 0.3 seconds. Which ain't good enough now... Lol. So I suspect your going to be seeing the custom setup icon soon The only reason I like the current setup is that it is very similar to the Skip Barber in iRacing, which I spent a lot of time driving. Both low powered / well balanced cars that can be steered using the throttle, as much as the actual steering wheel. Nice job on that newest time . Going to take some serious chasing. Looks like I'm going to have to buckle down and commit to some serious testing... Lol. Enjoying the challenge I suspect it won't be long before we have a couple of other people nipping at our heals.
