Boredom of a track is a factor, I can’t do many laps either until I want to drive a different car/track.  I did wonder at the set up whether to make each round a week.  However I think it is nice to have longer to give everyone time to have a go but maybe we can change it to a week if people would prefer that.

 

No, two weeks is good. The Jap Grand Prix was more interesting for my new knowledge of the track.

2:09 now, still with plenty of room for improvement.

Works for me. I'll have a go tonight to improve my time.

I did the beginners driving test thing to get some cash, I deliberately didn't buy anything knowing reset is coming hopefully I'll be able to jump in this next round. Just also trying to get used to the UI.

[Spacedeck 920]

I did attempt this again this morning but I think I'm ready to move on now.

[GazzaGarratt 11,049]

Just got my time slowly down to 2:09:394.

Think I left it too late but I still think Greebs and Space are a mile ahead of my times I could achieve on that one.

[Greboth 2,721]

I think everyone is finished with this combo so posting now so I can go to bed

 

Round 1 Final times

1st Greboth - 2:04.1

2nd Spacedeck 2:06.6

3rd Phil Bottle 2:08.6

4th GazzaGarratt 2:09.3

 

So on to round 2 and the randomiser has thrown out

Track: Fuji Speedway F

Class: Gr3

 

I dont' know the track but it is going to be interesting in some faster cars and the added downforce is going to be nice too.

Sounds like a good plan, though if you haven't already I'd work through the challenges and the track challenges as each one gifts you a car so it is a relatively easy way to build up a decent garage.

That is why I like time trials as you can squeeze them in around other things easier than a fixed race time/schedule.  Suzuka is a difficult track to get perfect laps on so maybe the wrong one to start on but that's what you get for randomisers Hopefully round 2 combo is better for you.

I finished the driving school today, thought I was doing well on some till I saw @phil bottle times 

 

Noticed I need to level some more to unlock all the tracks, so I'll run through the track challenges.

[Greboth 2,721]

When I created this time trial I didn’t realise you had to unlock tracks.  I guess I probably did but that would have been when it came it so I’ve obviously forgotten it.

 

I managed to get on last night for some laps though was too tired to do more than a few.  I think this track combo is easier than Suzuka though still a few corners you have to nail to get a good lap time.

[phil bottle 9,754]

The thing about this game is that it has actually made me learn how to drive properly in a driving game. I enjoyed all the driving challenges, and getting a new car when you complete a level is a good motivator. In the month or so I've owned this game my driving has improved a lot but I'll always be reckless with the brakes.

I'm on 1:40 for Fuji so far, faster without BOP enabled.

Oh no what sort of driving monster have we created!!! Maybe smooth out your braking then and you might be able to challenge me

Level 19 required to play the track. I'm Level 10 right now. [emoji85] I'll spend some time levelling up.

Im level 9 lol

[Greboth 2,721]

Oh shit  sorry guys, I didn’t realise it was such a high level.  Presuming the tracks unlock in the order they are on screen, I’m happy to re-roll the track for an unlocked one.

[phil bottle 9,754]

I'm happy to start again on another track, one all can have a go at, though definitely come back to Fuji, it's a nice challenge.

Don't be sorry Greebs, just gotta level up abit, that's all. Will take a few tracks and cups to get there but hopefully won't take too long.

 

Did we say 2 weeks? It's been a week so I reckon we either extend for another week or pick a different track and keep to the deadline of this Sunday. I'll take Greebs/Phil's lead.

[phil bottle 9,754]

To be fair it'll take no time to level up if you do the challenge cup races etc

I figured I’d post another combo and run for another 2 weeks as normal.  I’m out today so will post a new combo for round 2 tomorrow.

[Spacedeck 920]

I haven't loaded up the game recently, so haven't done any times but if we're changing tracks then I'll hold off.

[Greboth 2,721]

Round 2 Combo (updated)

Car Class: Gr.3

Track Kyoto Driving Park - Yamagiwa + Miyabi

 

This is one of the earlier tracks so hopefully it is unlocked for everyone.

[techno 3,510]

Just had my first run at this I don't expect it to be anywhere near you guys but if I can improve I'll be happy already dropped 8 seconds to 

[phil bottle 9,754]

Good going Gary, what car are you using? I'm trying out the Dodge Viper and with BOP enabled I'm only 2 seconds faster than you at the moment.
