Project CARS 2 Sep 1, 2018 - TT #1 - Caterham SP/300 @ Donington National (2 Viewers)

[RSR Admin]

Welcome @Members to the opening round of our new Hotlap Championship. The goal is simple, set your fastest time using the in-game time-trial mode, with the car and track combo posted. If you're like me and not a setup god then you can opt to use one of the default presets (loose, stable or OEM - where available) as we'll be running separate divisions for open and default setups.

Date: 1st September 2018 - 30th September 2018
Car: Caterham SP/300
Track: Donington National

Some basic stuff
If you've previously set a time on this combo and you are unable to beat it, please take a screenshot before leaving the session or your time will be excluded. If you are taking part in the Default Setup division and are unable to beat a time you have previously set on a Custom Setup, then you must record video evidence to prove your time was set on default or your time will NOT be included for the round.

If you are taking part in the 'default' division, you must select an in-built default preset, do NOT match a custom setup to the in-game defaults. We will be using the SMS leaderboards to verify the times and setups used.

The track limits will be defined by the in-game limits, not "Two wheels within the white lines". If those limits seem too loose or too tight, drive your lap accordingly. We will not be reviewing laps unless they are suspiciously fast.

I'm already enjoying this while still on holiday, 2 RSR members in the top 3 ! hope to set a good time soon...will be back around the 18th. Game is on!

 

[Hujkis]

Looks like Cluck is already on it as well, this will be a short-lived no.1

Awesome track, Awesome car!
I'm missing ~0.03s on the track, but it would take toooo long for me to do a perfect lap.
Aliens will be 1.01s for sure.
Also....I hate curbs in pcars2

BTW, the Coppice should be renamed to "Destroyer of hope"

 

[Cluck]

default winning time should be around 1m01.6 I reckon. The lap I just set was 0.1s down in S1, more than 0.1s down in S2 and just over 0.1s down in S3 compared to my best times in that brief run.

It is an awesome combo, kind of why we picked it

EDIT : Top 3 times now belong to RSR

 

[Owfier]

I think there is something wrong here, I took 2 screenshots of my very slow time and once it said I was in the top 40 and the other time it said I was in the top 213.

EDIT: Never mind I just looked at the amount of seconds I was behind, and the screenshot with 40 shows my time for my car and the other one is for the fastest time in general.

 

[Dama_The_Crow]

It stays 213 sometimes at "Showing...Class Select" even when you switch to "Showing...Vehicle Select".

 

[kobusnell]

I find this challenging. Cannot get a proper lap set. Best first sector has been 0.2 seconds faster, best middle sector has been 0.1 faster, best last sector has been 0.3 faster, but getting a clean lap is difficult! And I'm losing a lot of time in the last sector.

I enjoy it though! At least my "Menu-Restart Session-Start" sequence times should rival the best

 

[Cluck]

I find this challenging …. I enjoy it though! ...

That's all that matters

 

[Cluck]

The top 3 in the OP has been updated this afternoon.

@SBart_uk has popped himself into the top spot on a custom setup, with your truly just behind in P2 and @Hujkis currently sitting pretty in P3, both using a default setup.

 

[Cluck]

Just did a sloppy 1m01.701s lap. There's a very low 1m01.6 to come, in default setup, heaven only knows what's possible with a custom one.

 

[SteveO916]

I got a 1.05.641, <4secs of the WR, as the slowest person ever to race in a league i'll take that.

(i didn't realise the car had kers. I don't know what it does and I don't have a button mapped for it anyhoo....)

[Owfier]

Nooooooooooooooo i was about to set a 1.02.1 when i hit the pit speed limiter insted of kers lol ohh well 1.02.8 for now will do

Wait? there is kers on these cars?

I think I'll need to do some more laps again.

Great @Jonno, now everybody knows

 

[Owfier]

Now that I used my kers I was able to do a 1:04.378 that is 0.222s faster than my previous lap. Happy enough with this.

 

[Owfier]

Top 5 are all rsr now..

Tell me your secret in the ways of going fast.

 

[Antony Brown]

1:03.901 for me at the moment.

 

[Hujkis]

OK, I'm done with default setup. I've hit my skill limit.
Hats off to @Cluck, that time is truly incredible.
