Not sure where to find the extra five seconds I need to be competitive. #setupsaremynemesis

I found tyre pressure and slip settings to be a big impact on this track. maybe start there. managed a 2.06.895 from just my first night of toying around with the setups.

Project Cars Monthly Challenge

I thought i would share my setup for this months Project Cars Challenge. Hopefully this might encourage more players to join in the fun as the whole setup procedure can be a bit daunting for peeps who have never tinkered with setups before. Feel free to copy and/or tweak. . edit: this is a time trial setup. for racing add more fuel and open the brake and engine radiator ducts otherwise youll run out of fuel and/or have overheating probs.

Well 2:17:703, definitely NOT a beginner track
Had a 20-30 min run, and that's only my second valid lap

Cheers Bonkers - took a couple of seconds off my previous best!

everyone running the same setup would actually be a fun challenge.

it looks like the setup from projectcars setups with the "2:06: min lap" profile.

Might have to change it's name. I'm 2:08 lol

edit - yes a control setup for a secondary challenge would be fun.

Shame we cant have 2 records on list. one with default setup and one with custom.
Default makes things interesting across the board for everyone.

Wouldn't work sadly as the official time trial boards counts all setups and configs for the same track.

I know. Thats why I said its a shame it couldnt be done. Even when i did nothing but change steering ratio to make it manageable with my wheel, it become a custom setup.

Could always have two challenges. The difficulty will be finding a track/car combo that nobody has a valid time on already and then well I think we can all be honest.

That is the only issue and all it boils down too, "honesty". It's why the challenge is the way it is.

At least this way I can blame my setup instead of my average driving



Bathurst time above

Also Warchild have a crack at this for a default setup challenge. I gave it about five or ten laps till I lost a wheel..
Oulton Park Island. Maclaren 12C GT3 I'm pretty sure it's not a DLC car and none of us have a valid time there yet. (well obvs I do now.)

Sure thing, ill give it a go.

The other thing to keep in mind guys is that I don't hand pick cars and tracks they are all randomly chosen through lists on random.org.

No complaints about that. My only request would be to ignore sprint tracks. I hate them with Fury!

 

[Korreborg]

Sprint tracks? I think I will give it another go some time this weekend

yeah basically point to point. Last one was more like offroad racing on ashpalt.

Hmmm. im wondering if the weather can be randomised for our time trials. Would be interesting to see how we all got on in wet conditions. RE this months challenge. i know ive a sub 2:06 in the tank somewhere...all about not mucking up and going like a bat outta hell. Time to put nitros in the tank me thinks. tee hee.

I'm not sure you can actually use weather in timetrial... I'm up for an all weather race though.
