Into the 16s now, 2 tenths off the top. There's more time on the table for sure.

I'm fine with crashing. If it works, it works.
Btw, you can get well out in front of Lisa on the first corner by not crashing too. It's staying ahead is the problem ![]()

Every time I come on I knock another couple hundredths off but nothing significant.

I assume the ghost car I'm seeing (certainly not chasing as it's just too fast) is Lisa's. I need to try and stop the car sliding when I'm going fast into the corners as that's where I'm losing time. I lose at least a second or two in the corners after the bridge. Lisa seems to fly through those corners lol
Excellent driving from her though |

Yeah all going well with servers you get top player ghost (we call it lisa) and your own top lap of the session You started, sometimes also your last lap car.

I'll try again this morning but I was struggling to put in a faster time than the 1:18.8 that I managed.
I'm hoping that we get an update for DC that allows us to download and/or watch a replay of other players laps (like we can with Trials Fusion). It would be good to be able to sit and watch how the fastest lap was done. How much speed was carried into corners and so on. Respect to Lisa B for going from a 1:16 something to a 1:14

Realistically she's carrying too much speed into corner before tunnel and smashing it. I don't seem to gain by trying this. Not sure what she does rest of course now.

I meant to ask earlier, is there a limit on how many times we can try a challenge, for instance, no more than 50 attempts. it would make it a bit more competitive, now that we're racing for points in the league. what do the others think. 50 attempts max to set ur fastest time ?. |

I'm just behind your time now. I'm gaining half a second going over the bridge but end up losing it in the corners immediately after that. it gets frustrating after a while lol

We did this track maybe two weeks ago, the other direction, with a different car. The way the track is, you need to carry great speed from the last two corners into the next lap. You need to pass the line over 130mph whereas if you press pause and restart, you only start the lap at, say 120mph. Then take a point to point challenge. You always start the lap from 0mph. They don't require you to carry speed from the previous lap into the ne t one. So whenever something goes wrong everyone restarts the lap but this isn't counted as an "attempt" So for some circuit tracks we end up with loads of attempts but on most tracks, it looks like we only try it about 5 times which is always wildly inaccurate, just because the game doesn't count restarts as attempts. |

I know it works for lisa but surely that's 100% throttle and brake rather than having a feeling for slight touches.
Just got off challenge to notice a few chasing down my position. I'm running consistently around the low 1:18s every single lap. I can't really think what else to try to gain the 2.5s lisa has on me. It's the whole tunnel section and speed carried over bridge I'm losing it. I can also get 2 of 3 sections green but never same 2 and can't get 3. |

I was husting Lisa on a 16 flat yesterday and I was on a 16.8. Was feeling my way around the track hunting for a few tenths thinking I could pop in a high 15 when she banged a 14 in! Don't think I can match that so might settle for (hopefully still) 3rd.
When does the challenge end? Re. the double right after the bridge, I go to the middle of the track then unsettle the back end on turn in, drift round and make one apex out of the 2 rh corner, then brake hard once, just skim the wall on the left and punch out. Seems to be as fast as any of the ghosts I've raced. |

You guys have some serious focus and attention spans, I get a bit fed up with the challenges after 3/4 laps!!
Might have something to do with the seemingly impossible times I'm trying to get near, just don't have the dedication for it.My high point has been beating one of Lisas times last night on a tour event and I wasn't even trying that hard.......I'm sure Lisa wasn't either though! At least I'm top of my friends list on one event even if it does turn out to be shortlived. |

It's the whole tunnel section and speed carried over bridge I'm losing it. I can also get 2 of 3 sections green but never same 2 and can't get 3. I did legitimately set a 22.4 first sector once. I was getting angry at setting decent first sectors and finding loads more time in the final sector, but never in the same lap, so I took my anger out on the first corner instead after reading others were getting near my ghost with that method.

The challenges between friends is the main staying point for me on DC or I wouldn't bother playing the game to be honest.
Instead, I bought the season pass - the dlc and our challenges will keep me going for ages. (Unlike Lisa, I can take a while to complete a pack!) |

Should also be interesting if we get the private lobbies. See if we can get a few laps in that.

Damn it game is down just now. I can see I've been knocked back to 5th but don't know who by and nothing I can do about it.
Off out to clean my real car.

Getting away quickly is absolutely vital, getting caught up in the pack can cost you a whack of time. I'm looking forward to the possibility of some DS races.

Every time I go to play this game, the bloody servers are down! 😡 Cant remember the challenge I took part in. Haven't been able to play much the last fortnight due to busting my thumb but when I've tried, ive not been able to connect once. I'll not be able to take part in this one now either

I did say it was quicker to crash that 1st corner
I could prob get low 16s on this if I could work out that tightening left near the end (I just crash that one now as well), but top marks to Lisa's 1:14, just impossible for mere mortals.

All times are GMT. The time now is 09:40.






Might have something to do with the seemingly impossible times I'm trying to get near, just don't have the dedication for it.
