Time Trials 2019 - Round 02 - Mount Palomino

[doubleg213 746]

For those of you thinking "oh god not another slidey car" fear not, the next two rounds will feature mucho, mucho grip. 

The track is a mix of stunt track and original in-game tarmac with the layout very well built to run across the top of the gravel at El Burro Heights.

 

The only allowed car is the Schafter V12 which is available from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $116k or free if you had the game on PS3.

The car will also be used in a Race Club night on Friday 26th April and hopefully later on in an ongoing championship idea I have.

Special thanks to the creator LancerEvoWRC who modified the track specifically for us to eliminate the chance of people taking runups.

 

Sunday 28th April 2019 at Midnight (GMT) and (UTC).

The details for the Race Club night featuring the car are also up now.

Had a few runs this morning...

Definitely a very tricky combo. 

 

[doubleg213 746]

This round could definitely be suggested to be on the challenging side.

I haven't tried it yet but anything more than a speedway oval is challenging enough for me

[JuniorChubb 3,360]

Just run another few laps... getting better but still not got round clean yet.

[doubleg213 746]

I always have a preference towards tracks that are hard to nail a clean lap.

Even by my usual standards it's really become a much tougher challenge than probably anything we've run before.

Just a reminder, we are into the last weekend so you have until Sunday night to get those times in.

[CatManDoza 3,474]

Docked back in Southampton alot earlier than expected, so will hopefully try and get a better time in this afternoon

[doubleg213 746]

Had some issues today so not done results etc. yet.

I'll be on it early on tomorrow morning, just got in now as the Metro has been off so it's taken an eternity to get home.

G may give you a little leeway... 😉 

He has been known to have a friendly side, especially for first time offenders.

As long as it's not a recurring theme I will generally take late entries as long as I have not posted the results already. 

Repeat offenders tend to get no leeway, although there was only ever one instance of that, which was a VANS member, who submitted late for 3 rounds in a row, on the 3rd incident he received no time.

Cheers @doubleg213, I am not worried either way cuz I know I'm not on the same level as most peoples skills that are involved, so I will submit the time when I get home. If you post the results before then or if it is a pain to add mine it is what it is and I am good with it cuz it is my fault anyway. 

[doubleg213 746]

It won't be done till the morning now, as I wasn't back from Uni till nearly 8pm and I was up at 4:15 this morning as I am ill. 

Currently working on a report I need to get finished.

 

[doubleg213 746]

Results are done, apologies for the delay. I have been ill and also had quite a bit of work on as well as some studying so it's been mental over the last few week or so.

@Manny made it 2/2 with a time 0.6 seconds up from @Bkmoto28. @Trashbags finished in 3rd spot with his first ever podium, which I know he will be delighted with. He will also seal a place in the roll of honour/hall of fame as a podium finisher as well. Heady days!

Despite the offers to allow a late submission @Hatch still failed to submit a time, if his lap showed the same kind of urgency as his time submission skills that may have been for the best!

If you weren't in the top 3 then check out the link below to see where you came.

FULL RESULTS HERE

 

I will have championship tables uploaded this evening when I get back from Uni and hopefully should have the next round up this evening as well, if not it will be tomorrow. I can normally work around Uni and my work, but the illness has slowed me down somewhat.

[Trashbags 1,203]

Very happy indeed and in the hall of fame it's a good day today 

[CatManDoza 3,474]

bloody fair play trashy!! I think I am now officially the whipping boy of time trials!!!

[Rigstig 16]

That was a tricky one think I need to get back to practicing 

[JuniorChubb 3,360]

Great show @Trashbags, I was just happy to break 1:30 in the end. Defo need to out in more effort next time.
