AMS Time Trial of the Week

Jimlaad43 · Jun 29, 2016

Post times, share setups and tips, fill up some leaderboards!

The Time Trial feature on AMS allows users to post times at any tracks and compare it to other drivers around the world. The setups thread for AMS is quite bare, and hopefully if this takes off we can start posting the winning setups there to improve the game for all users.

How does this work?
Choose the selected car of the week in the Main Menu. Click on Time Trial and load up the track of the week. Once in, feel free to play around with the setups as much as you like and post some laptimes. The scoreboard in game will automatically update. When you are done, post here your laptime, and either share your setup and tips, or ask for help.

To start off, we will only use Reiza default cars and tracks, but we may move into mods in the future.
Voting forms for next car and track.

Thank you very much!

Re. the Formula 3 and set up:

Even in the junior formulae, driving skill alone is not enough, so you must know how to get the most out of your chassis. At that skill level, you can probably gain a second per lap through skillful driving, but lose three times as much by setting up the car incorrectly.

Few laps in ... and i got a 48,1xx in velopark with Gaugo's setup and quick learning his tips

..and there is some tenths still hanging somewhere

So thank you again.

Since when did we move to F3 @ Velopark? I haven't updated the combo I must admit, but that was never the focus of this thread so far.

Jimlaad43 · Jul 14, 2016

Next Time Trial (which is a crap choice)
Supertruck @ Cascavel Truck

OPERATOR · Jul 14, 2016

SuperTrucks are the only reason I actually purchased the sim.....Best choice so far

The default set with increased steering lock is capable of 1:17's

OPERATOR · Jul 14, 2016

TimOGlock must have glitched the TT because as far as I can tell a 58:810 is impossible... This is his lap from June.

OPERATOR · Jul 14, 2016

For anyone that hasn't got a chance to watch a SST race its pretty entertaining.

P*Funk · Jul 14, 2016

Gotta love Supertrucks. The day their goal cleared the Indiegogo campaign I was quite giddy.

I think it would be better if you just chose the combination rather than a few people voting.

45 people choosing Supertruck is not something I can disagree with

Jake Fangio · Jul 14, 2016

Not my choice perhaps,but it will introduce me to something new.So that's a positive I suppose.I will give this a bash in the coming week.

It's your thread you can do what you want

Seems a bit odd, I didn't realise there were 45 people interested in this or did 1 person vote 45 times? Only drove these for about 5 minutes so far but did watch Niels talk and drive video so will probably have a go.

I'm sorry that we used this thread for that info. Trucks and cascavel it is! ☺

Tim O'Glock · Jul 15, 2016

Here is my setup for the Supertruck. I increased the rear ARB to keep the front wheels from lifting off the ground and moved the weight to the back for maximum traction. I set the packers to maximum at the front and minimum at the rear. This allows you take the jumps flat out. Good luck.

Really glad these trucks don't race in the UK. What a waste of a perfectly good racetrack

No idea if it's by accident or design but you can get away with not taking the jumps at this track although the space to the left of the ramps that can be used without getting an off-track is only just wider than the truck. I managed a 1:18.739 not taking the ramps. Just thought I should own up to that as I am not usually one for exploits.

P*Funk · Jul 15, 2016

Oh look at the motorsports snob poopooing these mighty machines.

You should report the jump exploit to Reiza.

Not a racing snob at all. I'm off tomorrow to Castle Combe for a club race meeting. Just think these trucks are *way* better off-road which is what they are designed for after all. I see they have them on the bill this weekend with the Indycars in Toronto and they look pretty ridiculous trundling around.

I just posted it in the Reiza forums.
