Demo lap times!

[Mitja Bonca]

What times are you guys doing on the single demo track?
I did 1.22.4!

Hi Mitja, nice to see you here

 

[Ingo Voellinger]

I didnt judge, i saw it.
But if you show me a replay, i am happy to take this back.

The fastest players in my last online races take the chicane before the second straight almost flat and drive over this green surface (whats this? looks a bit like water!).
Some of them posted times here, thats why i wanted to adress this.

 

[Richard Hamstead]

Who posted the times here?

I've seen people cut online but normally they're slow drivers and even when they do they still can't do better than low 24's!

Unfortunately my replay didn't record properly, but here is the recording for my entire session when I was setting high 21's (not a super quick time I know, but just to prove my innocence).

More importantly, how do these times compare to the actual STCC cars around this track?

Rekord: 1.21.203

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

In may this year the fastest lap in quali was 1:20.4, by a BMW.

I never understood how can it be that some guys can go much faster than real pole position times.. Also the real race drivers said that it's much harder for them to do their laptimes in-game because of the lack of forces they feel in real life.

But I don't care about this, still very much drivers I can compete with Usually they're quicker than me on qualifying though, so I think I know where I should improve first!

The main reason people go faster in sims then in real life on the same track / car is because the length off the tracks might be just that couple of meters shorter, not 99% accurate and accurate grip as well as the cars themself too. There isn't that many if any tracks that have 99% accurate length and grip, so it's always hard to judge real lap times with sim lap times.

Lol, i think the main reason is that you can push 100 procent in an online car and in real life you always have the fear to:

1. **** yourself when you go too fast
2. Wreck the car and have to pay for the damage yourself
3. Loose your life when you crash into the pitwall

LOL...!!!!!
Bram, that was brilliantly said....LOL

I did 1.23.7!

 

[Mikkow]

Some more things to keep in mind to explain mismatched laptimes from reality and simulator:

1. The real drivers didn't have as much time, nor being free of risk, to make a perfect lap. Even changing setup settings take longer in real life.

2. Might have been colder, a bit moist/damp etc on the track at the time.

3. The simmers might be cutting in ways not allowed 100% in reality.

4. The simmers are not affected by distracting G-forces, vibrations and excessive noise (even though some is a disadvantage).

 

[Mitja Bonca]

I did 1.20.720 yesterday! But better don`t tell this to Greger (he for sure can go faster).

 

[Ingo Voellinger]

I have seen somone do a 1:16.1 yesterday!
He was 3 times in the grass in this lap, maybe he used a cheat or it was a bug?

 

[Richard Hamstead]

A 1:16.1? That's an unbelievably quick time if that is a legitimate lap time.

 

[Mitja Bonca]

LOL, a low 1.20 or a very high 1.19 is possible. But not more with these kind of cars.

 

[Ingo Voellinger]

The question is how is it possible if it is impossible?
This player could have done even better but he made 2 big mistakes in the lap after and it was only a 1:17.

Cool, so the quick guys round here are in the right ball park then.

Can't wait to get hold of this game. Waiting for mine to be sent when in stock at Megastore

 

[Péter Bártfai]

1:22.664 this time! I don't know how I improved this much (1:23.989 was the last one), I didn't even practice a lot since.
