Week 4 of season 2 is up and active. This time it’s a bit of a longer track, but also with a faster car with long high speed stretches.
The setting has snow, as requested by @murfle but is overcast so there shouldn’t be the glare from the previous course (you all do know that I put the glare in on purpose don’t you ). There also isn’t rain.
Nice fast track. I know the car wants to slide when you put down the power, try to control it. I know it seems like drifting is fast but it’s not. If you’re sliding you’re not putting power on the road.
The main thing I saw was watch out for these rocks.
Rather than Re-editing my previous post I rather just make a new one.
My rundown of the course…
On the first stretch, try and stay as straight as you can, even though the road weaves, such that you end up to the left of the road ready to turn right…
Then you have another right and another left with rocks, easy does it, then there’s a right that you can cut across quite a lot before you head past the barriers up the hill…
Up the hill this last corner is my nemesis. Very tricky controlling the car not to drift around it and the walls of snow are right there ready to pounce…
I’d like to try man, I really would. My competitive instinct is kicking in and making my foam at the mouth and my eyes twitch when trying to exercise restraint. Let’s see what transpires tonight and if I can better my time… If I don’t I’ll commit to not doing another lap this week so you can take second place. Until @DieGrootHammer comes in of course…
So, I turned off the camera shake. Literal game changer, as it was much easier controlling the car. I dropped 2 seconds on my time in like 2 laps. So 1 second to go to try and dethrone @Entity. But I loose you on that very first corner. You’re just too fast out that first corner. The rest I can make up time, especially with the first red corner. But the damage is done and you stay ahead.
Everyone is putting up great times. Amazing driving skills all round.
I can feel you all breathing down my neck, so I suppose I shouldn’t tell you all that on the exit of that first red I actually hit the wall, unless you’ve seen it already. There’s a window to get 1st. I don’t think I’ll get a chance to better my time.
