Hot Lap and Pace Setter modes

[Ridicol]

I haven't seen anyone post this but most of the Hot Lap and Pace Setter have some obscenely difficult lap time requirements, can't even get near the top lap time.

Spent almost all my money trying different cars and upgrades, nothing made me fast enough to pass the best and second best time requirements.

The group E ones where ok, but the group D and C ones are making me feel like these times where set by Hamilton or Verstappen.

Pretty clear no one play tested these times. I can get the best time requiring some finesse, but you literally have to be a top 5% player to nail even the SILVER times. Nevermind the GOLD times, which seem like they need a leaderboard car and a top 1% driver. Super annoying.

We can't even test upgrading cars because the game is so stingy with money. 10 hours in and I'm only getting 9k per level up, it's pitiful.

I agree, on the rivals mode I'm consistently gold 2 or 3 and in multiplayer i'm finishing in the top 3 almost every time apart from when i make a big mistake.

These requirements need to change, the career mode needs to be able to be finished by most of the player base especially in the starting group modes.

They are doable but only with some particularly better cars. Sometimes that can even mean only cars upgraded from lower classes. I'm pretty sure a bunch of these lap times are just impossible to get with some cars. Either these times were not properly tested or this is just absurdly bad design.

If you're going to make Hot Lap times so tight, give us a preset car for the event like in Shift 2. Otherwise, if the hot lap is open to all cars, then at least make it so that even the worst car in the class is able to reasonably clock those times.

Doing that last thing would mean the game becomes easy. That's not what we want..

I came here to try and find a way to change the difficulty of it. Is there any way to do that?

In my opinion, the lap times is perfect in the E, D classes (C is too easy). They require at least some effort to complete. Don't you have any fun trying to find a way to complete these tasks? I spent about an hour testing different cars and setups. And it was fun.

But as it is you have no idea what car is actually capable of hitting those times. So you have to buy cars at random and upgrade them to see if they are capable of going that fast. Rinse and repeat. That's not really hard, just time consuming.

What car did you use for the Road D ones. I could only get "silver" with an upgraded GT86.

I've been using Skyline for almost my entire career. I tried to improve it through turbo, but it didn't work well. After the tests, I improved its handling (improved the suspension to the maximum and reduced the weight as much as possible), and was able to complete all the tasks on the first attempt. In the car setup, I made a negative front toe ~ -0.3 and soften front ARB, otherwise there was too much understeer.

The version with improved handling was 1-2 seconds faster than the turbo version.

I tried with a Skyline without any luck, but I didn't spcifically upgrade it for hot laps. Do you still have the same upgrades, or is it different now?

I decided to keep it for D class.

Tyres: LVL 2
Brakes: LVL 2
Weight reduction: LVL 4
Air intake: LVL 3
Camshaft: LVL 2
Transmission: LVL 3
Suspension: LVL 4
Total: 399 PIR (If I didn't make a mistake anywhere, of course)

Setup
Front toe: -0.3
Rear toe: 0.1
Front ride height: 105
Rear ride height: 95
Front ARB: 75
Rear ARB: 40

I do not know if this will help you, but I like this setup very much, and I have no problems with it.

In E class, I remove the weight reduction, because I want to be able to adjust the suspension.

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

It was fast, but I still couldn't break 13 minutes. So I still only have silver in the Road D events...
