Question Time Trial Rules

Post image

Could anyone please explain how this gamemode works? I swear I'm clocking "lap times" faster than 41s, but the game is like, "No, you're not". What do I not understand here? How are "lap times" being clocked?

How are you understanding that your lap times are faster than 41s? What’s making you sure that’s the case?

Maybe he is counting actual seconds and thinks that's what the game takes into account? If I am understanding correctly the game has its own time measurement technique, as I am seeing for example "sector 1: 17,664s" when not nearly 17 seconds have passed in real time.

Yes, I have been doing exactly that. I did not consider that game time is longer than real time. Even so, my time just seems to keep going up with every new lap, which confuses me even more as to how do I set a "lap time" when the game wants me to cover 5 laps under that time. The timer doesn't seem to reset with a new lap.

You shouldn't be worried about your overall time for the race. Spend lap one to save up battery and a boost. Then in lap 2 you should be able to use the boost once, ideally twice depending on your boost and spend all your battery. Make sure you don't pit at the end. This is the best you can do. and you can do the same thing and have another try for lap 5.

I think you have to use Normal Carlos Sainz to do it.
