Use this thread for all your discussions pertaining to the weekly Time Trial event.

 

Start Location: Galileo Observatory

Finish Location: Mackenzie Airfield

Par Time: 02:04.40

Description: Complex time trial that takes you from the glamourous[sic] peaks of the Vinewood Hills to the grimey troughs of the Grapeseed shoreline. Sober up fast - there's no easy route.

Yay! Another ridiculously difficult time trial!

 

Well, I assume that the 'par' is Rockstar's best time... I'm glad they're difficult, personally. I'd hate for them all to be stupidly easy, first try no worries move onto the next one.

 

They do seem to be very vexatiously difficult but I suppose you've got a whole week to practice.

Should I use a bike? If so which one? I've got an Akuma and Hakuchou.

Does this replace the old one? I couldn't do that one was a few secs off every time lol.

Yes it does.

Yes, definitely use a bike. The Akuma, Hakuchou and Bati seem to be the best options.

Afraid it does, yes.

I'm considering using an Adder since this trial seems to have a lot of straights, I guess I'll try using my bikes and a few supers and see where that gets me.

 

The first trial was possible in a car but easier in a bike. But this one? I don't see a car being feasible. You need to cross over the desert and plains where there are rocks, trees, fences, trains, Zentornos, and Trevor to run into and send you flying arse-first out the windscreen. A bike is a lot more maneuverable in that kind of environment.

This one wasn't as hard as the Del Perro trial in my opinion. Beat the par time on my 8th attempt, as opposed to the 30th or so attempts on the last one.

Par Time: 2:04.400

My Time: 2:04.258

Vehicle Used: Sh!tzu Hakuchou

 

So I just went on, and there's no time trial in sight?

For some reason, you need 2 or more players in your session for the Time Trial to appear.

As long as you're in a public server, it should be near the Observatory. Otherwise, restart?

They only appear in public lobbies? I've had it appear in invite only before.

Looks like this one's starting point is wide-open enough, and the land route is twisty enough.

 

Will anyone test the theoretical Cargobob method with a friend and tell us the results?

I was under the impression you need a minimum number of players for it to spawn. It didn't appear for me in an invite only, but I could be the exception.

I can't test it because I don't have any friends but you drop into Passive Mode when you begin the trial, detaching yourself from any Cargobobs.

What platform are you on? I can help.

I didn't find the first time trial that difficult. I was on track to do it in my first try and I screwed up the last corner at the dam haha, smacked into the fense.

 

I like this new addition, and I like that it presents a bit of a challenge, that's what's all about.

These time trials really do put into perspective how terrible I am at racing. I've been trying over and over non-stop for the last like hour, hour and a half and the closest I've gotten is 4:08.

I can offer some tips if need be, since you helped me last time around. :)

1) Use the Hakuchou, as it's the best for the wheelie trick to build speed.

2) Ride down that hillside at the beginning that has a stunt jump over the road and onto the bicycle path. When you reach the bottom of the hill, cut through the grass on the left side of the hill, and get onto the road leading to Sandy Shores.

3) Wheelie and lean forward as much as you can, keeping alert for traffic and pedestrians.

4) Turn onto the left side road leading to MacKenzie Airfield and gun it, dodging traffic.

5) Ram through the fences at the end that block the finish checkpoint.

 

Here's a map I made to help you.
