how do i get into a time trial, as opposed to a normal race? Also im using the rookie pontiac, i heard this does not improve my rating, is this true?
I'm going all road-racing open wheel in this game, how fast can i get into the stock racer ford, even in a time-trial capacity? (I know its closed wheel, but you know what i mean)
Already paid for the Skip Barber F2000 and Star Mazda. Currently wasting time testing the Formula Mazda instead of getting better with the lame pontiac, Grr... Its so much fun!
The time trials are accessed on the far right of the sessions page. They generally run every 2 minutes and are solo runs. You have to string together a series of incident-free laps, so no dropping wheels. The qualifying sessions are just like open practice sessions only safety rating counts and your best lap gets you a better spot on the grid.
If you do nothing but time trial and qualifying (qualifying generally has higher safety rating gains) you'd probably get high enough for the Spec Racer in a few hours. It takes a while. It really is best to do races, even if you finish at the back. I think it would be a really good idea to learn to race it, though. You'll get there faster by doing races and then qualifying in between. The higher you get the closer the racing gets, and it really is a very good trainer.
You do not gain iRating (your skill rating) as a rookie. It shows up when you're D class.
