I'm in the same canoe, nearly same times and all. Found it better to post faster laps just chillin'This is such a weird race for me, I keep going back to it, but I'm not making any huge strides, just a few tenths here and there. The weirdest part is that I'll chill on the first lap, just trying to drive smooth and pull a 1:00.5xx, then the next 10 laps hammer it and not do any better. And I've done this 10 times at least, first lap is the fastest. Really, I'm done.
I totally understand what you mean. My first lap is usually the best one for me too. It's when I try so hard to lower my time only to continue get slower. That's why once I gold a TT I don't usually go back. Granted I'm not in the same class of driver that you are but it does help me to know even the best have a similar problem. Keep up the good work.👍👍.This is such a weird race for me, I keep going back to it, but I'm not making any huge strides, just a few tenths here and there.

I try to compare both forms of playing the game from a competitive perspective, having in mind always the useful info that seasonal time trials give to this debate. The leaderboards shown in the video were taken from mygranturismo.net
There are some setups here. Be aware that's the thread for a previous incarnation of the same event so come back to this thread if you need to post again about this event. 👍
Does that mean I've got to have another attempt.......
Here's mine, it's not great but it'll give decent lap times. Not a fan of this track with 600pp race cars, just feels too tight and short but I'll take any excuse to sling the 2J around

Nice tune, And try it. But you guys are from another planetQuite a big improvement from last year, managed to join the '56 club(just), and can see alot more in it with a good lap.
Started out with my setup from last year and thought it was too snappy when on the throttle. Moved some settings towards what IOF racing suggested, car felt better in some corners, but had some very bad understeer in other corners and it felt slower overall. Moved on to hotsaucer's settings, wich is basically the same as my old one, but with more weight, and less LSD lock. this put me in the right direction, car felt very good, really fast, and I spent a long time with this, but after a while when I got used to the car, I started to feel understeer again, put on more rear negative toe (-0.35) and LSD accel. lock (14), this did the trick.
So in the end I had a car that was more violent and snappy than what i initially had, wich I thought was too snappy. Most of the time was definitely found with the radically increased weight. I think you can put on even more weight, and even more toe and LSD lock, and it will get even faster, just have to learn to handle it, as the car get more and more jerky.
