Time trail

[biaritz]

Do you do dozens of laps in time trail to obtain perfect driving skill? What's the most number of laps you've done, mines around 15, aiming for 50 laps per race course

there's people that spend 5-20 hours a WEEK on a single time trial, with a single car, on a single track. I personally usually do probabley 10-30 laps, and that's it

Max 20 laps. I get bored after that because its not an endurance race and I'm tired of running on the same 6 tracks.

Back when I actually had some top 10 times at HSR and London I was doing hours per car to get a top 10 time.

I think the highest time I have now is 20-something, but it was #6 (#1 American) when I put it up. I just got tired of it. It's alot of work.

i just did 30 laps with the blitz dunlop, my best lap was 1 minute & 12 seconds on HSR

25-30mins on average each car and track....... up to 45 if i really want to chase a top 5-10 time. I currently have around 140-150 Top 10 times, and around 370 odd Top 100's.

I dial in and real my set goals reasonably quick, i just cannot imagine doing hours on the same car and track..... that would kill the joy of the game quick smart for me.

And I can't imagine just tossing off a top-10 time in a few minutes. Most of us have to work a little harder for it. "Well it's half-time. Guess I'll go run a couple of top-10 times before the second half."

I can only do more than about 15 laps if I really like the car I'm driving - One example is the RX-8, I can happily drive it for about 50 laps on Suzuka...

 

[BonzoHarry]

I got down to 7th once on daytona oval, I finished in 9th place. But I probably did a hundreds laps or so, of course that's only like 45 seconds a lap.

I just got the game 3 days ago and I see myself turning into a GT addict.

I've been doing some time trials on high speed ring with various cars.

It only takes 5-8 laps before I get bored but I bet that with a wheel I could have fun for hours.

 

[mr_VOLCANO]

If I really like the car/track combo I can race 2hours before my hands gets tired.. I did a test on suzuka with rx7 after reading this thread, I decided to quit when I got a top 10, it took 20 min (6th place)

Sometimes I spend many many hours a week on a combo. Especially as I have recently changed from pad to wheel I have a lot of getting used to.

On WRS 24, Ferrari F430 at Eiger Nordwand I spent over 60 hours on that combo in the week. It was my first combo with a wheel and clearly after that much time I got the result I wanted and as an obvious by-product, have much less love for that car and track now

I really don't mind admitting that it takes me a very long time to reach my limit these days with the wheel. I am certainly not a 10-lap 20-minute superstar, but I'm an extremely determined person and I'll use all the time available to achieve what I want in this game. If I haven't lost interest in the last year, it ain't going to happen over a time trial

All the best

I spent around 40 hours on race 9 and 10 of the IFTC championship. I admit, that may have been a bit much.

But I normally spend between about 1-2 hours on WRS combos and EYS combos.👍

LOL... same... I spent many, many hours on the IFTC TT's

For a normal WRS I guess I spend about 3 hours total... though not in one sitting and never more than 20-30 minutes behind the wheel without taking a break.
