Time Trial Discussion

[Gogga]

Oh good, LM55 part two... 😴

I'm sure for most it will be a quick gold and back to Trial Mountain and Spa.

Edit: not forgetting RBR

 

[TumeK5]

you can see I made one more effort with the MT and you see how that went, down south

Although it wouldn't have helped your chances your silver, you could've short shifted and gained a lot of time...

 

[Meythia]

My placement was not the best, i was ranked 77,946th at Eiger, so a majority of players were faster than me,

Without people forming the end of a line, there cant be people in front of the line.
As much as it propably might hurt ones own pride, but realistically recognizing the own limits and setting goals around them is much better than trying to shoot for the stars with a slingshot for a rocket.
One step at a time is faster than jumping and tripping, but tripping will still happen and is necessary.

 

[TumeK5]

So, let's try the guessing game again, shall we? I predict I'll be 34,726th at the end

 

[Chris30]

Well can you guys add me on your friends list. It won't necessarily help me go faster and improve but at least I can compare my times and figure out where I'm not gaining time. It would be a help and a start. Maybe I should go back to loading ghosts and follow them, I stopped doing that in March, so it's been 5 months. My PSN id is under my Chris30 name.

Nice!! The hardest part will be deciding which of my many 917 LL liveries to use for this one!

 

[Vule]

Ah yes, the 917 Living Legend of Understeer, nice.

What an absolutely terrible driving experience, I hate every single characteristic of this car. Never mind the time, I just hooked it up, barely, but I won't be returning here again

 

[Interemptor]

Thank god for a quick and easy TT this week 🙈 So now I should have some time on the weekend to focus on the RBR which i really wanna do but time is a b**** right now

I've also updated the opening post with the index of TTs and the second post with the community scoreboards.

They have really ramped up the difficulty recently.

Rally, wet, drifty, retro with little FFB! 😝

The Trial Mountain.....sorry Mountain Trial TT was hard because of it being a tough track to master in reverse. It's a fun track either way but am sure if the TT was in the typical route & not reverse one, I would've done much better as others too.

Almost 200 laps and nothing much

I know that I've said this before, because you're not one for actually heeding advice*, but what exactly are you learning by doing 200 laps with only yourself to compare your laps to?

You don't get faster just by spending more time, and you don't get better if you don't know where to improve. All you're doing is following yourself... for four hours.

Five or ten laps is enough to know where you are. Anything beyond that is a waste of time if you're not clear where you can improve and you don't get there by following yourself or by looking at other people's leaderboard times.

Find a ghost on your friends list that's faster than you by only a little bit. Set the ghost to reset at each sector and with a +0.3 or +0.4s offset. Follow it, to find out where it's gaining time on you, and improve until you're faster than it. Then find a new ghost that's a little faster than you and repeat.

And stop setting yourself unrealistic goals. You're not going to get three seconds faster on a 90-second lap. Especially not if you keep wasting time by not employing methods that will help you improve, or spending several hours a day posting inanities here and replying to posts without actually reading them*.


*For an example of both of these things, there's a dozen people telling you (and videos showing you) in this thread to short-shift the Impreza at Eiger. Did you do that? Nope, your video shows you revving it right out...

 

[crome]

@half_sourly Thanks as always! So, how do you handle RBR? TT93 or special event? If you say "special event" I'll stop pushing for top 100 immediately

 

[Tidgney]

The latest guide for you! It can be a bit annoying this one with the walls but a few accelerating markers and hopefully of some help!

 

[ZevZoq]

That makes sense. I don’t think PD can split it. We don’t want mileage to accrue because then there would be wear and tear, plus other variables.

Doesn't really make sense to me. I would like to have the hours I spend in the TTs added on to my overall stats in terms of time spent driving in the game. It shouldn't have anything to do with the individual car mileage - which are often rentals anyway.

It is TT93; that is the way I have treated the other World Series linked TTs. Keep pushing....

Hi guys (and Greek)

Apparently, we have to come back in Japan at HSR with the Porsche Legend (of understeer...).

On the @smoothbore12 scale of "How is easy to gold this TT", this one have a 8, meaning even GOD himself could gold it.
So, super very easy for 99% of us.

And indeed after only few laps with a ghost, I'm already in yellow territory. The WR was lighlty improved since but it should hold till the end.

@Gogga will notice the similar 2.53 and 253....

I don't have many expectations here, except joining the "1:01" Club just for the fun:

Once it'll be done, I'll go back to the Rocky Mountains.

Happy lapping, friends

Jumped back on and got close to my theoritcal, then beat my time again (1:00.464) and improved my theoritical. I think my gold estimate should now say 1:02.000 rather than .1 as my optimums is a 1:00.2xx but there's not much more than that in the lap in my opinion

Excellent time there!

You are taking it to another level, matching % to position and times to PP even

 

[Talon16]

Golded Eiger, yes! I did not enjoy that one and despite being close to falling out since the lowest time was set (Sunday was it?) my scrub time held.

...and like Dom said in the racer's bible movie...

Maybe we should take @TumeK5 's advice and stop yelling at the wall hoping it will break through 🤪

Soooo... what's up with this? Another TT available? I've nnot turned my PS5 on yet so just going by the website:

gran-turismo.com

Gran Turismo Official Website

www.gran-turismo.com

Also of note, according to the website the two RA272 TTs expire on 9/15 but within the game it says they expire on 9/1. I trust the game, but if you're not paying close attention just know you have less time than what the site says (I assume).

I haven’t been able to dig up anything about the AMG TT on their own website, so I guess we’ll have to wait for the announcement.

As for the Honda TTs, I’m pretty sure those two TTs’ results will remain in game for two weeks after it ends. You obviously won’t be able to set a time, but everyone will be able to see the final results in game without having visit the Sport Mode site.

 

[TumeK5]

@Famine Just out of curiosity, I checked, and the last time short shifting was mentioned (besides @NAXEHT to @Lomic and myself) was on page 991...

 

[SPOOLMAN]

1:01.293. Not bad for a second attempt.

How long before the Aliens get that time down to 58 seconds? 🤣

Time won't go below 60 seconds...as for how much it's above 60 seconds...I don't know.
