I just set up a TT to look at this. Having done a lot of laps over the last two week, the TT combo feels very different to the TT Event. More traction, more grip, not surprised you've got a better time.
You did singleplayer timetrial or you did it online lobby?
You cant choose equal conditions/no wind in singleplayer tt. Grip reduction real or week? Right tire? Blank setupsheet?

Here's a setup that an Australian driver Jester made, I used it myself to execute a 6'46.5 lap.

Only difference in the images I've uploaded is I altered the LSD to 5/30/25.

Edit: Added an image of the engine tuning parts installed. Enjoy the tune!

Call me crazy but the only pattern I've seen so far is you're better on DS4 than Dualshock. I don't think anybody else has said anything of the sort? I'm faster on Dualsense than DS4. It seems anecdotal.
Honestly, i pretty much dont care what YOU say. U still think the dualsense is on the same state like release. YOU didnt notice the inputlag improvements and all the changes and you try always to be against it.
So please please please with a lot of sugger on top, dont compare youre expiriance with mine…

Yeah because I think your controller is broken lol

What were the exact track conditions for the Event?
Have the online lobbies been sorted as the grip levels have always been variable.

Afternoon/cloudy and sunny/equal condition on /gripreduction real/tracklimit penalty weak
Bop on/medium tire.

Right, so I tested it now.

As far as I can tell, there's no difference between PS4 and PS5 version. Only the controller might feel slightly better on PS4(?) but that's a personal preference since I've used the DualShock for longer than I have the DualSense.
And that slightly makes on a track with 72 corners a diffrent.
Thanks for testing it 👍🏻
 
I'm looking at a Gold time of around low 6:53s or high 6:52s... At the end of this TT.

I really either have to up my game or really find a propper tune. Tried yesterday with a custom tune of mine, and the car was undriveable, I had to correct it at almost every single corner, entry or exit, and barely managed a 7:00.xxx time.
I swear that during each lap I had to use my left thumb thousands of times just to make the car controllable.

I can't set a good time, I'm too busy trying not to crash!

Interesting watching the top times, the car looks so good.

The sectors after the carrousell I start to lose bravery just to not f* up the "good" lap I'm setting. This is going to be a tough one.

What's a good tune here to try? I've tried TheKie's but his was arguably worse than mine, too understeery. Got to give him props for being able to set a 6:54 and controlling that car with his tune...

Yes. But at least you are there.🍻

But seriously, PD could have considered that:
1. Nordschleife attracts Aliens
2. which produce massive time gaps
3. especially on Nordschleife
4. which causes frustration in the playerbase

5. Damnit. I'll try it anyway😆
I’m there now but that’s borderline and I fear it’s not going to last. Nordschleife isn’t the issue, it’s the tuning. Everyone is no longer equal, like in previous time trials, which is the big charm of them.

My PlayStation is off now so I can’t check right now but if we compare the percentages in Nordschleife Circuit Experience they differ to this. I’ll humbly accept TT/CE defeat when it’s the same for everyone. I’ll go back and do some comparisons there later when I’m back.

I tried kie’s first as well and it doesn’t suit me at all. What @NekoPufferPPP posted earlier felt quite good but I just did a 53’86X with this one here.
 
Tried Kie's tune and I liked it a little better than the previous one. I lengthened 3rd gear a little bit as there were a few turns I needed some more gearing to avoid up-shifting into 4th, then having to downshift back into 3rd. I also installed the bore-up that I had in won through a roulette in the past. Having that bit of extra torque I think helped a lot in short shifting coming out of turns.

I was able to get my time down to 6:57.574 so almost a 2.5" improvement from before but still 2.7" off the current gold time. I am still not too hopeful of getting gold, honestly, but I am much more confident in keeping silver.

I am going to try Jester's tune next.
 
Second good session ended up nicely into silver, but there are seconds to win on my lap, plus I'm on the advantage console 🤣.
Even with the supposable advantage it's still god damn hard to drive a flawless lap 🤣
And if the PS5 controller has been nerved and is proven to be slower than the DS4 I feel for you guys 🤣, but don't worry from my side, on me it wouldnt make any difference, I'm glad if I end up in the 6:57/58 with the time I have to practice

Just tried Kie's and Mistah MCA's, struggled for control on both. Edit to add, Lester's set-up is more forgiving. I need to work out how to change so I can be more confident and actually push. I've got a "safe" silver, I need to go much faster to get near a gold.
