Time Trial Discussion

[JRFrench]

Chris, I know it’s easier said than done as we aren’t in your shoes, but the vast majority of the responses to you have been constructive so try not to take it in a negative way if you can. You have been given a lot of advice from a wide range of people to try and help you improve your times.

People have started to question some of the things you say as to be honest they often don’t make sense or are quite clearly not correct. It comes across like you are posting for the sake of posting and just plucking something out of thin air that isn’t relevant.

I think most would agree that we can sympathize with your personal struggles and are probably just a bit concerned as to how much time you spend every day on the time trials and this forum as it’s not sustainable in the long run for your wellbeing.

If you are able to strike a better balance for where you are spending your time and approach the time trials with a different mindset, you may find that you’ll see positive changes in both your lap times and in your personal life

Hi everyone,

I used to post a lot on here for the livery competitions, I should have known there was a time trial group too. Having taken a break from GT7 I came back and have got into the TT races (I love me a good TT format) I had managed about 25 golds in a row (and about a million miles of trying) until I hit the Porsche at the Nordschliefe challenge a few weeks back, have got back on it since then and seeing how you guys all seem friendly I thought I'd drop a note.

I'm on a pad and while I used to be a bit of a demon on Dirt Rally, Driveclub, old GTs and the like I'm older now and getting a bit creaky so if I post a lap up don't laugh

I'm working on Golds at the HSR, Bathhurst and Laguna atm having managed to scrape in a Gold for the recent Trial Mountain TT, here's my Suburu @ Nordwand effort for anyone interested

Welcome back!

 

[ZEE]

Tackled the Porsche one again and imporved my time alot , yes wooho!

I think I can get into GOLD territory with enough attack and practice! LFG!

Weekend!
I tried to find the old Clio I used for a Titans' race at RBR a while ago to do my first laps at Bathurst. At least it's more fun than the CE in the Mc Laren was 😅

 

[Manicuk]

Struggling to improve on this but I so want a 31…..

@Tidgney top video, I shaved a further second off my time after watching that 👌👌

 

[Homestead]

Some more time shaved off. I’m shooting for sub 31 but optimals showing 3 tenths more

Here is my lap time for the Clio/Mount Panorama combo, so I'll make my relevant contribution for this (great) thread.

The game says I have a high 32 possible, but I don't know if I'm going to chase it.

1.01.989 at the HSR, by the skin of my teeth into Gold, I doubt it'll stay there and will no doubt have to have another go but for now, I need a break from these walls

 

[zjn]

Hopefully something is starting to move in spa

This is with asm on, but to be honest I'm not sure if it was placebo or not.
Will give another try over the next days

 

[nowcontrol]

This was fun........

Sticks / AT / Chase Cam

 

[skydragon49]

A small improvement at Mount Panorama.

 

[Dolph Drago]

A decent time, but I'm still disappointed because of an invalidated 1:30.872 (would have been an exact tie with @AdxRE) after I ever-so-slightly brushed a wall in sector 2. 😭

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Second run in the Clio after a brief go last night. Looking for another 2 tenths I think

 

[Lomic]

Done a lap with the Clio last night but MP is a bit too hilly for my VR "skills" at the moment, I'll wait to be back home on the big flat screen.

 

[Gogga]

I have yet to set a lap in any of the current time trials. Just no time at the moment. Not a single lap at Spa, HSR or Bathurst
I am suffering from Time Trial withdrawals. I need my hot lapping fix.

I'll be back.

Happy Hunting Guys!!

 

[Ed_Night]

Lost 3 tenths untill the 2nd split against my previous best, but had an great Downhill part. 😁
I was sure to hit the wall at the hairpin, but i got through there somehow. 🤔😂

So 11 days left of trying to get a 2:29... 🤪

Can we have an anti-doping control on certain (German) player?

Bathurst is giving me superpowers. 😌

Don't forget to inform your friends in other planets.
And if something occurs there's always the traditional method 😁

Finally found time to play. AMG TT is amazing, thanks PD (and AMG) for it.
Hope to find more time to have more than one session only.

 

[KK78]

Improved my time a little on the HSR in the Porsche to a 1.01.864 and clearly there’s more time to find as I really messed up turns 3 and 4

 

[KK78]

Bathurst seems a lot more straightforward for me than the HSR, for now at least, with a 2:33.690



Also I knocked up a rally throwback livery for the Clio if anyone is interested

I’m gonna send out some friend invites to you guys, my friends leaderboard in game is a bit empty as several of my mates don’t play GT anymore, no pressure to accept of course 👍

Accepted! Even though you seem fast!

I think I must have given you my mindset some how 😂 I've been like this with the TTs for a while now.

G29 is getting set up at my gaming PC desk tomorrow along with the PS4 being moved there too, see how it feels from pad the wheel with the new physics.

Question for the Clio TT, seems that everyone is saying it is a pretty easy one to gold, but how come so mamy people are really high up on the leaderboard? If loads of peiple are golding it with really good times then surely others should be dropping down the board 🤷🏻‍♂️ everyone seems to be 1-1000 on this one.

Looks like it's a GTP gold leader board only 😂

 

[KK78]

Accepted! Even though you seem fast!

Thanks 👍

You didn’t see me on Trial Mountain reverse and at Red Bull Ring in the last few weeks, really not fast

The ease of golding is related to the time, not the rank. You need to be within 3% of the top time, regardless of how many people do it.

Back on the first page! I push a bit too hard in the last 2 sectors....could probably gain another 10th or 2 🫠

You have so many trophies 😱

I will populate the bottom of your friendlist. (And I'll have to go on page 3 to find myself on my friendlist 🤣)
