I've heard a rumour that if you stick this on the rear window of the Clio V6 and drive down the hill of Mount Panorama slowly you may be abducted.

Not fast, the people who do that have already been taken 😂

They already had a picture of @Evilmuffin there for some reason 🤣

 

[EbrahimX7]

Not sure about that, I think @EbrahimX7 does not play every TT. Don't know for @Metalgear9493

Yea. I dont do them all, just the ones that I think I will enjoy doing👍

I don't think you will enjoy any of the current TTs no need to try them 😉 🤣 (or even the next lot coming 😂)

 

[ikon_313]

Some further improvement. I can maybe squeeze a tenth or two out but probably not more. This combo is weirdly fun – on one hand the car feels boringly stable and on the other I ask myself how far can I push it?

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.

As far as the leaderboard ranking goes, I believe a lot of people usually at the top focus on the AMG trial right now. Surely most will swoop right back in shortly before closing time, but it doesn't seem there is much PB grinding going on in the other trials atm.

I get that, but what I mean is that the gold times that people are posting on this thread all seem to be in and around the top 1000 as if GTP has taken over all the top times on this TT.

Unless a lot of aliens haven't joined in yet.

Need an outlier?

I think I can do better than this. I threw away a low 36 at the last turn forgetting that this car is larger in the rear and spinning putting half a wheel in grass 😞

On the other side, back in yellow in HSR

Hi,

Still crazy busy at work and at home. Managed quite a few laps at the High Speed Ring in the underwhelming unicorn of understeer. Wrestled with it, to get the time down to a low 1:02:2xx. The level of precision required here is incredible! I know all of these time trials are hard to do and even harder to reach anything in the top 1,000 bracket but this is insane IMHO.

That last left hander is driving me around the bend - No pun intended! A millisecond too early or too late on the steering, the brakes or the throttle and the lap is scrap.

As ZJN has, ohhh so eloquently, illustrated above...

"On the other side, back in yellow in HSR"

2:75% and still outside the top 10,000!

Still... There are a few sessions left to improve. Watch this space as they say in all good car chase movies! 😳

Best regards to all here.

Ian.

 

[CarreraGT]

Keep the Bathurst TTs coming! Nailing a lap around here is just more satisfying than any other track.

I'm safe gold for now but suspect it will get a lot tougher!

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Getting closer to that sub 32 👀

 

[Chris30]

OMG, I'm almost at silver. This is easier than the TM Reverse and the RBR Group 3 wet trials we had a week ago. I do better with the slower road cars. I had a strong first Sector but the downhill section slowed me down as usual and cost me a little time, drat! Good grief, I wonder what Early_zigzag40's lines are, insane!

I was coasting through the turns and corners and was on a roll until Sectors 2 and 3. Ugh,

However this is the best I've done in any Bathhurst lap challenge.

Ok confession time, it wasn’t me who set my lap time it was these pair who did it 😻😻

Well they set a purrrfect lap time, they look tired now 😂

When you know the track so well that you can set your time blinded , it take the idea of alien to another level.

And, btw, we all know that cats are coming from an ancient civilization from somewhere in the universe

the first picture was when they saw my lap, they were loling at me and then they said I’ll beat that blindfolded 😂😂

 

[ScottPuss20]

Oh forgot about to post this....

Went for a day out with the wife (shopping 😅) and came across something.

I said to the wife, I need to take a picture of this and post it on GTP.....

The cat friendly abductions are real 🤣

Is this one of those "soo bad it's good" movies?

Cuties.

Anyway, I have good news and bad news. Let's start with the bad news. I don't know how but I dropped out of the gold bracket for the Red Bull Ring time trial, so I was only able to earn 1 million credits. What the hell? What did I do to deserve that? GRRRRRRRR this game stinks like a litter box sometimes. Now for the good news. I beat my brother on the High Speed Ring by a tenth! And I'm second on my friend's lap board! Meow meow meow baby!

I also had a crack at the other 3 time trials with varying levels of success.

Easy peasy

Want to talk about a daunting challenge? Well, this time trial has you covered. This will be a hard one for me - perhaps a bridge too far if I'm going to get gold. Still plenty of time left to get the reward though.

This one surprised me the most. I thought I'd get the gold time without too much hassle but I'm just not used to the grip. I raced here in ACC last week and the grip level was lower, so trying to convince myself that the car will stick is hard.

Good girl... 🐄 🐮

My Cliow saw on @Tidgney 's Youtube channel that gold would stand below 2:33.600. Yes, cows do watch YT!!!!
So, she asked me to go out for a morning ride around Bathurst. She is damned talented to find tenths, isn'it

S1: 24.202 - Still too slow here, 2 or 3 tenths are available
S2: 54.296 - Good but I've already scored below 54.0
S3: 39.340 - Good but many tenths are hidden here
S4: 35.755 - Much better even if I could be more brave

With 33.593, I consider the primary mission as completed. Now, it's time for fun
If I could stick 4 excellent sectors in the same lap, a sub 2:33 could be doable.

Compared WR lap on AMG TT with mine lap. I am usually losing approximately one tenth on pretty much every turn, depending on TT of course. So... Cork Screw whole FOUR tenth ! Shocking!

You could see it as a positive, as 4/10 offers a lot of room for improvement

Edit: meaning focusing only on one specific corner seems easier than multiple areas

Bathurst is giving me superpowers. 😌

You spelled Bratwurst wrong

 

[KK78]

Thanks to everyone who accepted my invites and to those who sent me one 🤘🤗 Now I have a much bigger list of people who are faster than me 😂 Helps motivate and improve though 👌

 

[P-Courty]

Moooove over @Pesselles there's a new Cleow in town and it's V6 is purrrring 😉

Bye bye 😂

Also had a couple of laps at HSR... No gold at first, I wonder why 🤔

Stupid me, I had IM tires on 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣


Went again, was much easier 😅

Hey man, I just got a great time at Bathhurst, 2'35.800. I think my silver is safe for now, and yes I will be honest, I used AT for the first time in 2 weeks, but a youtuber named sirdave helped me with his guide. I'm gonna keep pushing for gold. Did you send me a friend request yet? My rank is in the 11,000's. Take a look.



Get a load of this guys!!

@P-Courty that UFO abducting the cow made me rofl!!

 

[Pesselles]

Good girl.... 🐮 🐄

Sorry for the spam (in fact, I'm not really sorry) but another 0.3 shaved with my Cliow at Bathurst.

S1: 24.220 - no comment, I've lost the instructions to score a decent S1...
S2: 54.358 - constant and consistent but a bit slow slow despite an excellent Cutting
S3: 38.931 - my best S3. I was that close to meet Barry R. Better but far from excellent.
S4: 35.789 - constant and consistent but few tenths are still available.

Yes, there are still some tenths (5 minimum) here and there but I've gained 0.483 since this morning and I'm pretty much happy with it.

For those who would follow a cow, it's available:

Look that brilliant apex (I'm so proud of her ):

Time improvement sharing is fine, but...you could at least spoiler all your pics, makes your posts really lengthy to go through.

However... @P-Courty 's post was the much, much bigger offender. You really need to dial it back a bit, imo.

Good news my friend, we'll see you very soon back on track...

Hey, I'm not really far behind, 2'35.800. I'm gonna go watch his replay right now, my Sector 1 time was 0'24.369. Get 'em Alex!
