Improved to a 100.756, which has pipped the 2 Japanese drivers that are sitting on 759, for 3rd😎.

PB S1 of 155, but got too panicky during the long right at end of S2. Then demolished S3👌.

Thanks for keeping us updated. Enjoy your time away from home

After collecting my silver million from the Corvette (quite happy with this result, that combo was not easy for me), I tried the new TT.

Loaded @Tidgney's ghost to help me find the braking points quickly, the resets are well placed for that, I was close enough to see well where the ghost was braking, cool !

All 4 first laps in red... but after that it went better and I was in the 1:16.xxx and getting lower and lower.

So good surprise when exiting, I am already in gold, easiest TT for me so far 😅

222e for now, I took a screenshot, because it won't stay like that 🤣

Still have improvement and gains to get here and there, so I may be able to reach 1:15.5xx, doubt I can get under 1:15.0xx though.

Very interesting new TT in Watkins Glen Short with this Alfa Romeo.
First test and get gold in 1'15'506 with optimal time at 1'15'336

[Jeje6410]

Improve my time for the last test today in Watkins Glen at 1'15'187 with optimal time at 1'14'932

Here's the latest guide for those interested! Aggression and Momentum is the name of the game with this one!

I would be surprised if L-Shooter doesn't take P1 with a final day session. 😂

Did 3 laps the first 2 were invalidated and the 3rd one I'm quite happy with

Edit: couldn't resist 2 more laps

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial: Alfa World Away​

A new hot lap challenge is now available in the Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trials, bringing a classic race car into the mix for the next two weeks...

 

[ZevZoq]

a quick 5 laps with the controller this morning at WG has me at 3.42% so gold should definitely be the destination for me in this one. Should have time for a real run with the wheel rig this evening...

 

[KK78]

I knocked up a couple of liveries for the latest TT if anyone fancies a new look, both are on my profile

I'm returning to Grand Valley now to see if I can get 0:00.80 to get into Gold!

I know I complain about this every time they do it, but it still annoys me that single car time trials with cars in a group use the group BoP and not the car's stock figures.

This one isn't quite as bad as the GT-One or the Impreza WRC were but it still bugs me a bit.

Thanks, this solves my confusion. I have not yet tried the new TT, but yesterday when it was announced I did two laps in a stock 155 on RH tyres to see what it would be like, and effortlessly got a 1:14.5. Guess that means I haven't gone full alien over night after all 😭

yeah I did exactly the same. When I first loaded up the new TT and saw the times I new it was too good to be true lol...I have yet to have the experience of running a handful of laps and being surprised to find I've landed in gold already.

A bit of a more serious 1st session this morning. I was able to get to 1:15.02s on my own so I want to see how much I can push by following Tidgney's ghost and turned out I could only improve by 3/10s. Still not too bad.

Here is the telemetry comparison between Tidge's ghost (purple) and my PB (blue). I'm losing too much time at the bus stop and just about all the apex....Totally need to figure out how to release the brakes earlier or pick up the throttle faster at the apex.

what are your settings for controller ? I have mine set at 8 for a sensitivity level.

I would be surprised if L-Shooter doesn't take P1 with a final day session. 😂

He probably compiled 3 complete laps prior to his 759, such is his freakish ability. He'll run a high .5 for sure.

Like @Evilmuffin, I managed a 15.0 on my own and followed a faster ghost for another tenth or two. Committing at the apex is everything.

 

[Vule]

Very nice TT, as expected. Gave it a go this morning, had a bunch of mid .500s, and one slightly invalidated .419

 

[newmedia_dev]

This one is so addictive

Hi guys (and Greek)

It's time to talk about the Alfa (...) and the Omega: the new TT at Watkins Glen.

I had a very brief session this morning and I've entered the yellow zone right after the 2nd lap: 1:15.618.
And less than one hour later and 94 kms, I was in 1:15.290

Based on my splits, there are some tenths to shave (mostly in the 1st sector).

S1: 31.116 - 3 tenths are hidden here, and I'll find them!!
S2: 24.605 - 2 tenths are available around if I manage a perfect chicane and a perfect apex on the large right curve.
S3: 19.569 - very happy, very regular, very consistent here.

My optimals are as optimistic as I am:

but don't be too optimistic, Pesselles...

 

[XSRacing111]

These are my best runs on the new TT and the GT World Series Round 3 TT:

I never bothered posting my TTs, because I usually hover around 2.8%, averaging anywhere from 3000th to 15000th (depending on the event). Since these two were some of my best ever (beside my 0.67% finish during the Chaparral 2X at Daytona way back when), I felt like sharing them.
I’m very happy with these times, especially since I can’t seem to improve on them.
Getting a Gold time for the 2 million credits is what I primarily aim for.
