The new TT:

I got an interesting time on my 2nd lap, 2'53.523. Three sets of numbers arranged in 2 different ways. That's never happened to me before. Wow, that was something. I'll post my video later on this afternoon. This track is too hard and frustrating for MT so I'll use AT here. Too many twisty and complex turns to get through.

But if you truelly want to get the hang of the MT use you gotta stop switching back Chris , there was a time i swiched and soon after it felt like nature, now i have lots of moment were shifting just happens without actually thinking about it, becomes kind of natural after a while

You sir have nailed that one 😂😂 because I was a bit behind on the pages and when I jumped to the last page with this post being the first one I saw and just looking at the pictures, I just knew the kind of abomination PD has forced on us.

I'll say, definite pass for me. Not only do I refuse to drive that Genesis VGT, I hate the track. Guess I'll go back to the GT-R at the Nurb and see if I can get into the high 1.33s

I haven't tried the new time trial yet, but I suspect this one is going to be very difficult.

Did a few laps trying to follow @Tidgney's ghost. The most challenging for me on this TT will be to learn the track. Otherwise it is not awful to drive.

Optimal close to silver and I think I'll enter that zone rapidly. Just need to do a decent lap without going wide into 50% of the turns.

Gold seems far though and I doubt I'll become enamoured with the combo... I think gold will be easy for most usual golden users around here.

Nothing more to add

This is actually a simple track if you break it down.

Context: Only time I've ever raced this track before was to clear 100% of the arcade mode races last year (if this layout is even included) , and in 2024 I think I only raced it when the new race came out with the update (and again the next day for the weekly challenges).

Personally I only drop into 2nd gear for all of about 2.5 seconds at the chicane after the bridge (I'm quicker than the leader through that entire section to the finish line, and they stay in 3rd for the chicane), otherwise pretty much all the lap is exclusively 3rd 4th and 5th gears, with a dabble into 6th if needs must.

Most corners are 90 degrees, just the camber can catch you out otherwise.

It's just long so might seem overwhelming at first.

Not even logging on for this one quite honestly. I don't know who at PD is convinced pushing these crummy fake cars is good for engagement but it's not working.

Well, the upside is that we shouldn't see too many complaints about the real car driving completely differently.
