Time Trial Discussion

[Chris30]

I really hate sausages too, we just can't have it all can we? Always a dilemma for me. Those stupid things caused the left side of my car to do a wheelie and it messes up the balance of the car, It's near the downhill section before you head to the finish line.

Do you have any clue why Serbia can't participate in Michelin Lake Louise TT? You are from Serbia, right?

Yep, I'm from Serbia, and Sony doesn't even acknowledge the existence of my country, let alone the Michelin TT participation.

And my "second country" Malta - also no

Luckily, I have a second account that is registered in Cyprus... But also no

 

[Chris30]

I know I'm gonna get irritated with this TT, preverbally because of the bad corners and sausages. I haven't even escaped bronze territory yet. But practice makes perfect if you want a good solid score.

Threw a handful of laps at it this AM and off to a 1:50.851 to start. Good for now, but I can probably shave some more time from there as it was a pretty sloppy best lap.

First test in Dragon and get gold at 1'51'334

It’s just just just 🥵🥵🥵

 

[Lomic]

Top 10,000 and I might end up getting one occasionally. 🤣

I think Top 10,000 and regular gold treshold are too similar in terms of number of people who can pretend to either one, not enough delta to justify a special prize IMHO. But I see why you say that 😅 and I was not proposing that thinking about new prizes I could get if it was added to the game.

 

[Tidgney]

The latest guide for those interested! I love this track due to the unique corners, the 4 apex'd left is one of the best corners in Gran Turismo!

 

[Famine]

Whoever designed this track sucks.

Bit rude. As were the several previous comments about "PD smoking", implying the use of what's really very illegal drugs in Japan.

What was PD smoking and thinking!?

what's PD smoking?

what is the staff of PD smoking?

Just because you don't personally like something doesn't make the people who created it drug-users or make them "suck". Wind it in a bit.

 

[Chris30]

You're right Famine, I'm sorry. I wouldn't want someone treating me the same way. But what would you do if you couldn't get the hang of a TT? You'd get frustrated and angry too, anyone would, but actions speak louder than words. What we need to do is be grateful for what is provided for us. I edited/fixed that post, if you want to take a look later.

I have a secret weapon for this TT.

The M3 is too powerful so I give you (not my livery) the 316i which is much better suited to this TT

 

[MidnightRun85]

...But I see why you say that 😅 ...

Damn, you caught me out. Doh!

 

[Chris30]

Damn, you caught me out. Doh!

Well, I better get back to work on this sausage-fest!! I'll just have to be careful and not drive over them otherwise it will do damage to my car and ruin my lap.

Is there a track in GT 7 you like? It all? 😅😅😅

Every week online time trial seems to be always an "irritating one" for you.

Jesus....😅😅😅😅

 

[Pesselles]

To whom it may concern:

Happy lapping friends

 

[Chris30]

Well you guys get ill too sometimes at them. I don't hate all of them, my best favorite ones are Tsukuba, Watkins Glen, Kyoto, Autopolis, and Lake Louise.

But as to what Pesselles just posted above, you have to go upstairs for the reward, it won't just come in your lap, you have to strive for it and go the long route. That is what I've had to learn my whole life.

 

[TumeK5]

Let's all have some BMW fun in the dark. I am so excited about this combo. Perfect.

3 hours later...

I know I'm gonna get irritated with this TT, preverbally because of the bad corners and sausages.

 

[Chris30]

Yeah my mood changed because I actually did 10 laps and got annoyed. What would you do if you were in my shoes? So I'm not doing it for a while. To those of you who are new to DT-Gardens, if you do a lot of laps and get overstimulated, take a break and do other things. Then a day or two later come back to it, you'll have a fresh mind.

 

[TumeK5]

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

I would probably stick to what I know, rather than "Oooh night time, this is gonna be so good"

 

[newmedia_dev]

You don't need to go over the sausage curbs to get a good gold or silver time Chris

 

[TumeK5]

You don't need to go over the sausage curbs to get a good gold or silver time Chris

But he wants to get into top 100 and get his Diamond 4 million reward!!

 

[Famine]

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Not do it at all.

Gaming is for fun. If it's frustrating, don't do it.

 

[TumeK5]

Gaming is for fun. If it's frustrating, don't do it.

I don't think Chris has grasped it quite yet, considering he has often entertained thoughts of reaching gold, when even some of the easiest TTs to date proved too difficult for the task...

 

[newmedia_dev]

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

I can't speak about your shoes but in my own....

 

[Jeje6410]

Last test for today in Dragon Trial and improve my time at 1'51'137 with optimal time at 1'50'860

 

[newmedia_dev]

Managed to improve by 4/10s

Yeah, well St. Croix is dead to me, 2'48.775 is good enough for bronze. I quit there the other day. So I'll be earning my measley little 250k credits.

 

[skydragon49]

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

I'd say 2 things:

#1 - If the game's become frustrating, just drop it. I've done that countless times with different games. Gaming is meant to be fun, if I want a stressful time life has already gave me plenty of these.

#2 - Or you could try to follow people's advices about how to improve your driving. If that somehow for whatever reason is not happening, you are back to point #1.

 

[newmedia_dev]

Ok enough TT for me today. I'm annoyed at myself as my last lap was on for this optimal but I ballsed up the last corner 😥

 

[VSpec_R]

I thought the car/tire/track combo was going to be a nightmare. Easier Gold for me than the Nurb with the GTR.

 

[peniu]

is it just me or would that chart read better if the x axis was flipped so it read bronze to gold rather than gold to bronze? 🤔

There you go!
