Time Trial Discussion

[Gomario JSP]

Morning folks!

First real impression on the Z4.... i gave it a 7/10 out of the Remote-o-meter cause the delay is not very handy with this kind of oversteer, if you try to prevent it, it's fine, but if you hammer it.... to slow,, 😂 ( for a top time )

So this morning alarm at GT-o-clock and trying to get used to the weight transfering and the squeeking tires.... god there would not be much tire left after some laps, i like slidy cars a lot, but this could be a little bit less for my liking.
Feels kind of heavy but too playfull on the other hand.

Like @Dolph Drago i have the most problem with the final sector, that last corner is a real mistery to me, and i have somuch trouble fixing my breakingpoint there, if i lay my attention to not hitting the grass for setting up the last corner i'm to late and oversteer into invalidation 😂 and when i nail it i'm searching for the Revs that just won't go up 😂

and @330_D dude, that was realy a fast lap you set, still can't get near it 😂

Descent challenge but they could have made it a lot more fun with the right tires!

That said....

Not to Shabbbyyy at all....

Pure abuse.... very tricky tracklimits with this boat 😂

Managed a 1:39.2 yesterday and felt like I had a 38 in me. After 200 miles of struggling to put it all together in a single lap, especially sector 3 where I was binning it off left right and centre - mission finally accomplished, yay me 🥳

Great time and great picture! Is it from your actual lap (minute 1:14 maybe?!?) ? If it is I don't think PD is doing a great job with dirty taken on the track. Nothing is seen from the rear view, probably very little is seen from chase cam, and quite for sure nothing remains on track both visually and physically. I know it's a TT and the circuit regenerates, but this happens also in races.

Yikes, this last turn. My God so many options and so difficult to meassure them (and so much booty twerking).
I am so glad GT7 let's you start TTs lap 2-4 turns before finnish. Otherwise I would fail 50% of them not mastering final T's.
That is funny everytime when you watch Tigney's or other pro's guides and try to remember smallest details being quite sure it shouldn't be too difficult, just to jump in that boaty wiggeling street vessel to fly all around the f.. place not being able to make even decent full brakes after first streight.
Then to say when dust settles - Ok let's learn again how to drive.

Maanaged the gold in military zone of 1:40:100. But it will be much more then first session to bring that gold home.

I'll share my ghost in the showcase when I boot up later if you think it'll help. I'm fast in sector 3 but I also struggle 75 percent of the time in the hard right at the end of sector 2 and that corner is the key for the final piece. I'm not sure how or what exactly I do but when I get sector 3 right I'm gaining on Mr Gear petty steadily to the line. My worst piece is the middle banked right headed into the downhill in sector 2.

Barely hooking the curb whenever possible with you inside front tire really helps get the power down early through the apex as well. I know turn in is not easy with this float boat buy I find catching the curb really helps.

You aren't slow. I managed a magic lap for sure. 🍻
