Did another 20 or so laps and finally got a 1:28:844 🤘

You see, keep hunting 😉, great job 👏,
 
Just cannot gel with this one. Spent some time again last night but cannot get under 1:30 for the life of me. Had one lap where I was looking at a 1:29:5ish, but of course, as with every single other lap where I'm that far ahead of my PB, I messed up and got a track limit penalty... I'll have one last attempt tonight, but unless something clicks last minute I'll be settling for a silver time on this one.
 
It's odd that the next time trial doesn't get leaked early like the Weekly races do. I think it would be cool to have a trial of something that can go full throttle throughout at Daytona oval so everyone can get max credits but have tuning enabled so there is some strategy.

The upcoming races are on the GT website (see link in post above).
Next time trial is Dragon Trail Seaside Gr4.

I can post my lap here but there are so many faster laps then me here already, but my key was definitely turn 1, sway out just against the tracklimit with your right tire, and down to third, cut apex a little while already on the throttle for the turbolag, hairpin in second and already full throttle while turning for the turbolag again, I even mist apex 3 in my lap, I hate that breaking point before the bridge.
Keep trying, you will get there!
 
snc
Imo gr4 will be realy easy to gold
I don't know, the top guys will also be faster, but maby you are right and the margin is less because of the slower group,
we have to wait and see, i'm in for it :)

On the face of it Gr.4 should be fairly simple. Easy to hit your lines & braking points. The chicane of death can be tricky in Gr.3 with higher speeds. Wel’ll see in Gr.4.

The only Time Trial I’ve not golded was Super Formula at Fuji. That event was really difficult for controller users. The Escudo event was also tricky as you needed to minimise turbo lag.

I think its any GR4. So you can use what ever you want but last time the GTR was fastest.
Yeah, I am hoping that they keep using specific vehicles, as they have been after the update to add rewards.
 
I still think it will have the same rewards....not sure what you mean.
Update 1.17 added the gold/silver/bronze rewards. Since then we've had the specific Escudo, Dallera, Civic and Skyline challenges.

Yes and it would be great if they continue with that habit...

Personally wouldn't like group selection of cars and BoP, who makes cars un-original with hp/weight "corrections".

In the end, aliens always finds one fastest car, but now is screwed by BoP.
 
no reason you could not have a category of cars and STILL have the reward.
i don’t really care about the rewards (2 mil a fortnight isn’t a lot), just like the current setup with everyone using the same car, a more interesting challenge.
 
Gr. 4 challenge will end up being a specific car challenge, for the most part, as one or two of them will be dominant. Just look at top times and see what they are driving.
Sure, but that car(s) then won't have his original strength and weight due to BoP.

Until now, all specific with original settings.

That's we (@Fezzik and me) were talking about.
1 track 1 car
