For this fortnight's mid-TT stats I thought I'd investigate the 'Time-Trial-Discussion-thread-reader' advantage. Where TTs do not allow tuning, every driver is on equal footing* with all other drivers, but where tuning is allowed, I hypothesise that there is a benefit to being a regular reader of this thread.

The investigation will take a driver's average finishing position (by percentile to account for different quantum of participants across different TTs; removing the worst one result as an outlier) and compare that to the current position (percentile again) of the driver in the current TT. I will include my own and am hoping to include some other regulars.

Therefore, let me know if I may use your statistics - they are available publicly, but I guess I am processing them, so prefer to have your permission. People I had in mind are below; feel free to add your name if I missed you off.
  • If you are okay for ne to use your statistics, please provide your GT7 NICKNAME (not PS username)
  • If your username is not unique, I won't be able to include your results (I wouldn't know which of ten John Does you are as I have only nicknames in my dataset, not unique IDs)

As someone who has greatly benefitted from reading this thread (if not contributing) for every TT you are free to use me if you want extra peeps (blip). There's no way I'd have done the Ring for sure without some tunes here so many thanks to all who have posted! :bowdown:

Also enjoy chasing others times (Vule is currently top of my friends leaderboard, dammit) so anyone is free to add if you want to fill up yours (PSN bliprunner). Have definitely spent more time on TT's in GT7 than daily races!

Yeah, I have you on my leaderboard and chasing Blip on every TT, as well as Gomario, Vule and many others, Half sourly on current TT definitely in Alien league... a second faster than my PB....

Depends. On this one I've done around 300 miles to date; will probably do a few more 50-100 mile sessions. Some I did loads, example Nürburgring Nordschleife in the Nissan NSX Type R '02 I must have done around 2,000 miles, but that is a guess. Of course with all the crashing those 2,000 miles yielded about 5 completed laps!

Thanks Ian. What is your GT7 nickname?

Absolutely. It's Speed-Damean
Not sure how much mine will help though as this is only my 6th TT and I just started looking at this thread beginning of March. Also only been a couple that I spent extra time trying to better my time once I locked out Gold.

Still wish time or km's spent on the TT was something GT tracked.
 
Another lunch break, another go, 13 laps without trying to push too much, juste do clean laps.

A few bottles but my worst lap was a 1:34.XXX and I substracted some 100th to my record.

Less than 1.5s away from gold but not sure I'll be able to get there.

Medium was in 1:31.xxx so not that brilliant but I've seen much worse.

Again very frustrating as I am able to lose 0.5 here and there, and some times win it back, but if the wins do not surpass the losses... my time goes down. If only I could string a lap with all my best corners...

Optimal time was just in the 1:29s, it goes down day after day, so that's a plus.

I'm in.

And no, @kowalski__1 and me are not the same guy.😆

If I had known that you'd put that effort into doing such statistics, I would have put a bit more effort into my TTs... 😇

Please go ahead, I have benefited from the forums. What's more you're even asking permission, and not to mention the work you put into this. Big thanks! 👍

Have to say though, I push for some TTs but certain ones I lack motivation depending on car, track, time.

Edit: GT7 nickname is Laksa

Turns out there are multiple 'Kowalski' nicknames (Looking at your posts, I think that is your GT7 nickname), so I won't be able to include your results.

You've got permission to use my stats. I started with the first Escudo TT at Alsace, but have skipped a couple TTs along the way. Notably, the NSX at Nurb.

GT7 Nickname: Chall
