I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this,

Probably the most frustrating TT to date for me. Im done, I’m going vegan, I’m never looking at sausages of any kind again, I’m going to have therapy.

I had peaked too soon, my near best PB came 400 miles in… I’ve now done nearly 1100 total, so 700 of no improvement. Just airborne, reset, airbone, reset. On the odd chance I did get through the Chicane Chicken of Death Sausage Raised Vibrators, I’d overcook the hairpin, if I made it through that, yeah ok basically nearly every corner will get me. Insidious understeer was the silent killer, it always felt like I’d make the corner righhttttt up until I didn’t.

Im pleased with my time, I know with my splits 1:38.3xx was possible but I never hooked it all up! Massive kudos to anyone who was fast on a pad because placing that car was a struggle even on a wheel. Massive kudos to my top placed friends @sdi_03 and @half_sourly for giving me some motivation to improve. Well done to everyone else for persevering, @Dolph Drago and @2Quickrides for making it to the ‘38 club as well. @Gomario JSP any last sessions for you my friend?

Great job my friend, you can be very pround having a 38.566!!

I was just realy mad this morning, ran a first sector of 29.1 and nailed everything! until the last corner, overshooting it, sliding towards te tracklimit, 39,3 ......, that was my lap, that was my 38. i am 100% sure, but that lap was one out of i don't know howmany laps of restarting and cursing.
It has come to the point that i'm almost not enjoying this TT anymore, it's just the unconsistency of my laps after the gazillion laps i have allready done.

I know it's a challenge, and love competing against all you super fast guys, and a lot of you are seriously faster than i will ever be,
I'm still top 1000 ( 829 for now ) and i think i have done well on PAD, and still a little proud, but not satisfying, cause there were laps that would be faster....

I have the day off tomorrow, so i'll prob try one more time and give it my all, and then i'm completely done with it :lol:
i'm burning all my radicals and sausages at home.......

I will curse, yell, and try to ben nice to my DS4, and i will fight to the end :lol::lol: but do i have hope??....naah :lol:

Relax mate, I noticed after 20 min that I can't even break 1.41, so I gave up 😁 Can't always get gold, and in case you have missed, you smashed the gold anyway 💪

Like I can understand that some go for broke in a TT. But don't lose perspective of the actual goal: trying to get gold and get 2 million.
 
Ran this again last night and dropped my best lap by .9 seconds. Only a 1:41.6 but it's a solid silver time. I pretty much struggle with every corner. The car is sliding and bouncing all over the place. I'm sure if I put in a lot more time I could knock my time down lower but I don't think I've got gold in me. My time is better used towards grinding for credits and calling this one done.

This will be perhaps the TT with the most participation, a little below the Gr3 in Catalunya. At 14h of the final, there were 148,000 profiles

I'm just speculating, but I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers will keep going up with each upcoming TT.
A lot of us newcomers probably jumping in during the last month because of the improved availability of PS5 systems.
Finally shelves are filled with stock and people can pick up a console on a whim.

I liked this TT, but in the end was dissappointed (in myself) that I couldn't break into the 38's.
Time to practice more and git gud as they say.

So, the Olympic TT is up, as i write this ,out of 2100 people so far, 28 are in the gold,not hard at all, lol...i'm sitting 256th,safely silver,gold might be outta reach for me,well over a second out,but it is paying double rewards, GL,all !!:cheers:

The bronze prize is also 120% the world record rather than the usual 110%, so it's easy money for even casual players.

That said, I'm a bit off the silver cutoff this time around.
 
Bonelli is strong. It is first in three TT events, that of sausages, Olympic series and Gazzo Cup

Either for that reason or any other, it is certain that there are more TT profiles

I just ran a 1.17.172, dropped over 1 full sec but still, .77x away from gold,206th place,2.52%.
Too bad its not a normal TT,lol, i don't know if another .800 is possible,but it is a really fast lap,the track limits make it tight.
It's only 10 days instead of 13,it's going to go by fast. :)
 
I have been laughing way too much reading this thread.

I have a wall of words so big about the damn sausages, but I think it's better to just say that I got a 1:40.187. Optimal time is below 1:40, but I can't do it anymore. :lol:

I like the SR3. Fun car and it's quite different from the others. Reminds me a bit of the 1-hour BAC Mono race at Trial Mountain.
 
I did one last stint with the Radical, but I swear something was different, prob my sudden complete incompetence but felt like now and then downforce was completely gone during cornering, then finally nailing the first sector, then see a 29.6/7/8??...... that should be .2xx
I did so many laps but this morning it was just different...., well I know it's on me, but I want to blame something....🤣

Well done guys, ended up 860 or something , this was not my cup of thee 🤣

Did 2 laps with the GR010, God damn that is fast .....🤣🤣, driften all the way to a whopping 1.19, im having to recalculate my brain for that one, going to be hard to get gold , but a fun challenge for sure

Had the same experience last night. Wanted to do one last stint to try and break into the 38s but, no. Concluded after 109 kilometers of sausage party paired with understeer that I was too tired and called it quits. Still, I got faster times than expected when I first tried this TT so I'm happy :)

That's what it is all about!, good job on the progress 😁, if you were faster than you expected then you have succeed 😁
I was hoping to get into 38 but still within top 1000, so I'm happy 😁

On to the next, good luck 😁👍👍
