Time Trial Discussion

[MidnightRun85]

Tried out the 86 tonight and was pleasantly surprised. I was about 2 tenths off my top time in the Mustang! Might have to have a few more laps in it now I've given it a livery...

 

[jmopborba]

Did some further laps, as I am being challenged by my sister's boyfriend. Just did 1:46:423 on a DS4. He later did 1:46:384. I can't see it improving, honestly, optimal time said 1:46:201 but I highly doubt I will see that.
I feel like it can't go any further on a DS4

@NikNakTobasco @xMAXIx79

Yesterday evening i did study you lap Maxi, the overall speed just seems higher and you def. win you time over me brake-wise!
I have alot of trouble braking in to corners where you have to slowly lessen the pressure like the last one, your brakepressure controle seems so delicate!, i'm going to work on that as far as possible on a Ds4 controller.
That last corner did cost me a "45 , you seem make is so easy to get the GTR rotated.
But the advice of you two brought a little improvement this morning, not much, but went from a 1'46.307 to a 1'46.141 and 1.67% to 1.51% , still not bad, but i'm not stopping before i will hit a '45

Thanks again guys!

Nice round, that will definitely be a '45 era for you. Pay attention to your brake beam in your video. The white is your effective braking power, so to speak, and the red above it is basically the braking power wasted by ABS. Which does not mean that you would have better braking power without ABS! It just indicates that your ABS needs to regulate, be it through curbs or if you are already steering while braking and your tires are building up less grip or similar things. Here you can optimize something and you will reach the 45.

Thanks, i noticed a difference in beam between your video and mine indeed, i now come to understanding that there is far more to gain though learning how the brakes and ABS actually works on GT, most of the time i'm braking to hard, i'll work on that cause most of the time i was always giving it all on the braking. there is alot to learn here for me

I saw you don't have a white beam at all, just red whats the difference in that?

 

[NikNakTobasco]

I’ll throw my lap in there as well. The only thing I could have done better is the entry into the uphill esses. I went a bit wide and couldn’t get the power on in time. However, I don’t think I’ll ever take the right hander at the end of s1 or the last turn as well on the same lap again so I really can’t see me going quicker here.

 

[nonloso17]

Here’s my lap on a Dualsense.

It’s quite messy in my eyes, I don't fully understand why it was so quick (:

 

[Gomario JSP]

That is one fast lap!, I'll sign for that!, nice to see how these times come on the board, very smooth and fast ride!

 

[Fezzik]

You all are way too fast

You’re half a second ahead of me at S1 and basically level with me at S2. The uphill esses lost you a fair bit of time. Get that down and you’ve got a top 10 global time!

 

[dkstz]

I was wondering... What you guys think is the secret to a fast lap time using a pad?

Your video must be banned.... whoever studies this will probably come up with 45 rounds pretty quickly. Congratulations my friend.. but I still have a few days to close the gap.

Indeed, if you can perfect this a bit you are up for a very good time! funny to see the different driving styles aggression/smoothness per person and the output in laptimes

Master the breaking is key I have learned 🤪😁

I think the videos myself and @nonloso17 posted can show the different styles from the wheel and pad with near identical lap times out the other end.

Exactly, very cool to see!, so fast!, and we have to give credit to PD for making the pad competitive, very nice!

Yeah this is something I often say they don’t get anywhere near enough credit for. The BOP of the cars might be crap but their BOP of input device is unbelievably good.

 

[xMAXIx79]

Oh yes, what you can achieve with a lot of practice and the will to do it on a pad is very good. At first I was extremely frustrated and was several minutes to hours away from my second on the steering wheel.
But at the CE on the Nordschleife, among other things, I managed some tough times with Pad.

You are 100% right, the game is fantastic with a controller! There are some little things like deadzone adjustments that I wish they would add but overall it's already really really good.

Congrats on your time btw are you planning to try and go even faster? I think I'll leave it at that especially since the update is out... I think I'll do other things (:

Cheers

 

[Gomario JSP]

This morning i lost a friend called CoD, gained a new tho called turn one, 9 out of ten laps flawless and optimal until the Cod haha, god this is frustrating.

Then we shall learn to appreciate the speed, handling and the stability of the GTR by taking the Cappuccino for a blast on Dragon, damn that GTR is fast ...........

 

[govich01]

5 laps into this one with the GTR at 1:47.2, it feels like I'm all over the place for about 3/4 of the lap and the time is all about fine brake timing and control. Some great advice in this thread but I won't get the chance to play again so hopefully that stays gold!

 

[Gogga]

My best attempt thus far - 1:46 861. I feel I can go faster, but as is evident in the clip, I hesitate on the braking and gear shifts sometimes.

I think I could get into the .1s but I’m not sure what the point would be now, especially as it’d probably take me about 4 hours 😂. I guess we‘re still in the top 200, and I‘ll consider that quite an achievement!

Look my New Round.



😭😭😭😭😭

S1 I'm minimally slower than you, meanwhile at S2 we are exactly ( 0,002 Sek ) the same speed and in S3 I completely screw up the lap. Minimal lift in CoD and my hate curve the last one I'm totally bad at.

Any lift at the CoD will ruin the lap time unfortunately

 

[Darrenersmit]

Wasn't going to spend much time on this trial, "get bronze n get out", I said to myself, before a quick go tonight. Now I'm bottom of my friends times, must have another go tommorow so as not to be in last place.

Did you just seriously drove exactly 1.45.533 again?, 🤣, that has to count for something 2! 🤣 nevertheless, fast aggressive lap, nice time!, if you had the cod exitspeed of your previous lap you are getting close to the 44's!

Great job!

No, this is a display error or is due to how I share these recordings.
I do my laps and when I have improved my time and don't want to continue or make a serious mistake in the lap afterwards, I leave the attempt. Then I save this fastest lap and start the replay. Then I start recording this round to share it on YouTube afterwards. Unfortunately, you only see a completely red brake bar in the replay AND you immediately see my best lap time so far, i.e. exactly the time I just set.

My best time before that was 1:45.550, an improvement from outstanding
0.017 seconds (if I haven't miscalculated)... OK faster but unfortunately just too much wasted in S3.. a 1.45.2xx was definitely within reach when I could finally drive clean S3. If I pack the COD well even though I'm super on time, I regularly mess up the very last corner.

 

[ColinNZ]

Thought I'd give the WRX a go, just to see how close I could get to my GTR time. I'm now faster with the wrx by a few hundredths.

 

[GTboyz]

So is the gold time still the same ?
