Time Trial Discussion

[Evilmuffin]

Ok, so I see mention of people viewing the top laps from the leaderboard. Watching the SuperGT vid I posted, at the 4:38-mark, he selects the 2nd fastest time from the leaderboard, pulls the menu up and it shows "view Profile" & "Play Replay" and he plays the replay... Is there some magic button to press? When I do that I get view profile & "Load Ghost" as my two options. I've even tried going to the profile and then their gallery to see if that's where the replay is hosted and nope.

Am I crazy or just stupid lol???

No..you are not crazy nor you are stupid. Because for whatever reason, the developers decided the best place to put replys is the leaderboard before you enter the actual TT....and where is this board? In the rent an event car manual....yeah....I'm sure it made sense at some point to someone....and they also decided the reply is not an option in the leaderboard INSIDE the TT. Pretty typical UI weirdness in most Japanese games 😂

Another one converted to the Mazda, after lot of laps with the GR010, a few laps with a rented Sauber (which allowed me to improve by 1s)
4 laps with the 787B tonight, lap count 47

Exploded all my records laps after laps and I could do much better with some consistency 😃

Worst lap (first complete one with this car on this track on this TT), was better than my previous record with the GR010... 😅

The straight line speed of the Mazda is the key...

High hopes to reach silver with more knowledge of that car 🤓

BRAVO, that's amazing!

 

[Lomic]

You are running out of time but there is still hope.

I went back because of your comment and I saw that it is ending in 10h 😣 so I put some more laps, but consistency was all over the place.

I even had 2.7s in advance on my best lap on this session (until that point at 3:31:300) but managed to lose all before crossing the line 🤬 and those penalties... too close to the penalty line so 2 laps are screwed 😡

After 7 laps including 3 screwed with penalties, I stopped with a mere improvement from 3:30:314 to 3:30:289 (and an optimal at 3:27.997!!)

I think I'll give it another go tomorrow morning but for now I am to upset with my driving.

Lap count 54

And that's it... A 3:20 time at Le Mans. And after agonizing for over 300km doing 3:21.0xx like 6 times before, and to then smash my previous best by over 2 tenths. And what's even more astonishing is that I still have 2 or 3 tenths on the table if I watch all of my best sectors. My first half of the lap (until Indianapolis) was really average compared to other runs I did but I made that time up from Arnage to Porsche curves and the Final 2 chicanes.

44th in the world and will probably remain a top 50 lap after it ends. How did other DualSense users fared at this one?

 

[mikeerfol]

Finally did it, it was a struggle to post a gold time without getting a track limits penalty.

 

[Blayney]

Noticed my lap time slipped at Le Mans to silver. Did 6 laps and got a 3:24.2 but my little girl made a big noise and I cut the final chicane and it was invalidated... took me another 45 minutes to get another lap like that... 3:24.3 and I hope that holds for Gold.

 

[Ramalhinho91]

That’s a wrap for me at Le Mans.
I had a optimal lap time of a high 3:20 but I failed to put it all together. So my final time is a 3:21.330.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Good luck to those still grinding Le Mans. I had a quick run this morning but no improvement - currently sitting 1,599th on a 3:23.976 and there I’ll stay.

 

[tmtk]

So, I improved a lot, definitely more than initially expected, but as we say around here "apetite grows with eating" and you always want more.
My problem was I did a 25.7 lap early in the evening and then spent four hours chasing that improvement that would mean gold. But in the end I improved only by a fraction. Gold was in the best sectors, but that lap never came.

I spent a lot of time at this circuit, because I like it. I gave it everything I have, but it wasn't to be.
Screw the money, time was my target.

Congrats on the top 50!, that is insane!
Glad to see you still fighting for us PAD users and doing a REAL good job
Hauling with the big boys right there, seriously nice job!

Another ~8 laps at Le Mans TT before the end of the event (in 1h approx.) to try to reach silver.

Best lap at 3:29.983, with some mistakes sadly, but unable to do better and rapidly becoming upset with my driving so no need to pursue, I have other things to do today and I don't need a bad start because of a game.

Final lap count ~62 (did a lot of restart this morning, especially when having a penalty or already lost too much time for the lap to be usefull).

That's a great improvement, you can be proud
There's an Audi TTS (and 2 millions) waiting for you on Tsukuba 😍

 

[Top Dog]

Finally learnt the trick with the Sauber is to use 3rd gear a lot to help with acceleration, got it down to 3:23.5 with the controller which will do.

TT is fun too, got 1:08.4. Now looking forward to the next event!

 

[IngRobNy]

7min to new TT! 😀

 

[half_sourly]

Here are some mid-TT statistics for TT31 at Tsukuba in the Audi TTS Coupé '14.

After five TTs with gold under 10%, this one is a relief, with more than double the average currently in gold and only 4.2% out of any reward at the moment.

Has Watkins Glen been featured in TT's yet?
There's Sahlen's six hours of Glen coming up in two weeks 🤔

You called it - Watkins Glen

One make or what?

What's your medal count?

What's your medal count?

OMG! Nothing like this, that's for sure 😂, 5 silver, 4 bronze after 9 completed TT's.

 

[linksracer]

Can't see the image yet on the GT7 website but based on the lap times being put down so far my guess would be Gr4
Other requirements are Racing Hard Tyres with BOP applied and the lap times are too slow for a Gr3 or beyond.

Think i'm on 14 gold, one silver (the recent olympic tt which was insane)... Not a brag, just lots and lots of practice, i prefer the tt's to online racing...

 

[hyperspeed980]

Just bagged myself a "record-breaking" time for the new TT.

...Well, maybe I broke a slowness record.

 

[IngRobNy]

This is the new TT for those who are away from their PS4/PS5:

Oh joy, more Gr4 Silvia domination

 

[half_sourly]

Here are some statistics for TT30 in Gr.1 Group C cars at the 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit.

Highlights:

• Participation was up from the recent dip and above average.
• This was another tough TT, with only 4.5%, or less than half the average proportion of drivers getting gold.
• Silver was also tougher than usual but more people than usual got bronze, leaving the proportion with no reward around on par with the average.

Spoiler: Main Results Table

I've cut the first 10 TTs off this table now else is becomes a bit long.

Spoiler: Summary comparison to previous TTs

Drivers with gold in all TTs
The number of drivers with gold in all TTs to date dropped from 127 to 126.

As usual I've split the graphs because the high early numbers mean the later low numbers are barely legible when all the data is on one graph.

Spoiler: But was it easy?

Nope.

Spoiler: On a personal front

• I did not spend as much time on this TT as I would have liked to, with being away for just over a week while it was on.
• However, I am happy with the time I posted in my limited run, at 3:22.474 in position 290.
• That put me in the top 0.24%, 1.72% off #1 and 0.5% off #100.

Maybe not:

 

[Saargasm]

Never thought I would ever see the day, but I finally did it! Top of the friends leaderboard boys!

Spoiler: Read ‘Em and weep

 

[Barareklam]

I really loved Le Mans 24 TT, I just wish I had more time for it, I guess I could lower time with approximately half a second more, but it is what it is, no more time. Happy with result anyway.

 

[IngRobNy]

This one is going to be hard to gold, I'm not sure my silver will last to the end either, but I have 13 days to try more and with other cars as well.
