First laps at Suzuka with the NSX.
For now, I'm +3 secs from the Top 10 in a range of 1:52.7xx / 1:52.8xx with an optimal at 1:52.4xx
Let's be reasonable, I would love to score below 1:52 but I'm not sure this will be enough for the yellow reward.

Perfect, @Tidgney have posted his video, just what I need to improve my scores by following his ghost!
 
Here are some statistics for TT38 at High Speed Ring in the Mazda LM55 VGT.

Highlights:
  • Participation was the highest yet and by some margin - I wonder if the movie has brought more people to the game? I can't imagine it was this silly car.
  • Less said about this fictional combo the better, so I'll go with: loads of gold, silver and bronze, easy, wall-riding, blah blah blah.

Overall 2.1% of drivers have gold to date, but 52% of our leaderboard participants have gold - worth keeping that in mind when you look at the GTP leaderboard and feel a bit down on yourself.
This was a request to help people see how many places they're likely to gain by gaining a certain amount of time.

Stroke of luck it seems, cause i‘m not near repeating it. That’s on the other what I usually feel. Then I try ten times as hard for ten times as long and I improve on what felt like the impossible. Who ever thought practise could make for improvements? 😊

So close to gold on HSR... 😥

Waking up my Gr.2 Godzilla 2016 for Suzuka, barely into silver after 7 laps (if silver time haven't changed already):

Edit.

Improved a bit:

but noticed my Nissan only have 496 hp instead of 612 hp, that's because I recently used it in a 800 pp race and forgot to reset the hp output... 🤦‍♂️

Edit.

Sorted out now and now we are cooking with gasoline! 😂

Edit.

Much better:

Haven't had much time for games the last few weeks. I did however manage to get on and get a gold after work yesterday. Refuse to wall ride.....

I love Mt. Panorama but i am absolutely awful in the Maserati. Hope to get a silver, doubt I'll even get close to gold

Won't bother with the red bull ring for a bit yet, lots of time.....

I think you’re missing a few of the GTP members there. That’s of course if you’re referring to members of this site.
I feel left out. I’ve always wanted to be famous 🍻

These data are priceless.
Can't express my gratitude but simply and honestly: thank you Sir @half_sourly :bowdown:
 
I followed an alien ghost and saw they are already pulling all kinds of tricks (staying inside at corner 1 to save a few yards) and the top times are quite close. The track has very few corners where you can really gain time. I think the final record will be 54.2 +/- 0.1 sec. I would be really surprised if 55.8 would not be good for gold.
Not a bad prediction: gold was 54.8 secs.
 
I want to throw the towel in so badly on the down under TT. 2-days, 310-miles and zero improvement. Just so many spots to lose time or you graze a wall and lap is thrown away. Had one lap where I would have been very close to gold but just nuked the right kink flew off the track and spun out. Couldn't get close on 95% of the other attempts.

Be patient Mate. I've been playing for an hour non stop daily. Yesterday after playing for 1 hour & 30 minutes, I only improved 9 thousandths of a second. It's very easy to lose time or gain depending on car control & what assists you're playing with.

This is a fun TT so relax & enjoy. I'd suggest to play this when your mind is fresh & not when tired. Makes a big difference.
 
MC20 is terrible to drive especially on a tough narrow track like Bathurst. I like cars where you can go early on the throttle and that have good initial turn in, this car has neither, and the understeer feels so odd in a car like this, I don't understand it. I think I can do a lowish 2.16-mid 2.16 but that's all I've got. Currently at a 2.17.1.
Got down to a 2.16.9 on second account. Next goal is to get to a sub 2.17 on main account. 2.16.6-7 seems possible and that should hold up. Mr. alien from Saudi, don't you dare qo quicker please. 🙏😅 I have to keep my silver minimum streak going, done all TTs so far, 70% or so gold I think 🤔.

Want to throw a video of a lap up here? I'm sure we can poke fun at you give you some suggestions on where you are losing time. :cheers:
