Not every day do you run a world record while experiencing equipment malfunction requiring a mid lap pause!

How in the world are you getting somuch rotation out of this brick??
my dualsens NEVER made somuch squeeking sounds as this morning.......

Epic lap mate!

 

[Timm Sheehan]

i don't know, but i'm going to squeek te hell out of those hards on the ring
going to give it my best

This should be it

Awesome lap! How is your map and HUD different? Is this a PS5 change? I have never seen that replay setup before but like it.

 

[nickf1gr]

There is a Greek proverb that I believe matches the existing TT in St. Croix...
"Stay away and loved ones"
Greeks will understood

Nice, what are you using? A wheel, pad or controller. I'm wondering cause i'd like to get a low, awesome time like that. Or similar.

you ain't gonna catch this dude, he has a different bloodgroup, he has Vpower or something

The battery should last one full lap if driven correctly. Try to keep the car pointing as straight as possible....in higher gear it actually recharge the battery while giving you boost at the same time.

Meaning shortshifting 5->6 ?

Wow, P1!

GTPlanet in the lead!

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Sheesh, what a lap! Here I was happy to hop on GTPlanet to brag about getting from a 2:00.6 to a 2:00.2! I haven't tried shifting down to 2nd in the tighter corners yet so hopefully that will shave off some time.

I'm using a 4 year old Thrustmaster TGT, with standard pedals (but a customised gas pedal spring). I set my wheel to maximum feedback (10,10).

 

[IngRobNy]

Managed to improve a lot on Sainte-Croix, but still miles from silver...:

Same with Road Atlanta, so close, but yet so far away...:

😥

 

[manou]

Not too bad !!

 

[manou]

The Lambo V12 is really a "slow in, fast out" car.

 

[Evilmuffin]

Nah...you can just do regular shift....but in the back straight...point the car as straight as possible. This section plus the braking into the chicane will recharge the battery just enough for the final push to the finish line.

How do people on the community leader board feel about the addition of DR and SR? I show an example below.

I don't think it's really relevant for these because it assumes that people are bothering with Daily Races at an equal rate to that of how they are challenging themselves on these time trials.
There's quite a few E B ratings in here which speak to that, as these are the default ratings - and there's probably many more people here who might not have PS Plus for changing their rating or who might just not race online anymore. It just doesn't really mean anything for a time trial leaderboard.

 

[Todt]

Exactly that, I don't have any Ps plus for example! But let's just say it doesn't bother me if people are interested

 

[A_Higher_Place]

May I get added to the list? Thank you!

 

[330_D]

SR is the only thing that matters but hey any added stat is cool!

Great additional info, I have no problem with it, altho for me it has absolutely no value due to only doing timetrials, I did the onlines for the platinum thing and ran 😁🤣

Sure. Send me a link to your GT7 profile page, like this (https://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/gt7/user/mymenu/acfa6a32-1c74-4c0b-852e-b8a1bf152d08/profile), and I'll add you on.

That is where I'm at too (I do the very occasional race - did some this week actually - but mostly just TTs), but since adding DR/SR is an easy thing to do and is a one-off change, so requires no extra work for me week to week, I thought I'd see what people think.

I think the additional info doesn't hurt anyone, or at least for sure doesn't hurt me. Those are among the info posted by PD, so I guess that it's a low hanging fruit to grab. That said, as others were already pointing out, there is often no correlation between TT rating and DR/SR rating

At least I can now see where I am going wrong.

 

[IngRobNy]

Yes!!! First just a toe into silver:

And then I got a really good lap:

But will it be enough for silver in the end I wonder.

 

[RacingFan1]

Dragging the brake?

If you touch the brakes when you have to go full speed after a corner exit, you lose a lot of speed

Some people manage to maintain full battery while going full throttle, no idea how... Some kind of cheating or game hacking??? It seems very much so

The battery should last one full lap if driven correctly. Try to keep the car pointing as straight as possible....in higher gear it actually recharge the battery while giving you boost at the same time.

Battery in the Audi VGT Gr1 lasts 3 corners if going full speed. Unless I'm missing something, there's nothing you can do to stop discharging it, you either brake and go slowly, or you go full speed and the battery is gone in no time

With controller... I think you can forget about doing decent laptimes with understeery machines

That's really cool, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing where I stand VS our GT Planet community 👍🏻😁

 

[Barareklam]

Banker for now. Half a second minus in Delta but wifey want us spent Friday evening so that will be it for now.

 

[GlockPants]

Finally getting to the Nordschleife Honda event. I'd really like to get Gold here, the Certificate time would be a huge bonus.

But first things first ... Setting a valid lap!

So far, no luck. But I'm still getting used to the slidey handling characteristics. Since I still need practice around most of the track, I'm not going to restart any invalidated laps.

Looks like I'll have my work cut out for me ...

 

[Talon16]

Gonna request @half_sourly update the spreadsheet for the Gr1 at RA to overwrite the primary account time with one of the alt accounts because it's way faster.

I kid, of course!
