Gold for a corner of pinky nail at the Glenn.

I was convinced I was losing a lot in the second section, and the numbers confirmed that.

S1 +0,295s
S2 +1,205s
S3 +0,301s

Analyzing my microsectors I see that I brake way too early (but I do it because if I brake later I can't hold it), I'm scared in the second part of the bus stop, because many times the car jumps off me at the last curb, and I also don't brake well between the exit of the bus stop and the I Love NY box

I would like to lower it a little more, but it may not be so trivial as I don't think it's just a bravery issue.

Here is my lap, if you like to give me some advice. Thanks

The only thing I can say is try to avoid lifting when exiting some of the corners, it's better to wait a fraction longer so that the throttle is constant on exit, lifting in the exit costs a lot more time on to long straights than waiting/coasting for 10 more feet mid corner.

I know it feels like you are going slower at the apex but is actually the fastest way I find.

Otherwise a solid lap, you might want to try entering the chicane in 5th and dropping to 4th in the straight part of the chicane, you might be able to brake a bit later and carry more coasting speed.

After 220km, with that Bugatti they are coming so fast, I posted 1:20.345 as best time.
It's only safe bronze so far, 0.7-8s from silver.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial: Bug Life​

The next event in Gran Turismo 7’s Online Time Trial challenges is now available, taking players to the fictional Kyoto Driving Park for a hot-lap event in a racing Bugatti...

Ditto.

I even posted a 1:20:3xx. The first 2 sectors are where I'm being too cautious. Even the Bugatti is fast & has loads of grip, I was more comfortable with the Glen TT.

The two fast chicanes on Kyoto are going to be an absolute bitch for controller users. The second one in particular exposes the same old issues with rapid changes of direction.

 

[Revengel]

Decided to give Big Willow a last try last night. After hustling with the Merc to a 13.5xx, I grabbed my trusty M6 Sprint and did a 12.8xx in like one lap and called it a night.

Got to work this morning and now I'm reading about a Bvgatti at Kyoto . . ? That used to be my favorite track!

Perhaps I'll make a Shi-Shi-O Livery for the thing and give it a whirl.

I would love mine if possible. If not, no biggie. Broad Bean will stick out like a sore thumb for sure, though.

I have to create your personal results to create the graph, so here are both. Broad Bean is indeed a lighthouse!

I'm doing something similar for offline personal usage. Would like also to add the medals (bronze/silver/gold).
You know... regular people is exposed to have a mix of medals instead of a chest full of gold... 😜

I'd like to have dots of different color depending on the medal but haven't foud a programmatically way to do it.

i can't wait to try
Not looking forward to this one, i think i'm going to try to gold it and run this time.......
RIP controller and def. RIP Remote Play for this one

Here is my lap, if you like to give me some advice. Thanks

I only drove one session on Glen and put a banker, because sickness, but as I read on this thread there are at least five aliens under P100 who maybe can take a look at your lap and give advice?

i will have a serious look at it this evening @zjn i'm at work at the moment
So i will report back to you asap

I'm having to take 4th gear through the chicanes.

Sensitivity needs to be at least 7 to carry the speed through the fast sweeping corners.

I average one valid lap for every ten I start. I've got a 1:17.4 thus far, with an opt of 1:16.9.

 

[Xcrazy51]

Hopefully a safe gold 🥇
With my dualsense I think I can do 1:16:500 but that would be my limit i guess

 

[SPL170db]

Bit tricky this one. I'm 7/10th's away from gold at the moment.....have to try and limit brakes to as little as possible. Maintaining alot of momentum is key on this one.



EDIT: down to an 1:18.012 with and optimal of :17.7. Gotta keep grinding if I want that gold.

To be fair it's key to all the TTs and racing in general

I only took a quick look, but first sector is the easiest to gain you some time. I noticed you release your brake a bit abruptly during trail braking. Samething happened in the 3rd sector (except for the last right which you did great).

Anyways, work on turn one...it is the easiest (and hardest) to gain you a good 2/10.

Well I didn't have anymore time to race at Willow, I had to sleep yesterday, I spent 5-6 hours doing house chores and that wore me out, so I will receive a bronze, 1'15.187. So, it is what it is.

Wish me luck in the Bugatti one, just read the article featuring it.

Said in the Brad Pitt oceans eleven way....

"You have to go fast through it, but not to fast then you have to make sure you are going slow enough to go fast through it. But not to slow, that is bad. So just go fast through it but not to fast and not to slow but make sure you are both slow and fast enough through it. But the secret to getting it right......oh the F1 is starting soon"

aint that the truth.

 

[zaxs]

After 317km (that's very very rare distance that I can do), I managed to go under 1:20, I posted 1:19.846

For me, after looking replay, this is looking on edge...!
How's then guys are doing 1:15?



Where can I improve?

 

[Chris30]

Well first, I'm directing my attention towards the WG one, then it's off to Kyoto for the gold!

I really need to put more effort studying each replay and to utilize the information that processes in my mind.

@zjn I had a look at you lap.
Like the muffinman said indeed T1, I think you can brake a little later and yeeet in 4th directly when you brake and release the brake gently and try to go on the throttle as soon as possible.

For the busstop you can start braking at the 400 board ( you can even brake a little later ) stay in 5th a lot longer and use 4th when you want to rotate a bit to the inner curb, so stay longer in 5th there.

For the right hander, try to have a turning point that you can remember every lap, coast until you reach that point and floor it, you are lifting a lot during that corner that cost you a lot of time, and you can go alot wide on exit so you can floor it quite early when you clip the apex mid corner!

Then the left hander I always take in 4th, for a short moment to 5th on exit before back to 4th for the final corner, you have a lot of room between the wall there.... get close... 😁😁

So you can def grab some time here!, good luck!, and ill see your updated video soon , 😁😁

I raced on Watkins Glen for the first time in my life today. Thankfully I lived vicariously through various YouTubers for last half year or so. Therefore I had seen it quite a lot already.

Watching Digit's and Tidgney's lap guides helped tremendously as well. No way I would be anywhere close to gold without them. No idea how anyone finds these optimal lines and approaches by themselves.

Took me 18 laps (14 of which were red) to get to a safe 2.5% 🥇.

 

[zaxs]

I lowered it to silver!

Jeddah will improve for sure, maybe I will too...
I thought that I can't reach silver, but I did.

Wow well done, I would be more than happy to get such amazing score here (I'm still in silver)!
Watkins isn't an easy track and it's very easy to lose tens or more on the way.
BRAVO!

I'm always so grateful there is a ghost and/or guide for both the TTs and dailies.

As you get more comfortable with the cars and tracks the ghosts start to be company rather than guides but that's the sign of improvement.

Cracking job mate, a tiny top tip reflect on how you got there, Learning to brake and then turn in, the lap probably felt comfortable but on the edge.

Effort is the key and learning each time. Good work dude
