1 hour to go and holding on by the skin of my teeth, I think this will be the smallest margin gold I've managed haha.....

I'm glad Kyoto is over today. I got a safe gold there and never touched it again.
Now to aim for the 1:44s. I doubt that will happen. I'm at my limit here, just have another 10th through sector one.

interestingly, when I went to the website, the next 4 events were revealed… but without the cars as the pictures aren’t there.

I won’t list them here in case folks like the surprise 😉

We don't like surprises 🤣 it will end up here anyway

Next week at spa is going to be a blast on sports mediums.

The next is at Trial mountain on Racing Hards

The following at Nurb Gp on Sports Hards

Collected my price for the runs in the Bugatti, ending up at 184, happy with that roulette runs.

Then ofcourse went back to sliding around on Deep Forest, i was a little more consistent in S1 now, but man, i was fighting the last corner all session today.
i had somany good runs until that, threw away somany PB's on that exit, it's so delicate.

But i think i'm officially done with it now, i'm fed up with it, reached page one tho!

Not satisfied because i had 3 days, 3 sessions, with a lot better optimums,
today's sheet

Did find some time on the board and prob for a short amount of time i'm in the top 100 for this one, should last a hour or so :lol::lol:
Finally in the 8xx's but i had to work for it like crazy.

So an avarage S1 and S3 but nice 2nd sector netted me a 1:44.822 ( i'm sorry @half_sourly :lol: )

Before I went to doctor to some control, I picked up Bugatti gold and had a quick session at Fuji.
I posted 1:30.7xx, which is currently silver.
Not sure will I continue my gold streak, but who knows, maybe I find some speed...

First day of vacation for me, and I jumped into the Fuji TT first thing in the morning so I could enjoy the rare sight of being on top of my Friends Ranking 😅

I think it's a combination that suits me, it is certainly one that I like. Managed an early 1:28.924, which is currently gold by half a second, but I guess won't hold. But that's ok, I made many mistakes and there is a lot of potential.
 
Apologies for missing last weeks time trial but I was away with filming Playstations charity event and then on the Thursday filming for the BBC involving GT Sophy!

I'm back though with a new guide for you :)! Just avoid the bollards!

 
Well I seem to be in a minority if not the only person to actually love the Bugatti in Kyoto and after trying it last night; hate the Mustang at DF 🤣🤣 Neuro-divergent perhaps (or as my gf says, ‘neuro-spicy’)

Powered by mainly wine and beer with soil in it I managed to get a new PB last night which hopefully put me back in the top 100. Great to be up in the upper echelons and remind @Gomario JSP that I do still have the skills to pay the bills (amazing time mate, I still have no idea how you did that on a controller 🤣)

Onwards and upwards, more high downforce is fine with me 😎😎😎

We have all said big THANK YOU many times for the work you do, and the IMPACT of your work is now clear, all members on leaderboard are either in gold or silver on Deep Forest Shelby TT, not a single bronze medal, which means all are improving thank to you pushing everyone with your numbers. AMAZING to see!!!

That's very kind of you, thank you. But I can't take credit for other drivers' skills; that's all down to their efforts, with @Gomario JSP's morning routine setting the example.

And some of the results are down to cats, apparently. Much as I'd like to be a better driver, I don't want it bad enough to think about getting a cat; they cannot be trusted...

Then again.... i'm prob the only fool getting 5 day per week up early at 05:45 AM to race timetrials until 8:00 AM and then hurry to start working at 8:30 AM ....

if you think of it.... it's nuts... :lol: :lol: i have a sleepless timetrial life right now :banghead::banghead:

I'm sure if you would put the same efford in you would be miles ahead of me :boggled::boggled:

thanks mate for the work, you realy have made those trials alive!
 
Not realy looking forward to Fuji to be honest, i know it's an iconic track but the last sector feels like the designer had a mental breakdown ..it's just akward.
We will be lapping the NSX again just as we did at Suzuka.

But by the looks of the trackguides above it's not going to be that difficult to gold with that amount of grip but those bollards are going to kill us...

I'll prob have a go at it tonight on Remote for a first look, and then tomorrow a first session

Good luck guys :)
 
Muahhaha another combo I like!! 😈😈😈 high downforce and a track I know equals a lot of fun, these cars are way more enjoyable on a wheel in comparison to things like the Mustang at DF which is borderline undrivable. I’ll take it! Not the most exciting but hey.. my run of liking trials nobody else does continues 😂😂

Replay shared under tags GTP and dantes if anyone is bothered. Here’s the ‘tube

Hi,

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

I actually quite like Fuji. Especially without that infernal chicane. Only had time for a few laps earlier but I am almost a gold time already. I am looking forward to this one.

Tis' the holiday season too, so I should have plenty of time to try for my highest placed TT yet.

Best regards to all here.

Ian.
