Was the C7 / Watkins a 1:13:527 Gold or did it come down again in the last hour?

Thanks in advance. Wasn't able to check due to work.

that was last gold time, no improvement after that

Gratz @Doodle that was one hell of a lap in a beast of a car and deserving of #1 worldwide.

Statistics for the TT at Watkins Glen Short with the Corvette ZR1 '19

View attachment 1203905

And since I'm on holiday this week and have a bit of time, here is one for the visual folk. This TT looks very similar to the Z Performance '23 at Lago Maggiore; two FR cars, albeit the Corvette somewhat more powerful.

On a personal level, the Corvette at Watkins was my best nominal finishing position (393rd) and percentile (0.4%), and joint second-best time difference to #1 (1.76%), beaten only by the Nissan GTR at Dragon Trail.

The new TT will be a challenge for me; I've never done well at Nürburgring GP. Looking forward to it.

These stats are really interesting, thank you for going to the trouble of producing them, it's appreciated.

My final numbers.

Congrats to everyone who pushed their performances to the limit!

So what car is topping the time charts thus far?

 

[hardvibes]

11 laps and I'm already gold with 1:57.650

Again, it's.not.gonna.last. I predict violence

 

[Ian JB]

So what car is topping the time charts thus far?

Lots of Porsche in there. Jags too. I am looking forward to this one now having had a few laps at it today. Currently sitting at 1:58:xxx.

Best regards to all here.

Ian.

Finally something to play in gt7. I’ll give this one a go. What are the meta cars?

If only that same question was asked three posts above yours and answered on post above yours.

Quick question. I managed bronze 🥉 at the previous TT at Watkins Glen, but I don't know how to collect the credits reward. Couldn't find it in Sport mode or in Garage either.
Where is it?

It should just pop up once you enter sport mode; it will show an icon at the home screen next to where sport mode is. You go there and it automatically pops up. You sure you got bronze?

Previous page has a screenshot of what it would look like:

I have a 1:14:9XX that’s just short of silver. I’d like to get another crack at it tonight (or possibly improve to gold) but I’m not sure if the event is going to end before I get a shot. I don’t have access to the game at the moment. Can someone please tell me the cutoff time? Also can we...

@Talon16 I saw nothing there, did I miss some time period and then it expired??

 

[Bobby-Vegas]

You don't give us US Pacific time zoners much credit huh? It's prime time here! lol, jk.

West Coast Best Coast buddy!!

 

[Darrenersmit]

2:06 to kick things off. Going to give this one a proper shot. Usually only do last 5 days.

No it doesn't expire. Are you sure the TT ended with you getting a bronze? Lap times for gold, silver and bronze keep changing...

 

[Cabelmania]

1:57:461, a decent gold time from me, let's see if it will stand

 

[AlexDB9]

Then it seems I didn't manage bronze afterall damn!

But I'm a noob at this TT challenge, I don't understand this: if the global record stays the same how do the times for the gold etc. change?

 

[gd224]

Got a 2:202.471 in the Mazda RX-Vision on my first go. Probably could get a better time in the Porsche (or the Mazda for the matter) if I can hit my marks (and as soon as I dig my wheel back out). Can easily get a bronze time in several cars but we'll see as time goes on.

I've seen other people saying they couldn't get the prize. Probably a bug.

 

[Nick Parks]

I’m currently at a 55.9 in the 911, I think there’s more in it still…
I haven’t tried any other cars yet

 

[samppa_944]

Just did a 1 hour session in the 911 RSR at Nürburgring GP. For a long time my best laptimes were sailing around 1.57.3-5. But finally got it together on one lap and I did a 1.56.890.

Pretty sure that will be enough for gold (seeing that Fuvaros is on top and 2 tenths ahead of P2 which suggests his lap is very fast). Might just leave it at this and check whether or not the lead time improves significantly. I could only feel a tenth at most to find with this car, it was a really good lap.

The only thing driving the gold/silver/bronze times is the top time. When it ended, the top time was a 1:11.385 so the bronze cap was 1:18.524. If you were better than that, I don't know why it didn't pop up automatically. Maybe try and reboot the game?

1:56.7 on the Nurb in the Porsche. Almost a second safe at the time. Might revisit and push a little more.

 

[WRP001]

I have a 1:56.2 after a couple sessions but I'd feel safer in the 1:55s. Fairly enjoyable combo after the last one and still have time to gain in the final chicane alone so will keep at it the next few days.

 

[Dolph Drago]

I decided to put in my first session at the Nurb before watching the video guides. 1:57.088 in the Porsche.

A couple of things I realized after watching the videos:
1. Holy crap! The aliens are fast and put in such incredible laps seemingly without a sweat.
2. I struggle with trail braking, so that may hinder me some in this TT.
3. I can abuse the track limits MUCH more than I realized. They entering extremely wide into the corners using all the curbing. And the chicane? I can seriously drive my car right over the bollard without penalty?? I reckon I could take off half a second or more there alone.

I'll give it another go this weekend, maybe tomorrow. I'm confident I can get into the mid 56's. More optimistically I would love to hit the 55's. And I'll still be a good second and a half on the aliens.

 

[GTboyz]

I need to stop going into this thread, I want to stop being tempted at making myself go insane in these TT

 

[ColinNZ]

Managed to hold onto gold in the last one, so Doodle is still on my Christmas Card list (please note that this is a metaphorical list. Those on it are awesome; those who are removed owe me a beer.)

Took the Z4 for a few laps around Nurburgring (because someone had to) and got a 1:58.9. Then switched to the Supra and got that down to a 1:58.2. I've always been slow at this track, so I see many more laps ahead of me over the next two weeks.

 

[seadog777]

Took the Beetle out and got 2:04.xxx in the few laps I did which, surprisingly, put me into bronze! Don't see that lasting but have quite a few Gr.3s to try yet!

As long as two wheels are on the red/white curb on the final chicane, it's fair game. There's a good chunk of time hanging out in that area.

Should be worth noting the leaderboard isn't updated for a whole 24h before the deadline.
