The results for TT62 are over here.

I've also updated the opening post with the index of TTs and the second post with the community leader boards.

Interim Results for TT63 at Autodromo Nazionale Monza in the Genesis X Gran Berlinetta VGT Concept.

I had a good start at Autopolis, getting within 0.5s of gold with the Silvia after just three laps, and then within 0.1s with the Supra after 3 more laps.

My optimal is 1:55.5xx which is 0.5s inside the current gold time, but the first corner / sector need some work. Sector 3 is usually solid for me, but I managed to screw it up on the one lap where I got Sectors 1 and 2 right - I caught a glimpse of my delta and I think I was almost 0.7s up on my best time, and I lost my composure going into the last Sector.

That said, I think it will be touch and go for me to gold this one, even though it's one of my favourite tracks, and Gr.4 suits me well here too.

Just kidding, but I will never again be able to take a picture like this, so I had to treasure the moment
 
Day 1 on the new TT. I prefer this much more than the Genesis.

I like to start with a non-meta car. Usually my Cayman Clubsport. It's ok, but the gearing isn't the best fit for tracks with long straights. Very nice in the twisties though. 15 laps and I'm into Gold for now.

Thank you ! Now everyone can see that I am last and not even in bronze, I'll have to amend that tonight 🤣 hopefully I'll be in bronze and in front of @seadog777 and @OldandSlow 😁 don't thank me guys, it is a gratuitous kick in the balls, now I run away with my shame 😅
Been there and done that, now in bronze in front of @seadog777 and @OldandSlow feel free to improve and push me down in the bottom of the rankings, I don't want to ear anymore of this combo !!

And 5min later I was doing the weekly at Monza with the same car

What a day!
Returned from doctor and immediately turned on PS5 and GT7.
Went for my Civic mill reward, when I saw that I have 99 100 million credits - I triggered circle as I could, but couldn't prevent reward pop in.
Normally, credits cap is 100 millions and I lost 1 million, so it came out as I got silver... :(

Drove few laps at Monza, can't do anything, so I started with new TT.
First I used M4, then switched to 650S and with him did best time.

And that's it, good night!
 
fyi, offset has nothing to do with BoP.
It doesn't, but BoP does allow for you to equip wider offset wheels, and in some cars ride height and offset cause the steering to "catch the fenders" and stop responding, especially during suspension compression and braking.

All of the EK civics seem to be suceptible to this, even with a widebody. Many other cars in game experience this as well.

Can't go quickly when your steering stops responding to inputs, then snaps back to position! This happened to me pretty frequently in turn one and at the bottom of the hill.

While BoP allows for wheel customization, it doesn't allow for ride-height adjustment, so these steering issues can't be tuned out.
