I tried the Genesis today too (after reading your post) and I must say I was very surprised. I got to within a couple of tenths of my PB (in the Citroen) with only 5 laps. Felt like a real plodder - not an exciting car to drive, especially in AT, and I was quite shocked at the time that registered! Thanks for the tip, I will try this a bit more and try to improve my PB and make silver a bit more safe.
I actually had a go with a few other cars. My gut feeling is the Supra is the fastest although I only did a few laps with the SLS; it is far less stable but you can get more rotation in just about every corner, it’s so resistant to understeer under power (like all rear wheel drive cars should be, take it Polyphony Digital 👀). The SLS like a lot of the other cars are more stable and consistent, so for most of us mortals it’s a case of pick your favourite and chase gold!
I haven't tried the 4C yet, started with the Ferrari, then the GT-R, SLS and the "Macca" .... stil fastest with the SLS with 1 thousand of a second
Ok, ok , you make your " thing" but you forget something, me and @Lomic we are bad .Hi everyone
Back here and on GT7 after some Nordic holidays 🥶
Not much to say about the new TT at Autopolis, except it's a perfect training and a good opportunity to finally getting gold for expert drivers like @smoothbore12 and @Lomic
I've tested different Gr.4 cars and I had good sensations with the NSX. And after +/- 10 laps in 1:56.1xx / 1:56.3xx, I finally string all the best sectors in the same lap (without ghost, video or wheel...).
Et voilà, mission accomplished

As usual, the replay is available in game for everyone.
If I have some motivation, I could probably try to improve this first yellow score to join the "Sub 1:55".
you are right, I was planning to write it with my post but I forgot, so I edited it, I've done 80 laps. Compared to 10 laps or so of @Pesselles or @Guffaluff who gets gold on his second lap, I feel very tiny ☺️
Yes and yes
and my best lap is with the Alfa
yeah I hope someday to reach that lofty position. lol...I'm focused on getting the Legends cars and the Invite cars. Brand Central in general I don't care so much. They are just sitting there and I can knock them off one at a time as I choose. but the manufactured scarcity of the Legends Dealer plus the invite system is a pita and I'd like to get that all in the rear view mirror asap. Unfortunately, that means I need a ton of credits because the Legend cars are also the most expensive cars by a wide margin.
1. Think positive, you're still faster than GOD @smoothbore12
(not too complicated)
Seeing how much he was faster than everyone at our last encounter at Big Willow, I'd say I am only faster for now because he did not even tried.
Excuse-me sir, but I already follow @Tidgney's ghost, so I think I'll stick with this gentleman's ghost as there is no debate on the matter of his speed and skills (I should watch his lap guide too...)
Yeah but there are so much cars to try, someone a few posts above was recommending the 458, and I was a bit tempted by the Genesis. And trying new cars is fun but you never know if it is the best car for you, even with some bad laps, it may mean you are not used to the car. On the opposite if you beat your record after a few laps, it is motivating.
There's no dilemma for me because it's mainly a matter of feelings with the car.
It is a dilemma because I don't know if the cars I have not tried yet may be faster for me and I should try to get the answer, or if I should instead keep on lapping with the Alfa (or the Citroën).
As I try at most one car per day, and it takes me at least 5-6 laps to get used to each new car to be able to estimate its potential, I will have a choice to make anyway at one time. Probably will try 2 or max 3 new cars and then make a choice till the end of the TT.The answer is simple: give a try to the others GR.4 and once you have the best car for you, you'll find the way to the gold mine
If I may add my humble 2 cents, what it works for me most of the time are the following:
I 100% second this message!
That's me trying to go faster and faster at the beginning of a TT. But on this TT I am already past this phase, and I prefer taking the risk to be too slow in a corner than overdrive it, as the penalty is less severe and it does not compromise next turn if it is close.
It happens to me all the time, thats why my first two laps are the best ones.
I'd take the other way around: experiment with a couple of car, just 2-3 laps, to see how you feel, than stick to one and try to squeeze from it as much as you can. Maybe choose one with replays available, so that you can ghost it and compare apple to apple.
2-3 laps is not enough for me, most of the time my best lap with any given car (that I am used to or not) does not come until lap 8-9.
I wrote than "she only wanted to murder me on every slow exit" but not that it was only there, it is just the kind of place where it was the most obvious to me 😅Only on slow exit? On the left sweeper in the 2nd sector, I had to fight understeer in just about all the cars....the Supra was the only one that tried kill me by spinning it's rear around
