Well, morning session on Le Mans and a slight improvement of my gold time (~300ms) - but look at that optimal 🤔
Let's keep pushing!

This is a good plan. Proven to work.I'm brainstorming how to tackle the RBR quick in my Evo, my livery is a red/orange car, I want to make the livery fiery so my car can get faster and stronger.
Ehh nooo, I was kidding about wishing you good luck!!!!! You're not supposed to be that fast...
AAAAAAAHHH 🔥
Just like that, it clicked! Entered the world top 1000 and top 3 on my friends list. Buzzing with this time 😍🙏
Awesome time! Wouldn't be surprised if you improve even further now that it clicked. That's what happened to me anyway.AAAAAAAHHH 🔥

In order:Those of you who use VR (I think @djolliea @crome @Evilmuffin @GlockPants )
Thanks
- Would you say you prefer it over flat screen?
- Do you think it has contributed to your improvement?
- If you used a different driving view before VR, do you feel the forced interior view is limiting? I use bumper cam.
It is quite an immersive experience. My situation is a bit unusual as I must use the PSVR2 headset as my TV and Logitech wheel do not play nicely together with the HDMI smart link and I've fried two wheels and a PS5 twice because of it. The image isn't quite as sharp as the flat screen but you quickly don't realize it as you acclimate to the new first person POV.Those of you who use VR (I think @djolliea @crome @Evilmuffin @GlockPants )

Moderators, I realise this is off topic but I hope youll indulge me. I know something about the skill levels of people in this thread so their views would be more meaningful to me than people i don't know in a hardware thread.
After VR I can't play on flat screen anymore. Being able to turn my head and see where the apex and the exit is at is hugh. Not to mention I can judge the distance to the corner much better.Those of you who use VR (I think @djolliea @crome @Evilmuffin @GlockPants )

I use VR but not always. Most of the time I'm faster in VR but not always. It's more of a hassle to wear and interior VR view can sometimes be slower than what I use on flat screen which is "bumper" cam mostly. But yeah I have found the interior view in VR can have its disadvantages on some car/ track combos for me, especially in right hand drive cars which I can't judge the corners of as well as I can left hand drive cars. There's pros and cons. No delta time is huge con for time trials.Those of you who use VR (I think @djolliea @crome @Evilmuffin @GlockPants )

No, it's really not that intuitiveHow do you race against someones ghost? Tried that yesterday to see where I loose so much time but didn't get it to work somehow. Guess I'm a bit blind or straight up dumb 😅
100%. I haven't had any desire or reason to play on a flat screen since I got into VR almost a year ago. The sensation, as if you were actually driving instead playing a video game, in my opinion outweighs any minor graphical shortcomings or the lack of on-screen information (deltas, gaps, leaderboard). I've never been so immersed in a game before.Those of you who use VR (I think @djolliea @crome @Evilmuffin @GlockPants )
- Would you say you prefer it over flat screen?
Yes. VR has definitely helped me develop a deeper understanding of how to be fast and more consistent. Depth perception and the ability to look around corners or focus on the apex make driving, and for example judging braking points more natural. Also, my spatial awareness is better, and even the actual physics make more sense to me in VR.
- Do you think it has contributed to your improvement?
I rarely used the cockpit cam on a flat screen because it felt so limiting. I used the roof cam. In VR however, the 'cockpit cam' feels only natural because it's a real-life-sized 3D space, and it's not any more limiting than driving a real car. It's a completely different experience than on a flat screen. Obviously, some race cars have more cramped cockpits, which can limit your visibility, but I couldn't imagine using any other cam/perspective in VR.

Thank you very much 🙃No, it's really not that intuitive
In the TT, go to Settings -> Ghost Settings, activate "Display loaded Ghost". Depending on your preferences, choose an offset (which is the distance from the ghost, 0.5 seconds works for me) and whether you want to reset to this offset after each sector, which is helpful if the ghost is significantly faster than you and would otherwise pull away.
You can load the ghost either directly from the the global ranking, if you're interested in one of the top players. If you want a specific ghost shared by a player you know, you can look it up in the showcase section of the game (bottom left icon on the main menu), and add it to your collection. Back in the ghost settings, it will show up when you choose "Load ghost". HTH
I used to always use the vr on GT Sport, even though it was limited to single player time trial, but as others have said it adds a much more natural feeling to steering, braking, track elevations, I can only imagine how much better the quality of the VR2 would make it.@crome @GlockPants @Evilmuffin @BWX @djolliea thank you for the detailed thoughts. That has been really helpful.
Can you put my stats in the data as well, my username is: rising_glass1. If you wouldn't mind.@crome @GlockPants @Evilmuffin @BWX @djolliea thank you for the detailed thoughts. That has been really helpful.
No, not thank you, and no thank you to you too who asked those questions !@crome @GlockPants @Evilmuffin @BWX @djolliea thank you for the detailed thoughts. That has been really helpful.
You are already on the list. See for example the last results where you were 94th on the list.Can you put my stats in the data as well, my username is: rising_glass1. If you wouldn't mind.

I might try for 18 but this is such a long lap and I have so little time currently to grind. I fell like I have a lot left but it's not super interesting and I have other things to kill time with. Anyway, cheers all. This place is insanely active lately and it's awesome to read even if I'm not on as much. Thanks for all the tips and tricks, as always. 🍻🍻
My best time of 1'50.592 so far! I really hate the first two turns, you can see I took a shot at using the MT again and it went okay, but I still lost some time somewhere in Sectors 1-2. I think I'm doing all right at Sector 3, well that last tight turn before the finish line is a lap killer. I had about 5 good laps and I mucked up at the end at that evil turn.
I don't think I'm taking advantage of the full width of the track. I gotta find a better button setup for the gear shifts up/down, braking and the accelerating. I tried the motion sensor 2-3 times and I am really bad at it so that won't work for me.
Anyone got any tips for me? I'm trying to figure out how I can save time at the first two turns. I'm learning the MT well I still misjudge shifting the gears, sometimes I drive on the wrong gear, 3 instead of 2. I know one thing timing is the key for using MT to get incredibly super low lap times.
Going into the hairpin I jump hard on the brakes as soon as I hear the beep to start sector 2 and drop down to second gear then turn in and change up to 3rd gear just before the hairpin and then get back on the gasAnyone got any tips for me?

I hadn't noticed that, I was just turning in following a ghost for T1There's a little piece of white curb in the breaking area, that's your turning point.
