@Griff0 hello, welcome to the TT club. I'm Chris if you want to know who I am. If you need assistance with any TT, just ask the pros here. They are fast and extremely well at battling these hard TT's everyday. So, I hope you find this site fun and addicting like I did.

So, happy lapping and driving! And enjoy your Sunday evening!

My dear friend @Pesselles I especially don't want you to get angry or upset (because it's very bad for your health at your age 🤣🤣) but know that I have further improved my time in Sardegna. I'm thinking of stopping on this time because I'm well under 1'04 as I want (even if I still think I can do better).

New improve and maybe the last for this TT at 1'04'829

You are playing with my nerves @Jeje6410. So, i put a new entry for the French leaderboard ^^
 
Hi all,

new here - my very first post.
I'd say I'm a GT veteran, started on the PS1 (first one for me was actually GT2 and then GT1) and played every part since.
But I'm a 'casual' veteran, only playing single player and with controller.
Now GT7 with PS5 and Controller.
Been reading and following GTPlanet since GT5 I think. Now decided to finally sign up.

Now to time trialing:
I have mostly sliver with some bronze and the occasional gold.
To be honest, silver was what I was aiming for. Mostly fairly easily achievable, so a quick Million credits. Gold seemed to far away or too much of a struggle.
But lately I've gotten a bit more ambitious. Got an easy gold with the Ford at Grand Valley and also golded the EVO IX at RBR - took me a few more attempts and the guide from Tidgney

Then came Le Mans in the Veyron GR4
Well, this is were the ambition to to me. Easy silver after a couple of laps, gold seemed to far off again.
But this time I put in some hours in time trialing, just to find out how much is possible for me.
Had a long session, putting in close to 500KM
And, I got into GOLD :)

So, 3 in a row.
Could be even 5 in a row. The Daytona one seems easy, gold for now but still some improvements possible.
Also the Dino wasn't to hard to get into gold territory, but I hink I might need to have another go here 😓

Once you gold, you will not want to go back to silver.....at less that was what happened to me >.>
 
Managed to snag another quick run tonight before the start of the week. Started to get the hang of the Dino for a healthy improvement over yesterday, although I’m still too cautious in the last two turns. Would love to keep grinding this one but no more time now.

That run got me just over the daily marathon limit. I was rewarded with a 4* ticket which netted me the Ferrari invitation so I went and bought the Enzo!!

Decided to have a quick go at Daytona - not sure which comedian dreamed this up 😂 but not my idea of fun. Gold and quit!

Little little little... improve in Sardegna to 1'05'015 at 1'05'010 with optimal time at 1'04'884 !!!! I hate the last turn !!!!!
Yeah I hate the last turn too. I can't seem to get any kind of consistency and I find it really frustrating. Positioning the car for the perfect exit is very hard when the rear wants to break loose. Achieving the correct level of smoothness is difficult on controller and my paws really aren't up to the task:lol:

I checked my time around Daytona to see if it’s still within gold yesterday. How in the hell did this Jeddah guy manage to make me grind on an oval? :crazy:

After 600 km of running around(!!!) on a DualSense, I finally got it back into the gold region. Praying this does not escalate any further, because if it does by a few hundredths, then I’m back into silver, and this time I’m really out of tricks, except using my wheel.

Omg 😱 1 millisecond! So unfair 😔
 
Many laps today whether on Daytona or Sardegna.
No improvements on Daytona with still a time of 35'660. Even when lowering the steering wheel FF, I made more invalid turns than good turns.
For Sardegna, many more laps but no improvement on my time of 1'05'015, despite laps at 1'05'1xx. But I'm not consistent enough, and I manage to have an optimal time of 1'04'831.
So I believe in it, hoping to be able to do it this evening otherwise it's ruined by Thursday !!!!
My friend @Pesselles that still gives you a chance to be under 1'05 before me 🤞🤞🤞

Not hearing from @Circleof6ths makes me sick !!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

So I wanted to say thanks and hello in my first post. Happy lapping..See you later...
