Time Trial Discussion

[CobraMJD]

Omg... Annoying car, I'm always losing control on that high speed turn. =\

 

[Fezzik]

Well I won’t be spending much time on this one. Evil machine. Only made it through 130R once so far without crashing. Just get a solid silver and moving on.

 

[Barareklam]

Now let's hope for a pad friendly one now cause my hands are done 🤣

oh dear.... VGT, Suzuka, Pad... don't know how much will it be pad friendly....

...next one will be Gr 4 I guess

Number of TTs with normal cars, between TTs with VGT cars:
37 (none in the first 37 TTs), 9, 7, 6, 7, 1

With so many real cars to choose from, this increasing frequency of VGT cars is a disappointing trend in my view.

 

[Chrome_PuPXD]

I have driven the Gr1 version of the McLaren and found it to be quite enjoyable to drive.
I haven't checked yet, but hopefully the non-Gr1 version doesn't have 2000bhp and ruins the driving feel that Gr1 has.

 

[CobraMJD]

The onboard camera is amazing though

Somehow I smell Dragon Trail Seaside in new TT.

I would guess that there is some economical agreement behind that we do not know about and is reason why we are getting VGTs. Would not surprise me much if all brands that has VGTs in game get one TT each? Maybe I am wrong, what are statistics saying about VGT Brands and TTs, what are your 9, 7, 6, 7, 1 numbers referring to ?

 

[Chris30]

You know I haven't seen a TT in Dragon Trail in a while, last one was the Group 3 challenge at Seaside. I was bitching and complaining about the death chicane, how I hate going through it and even looking at it. That says it all.

 

[Gomario JSP]

You have got to be kidding me.............

3 TT's in a row that are not the best imo, this one is indeed going to be a pain in the rear..

Somany things to choose from.....

 

[Bojador]

Is that on racing or sport tyres?

I thought about money as well, but if McLaren is paying them to use their car, why not use an actual car rather than a VGT? And I can't imagine Lamborghini and Bugatti are relying on any sales coming from a GT7 player using a VGT in a TT.

My thursday morning...

1. Collecting Cr. 2.000.000 from Daytona TT

2. Seeing the new TT combo on Suzuka

3. Testing @smoothbore12 settings on Le Mans 900 PP race... No lap under 3:30...

4. Seeing @Lomic faster than me on Fuji with the GT-One

5. Seeing the Citroen invitation in the roulette... and getting a Cr. 10.000 exhaust

Agreed - I quite like the Gr1 car. I use it as a Sardegna grinder, tuned down to 800pp. I've not actually driven the standard VGT yet. Don't own it. Seems like this one might be an opportunity to "buy it for free" by getting a "solid silver and moving on" as per @Fezzik

Now you know that you can get gold 😁

[Gomario JSP]

I'm gonna paint this orange before i even set one step at Suzuka...

 

[half_sourly]

The results for TT71 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 TT72 at Fuji International Speedway in the Toyota GT-One (TS020) '99.

Spoiler: GTP Leaderboard

Spoiler: 0.1second increments

Oh my, Fuji and Suzuka. This is going to be a doozie. You better get plenty of snacks and refreshments cause we'll be stuck at Suzuka for quite a while. I feel like I'm lost and trapped there trying to gain time anywhere.

Paint what orange, the finish line or the car?

Agree tough this vgt is almost real as Mclaran created Solus thats looks almost exactly as this vgt.

 

[skydragon49]

I'm totally not touching that evil combo of Suzuka + Mclaren VGT.

Dear Lord..... 😬

That seems to be painful.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial: Mac the Knife​

A new Online Time Trial is now available in Gran Turismo 7, giving a run out in a Vision GT concept car that inspired a limited-run track toy that won the Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb shootout...

 

[Chris30]

Wow, it won the Goodwood festival shootout!? That's interesting! That's a weird name, the Mclaren Solus VGT. I wonder what the significance of that name is. Ugh, we're dealing with soft tires which will make them have less grip.

Hey I noticed an error in the article! It says the track is Daytona Oval when the white letters clearly say Suzuka Circuit.

 

[Gomario JSP]

Oh my, Fuji and Suzuka. This is going to be a doozie. You better get plenty of snacks and refreshments cause we'll be stuck at Suzuka for quite a while. I feel like I'm lost and trapped there trying to gain time anywhere.

I'm not going to be stuck that long at Suzuka Chris, I am going to gold this and run like the wind
With a Orange painted car..... some people here seems to have luck with that colour.....

I know, I was just teasing, xD. I'm the one that may be stuck on this TT run.

 

[OldandSlow]

Is that on racing or sport tyres?

It's on CH.

 

[zjn]

Wow... suzuka... no matter the car it's another place that scares and intrigue me.
I'm very curious to see what it will deserve to me.

And this VGT: I don't like VGT, I like real cars, but this one is probably the one I don't like less, so I'm ok with it

This post will implode the exact moment I will do the first on track session

 

[ZevZoq]

Collected my 2 mil for the Daytona TT. My highest placing on the leaderboard so far! Best TT ever!

Put up a bronze time at Suzuka this morning but with the controller. Probably wont get any wheel time till tomorrow evening. I think I'm done with Fuji. I ran a bunch more laps last night and I'm just getting nowhere. I'll take the mediocre silver and move along.

 

[Chris30]

Yep, I collected my 2M for the Daytona time too, forgot to mention it earlier this morning. I better enjoy that because I don't know when I'll get another gold now that there are 2 hard VGT time trials to tackle on.
