Excellent time.
I've got down to about 150 places below you with a 1:00.088. Gold should be safe so Mission Sub-1 starts now.

Not the faintest clue how any of you are even below 1.03, I can't break 1.04, all over the road. Near undriveable for me.
, less movement in the wheel is a bonus.

I did a few more laps yesterday and improved to a 1:00.668. On that lap I stuffed the exit of the second last corner, getting on the throttle a tiny bit too early. If I didn't, I might've got the gold time by the skin of my teeth.

Another baby step drop of .034..1:00.775..confidence is still high.

I was away for the weekend and returned to find my “comfortable” gold of 1:00.6xx was now silver.
Half an hour later, and I’ve got a 1:00.321. I don’t understand how the aliens do turn 3. Vendetta is running 2 wheels in the grass, but that’s an automatic spin for me. I’m also losing time at the 2 right handers where I seem to either understeer terribly or almost stop.
Either of those done properly should see me break the magic 1 minute. But I’m not sure I have the patience for it.

It also is in the low speed turns. Throttle control.

i'm beginning to get frustrated now lol, i'm just not quick enough this time
slippin and sliding, wrong gears, to chicken to go full throttle ......
Below a good example of my frustration and problem, i need to be far more agressive but when i do, i'm backwards almost immidiately

Had a stab at this last night. I think I ran three laps, maybe four. Not sure I'm going to enjoy this one at all! First lap was a 1:25!!! Managed to get down to a 1:08... But really not my kinda combo at all. I may be back to have another go, but unsure.
Any difference in the standard car and the 25th anniversary version? I see they have different PP numbers but that may be because I've messed around with my settings... ??

No, they are the same. If you've messed about with them, the BOP adjustment ensures your car is at the correct settings and PP.
I just rent them; why put mileage on my own cars when I can thrash and return theirs?

Because they're virtual cars, we all got this one for free, it really doesn't matter, and I like to run my own liveries.
Gold time is now down to 1:00.474.

Yeah, I get that. But the turn 3/4 transition particularly is so hard. You have to try and carry a lot of speed, but you’re vulnerable to bouncing off the kerb and losing the tail. If you try and lift a bit to compensate, you lose momentum. The throttle control isn’t enough on its own to get you through.

I've put over four hours into this now. Hundreds of laps. I wouldn't like to see what percentage of laps are void/spin. It's impossible for me to get into a rhythm and bang out consecutive laps just to chip away at the time. I'm losing loads of time in Sector 1. Can't get the car into the right hander at the top of the hill and I'm way too slow through T5, like 15mph down. No way I can use the grass the way some people are.

So I didn't think I could do this one, but after a few days I have managed into silver, BARELY. I'm at a 1:01.632, I don't suppose anyone has any tips on how to get faster? I, like others, am curious how there are literal seconds a lap left on the table. I have to be missing something. I think the only corners that actually matter are 2, 3, and 5. Everything else is a joke in comparison. I got my time using auto trans and I'm starting to wonder if I'm not leaving a lot of time on the table not using manual. I've never done that or had to but maybe it's time to learn. In any case, if any of you have tips for how you got from just above a minute to under I would be very appreciative. Just getting gold would be a huge win for me. I did manage to get the gold on the willow springs and spa races. Spa was very difficult, but quite a joke in comparison to this TT.
The good news is, I am MUCH faster in Gr. 3 now lol. I've moved up from D to C class, and I'm pretty sure I'm not long for C class as I'm already halfway through it. So doing this TT is making my quite a bit faster. I also can't figure out how to put any other ghost other than myself up.

As a fan/player of Gran Turismo games since the start, GT7 has reached a point where it accurately reflects real motorsport insofar as you need to have money to compete. If you don't have PS5, you're at a massive disadvantage. Even then, if you don't have a decent wheel and pedals set-up, you're...

1:05 for bronze. Gave it a couple of laps, ain't gonna happen! Good, I need to spend a bit more time back at the circuits to build up my cash. Already giving up? I barely got laps in and I got sub 1:02 with a controller Try again, OP :cheers:

I've actually already watched the second one and how I got my time was to follow his strategy. Other than switching to manual I don't think his advice helps anymore. Maybe manual trans in this car really is worth almost 2 seconds a lap lol.

EDIT: Watching the first one, I think, yes, manual trans is required. Look at T7 in particular, he gets up to speed MUCH faster than I can with auto trans. This gives a lot of drive on that straight.
