Spent another 40 minutes last night - got within a tenth of my best multiple times but didn't improve, so still on a 2:12.8. My optimum was a 2:12.6 which is frustrating! Yet again I can do a decent time... on different laps!
I see quite a few of you saying ASM helped... I'm loathe to mess around with any settings as I'm used to mine (dualsense, ABS = 1), but if it helps I might have to!

Indeed they are.
But I should mention here that some of these guys, waste hours upon hours to do these times. Thousands, yes, thousands of kms they put on these cars just to get that perfect lap.
They obviously have insane skill (otherwise they wouldn't be constantly at the top) but they also put a ton more effort than us mere casuals.
EDIT: h0ll1, the australian guy in the top 10, used to have many world records in Gran Turismo 4. He once posted a video of doing some tries "live" at the Nurburgring... and you would be surprised at the amount of retries and hours he spends to achieve that perfect lap. It's something far, far from reasonable.

@KCR my experience with Dualsense. Allow me to go back long in time, when I was driving Colin McRae Rally, I was using steering wheel from Microsoft. Life took some path and I was not playing for like 20 years. In the beginning of year I got ps4 pro and started playing GT Sport, on controller. I realised that after I used steering wheel for some time, even if it was long time ago, getting used to stick on controller, was a challenge for me. One thing in particular was when I hit some curve and I sense I am losing rear end, I kinda had hard time to correct it with stick. I realised that gt sport had also motion steering and decided to try. It took some time and I said to myself, it's like going to gym, first work out will not make me fit, but I need to repeat it many times.
With this long intro, I am not going back to stick and for now not considering getting steering wheel either. I got ps5.
I find it easier for me to angle curve and correct steering when needed. I can drive 1000km a day and not get tired (read again what I said about going to gym 😁)
I do however need to point out, there is a bug in motion sensor steering!!! In some combos of track and car, example Fuji Time trial with SF19, steering just get shaky for some reason. Try if you want, use cockpit view, that was previous time trial, maybe it works for you, but it looks like it's bug, but we know PD, impossible to send a bug report.
I hope I answered your question, even if it was a bit long, but I felt background story contributed to explanation.

I mean you can test yourself in the time trial on World Circuit.

I'm hoping my 16.2 is still a Silver.
@Nuschel01 tried your lines and braking points and couldn't even get into the 16's, makes me think there's clearly something about the way I approach understeer that's fundamentally slower. I find it much easier to replicate your lines using the controller, which to me is very telling. I'm clearly backing off way too much when I sense understeer through my wheel.

I was running consistent 16's, then I watched @Nuschel01 lap carefully and noticed where he was braking, half-throttle or full, and made note of his cornering speeds. After that I managed to knock 1 sec off my lap time.

It's not possible now, but it was back then - you could run everything offline with earlier versions of GT, and a TT time would only be uploaded when you connected to the internet.

Getting nervous that my 2:14.845 time will stand as Gold. Do I need to give it another crack, with ASM turned on? lol

I doubt you will need to do it, but on the other hand, it's always nice to shave off few milliseconds. What is your OPT lap time?

What i meant was the three previous gold time drops were .058 .017 .035, wasn't expecting a drop of .074 .

Fair enough.
