It was more difficult than I originally thought as well. I tried for a bit and set an ok time, then I had to go eat dinner so I told myself one more lap. And on that one clutch last lap I actually improved by a significant amount, so I was pretty happy with that. I think that time is safe, so I won't be going back.
It is called "Heimvorteil" I think... Congrats!View attachment 1368514
Took me a while until i got turn 2 and 3 decent but with the help of 3rd placed ghost and Tidgneys ghost I'm now into gold territory.
Hummm, we already have some German players in sandals, but we'll welcome you with no judgment (and no fair-play, of course ^^)ACHTUNG ! Mandatory BBS rims! <3
Edit: in all seriousness, this sounds like a riot
My best S1 is 22.4
There is a rent option 🙈
On PS5 Pad as well and my best in S1 was 21.9 but that only happened maybe 10 times in over 900km in total. Never got through T1 flat out. Whenever I tried I flew into the wall.
In my defense, I opt for Birkenstock or flip flops. Never go full sandal.Hummm, we already have some German players in sandals, but we'll welcome you with no judgment (and no fair-play, of course ^^)
Impressive time with lifting in T1. I'm only sitting at 1:00.9XX atm, but occasionally getting through T1 full throttle in a hit or miss scenario. It does seem to work with a smoother entry with only 1/8 to 1/4 steering input at first, then smoothly swing into full lock to hit the apex and smooth out the exit. It's easy to overdrive this corner on pad and very difficult to get right and the bumps on entry don't help either. The aero does a lot, but you have to let it do its thing and smooth is definetely faster here.
Speaking of cliché, what about a race on a German circuit with a BMW (stands for Bretzel, Mannschaft, Warsteiner)...None of us wear the classic sandals, but we had to fulfil a German cliché to be recognized by our French and Greek friends. We preferred the sandal cliché to the sauerkraut cliché

I see, I was watching your video yesterday and was wondering what is happening with controls, acceleration and brake. If I was you, I would without a doubt switch to L2/R2 to brake/accelerator and X Square for gears, I have X gear up, Square gear down. Keep in mind there will be small learning curve but we noticed from DolphDrago better times after he switched, we also noticed better times from Gomario when he switched to DualSense, so go for it and you will get there after some time.
Hi Chris. You asked this question a couple days back and got a few responses but I'll respond again in a little more detail. Changing the button config isn't going to get you a gold in the short term. It takes time to get used to...especially if you've been using the same config for a long long time. But just in a general sense I'd offer a few suggestions. First, I think it's safe to say most people who use controllers for GT (including myself) use the L2/R2 triggers for brake and accelerate. They are analog and have a range of motion that fairly accurately mimics an actual brake or gas pedal. You can apply smaller or greater amounts of both as you wish. Also, using the triggers allows you to apply a bit of throttle and brake at the same time which is often a useful thing but is impossible with buttons unless you happen to be blessed with two thumbs or are a contortionist lol. Gear changes on the other hand are really a digital switch. There's never a time where you're driving along in 3rd gear and you'd like to apply just a hint of 4th gear. You either switch to 4th or you stay in 3rd. Therefore, buttons make a lot more sense for gears. So, I'd suggest you might want to try getting used to using the following:
