I knew I can do thisbut having reached my limit at RBR (59.09x), I had to give it a go.

Thanks mate! Unfortunately no, I had the highest placement on the Daytona oval recently with the stupid VGT spaceship, P36 I think, but if we are talking about the TTs that actually require driving skill, yes, this will be my best position. I remember on my old account I had like a P70 in a Mustang (Laguna with tuning), but this one is somehow more rewardingMate congratulations!!!! Such a satisfying feeling when you nail a target!! Will this be your highest placing in TTs?? 🥳 🙌🏽
58s would be very nice thereInto the 58.6s and it was almost a perfect lap for me…
Congrats y'all, I posted a long message above if anyone wants to look at it. I'm not trying to be negative or rude, I'm just venting my feelings.Thanks mate!

Much as you are a lovely guy Chris, none of this is a healthy way to approach gaming. These things are meant to bring you joy, not anger, stress and frustration. They are made for fun.Hey everyone, please listen to what I have to say.
You know what, to be honest, I really don't want to exert anymore energy on the RBR TT, it's not worth putting stress on my hands and body, see my fingers and thumbs are sore from pressing the buttons so much the past week. I hope my silver time holds, 1'01.354. I was lucky and fortunate to get that far, so.
I'm jealous that I can't be better than most people on here, sigh. But, you know I'm gonna have to let that ego go. I let my personal hygiene go by wasting 80-90 hours a week on gt7 for a year and a half, and still I could not make huge amounts of progress, I need to shave and get in the shower. I may have to go back to using the ghosts, cause I have to remember a lot of things while watching a replay. Here is the real me, if most of you haven't seen.

See my face breaking out a lot, that's what severe stress will do. I got frustrated sevreal times on the past recent 7-8 TT's and threw the controller and some of my games at the wall, thankfully nothing broke, but I have anger issues. Whenever I can't achieve or do something I throw a fit. If I can't apply and understand what advice/tips you guys give me, then I'm gonna have to give up. I don't want to but if the TT's aren't fun then I'm gonna have to find my stopping point.
See, here again I ran 294 laps at RBR and did not earn gold. Forget RA and that ****, I quit there about a week ago.
I watched Evilmuffin's, Dan's, Dolph's, crome's, and Gomario's replays and still could not duplicate what they did with the gear shifting. I stayed up for 2 days at one point to study YT videos and guides, and it still got me nowhere. I know me whining and complaining about this is not setting a good example for here, but I am frustrated, overwhelmed, stressed and agitated. I am human and I have feelings on it. Damn, I just want to throw this controller and just get a pad or wheel.
Sigh, it's so hard to stay calm in this situation, my mom complains about me not pulling my weight around the house, she does 70% of the work and I lounge around playing video games 15-20 hours a day. She said she would cut the internet off if I didn't start curbing my time which I don't think is fair either. Nothing is fair for me in this world. I'm sorry for the long replay but I have been holding it inside me the past year and I couldn't hold it anymore, I'm angry and stressed and I don't know what I could do to learn all the tricks necessary for the harder TT's.
EDIT: And sometimes I'll post stuff like I got a new PB, but no one responds or acknowledges it, they just post likes or emojis.
This is not the right forum for all of that.Congrats y'all, I posted a long message above if anyone wants to look at it. I'm not trying to be negative or rude, I'm just venting my feelings.
I hope everyone understands my frustration, I mean when you guys first began doing these TT's, weren't you having trouble or not doing as good as you thought you would do? I mean the initial day you bought gt7.
Chris, I can understand the feeling of frustration when you can't achieve your desired outcome. However, what you have described here are unhealthy habits. I have seen other GTP members recommend that you seek mental health assistance in your area for some of your concerns, and I am going to do the same. Please seek help to get some assistance with time management, anger concerns, and mental wellbeing. If this is affecting others' lives (i.e., your mother) then it is time to consider it. Please.Hey everyone, please listen to what I have to say.

Dude I'd put the video games away for a week or two. And actively try to think positively. Make a conscious effort to not think negatively, it makes a difference. Start doing pushups until you can do 50 in a row, go outside, ride your bike. If you don't have one, get a bike and start riding. Focus on self improvement, physical and mental health, positivity, helping and being kind to others around you. Above all be grateful for what you have and who you have in your life. You're not alone, everyone goes though rough patches man.Hey everyone, please listen to what I have to say.

Yes, the big physics change that reset all the leaderboard times happened in between the two occurrences showing up.Alright,
I dont know if anyone have noticed, but the RB X2019 at road atlanta is afaik the first repeat combo we've had, as standard TT I #13 (in december 2022) was the very same combo.
I did 59.381 then, and I really struggled to match that this time.
I managed to get down to 59.551, with optimal arond the mid to low .4xx, still not near the .381 I did last time.
So I looked at the top time, and the diffference is mind boggling!
Best time now is 59.078, and in november it was 58.457. A difference of almonst 6 tenths!
suddenly I feel quite pleased to be "only" 1,5 tenths behind
There must have been a physics change that has affected this car since then. I refuse to believe that the car is the same as it was then, when the difference is that big...
We're on softer tyres as well this time which also shows much difference the physics madeYes, the big physics change that reset all the leaderboard times happened in between the two occurrences showing up.
Congrats, mega drive!I had one final push with the X2019 today. Found a nice flow (finally) and broke my previous record a couple of times, and then this happened: 0:59.423, twice, on back-to-back laps. Talk about consistency?

Also tried the M3 for the last time, but couldn't beat my previous time. Should still be enough for the top 10. This one I liked a lot!

Well see I can't delete my post now, so maybe I shouldn't do that anymore. I'll just be quiet and just drive to the best of my ability. But no more trying to get gold right now, that's off my radar. I am gonna find a therapist to go to later this month. I didn't mean any harm guys.Chris, I can understand the feeling of frustration when you can't achieve your desired outcome.

Moreover, there are other threads for mental health-related concerns around the GTP forum where you can post replies such as this one and have conversations about it there. You may not be receiving much response here because this is a GT7-specific forum where players come to talk about the fun they're having when they have the chance to play. You're right, whining about it won't get you anywhere, but if you need help finding resources then this community, and many others outside of it, may be willing to help if asked.
We all want to see everyone do well and be well. Please take care of yourself.

@BWX I'm saving up to buy an expensive bike and some other things to occupy my life instead of staying indoors all the time. Thanks.
@djolliea congrats, I'm happy for you.
@ERAZER try not to be harsh, I am going to therapy later this month to help me control my anger. I wish I could delete that long message, but it's too late.
It's time to just let go of perfection, having fun is more suitable for gaming.
That is response and acknowledgement. It's literally called the "Reaction" system, and it allows people to react, quickly, without having to make posts about it. If you post about a new personal best and people "Like" it, people like it. It's that simple.EDIT: And sometimes I'll post stuff like I got a new PB, but no one responds or acknowledges it, they just post likes or emojis.
Cheers!Congrats, mega drive!
Seems you beat me again. Seems to be the norm nowadays![]()
I don't mean to stay off topic here, but I will just quickly add that one of the best things I've done for my mental well being was to start seeing a therapist. Being honest with someone who understands the human psyche and can objectively offer guidance and understanding is powerful. I highly highly recommend finding someone you click with to help.Well see I can't delete my post now, so maybe I shouldn't do that anymore.

Thank you for the kind words. Well I'm looking forward to a fresh new TT tomorrow and to go back to the Big Willow TT, I've had a blast there.I don't mean to stay off topic here, but I will just quickly add that one of the best things I've done for my mental well being was to start seeing a therapist.

And please, just enjoy the game. This isn't a competition. Everyone has different abilities and levels within those abilities. Some of the fastest humans that play this game post here. It's ok that you aren't able to match times like those. They are exceptional.
Cheers Chris. Take care, please.
Deja vu...To lightly echo what others have been saying, this thread is primarily for the discussion of the Gran Turismo 7 Time Trials.
Thanks! I play on controller on PS4. Only driving assist enabled is ABS on default, I find the rest tend to just get in the way and I'm not a fan of playing with Countersteer assist. I don't have any lap recordings, sometimes I forget to save the best lap replay, but even when I do remember to save it, I don't have a quick and easy way to upload them thanks to Australian internetThats a great time dude, Whats your setup for your game there matey??? Do you prefer using assists and and any recording of the lap for reference?
