My .341 at Tsukuba almost fell out of the top 100
My .347 will certainly fall out of the top 100 but who cares :D I really don't like it, took the Nissan for a spin last night, in 5 laps didn't even manage to warm up properly and I gave up, it's horrible :D

But then I jumped back into the Citroen and literally in the first 10 minutes managed to improve my time a little, nailing the chicane properly this time :)

True its horrible, very glad it's over 🤣
That's a serious lap buddy, 20th , well done!..
I have to go back too.... 94 already..... this one is going to be a real struggle for me to top 100, and depends on what we are going to get tomorrow if I'll go back 🤣
 
I didn't really need or want to, but I ended up going back at it at Spa to try and get some of the time down that I knew I had left in the lap and ended up with a 2:00.192.

I remember why I had left it where I left it last (besides putting in several hundred laps at Tsukuba, haha), as I ruined so many laps either by hitting those stupid, stupid bollards, or spinning it right after the last turn, just before the end of the lap. Obnoxious.
 
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all got some goodies (hopefully GT7 related).

Have had a really busy week and didn't have much time for trialing, fortunately I predicted this and put in a banker session at Spa.

I'm sure my ranking has dropped substantially since this screenshot.

But what I was really interested in and spent some time last night and a cheeky bit today was the Mines BNR34 at Tsukuba.

Guess this is an unpopular opinion but I really love the way this car handles. Love an AWD car with a loose rear end and the ability to power slide out of corners, this trial was a dream for me.

Was a bit of a challenge finding that final 2 tenths as I was stuck at 57.4 for a while, but eventually nudged that down today over the space of 50km.

Final lap had a bit of a slack S1 but S2 and S3 were perfection for my standards.



Gr4 at Catalunya short feels pretty boring so hopefully today's trial is more interesting.

Hope everyone enjoys their day!

Unpopular perhaps, but you're not alone. I thought it was great as well! Also it had almost 220K participants, which, if I did not miscount, made it the tenth most played time trial to date. Setting aside personal preferences, I think this also speaks volumes of the ongoing popularity of GT7 almost four years after its release.

Congrats, phenomenal S3 indeed!

Merry Christmas everyone!
GOOD
 
Haha, usually I would point to TCS, but here I felt like it was seriously holding me back, so just raw skills I guess 🤣. Helps with my impostor syndrome, ngl. 😉
tried TC1, 2 and 3, I felt like 3 was too much, 2 a bit too much and 1 just right, but in any case I was watching you dart in the future after each hairpin while I was struggling to put power down as gently as possible

compared the laps with data logger, it looked like you were jumping straight to 100% throttle while my graph was showing a squiggly ascending curve, re-inforcing my perplexity "how does he manage that ???!" 😅
 
Hi,

If you celebrate Christmas - I hope you all have a happy and peaceful one.

If you don't - I hope you all have a happy and peaceful holiday!

@Lomic - The new TT at Grand Valley is a Power Pack only car.

The last chicane at Catalunya has smashed my hopes of a really good placing to smithereens! My "red lap" times are well into the 15's. My best so far is a very low 1:16:1xx.

1 more week of bashing my Citroen over sausages. Oh lordy lordy.

Very best regards to all here.

Ian.
 
Picked two silvers and additional 5mills from Power Pack I bought for Christmas, so 7m more to spend. I think it will go on McLaren F1 94.

New TT looks good, but I can't find car to buy it.
 
first session done and ofcourse GV and his tracklimits are a pain 🤪. it takes a bit of gettin use to after driving a lot with gr4 cars

edit already better
