No idea how you guys are getting gold in the Mazda. I can't get it to stop, turn or accelerate, which is a bit of a problem. I am usually within 2pc of the world record times at RBR in daily races in group 2 through 4 but man, stuck on a mid 36 with this thing, its horrible.
What I did on mine was swop the clutch potentiometer with the accelerator one. Worked fine albeit a bit fiddly to swop due to the incredibly thin wires.I think I may need to take apart my pedals to get to the gas pedal potentiometer because it's definitely starting to flake more noticeably now. I first noticed it way back on the Polestar 5 TT, and it seemed like blowing it out (with my mouth) and giving it a few stomps did the trick - for a while at least. Started noticing it again at the Nurburgring TT. I've got an air duster now, but I need to aim it a bit better and hopefully get dust out from the pot (maybe), but I think it isn't going to fully resolve itself and will eventually get worse.
In lieu of making a new thread, and based on what I've seen in some others (plus elsewhere online), it seems like this would be a good route, and an upgrade that is sealed and won't have issues in the future:

Potentiometer Upgrade Kit for Logitech G Series Pedals (v2.0) - G25/G27/G29/G920/G923
This kit replaces the standard Logitech pedal potentiometer with a high quality linear position sensor.www.axc-sim.com
And while I'm at it (and to get free shipping, I believe), I'm thinking this would be a great upgrade to the brake pedal, also eliminating any potential future potentiometer issues:

2 laps? Not my style!that TT drains my energy too fast (and I only do one or 2 laps each time)
Morning guys,
Little less active last week but i had busy times over here, lots of posts i still have to read, but congrats to all who managed to gold the 3 running trials, i see a lot of 3 times yellow on the crome addon 🫶
To be honest i had already given up on RBR.. beeing placed 44 will def get me another alien badgeand that's enough for me to be honest, doesn't realy matter to me if i'm 28 or 82....i''m just a badge collector

Monza can't draw me back in cause i am still 66 after those early sessions,that's gotta stick until thursday, i'll take it!
The ring..... maby IF the new TT on thursday is very crap i'll go again ( ooh it also ends on thursday i see lol ), but i just have trouble beeing focused the whole lap, just to long, my eyes get blurry from focussing ( have a little eye problem where i'm cross eyed with a wide view but my muscles can still correct so it's not visible, but when tired problems occure)
But .... i was awake early this day so had one hour to spare before work.
Still chose for the RX Vision cause i had several laps wich i binnen in the last sector what would have definately been faster that my .931
T1 is a pure lotery and realy a 1 out of 10 for a descent exit without invalidation.

T3 patience.....patience and more patience to get on throttle but got the hang of it this morning.
T4..... to 1th?.... sometimes yes, depents on my braking point what seems to be different every time..
T6 akward and annoying, personally i think this is the only corner that doesn't belong on this track, just doesn't work.
staying in 3rd is def. the key, dropping down to 2nd will upset the butt
I think my first lap was already a .1xx so the start wasn't all that bad but could not get T7 and T8 to work...
Personnaly i am faster 3rd in 4rd out there but the transition in weight + curb + shift is sooooo tricky, the least of steering angle on the controller will feed the oversteer....fun... but it does cost a lot of time.
So different approach this morning by staying in 4rd, slightly slower for me but a little more steady ( still driving on ice though )
Then T10, i think i went to fast in on my previous sessions so i also found some time there

With all the above combined i did yeeeet it to a new PB
Still some room to be fair but think this is it for me, was a fun one!

How long has it taken you to get this quick? Or is it simply natural talent lol?
Great to read!naah.... no raw natural talent
.
But i have played mor versions of GT in the past and always did have some feeling for it.
at first i played GT7 on the PS4, got quicker by following this thread and tried to copy the faster guys, watched lapquides from @Mistah_MCA and @Tidgney , both very usefull and realy a good way to learn brakepoint and gearing.
And now.... in rare occasion even the sensei becomes the master( VERY rare though
)
Then went over to PS5 that's what made a real difference for me, the haptic feedback of the triggers.
There are 5 realy important things to get faster in GT imo ( besides all the great advice from the people here )
1 - Learn the line
2 - Find the brakingpoints
3 - Trailbraking
4 - Gearing
5 - GTplanet advice :-)
The Trailbraking made the biggest difference in getting faster, the extra feeling thru the haptic feedback made it easier for me to trailbrake what leads to way more speed on the rotation to the apex.
It's not a wonderproduct to immidiately get faster, but is defininately helps feeling the brakes
Plus..... i practice alot, normally 5 days a week the alarm at 5:30 AM, one hour of timetrial before work and in the weekends the two morning sessions are a bit longer..., so dedication and practice pays of for me ...
So , maby looks like it's comes easy sometimes but there is more of a story behind it![]()
Another go at the Hyundai today, bit of a scrappy session where I learnt a lot in the last four or five sectors but kept making a mess of the Nurburgring GP circuit and the final corner so never really got to realise all the time I’ve improved on elsewhere
I’m into the ‘51s but still a way of @bliprunner ’s outrageous time; I think I’d have to string together a number of PB sectors to beat it and I’m not sure I have the consistency with this car, slightly over driving it seems to cost tons of time!
Still, improvement is improvement!

i am on strong for both of them and always on sensitivity 10Great to read!
About the haptic feedback - what's your settings on the controller? I have my accelerator on weak because i find the feedback enough to feel when the back wants to go and high feels to much of an influence on smooth operating and brake (L2) on high as it feels quite good.
Maybe i should upload some future online TT video from me for you guys to analyse (my trail braking especially).
Yeah, I think I'll also buy the replacement loom they also make with thicker wires, because I don't want to take it apart again to replace those when something inevitably breaks (or breaks when I'm doing the initial upgrade).What I did on mine was swop the clutch potentiometer with the accelerator one. Worked fine albeit a bit fiddly to swop due to the incredibly thin wires.
I've had 2 sets of Logitech pedals with potentiometer issues now. 1 that registered input without pressing the pedal and another with the same issue as you at full throttle.
Don't worry, I don't expect to go back at this one - you're far enough ahead of me here and I recall having very little left in my lap - maybe there's a little more, but I'm not entirely sure it's worth the frustration when I also have further improvements I can hopefully make at Nurburgring, as well as at Red Bull.Meanwhile at Monza I dropped from 97th to 104th but improved half a 10th to get back to 99th but not sure I have much left in me so if everyone could stop playing now I'd appreciate it.
