Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial: Pick One​

The latest Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial challenge is now available, bringing an interesting dilemma of sorts as Polyphony Digital opens an entire category for selection in the new event...

Not a fan of this track, I find the right hander before the banking one of the toughest in the game, I just always seem to be on ice and my fellow high B/low A drivers just walk away from me. It does seem like this is a free 2M credits though so will take that.

Same here, the fact that they start you off in Key Largo is not amusing, and with so much flat-out, it is not the most interesting track. I thought I'd give it 100 miles to judge if I'd spend more time on it. I made my decision after 48 miles.

haha its not naughty, kerbs are always track limits, you can definitely get gold in quite a few cars though!

Well, you know, until they're inexplicably not.

Or someone puts bollards on them.

I'm thinking this should be an easier, fun one compared to the one that just ended. If that track were real, PD would have an awful lot of lawsuits regarding people running into a wall headfirst at 150 mph...and curb that put you into low Earth orbit.

Yes exactly, thanks a lot! The trend line is great. I think it's remarkable that the game continues to gain players this long after release.

What’s even more mental is not just gaining players but the retention and engagement levels are crazy good as well.

1:30.910 on pad

I should've dedicated more time to the Zonda TT.. On my second and last session, last night, I had an improvement from 30.9 to 30.4 with some invalidated laps in the 30.0-30.2 range

I wasn't going to do the GR1 but I visited Arkeys's stream and he mentioned it wasn't as bad as expected on the controller, so i did gave it a try remotely, placing the car on the last curb of the busstop is a gamble remotely but did manage to have a few descent laps in, but not realy my kind of TT tbh.
Plenty of time out there

He’s sitting at the top of my leaderboard but like Sourly I did maybe 50 miles got a second clear for gold and just moved on from it.

Not something I enjoy when I’m 63rd in daily A smashing MX5s around the same track. They don’t compare to be honest for me.

Hi,

I sit here - Somewhat stunned to be honest! I have never had this good a start to a TT before. Ever!

I seem to recall that one of my earliest really good results came at Daytona. My first top 500 came at Daytona and now this...

I have 2 weeks to get that infernal 'bus stop' perfected, as that is where I am failing right now. The rest of the lap is pretty much bang on. I can hardly wait! 😳

Very best regards to all here.

Ian.

1:31.058 on controller. Not bad for my first session, unfortunately didn't quite get the sub 31 but it's 100% possible! I wasn't sure which car to go for in this one between the Peugeot and the Genesis because they both seem to be dominating the leaderboard, however since the Peugeot has the WR I assumed it must be the more optimal car but then again the Genesis also proves to be really good here.

 

[2cam16]

Decent TT, even if I thought it was going to be ugly in the Genesis. I was thinking the roadcar. lol

 

[MP81]

Gave Daytona a shot tonight - 1:32.141 in the Genesis X (which does not like to downshift one bit, and loves to hit the rev limiter before you think it's there), with plenty of time to drop down into the 1:31s.
