Gold for now,not expecting them to hold,...i found the Hyundai a lil loose with the handling,might be able to pick up a couple of seconds with more laps and the electric beast is a handful,hope yer brake pedals are working good,😅

As expected, i got dropped out of gold but fear not,lol....i'm back in....the electric car was alot easier when i used the boost,🤓,picked up an easy half a second,more possible and a paint job on the Hyundai got me 3 seconds faster,😊,hope these hold.

Went back at the SU7 again tonight for longer than I was hoping to (but the amount of time I knew I would), and managed to drop down into the 1:46's with a .865. I've got plenty more time in there, but the car and the track were just...not really cooperating for me tonight...ultimately culminating in...this.

The replay doesn't show it, but I had blown my brake marker and plowed through one of the orange barricades on the previous lap...and since the game just leaves that **** there rather than resetting it during a TT...it was right in my way the next lap. Not only did it invalidate my excellent-up-until-that-point lap, but it flipped me entirely over. After it reset me, I pushed it back behind the wall. :lol:
 
Morning,

Started at the Ring
On one hand I think it's fun, on the other hand ...this layout is just to long, although for me 🤣,

car seems ok-ish.....
I have two problem points, both very annoying.... 1: the chicane at the end of the GP layout.... and two: the last double righthander before the long straight....

I was around a second below my fastest 3 times and all invalidated on that corner.....
I turned the PS5 off 🤣🤣

So for now.... is doesn't click

As you may or may not have noticed, I'm less and less present here. I'm not posting anything anymore. The reason is that I've stopped doing the TTs like I used to. I no longer enjoy chasing a gold medal. I don't see the point anymore, and the latest combos offered by PD are no longer interesting to me. Maybe I'll try the Nürburgring one, but it's not certain. It's also due to the time I have during the week, which has become very limited. I prefer to focus on track experiences, testing cars for the Titans races on Sundays, or driving on ACC.
I get much more enjoyment from riding with friends and improving in the game than from doing time trials. I might come back to time trials someday, but I'm still following this thread. Take care.
Good drive and enjoy :cheers::cheers:
 
I've been wanting to post this for a while: ‘We haven't seen our national hero Jéjé for a while...
He's on my friends list in the bronze rankings, far from his usual standards...🤔🤔

I hope he's not ill...’🤔🤔

time to do what suits you best and gives you the most pleasure...

It's true that the current combos aren't the most attractive, but maybe the next ones will be better....

We'll surely see you again, and hopefully as soon as possible....:cheers::cheers:

That's kind of you, but everything's fine.
It's just that the desire to do TTs isn't there anymore. I've been doing TTs for three years now; maybe it's time to put them aside for a while.
May the force be with you.💪💪 :cheers:

After completing my livery last night I took the Elantra N TC out to the Nurburgring to see what I could do. Turns out I am good enough to meet the gold target. I think the car is excellent and can handle all the bumps without any trouble. Of course, it's even better with the "Puss Treatment". In fact I like it soo much that I bought another one for an alternate colour variation.

Still a bit for me to learn if I want to improve but this isn't a terrible time by any means, is it? Maybe the car will go faster if I paint it red.
Post a pic of the car/livery in this thread. I'd like a better look. I like to dabble in the livery editor myself although I'm no artist and very much an amateur I find it quite therapeutic.

I'm sure the mods won't mind a livery for TTs in here?
 
Not a lot of free time lately to devote to the current events but I managed to get into silver in the Nurburgring TT without too much trouble...although I still think the car is a mess. It feels like it's broken really. I find it obnoxiously unpleasant to drive. Hopefully able to move into gold next week.

Car is fully drive friendly and you can push really hard protected with front wheel drive.
And it's needed to drive like a maniac to get gold...

Times change and so do our preferences buddy,

Personally....im gonna miss you here 😉

Keep in touch mon ami! 🙏

I don't find it very drive friendly. lol. To each his own though...

*actually, I shouldn't say that. It is pretty drive friendly in the sense that you definitely can push it and drive like a maniac. It's almost impossible to get the back end to break loose so you can just floor it coming out of corners. I just find the basic feeling of driving it in terms of the force feedback to be really unpleasant and sometimes even backwards in terms of what it seems like I should be feeling. Like some of the curbs seem to suck you up when it feels like you should be pushed away instead.

My dear Jomar, it's a shame there isn't a heart among the site's emoticons, because I would have given you one. So here it is.🥰🥰❤️
Thank you, my very dear Jomar, for giving such good advice on time trials and for helping me improve. I followed your advice (not all the time, though) and I was able to progress. I'm just taking a break from time trials, but I'll still be here on the forum to follow your progress.
Take care my dear Jomar...
I'll never be far away and I'll be watching you...and every time I play TT I really enjoy watching your replays.💪💪:bowdown:

Thanks a lot @jrbabbitt but It's just a break from the TT series, not GT7. I'm glad I was able to help some people.

That explains why I had the surprise to see you below me on TTs, which was out of the norm.

But I know that you are having fun racing other people so I was not worried ☺️

Nice to hear some news from you.
I understand your investment in other sectors of the game.
It is true that running in a pack is another world.
I imagine that time is limited and that sometimes choices must be made.
I will miss you because with @manou and @cavalino , you are part of the drivers on whom I always keep an eye.
See you soon.

Tried the AMG at CGV, made it to turn 4 and concluded it is not for me 😅

Tried the Elantra @NBG24, entered bronze in my first lap. Could improve but lap is very long and do not know the car so we'll see.

Haven't tried the chinese vacuum cleaner on steroïds, but did the weekly with it, not sure I'll enjoy it in a TT, but I may do some laps to get bronze and some credits.
 
Happy weekend everyone - catching up after another hectic week. Had a few laps at both of the new events this morning. I usually really like Monza, but this game really struggles to create connection with EVs. Having driven the lower powered version of this car in real life, the sim experience is a little hard to correlate. Gold but unlikely to come back.

The Hyundai on the other hand is great fun, and the LSD reactions across the front axle are quite realistic for me. Couple of clean laps and a few restarts and off to a solid start. Will run this one again later… need to go back to CGV as well.
