GT7 Online Time Trial/Lap Time Challenge Discussion

what's TT 192 ?

I'm assuming you talk about my plug-in? It's this one: https://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/gt7/sportmode/event/13605/ (btw the TT 192 text is actually a link you can click that takes you to the event).

So this is a UAE-only event that the plug-in nevertheless keeps surfacing because it is technically available via the same API as "normal" events. I'll see if I can fix it (i.e. remove it permanently).

That's insane @ZEE - congrats on gold and 2.87%, but that position goes to show how competitive this event was!! Nearly 224k people have entered this, and it's been a while since the participation was that high I think. I realize the foolishness of such a bold statement though, as this is likely the point where @half_sourly demonstrates that we had the same number of folks in some event three weeks ago

Thank you @Carlos Fandango , means alot and I'm happy as I do love Spa and am generally a good racer on this track in TT's and Races. I wonder what the next Time attack is this week, as I am tuckered trying to get a Gold on this one lol. Thanks everyone for all your support!

 

[Ed_Night]

yeah, i knew from the start that my lap would not hold against the Germans
Great time buddy, and as always a pain on my personal leaderboard 🫶

There is def. some time on the table in my lap so prob. same story for you, but for now..... i am fine with it
IF tomorrow's new trial sucks..... i maby return, but if it's descent...... i only return if it falls out of the top 100 i think.
Instead of all of you guys..... i just don't like it that much

Well done mate!

You don't need enemies, if you have german friends. 🙂😂

 

[Lightsider74]

Have I given up on these TT's?

No. I had the roof leak in my "man cave" and decided to refurb the whole room after fixing the leak.

Of course these things take more time and cost way more than I initially thought.

Was out sick for a few days, but was able to get a 1-hour stint in last night on Spa.

I improved a whopping 0.016

I know exactly where I'm losing time, but I fear I've reached the apex of my skill level and 2:17.xxx is not in the cards. I might give it one last shot this evening

Either way, great combo!!

Fast ninjas 😊 I am a bit late.. Yes I know, time trial from end of December and begging of January, Grand Valley, Igor Fraga won it. I saved the replay on my phone and then needed space and delete it. Now I need that video and can't find it. Any of you have it saved, shared, or anything, I would really appreciate if someone can share it for me in the game somehow, or help me find it.
Thank you!

I think that's my first double !

Spa just before the finish line. With some margin but I doubt there will be big improvements with all the pros on it, including Jose Serrano driving his manufacturer's car ☺️

 

[MP81]

Well, I went back at it before I go get in real traffic, because that is a recipe for success.😂

Was hoping to magically get into the 2:17s, but a 2:18.221 is as close as I'm gonna get without more time before it ends.

The mix of understeer and just sliding due to losing grip makes me wonder if I got a bum rental versus some of you, haha.

And those bollards, as always, are there to ruin your really good laps!

 

[ZEE]

A video replay of my GOLD laptime at SPA, I was keen to share here, useful for anyone wanting to get GOLD and even higher than me on the ldearboards of aliens!!

 

[linksracer]

Welp that's demoralising

Total of 250km for 657th and 1.5 seconds off #1 is not something I've experienced for a while.

Never been that good at trialing Spa, the whole of Sector 2 is a weak point for me. Starting from Maimedy all the way to Stavelot I lose a total of 8 tenths to P1. In my best lap I lost another 4 tenths with a dodgy exit from the bus stop.

I think they need to restructure the Sector splits here, S1 and 3 are effectively made up of single corners while S2 comprises all of the most technical and challenging corners on the track, so by the time you get to the end of S2, the lead ghost is so far ahead its basically pointless having it on.

M3 around Autopolis seems fun, unfortunately won't be able to dedicate much time to this as I'm going away next week, and will probably miss next week's trial entirely.

 

[RACECAR]

This one had me annoyed, could only get 2:20.8s for abit and then came along a realization: Was in a league endurance race at Spa this past Sunday (Finished 7th overall, 2nd in class) using the Mercedes AMG GT3 and one thing I found on accident that kinda helped was using the curbing on the right side in the chicane to kinda flick the car into the turn and then carefully power out of the other. So I started experimenting doing that with this car. As its already looser then the 911 RSR over the limit, it was VERY easy to rotate it that quick (Wouldn't take much to spin it with how quick it happens). Doing that ended up giving me the time you see.

 

[NAXEHT]

My attempt from the other day... Meh.

That's pretty close to a max lap for me personally, just botched bus stop and hit the brakes slightly too late which cost somewhere around a tenth or two, the rest felt pretty good but madness to be 1,1 sec off still. Not really my strong suit, the big ol' simdad fav daily B type combo, Spa Gr.3...

Looking forward to the M3 at least! Good night.

My 50th gold!

Don't like new TT at first.

 

[Gomario JSP]

mmmmm.... Tokyo.... walls.... red laps....
I am not that hyped
Plus.... somehow my brain has a lot of trouble with different layouts at Tokyo..., maby because i grinded the 600pp race a million times back in the early days...., this layout has "some" parts of that what def. is going to frie my brain
Sound should be on point thru the headphone though with that S2000

Goodluck fellas

Wow this has got to be the most infuriating TT ever.
Long lap + by night + unkown track + huge turbo lag = 99% of laps invalidated.

Took me 120km to get gold. Never again.

 

[crome]

• Since I will be away from yesterday (Tuesday) and only back on 11 Mar, I will have one jetlagged evening to do the TT that starts this Thursday. Hopefully it will be an easy one, else my gold streak might end...

😬 Best of luck mate! 🤞

Plus.... somehow my brain has a lot of trouble with different layouts at Tokyo...

As long as it's not the central layout, that track is a nightmare for me, it's just one endless corner without a single apex or any logic at all... East I can do somehow

, yeah i think a track needs curbs... run-offs.... gravle that flies around from you getting wide on pushing to hard and then gets stuck in the radiator of the one behind you
walls do not belong on track.... me and walls have a hate relationship

 

[nickf1gr]

Walls walls walls
Good luck to everyone who will try this (without many anger problems)

For those who, like me, have no idea which layout this is:

oh I have, just T1 being a right turn is messing with my brain, because in CW layout that turn is also a right.

 

[NAXEHT]

Finally nighttime settings! Bravo, keep up the spice.

By the way, I haven’t given this a run yet but I’m hearing the Amuse benefits from ASM here.
