Hmm, much more forward progress on the Miata seems to be eluding me - or moreso, all on one lap.

Was only able to better my time by 0.035 seconds, down to a 1:28.699.

But my optimum is only in the .4s, so I'm really not sure what else I'm missing here.

After studying WR lap the only difference I could see between them and my PB is that I change down gears slightly earlier, particularly 4 to 3rd.

Trouble with trying to replicate it is muscle memory. My fingers switch gears automatically before my brain gets chance to tell them to hold off a split second 😆!

I lose all my time in the first sector. Very rarely do I hit below 33 seconds. Anything above 33.2 is "retry"

(I've changed my wheel btw. Got a GT DD Pro now solely because I wanted the ability to increase steering sensitivity.)

That’s all I’ve got and let’s never speak of this trial again
 
I know I'm not that good a driver relative to the folks who post here, but after having my borderline gold bumped down into silver, I had to give it another go.

Proud to have managed to get gold in pink (yes, I know the Safety Car is faster).

Here's hoping I stay in Gold for good this time!

I have to say though, this is a really fun combo, and props to PD for coming up with it. Fictional tracks introduced in GT7 tend to be extraordinarily cursed in reverse, but Trial Mountain flows really well somehow. The Crown takes its upgraded Sports Hard tyres really well, and it's refreshing to have two similar but distinct car choices in an Online Time Trial. The open differential in the base car versus the Limited Slip Diff in the Safety Car felt like the game teaching me about cars and how each of them demand to be driven, almost like the Licence Tests of older games. I might find myself falling in love with the Crown at this rate :lol:
