GT7 Online Time Trial/Lap Time Challenge Discussion

[MP81]

Can confirm that as well as being 3+ tenths faster, the L750 is much easier than the Genesis to get round Daytona.

Not as fun, its a bit flat to drive, but quicker.

I've noticed it now seems to be most of the top times, though some Genesises (Geninses?) are still up there...and that one 787B.

I may give that one a shot and see which one I like better. The seemingly-inconsistent redline in the Genesis as well as the obtrusive downshift blocking behavior into 2nd do cause some noticeable issues on some laps.

I picked up McLaren VGT and took first stint on Daytona - and I managed to get into silver zone:



Since I'm driving without HUD, one that has McLaren is great, better then game's default one.

I think there is a second more to find, if I drive well, and took the chicane fast...

I found some speed. Don't think i've been this high up the leaderboard before. It probably won't hold for a new PB placement tho.

The bus stop is killing me, I just cannot get the car to swing right no matter how much I slow down

Gave the new TT a shot with eh Mazda LM55 and it wasn't so bad was it lol???

Too much speed going INTO the busstop is the problem...

On my personal mission to get a 2:01.xxx at Watkins I found two 10ths by switching ABS to weak from default. Hit 2:02.3xx but unfortunately it was an invalidated lap.

Nonetheless it's given me encouragement I can hit my goal!

Hello everyone! I don't have much time in GT7 right now, so every session counts 😁 I tried the Genesis at first, but I just can't figure it out, neither the gearshifts nor the throttle control. So I switched to the 787B and R18 for experimentation and was able to set consistent 1:33:8~, until I eventually settled on the Peugeot. And it's good! This car has so much downforce! A couple of times I could have set a low 1:32:XX, but either I made a mistake in turns 3 and 9, or those were invalid laps. Next time I'll pick my dualshock closer to Daytona, so now I'm wondering, friends - is this time enough for gold by the end of the time trial?

 

[Lightsider74]

Cleaned up my 2:02.3 and got an optimal 2:01.9!

Edit. Clean 2:02.1 now.

Did another run on Dayytona but this time had a go in THe PUG Hybrid thingy and managed a better time, nice! Scratch a sec off next time and I can be goldd!

Well fishing was more important this morning so needed to remote when I got back so the wife could stream on the TV.
So without any expectations I did some Daytona laps, and thought I would try the L750R .... ok, this has got to be one of GT7's most ugly spaceship thing....it's hideous.... best view is from above.... 😂

Only solution to hammer the busstop is cutting half of the track on the entry and pray it doesn't understeer.

I did had a lot of trouble changing my breakingpoints compared to the Genesis, you can brake a lot later with the 750R, it feels slower but is more managable on throttle and that results in a faster infield, the Genesis is unbeatable on the straights.
So needed to realy run a few laps to get use to even rotate on first gear.

Scraping the tirewall T2 rotating in first gear but wings and mirrors don't invalidate right 😁😂

Crazy cutting shenanigans and a ugly butt

But.... it's definitely faster, I think a sub 31 is possible cause I had a terrible second sector but I absolutely yeeeted the busstop 😂😂

@Gomario JSP Very nice lap, and looking at it, I must say that you would benefit greatly from a proper steering wheel

I also did my first session last night:

And just like the Viper Gr3 we had here some time ago, again I'm struggling with the second turn (the first right hander), I can do a proper S2, S3, no issues, but that damn right hander is a pain. I did manage to do two or three good first sectors (.630-650), but then I screw up S2, same old story. So it will take some mileage and number of attempts to break the 31 barrier, but it must be done, and that will be enough

I really wouldn’t have thought getting even close to a gold time would have been possible via remote play. I get huge amounts of lag anytime I use it. The best I can manage is driving a lap in an EV at the Special Stage Route X oval to do the daily marathon when I’m away from home.

I’d say you’re probably safe at a 1:32.7; I think the WR time may fall by another tenth or so since the TT is still new, but I can’t see it dropping more than that 🙂 and good time there, congrats!!

Can confirm that as well as being 3+ tenths faster, the L750 is much easier than the Genesis to get round Daytona.

Yeah, I can attest to that. In fact I feel a bit stupid for having spent more than an hour yesterday trying to get below 1:31.5. With the Peugeot I had this after 15 minutes:

This thing is so much easier to control especially on corner exits. And I like the sun roof in VR ... if only the sound wasn't so dull ...

I think a sub 31 is possible cause I had a terrible second sector but I absolutely yeeeted the busstop 😂😂

Whoa, go easy there, mate! Don't say stuff like this just when I had some hope I might be able to catch you. 🤣 Two more tenths should absolutely be possible for me, but sub 31 is a tall order.

 

[RTB]

Could some please advise on the optimum shift point in the Genesis please? I keep trying different shifts and I simply cannot work out the ideal point. Thank you! 😁

Trying to shift when the bar blinks is an exercise in frustration, PD entered the wrong number for the revbar. At high speed there are often two gears that are almost identical in power output, so don't take the revbar graphs as absolute. Compare it with the overlayed power curves to see when it does and doesn't matter to shift 'optimally'.

I know, it has to come one day 🤣, but I keep getting other things that have priorety 🤣🙈🙈

Nice time already buddy!
S2 is a nightmare 🤣🤣, but we will see if the motivation is there try to sub 31 ....

@crome I am positive that you'll pass me, GR1 has never been a strong point for me and I can remember you were fast a* with the previous Genesis at st Croix? Matter of time!
🙏

Crazy bunch of fast people here these days 🤣

Hi guys,
Finally some time to get back to WG.
Very pleasant session, and for my part a better feeling than with the Aston.
A pleasure to try to follow you @Ed_Night !
What a lap !
