If any of fast ninja experts have done some good improvement mod on brake pedal on Thrustmaster pedals T3PA Gran Turismo edition I will gladly hear your experience.

The best mod for T3PA is replacing them with T-LCM :D

Here are some mods for the wheelbase when you get bored of the factory one:

Thread 'My T300RS GT mods'

After owning the T300RS GT for 6 months, I finally decided to solve the overheating / noisy fan issue and also do the ball bearing mod that I've been hearing about for some time.

Looking at the Noctua "solution" I was not impressed by it, firstly because the hot air still stays inside the casing, the fan is quieter than original but the CFM is not dramatically different, and some people report that they still have the FFB loss issue even after replacing the stock fan with the Noctua one.

So I came up with my own solution :D

Thanks, I am good for now with what I got but I think I have read people do some improvements on brake pedal and was curious what 🙂
 
Back to you @330_D 😜 … no hope of catching Jomar though 🤷‍♂️

Well, getting a wheel for present was pretty much unexpected honestly, no questions asked about any details or anything, a big box just arrived at home without me having any clue about it. 🙂

Tested three attempts, say 10-15 laps each with Supra, approximately 50 invalidated laps until I got one lap valid, ouch 😬
Love it and a lot place for improvement 🤣

@half_sourly you can change my icon for steering from Supra TT

Nice. Good luck with the new toy. It would be good to see your setup once you have it sorted out.

This was my first wheel and it's a nice place to start. I spent a lot of time messing about with the brake pedal, using the rubber bungee that comes included for a bit, and also putting a foam tennis ball under the pedal so the final 30% had more resistance. But looking back probably the smart move was to just sell them and upgrade to the T-LCM or another TM option. The sensors are very dust sensitive on the T3PA and needed cleaning out a lot which became a pain.

Or don't worry about mods or load cells, I used to think it was important but I've never had anything on my Fanatecs.
 
Finally got gold at Barcelona, with the Genesis G70 Gr.4, not a very solid gold, but hey... my first on the wheel so I'll take that !

Best is around 1:16.727 IIRC, gold treshold is 1:16.770 so the margin is thin. Optimal is around 1:16.4XX but I am leaving tomorrow for a few days so I think I'll leave it there.

Going to do some laps at GV now. I'd like to reach silver there but I am 3s away at the moment 😅

Hello, I am new to this page.
I am a GT5 player
I did a 1:24.358 on Deep Forest Raceway, with the Lupo GTI Cup Car, no TCS, ABS at 1. Is It a good time? I am a wheel user (Logitech G29)

Welcome,

This thread is for the online timetrials and laptime challenges in sportmode, so no personal timetrials, so nobody can realy say if thats a good time 😉
ABS has off, weak it default btw, maby you mean brakebalance.

If you want to know if you are fast you can take part in one of the two running laptime challenges and compare your times to thr ridiculous fast guys here 😁
 
where is that "two running lap time" challenge? I want someone to tell me if that's fast, and again, im sorry, I didn't see that this was a thread for GT7. And no, I don't mean brake balance, even though I do have a brake balance tune. (6 front 5 back), ABS is still at 1

The online global timetrials are in the "sport" section ingame in GT7.
Brakebalance works different in GT7 and ABS apparently too compared to GT5 then.

Short answer ...nobody in this thread is going to tell you if your lap is fast, we just don't know,
You could make a thread in the GT5 section of the forum and set up a challenge or something hoping other people will try too and compare your times.
 
Hi everyone,

I've been feeling a bit demotivated lately, and the TTs haven't been going my way... I don't really feel like tying knots in my arms at Tsukuba, and I don't have the energy to battle it out with the 919 and the beacons at Spa...

Is it my age catching up with me?.......🤔🤔😂... I settled for silver in both races...

Actually, I must say that I'm really enjoying the Power Pack races...

But I thought it would be nice to end the year with another gold medal...
So last night, I took a little trip to Spain and came back with a 1' 16.480, which I think should hold up...

Then I jumped into the Supra... but that's another story... there's understeer, oversteer, track limits...
In short, I think I'll settle for the silver medal and go back to the Power Pack...😂

So, I'd like to wish a happy New Year's Eve to those who are celebrating, and a very happy New Year to all of you and your families...

May 2026 be a peaceful and happy year in every way...:cheers::cheers::gtpflag:

My first attempt at using Capcut, turned out pretty well!



The main reason why I love this wheel so much (T598) is its so silent!

Yes indeed, nice video, your inputs are so smooth. Also thanks for saving the ghost 🙂
Talking about ghost, in 99.9% of time you are pulling away from me, in pretty much all TTs, but in Grand Valley, sector 2, first two left handers, I catch a tenth on you. You shift to fourth I stay in third and I think I start braking slightly earlier than you and have a bit less brake pressure and by the second left hander I am closest to your ghost, like ever. In case you are curious to try 🙂 image down here

Also, which pedals are you using, the ones that come with T598 or some others?


And for my own laps times, I am learning and slightly improving, this lap should have been 1:53 but third sector is eating up all time I gain in first two sectors 😅

Still, some improvement.
Old habits die hard haha, see I need to let go of my gyro driving style now 😅

My upshift to 4th there certainly isn't required, but I generally like to always downshift into a corner. But downshifting into gear 2 from gear 3 causes rev limiter bouncing issues.

So I momentarily engaged a higher gear just to engine brake into the corner.

Standard pedals bro.

This morning I cut from 58.9 to 58.0 in two separate laps, here is best one:



And I'm in silver, I wasn't hoping I could do that...

I was dreading this TT, hesitated for days to even try it, because I knew I would hate it... And I was right :D

Didn't manage to get into any kind of flow state in this first session, but still the time is OK I guess... Messed up the chicane completely, wrong line, late entry, missed apex, very late throttle, so I think my optimum will be somewhere around .450-500, if I decide to give this a proper chance :D
