Time Trial Discussion

[TumeK5]

I saw something weird last night...that the next TT would be like a Gr.3 McLaren at Tsukuba. I hope it wasn't a premonition dream...

 

[bliprunner]

Happy with this time although it won’t stay in the top 100. Don’t think I’ll go back… too hot and sweaty here 🥵

Still enjoying the new physics, power sliding this car is magic ✨

Go Kart....Special Route X

Go Kart....Special Route X

Why stop at Go Kart? Could be a Fiat 500...

Won't make it up the hill. Everyone gets gold. Winning!

Or...the TT tests your knowledge of gravity and you have to scale the hill...

Hey guys im a new gt player and would like to play some time trials now that i finished the menus. There are some thing i have trouble understanding.
Whst exactly is bop? It changes the pp of my car to the specified value right? So i cant take my own setup into the races? Does it Matter if i take my own car or if i lend a car? Are they different after the bop application?
And is this the same for daily races? Thank you in advance.

 

[TumeK5]

Whst exactly is bop?

Balance of Performance. It changes the car's power and weight.

So i cant take my own setup into the races?

Yep, setups are locked when the car is in BoP, so you can't do anything to them.

Does it Matter if i take my own car or if i lend a car? Are they different after the bop application?
And is this the same for daily races?

Renting or using your own car makes no difference for BoP. And yes, same for Daily.

Whst exactly is bop?

"Balance of Performance".

It changes the pp of my car to the specified value right?

Not exactly; it changes the power and weight of your car to specific values.

So i cant take my own setup into the races?

Correct.

Does it Matter if i take my own car or if i lend a car? Are they different after the bop application?

No.

And is this the same for daily races?

Yes.

 

[TumeK5]

Beat you to it!

 

[crome]

Renting or using your own car makes no difference for BoP. And yes, same for Daily.

Except of course: using your own car allows you to apply a custom livery, and it has been scientifically proven that orange liveries are the fastest

Thank you very much! Its all clear now.

(side note: 2:05.5xx and 5.000th is also my objective for this TT).

Job is done

After tons of optimals around 2:05.5xx, I finally unlocked the entrance to the gold zone. I'm very happy for this result.
As said, with patience, dedication, and hard work, you always acheive results.

Yesterday I had tried A/T & today I tried M/t. Was able to better my time by a tenth. I feel confident now I'll finish this TT in Gold category which I wasn't expecting. But sheesh as my optimum is about 7 tenths faster which I couldn't achieve despite the long number of laps I drove today.

 

[Talon16]

Two new TTs coming tomorrow?!!?

 

[TumeK5]

They brought Trial Mountain back for a TT, finally 😭

 

[Famine]

Two new TTs coming tomorrow?!!?

GTWS R2 tie-in as an additional one, same as we had for R1.

Really? GT3 at Red Bull Ring?!? Finally even I am fed up with this combo.

 

[Talon16]

RB in Gr3 will be pretty straight forward. But I think that Rampage will be tough!

 

[Vule]

Yay, Red Bull Ring again!

And it couldn't be Trial Mountain in normal layout with a nice road car, they just had to think of something stupid.

I imagine those lunch meetings at the PD HQ, where employees compete who will think of the more ridiculous combo, and the winner doesn't have to pay.

 

[330_D]

I might be the only one but I absolutely hate GR3 in this game and always have. Stupid. 😬

They brought Trial Mountain backwards - fixed it for you

Nothing will top the Chaparral 2X at Daytona Oval in a long time...

 

[Uday9479]

Me too. I'll prefer a typical road car to race around a lap.

Wait... I didn't realize this... apoligize if it's redundant, but I'd like to understand

Let's take RaceA this week. I get my own Alfa Romeo 8C, buy all perks, adjust all the configuration to suite my driving style (meaning copy someone's setup ), jump in the race and what happens is that power restrictor is nerfed and ballast is added to reach the PP, while all the other stuff (suspension, gear ratio, wings , ...) is kept unchanged?

Does it apply to TT too?

 

[Famine]

while all the other stuff (suspension, gear ratio, wings , ...) is kept unchanged?

Umm... no? The guy said "so I can't take my own setup into the races?" and I said "Correct". Because you can't.

To reiterate, you can't take your own setup into an event under BOP (although those Daily Races for Gr.3/Gr.4 cars where some car settings are made available allow you to adjust the cars to some degree, under BOP).

BOP can also increase power, so no it's not as simple as nerfing it through the power restrictor.

 

[Ed_Night]

Just hope that Rampage thing is on sports tires. 🤔

No, everything is set to a predetermined standard, unless tuning is allowed. The physical appearance will remain, wings and splitters, but will not have any effect on the behavior of the car in the race

 

[TumeK5]

Edit: Oh yeah, the website coincidentally shows the tires to be used. How about that.

New test today at morning at Tokyo and improve my time a little at 2'05'266 with optimal time at 2'04'992
