Time Trial Discussion

For those of you taking turn1 at deep forest in U shape: what is your brake profile?
You go 100% on the straight and then trail brake to 0
Or go 100%, then move to 50 (or else) and then stay there, then trail brake to 0

I'm not familiar with trail brake into long turns

Thanks

@brockie There is always BoP involved in each time trial event and the car settings are normally specified. if you try to give your car a boost or nitrous, it will not work because the BoP will restrict it.

Hello there!

I decided to dig deep in the forest.... And I got sub 34. Lovely time trial session.

The splits:

PS: I had a 15 laps stint where I got a 34.1 and I was following this delta today but I started to overdrive the car and decided to start a new stint and the sub 34 happened.

 

[Gogga]

A reasonable improvement for me from this evenings run. I'm really enjoying this combo. I have some time in S1. Finding it tough to drive that sector consistently. Happy with my time thus far.

 

[KAlex122]

Ok. You guys are all killing it! I'm really jealous! I'm completely happy with kid and wife up in our holiday hills but a little voice in the back of my head tells me a little more time to really challenge those challenges and all you challengers wouldn't hurt.

This car actually doesn't like trail braking much. Anything trail braking approaching 50% braking pressure will just make the car understeer badly. If you are doing a more U shape approach for turn one....brake more on the straight and trail brake lightly to get the car to rotate. A bit of coasting on 2nd helps too.

That was intense! Got from .263 to .210, really pushing my limits on the DualSense here.

Decided to wash my Lancer, change the oil and even the wheels!

Gotta say it's quite the contrast seeing yellow in the middle of so much green. 12 laps in and the car is fine, but unfortunately I couldn't get below 1:37.

Then the team said in the radio:
"Today is a bright day. It's like, very bright! Just a few clouds here and there. It's all dry and shiny, perfect opportunity to drive around with racing hard tires without worrying about a thing! It's not like it's going to rain or something to use WET tires."

In my defense, the car was with GT Auto until I finally arrived at the track!

1:34.995 is my best time so far and to compensate my infinite wisdom the game gave a 6* ticket worth of 500k credits.

Evening everyone - really wanted to get a lap nailed at Monza before starting the new event. A session last night got me within half a tenth of my best but nothing more. Managed a short session this afternoon though and finally nailed something close to my optimals. I’ve run more miles here than I normally would, but it’s been worth it. On to Deep Forest!

Impressive, you're in the top 100! I'm getting prepared and ready to blow out the laps at Monza, wish me luck. I'm getting back to work tonight and tomorrow! I'm sure the aliens will be hard for you guys to beat; even me!

 

[seadog777]

I couldn't get around Deep Forest to make a bronze yesterday and was baffled. Loaded an Alien ghost (thanks @Tidgney ) and he was pulling away at quite a pace on the straights. Checked the on-screen bar for accelerator and noticed it was only about 80% or so. This did happen before with my previous pedal set.

Used air-in-a-can on the pedal and contact cleaner, from the top, and went to the recalibration page. No matter how hard I pressed the pedal I could only get 96% and back in the trial the accelerator bar still wasn't anywhere near maximum.
I guess I'm going to have to get to the pedal from the bottom today as I think there's some gunk in there......

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it 🤣

 

[ScottPuss20]

I don't know how I keep pulling these times out. I only needed a 33.9 to beat my brother and I absolutely destroyed him. Better still I beat @Jeje6410 yet again!

I intent to brake 100% between the curb and the 100 and trailbrake to the apex and when you hit the inner curb or almost ..release fully and try to keep a real close line and coast for a short moment than you can get on the power very early in 2nd, but like @Evilmuffin mentioned it doesnt realy like it but it's doable 😁🤣 I'm not super consistent yet on S1 but did had al new fastest S1 this morning in my mega short session at 26.090 😳
But ofcourse I stuffed it up later in the lap 🤣🤣

Adjust the deadzone in the calibration menu then 😉 now go get that gold 😁

 

[D-Mind]

Oh hey guys, i'm back still gotta get on my old level again but this track proved to be quite hard. Still satisfied with this time though. Also golded the EVO tt but theres a lot of time to gain there before i post it haha. 😁

Happy lapping as always!

If that fails and you determine that the pedals are definitely the problem the short term solution can be to go into the GT controller setup page and adjust the pedals so that an amount that you determine is interpreted by the game as 100%.. I had to do this while waiting on a solution for my G29 pedal set.

@seadog777 👍🏻💪🏼

 

[seadog777]

Thanks very much for the tips, peeps. I will give that a go when I can. 🙏

 

[Ed_Night]

Grrr... Monza is driving me crazy. 🥲

The first lap should have already been a .4, but i released the brakes a bit early for the final turn and ran wide. 🤪

Right on next lap i nailed the chicane at the beginning of S2 like never before, suddenly beeing 0.2s ahead of my ghost. 😳
But no problem at all, just screw Lesmo 1 and a normal run through Lesmo 2 and Tadaaa... the ghost is right in front of me. 🙈😂

Ascari was great again so i'm side by side with my ghost going into the final corner with the knowledge that he is going to screw it. 😏
Braking was on spot, but as soon as i got back on throttle i knew it was to early, so short shift into 3rd to hold the line.
Didn't lost to much because of this, but enough to not make it into the top10. 🥲

I also have these things too .....occassionally...... trying to get into the top 100 🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈

But come on Ed, you got this! Almost there!

Epic as always! 😁

 

[Jeje6410]

It's true that I wasn't supposed to return to Deep Forest before Monday... but this combo is so good that I decided to come back for a bit.
And frankly I did well and then it must be said that @ScottPuss20 's post also motivated me. I improved my time to 1'33'687. My friend @ScottPuss20 look carefully in your mirrors because I'm coming 🤣🤣🤣

 

[D-Mind]

Gold secured on Deep Forest. ✅

 

[brockie]

Well....a little more efford and it will be 2 mil. 🤪

And now you said that I’m stuck a tenth/sec away from the gold time 🧐

😜

 

[TurboBoy64]

I really wish there were semi permanent public hot lap leaderboards for each track in the game that could be filtered by PP, car, region, tires, tuning on or off etc. I say “semi” permanent because I know they would have to be reset when there is a major update to the physics.

But when you manage....it's satisfying 😁😁
Keep going and you'll gold it 💪💪

Sunday night, one more session with the Lancer Gr4 and one more improvement. 33.880.

The splits:

Spoiler

(Personal) Fun Fact: It is by far my best TT placement ever. Before this one, my best result was with the Lancer IX/Red Bull Ring combo.

This was fun.....

Spent 300km last night to try and improve my time at Monza to reassert myself on the GTPlanet leaderboard.

Found another 1.6 tenths in the lap to get a 1:50.873 which places me 40th currently. Found some general improvements in lines throughout the track to gain my the extra time. There is definitely still some time to be found, particularly half a tenth through T1/2 as I did not equal my optimum run through there on my best lap and also some time improving my entry line to Ascari, hit the brakes a tad bit late which compromised my speed through there.

Maybe there will be an extra tenth to gain in the lap, but finding it will be a challenge. Hopefully I get some time to try and find it later in the week.
