Time Trial Discussion

[Interemptor]

What's this about?.....I've never seen cars SOLD OUT in the regular dealership, only in the used car dealer.

Me neither 😱 WTF ?

No idea but it was at every brand in the Asia zone.. It was gone after the third restart of the game.

Here's the time trial guide for those interested! Apologeis for the delay it's been one hectic day! Certainly interesting to drive, patience is key!

That's right, 2M in a brand new car baby! WOO-HOO...
I want the fame this time.

I went back 🤐. Braking later with less pressure and tried my darnedest to let the thing roll through the corners without being too aggressive on the throttle.

Fingers crossed for a Gr.3 TT sometime soon.

Happily I netted Golds for both the Mazda and fizzy pop rocketship TT's, so it was on to Watkins to drive a proper racing car.

The Alfa is a wonderful car, full of history, nostalgia and likes been revved to high heaven. I got into Gold quite quickly and have been chopping little bits off the time since, happily now with a 1:15.002. I'm hopeful to get into the 1:14's but am at the point of diminishing returns methinks.

PS- Had a quick few laps in the GTR and I think I need a refund as I appear to have received a rather wayward boat instead of a fine specimen of Japanese engineering, what's with the oversteer?!?

My god......what the heck did they do to the physics??.....the GTR drives like....... it doesn't... I can now understand your previous post @Evilmuffin .... the understeer is so bad it makes me boile up inside 🤣, but then it also feels like 3 tons.... and bounces around the curbs like....yeah I keep that for myself...

first Nokia meters

I've managed a 1:33.9 but it would absolutely be a miracle to hit all those corners consistently like the 1:32 aliens are doing.

Will keep trying but I already feel my skill ceiling has been reached and pushed already!

 

[P-Courty]

See, I was onto something here. Would be a funny challenge to see if the forum aliens could still gold the TTs on IMs or wets...

I remember that I was struggling with the Porsche Living Legend at the HSR TT because I was in IM tyres but I wasn't far off, the bronze drift challenge has died with the recent TTs so maybe this could be the new one 😅

It was just a little test ....

You seem to be doing this a lot recently, pack it in 🤣

I have only one word to descript the GT-R....."Graceless".
It is almost impossible to drive it in a smooth manner. I had to drive it in anger, and wrestle with the car's AWD system to get the best time.

And speaking of the AWD system....it sure has a mind of its own (and not a very bright one).

Want to turn in with a slight drift to rotate the car? AWD will be like...ooh noooozzz....rear is kicking out! Induce understeer! Which resulted in me missing the apex. Ok...fine...maybe I will induce less oversteer this time. Car be like...nah...you aren't turning enough....let me give you some snap oversteer!

Trying to push the car at the exit? Ohhh...understeer! Let's induce some oversteer! Now I'm catching an oversteer for no reason. Oh...oversteer! Induce understeer! Me heading straight off the track from the sudden understeer....urgh.... Next time I tried to anticipate the oversteer.....it does nothing....me also head straight off track because I don't enough steering angle.

Beautifully spoken, can't wait for your book to be published about this TT, from this short extract it sounds like it will be a great read 🤣

yet you are 161th in the world, does not seem so bad after all

There is a fine difference between dancing with a pretty lady and wrestling with a 2 ton pig 🙈🙈 The end result might be the same, but one is more enjoyable than the other 🤣🤣

The results for the two TTs that finished today are done:

106	Suzuka Circuit East Course - Mazda Roadster NR-A (ND) '22
107	Grand Valley - Highway 1 - Gran Turismo Red Bull X2019 Competition

With being away last week and work being mad as hell, I only did my first laps in the Alfa today. Am I missing something? The thing just won't turn. In the 80 or so miles I did, I must have restarted to try turn 1 again 40 times.

It is so so odd the way that 4WD works.

I know 2 people who've had R35s and they both complained they understeer so badly.

Just a weird dynamic when you consider the Veyron seems to mask its bulk better with braking being its weak point.

I'm just struggling with finding the balance between drift like corner entry but clean exit drive 🥲

I don't know about IRL, but all the GT-Rs in the game drive a bit weird. They always do something opposite of what you expect...and sometime, the AWD system can't decide if the car should oversteer or understeer. The 400R seems to mask this behavior the best, but the R35 always feel like the worse offender. They do ok in something like a fast sweeper, but in slow corner, they are clumsy as hell. Dunno...maybe it has to do with the weight distribution? They are kinda front heavy.
