Time Trial Discussion

Well this is never happening to me again.

It may, you never know. You have amazing skills for this game, I'm actually almost at gold myself at W.G.
1'16.287 so far. So, this is definitely worth the time and stress to get it this time. For you to be 27, that's incredible how many golds you've achieved. I don't worry about it much anymore. The object of these time trials is to have fun and compete with friends and other players here. And kudos to the rest of you, without learning from you guys, I wouldn't have gotten to the skill level I'm at now. I'm a semi-amateur with lots more practice and advanced learning to do.

The Alfa TT i did already last weekend, just forgot to post it

Awesome car! Please more like these PD!

As i saw the GT-R TT i thought:
an AWD car: great
on road tires: ---- (imagine a very long beep)
The 1st session i did yesterday very early. I did gold for the 1st time with a 1:35,077, 2 thousands faster then nessesary
But that didn't last long. In the afternoon i went again and had a small improvement.

I don't think this will last. But i haven't watched Tidgneys vid, i'm sure this will, like always, show how i can improve this.

Edit. Forgot to mention one thing: Tracklimits! --- (extrem long beep this time!) Especially in the MAG Arena drove me mad!

Excuse me for being off topic for a sec!

Didn't expect to see a fellow Hong Konger here

Yep! Born ‘n’ raised in this tiny city, and still living here! I thought you’re an American when I lurked around this thread in the past though 😅 Good to see another compatriot here!

After over 2 days of trying, I’m happy to report that I have finally managed to improve my time in the MiatZuka from 1:02.078 to a final time of 1:01.918! Granted, there’s still time for me to practise (which I used but yielded no further improvement) when I ended the session, and my lap was kinda rough with some abrupt steering and some unexploited track space, but after over 1,000 kms of trying and countless retries from trying to nail the 1st right-hander complex (and the final corner too) , I’m more than happy to call it quits. And the matter is, I did it with zero aids (except a weak ABS), manual transmission, in cockpit cam, and most pleasing of all, without taking any advice or recommendations (not even other players’ ghosts), so I am well and truly proud of my ranking of ~8500th.

That is, until I see folks like MidnightRun85 and Famine (seriously, with a D-pad?) taking only around a dozen laps to beat my record… I’ll go back to my DR D dungeon.

(Those 1131 kilometres are all done in this time trial!!)
