Time Trial Discussion

[Chris30]

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, with eye dryness*, 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!!)

*this just means a lot of blinking, but this TT is actually the kindest of them all on this problem, with a long straight for me to restore the wetness and a super-short lap so things won’t turn too bad before lap ends

Well this is never happening to me again.

I don't see under your profile picture the 2 gold tabs with TT stats, while I see them for others, don't know why, any idea @crome ?

Check again

Making people available to the plug-in is a manual process: I have to map their GTP names to their PSN IDs because many do not display their PSN IDs in the profile (side note: the plug-in could in theory do this automatically for those users that do, as is the case here, but so far it is a rare enough occasion that I didn't bother to implement it).

I thought that if I use the plugin, I'll see the stats of everyone. I get it now.

Too late to witness the miracle here :

Fired up the cruisship this morning to wrestel the piggy around the GP Sprint layout...
I hate the fact that it is so nose heavy and i still haven't figured out when oversteer or understeer occures,
For a fact i know it oversteers when slightly hitting the gras, all gazillion kilograms pushed forward on tires that can't deal with the weight, squeeking and yelling TURN...TURN as a result...

Wasnt happy about the lap at all, and i missed quite a few apexes not even beeing on the curb, but in the end it was descent with a .255, but the car just isn't "lively" as far as a AWD can be...
Most of the time i can rotate them by letting off throttle, but this brick isn't reall sensistive for that

@Dan_Tes come on mate, pour some Faustino Grand Reserva and hit that 32!
don't give us false hope

 

[Chris30]

Oh my god, it's a miracle, I bashed into gold territory with a 1'16.134! I used MT over and over and I kept failing, but then I switched to AT and got this miracle lap, take a look and see. Watch out guys, even you @Pesselles

The question is will it hold? Probably not which means I need to push harder and get a 1'15.9xx time if I can. See I knew and sensed that I would pull this off and I did,

I'm proud of myself for being brave and taking a leap of faith and shooting for my gold.

The GTR gold will be hard, currently I'm in silver with 1:34.8, my optimal is 1:34.4, but is so hard to do a perfect lap in this circuit for me. Even 34.4 maybe will not enough for gold.

I had gold on the redbull and miata last week! And in the alfa I'm on the edge but I think the gold is safe too.

 

[Jeje6410]

Second day in Nurburgring Sprint, and I improve my time at 1'34'694 with optimal time at 1'34'353

I have to do better if I want to keep the gold. It's a very interesting TT with a Japanese car who is not stable when braking and who is difficult to understand her reactions. But really very interesting !!!!
