Time Trial Discussion

[AdxRE]

Anyone hates how the 2024 GTR looks especially the front end? Almost as if they tried too hard to adopt the R34 front end to the R35 and failed spectecularly.

The TT itself is a test of patient as the GTR really does take its time to settle into the corners, then it is just all about nailing the timing of flooring it for the corner exits. Not the most fun TT for me but a good chance to practice some other style of driving. 1:33.430 was all I could manage - I actually think all 3 sectors are pretty close to my optimal...

@Gomario JSP apologies for not replying sooner after you tagged me last time - I really wanted to match your new MX-5 time but real life got in the way. Now you are a few tenth faster than I am in both the Alfa 155 and GTR! Time for me to catch back up...

Hi guys (and Greek)

Complicated morning session this morning on the short Nurb' with the lovely GT-R. Because Jeddah seems to be in a playful mood, I wanted to secure my gold score here.

Complicated because I had several 2 firsts very promising sectors but ruined everything in the last one (either at the chicane or in the last turn).

Example:

With a decent S3, this should have been a 1:34.2xx but I finished that lap at 1:34.993....

After few similar unpleasant laps, I've decided to take the first significant improvement and to park the car.

Job done with no excitment:

S1: 39.305 - close to my best (39.2xx), not excellent but I'm ok with it
S2: 22.573 - I left almost 0.3 here, what a pity
S3: 32.599 - same as S1 not my best (32.3xx) but doesn't matter

I clearly have a flat 1:34 in me but no more motivation to come back.

Have fun guys, the track is yours!

Very happy, tried a few more laps at WG today after doing some of the weekly races and knocked nearly 7 tenths off which has just snuck me into Gold! Posting a screenshot for posterity because it doesn't happen very much!

I knew it!!! (1) You were gonna improve your time!
Great job!

I knew it (2) Jeddah would try (and succeed) to get under 32's 😅

Even with the new top #1 time, I just don't want to come back and try to improve my time there. This combo is not fun for me and it highlights my driving weaknesses. 😐

Obrigato Mister @skydragon49 and congrats for your score too

I knew it too about Jeddah and about the reasons why you don't want to come back here too

Why not joing us in our next Titan race? See you in 4 hours on Daytona ?

@Pesselles I have no PS Plus. I refuse to pay to play online. 😁

I had it for a while so I could complete the online trophies requirements, and that was it.

There's free weekends a couple of times a year. You just missed the last one, but there's usually another one sometime from December to February. With the 30th anniversary stuff going on around December, maybe then.

ah, I see Jeddah has already begun his assualt on my gold medal since I set the time yesterday! lol...
