Well... it might be hard, but judging by your time and rank you don't seem to be struggling that much
what ever it is that you're doing, just keep doing it because it's really working!

Three hours might seem like a lot for two tenths, but the skills learnt in that time and the self belief going forward that you can be priceless 😎

Hello there (part 2)
I had another session at the Dragon Trail and got an improvement:
In this PB I drove an awful S2 which makes me think I still have more time to find. ABS weak, everything else off.
The (terrible) lap:

I'm happy with another challenging road car, but why does it have to be Gardens reverse again already? 
I'm not overly fond of the course. At least the curbs don't seem to launch this sucker as much as the 190E last time here.

The first 10 laps with the bimmer felt quite good and were enough to fulfill the daily marathon - if you go reeeaally deep in the hairpin several times and spin a few times... How do I know?!? 🙄
I did some rallying in the last weeks and that improved my use of weight transfer. But as in rallying I am not aggressive enough with this M3 and still slow. What felt like a promising start is hardly in silver territory (1:52:6xx)!
I will return for more... Have fun everyone! (or in french "Attack!")

I really can't say, I might know when it stops hurting.Awesome, congrats! That cathartic feeling when you finally make it to the other side is well worth the pain though, isn't it?
I appreciate it. Not an alien, though. Never been in the top 350, much less that top 100. Never been in the top 10 on the board here. Just an obsessive, compulsive old man.

If the Michelin Alpin event isn't visible outside of Europe, and therefore not a regular time trial that all players can do (which would be disappointing), can we keep the discussion into the event's own thread:

Honestly I do undestand organizer side too, I mean I know you would like to test it but... it is for selected countries for reason, not even all European countries are allowed to take part.
We had "Sweden only" last summer, Sony, Logitec + 2 other sponsors organized it and I liked it that it really was that way. Think we do have already enough global TTs, sometimes even too many, at least feels like that for a busy person. (as far as I know there are others that are exclusive for America or Japan)
However I could agree with you that there should be snow one from PD as just regular Thursday TT. Just my opinion.

Finally a much welcomed low grip Time Trial . As bad as I am in any variation of Dragon Trial, I like how the M3 feels (and slides) around this track and had a blast doing it. I was going to settle with 1:49.6 but I just couldn't stop as it was so much fun, and accidentially ended up with a 1:49.4, which I think is pretty close to what I can ever manage.
I was probably doing my laps the same time @Gomario JSP did as I was swaping positions on my friend list with you all evening

@Evilmuffin Love your Top Gear livery!

It's so frustrating I do exactly the same as you.....but you just do it better 🤣
These restricted competitions are the main reason why I have a second account that makes me all-american. I will never win a prize but theoretically I could and nothing would hinder me. I would prefer to let everyone participate and give the prices to those who meet the preferences. At least all european countries should have access to this one.

You're right on that analogy, well gold does not exist to me anymore. I wasted so much time fighting for it back then and it got me nowhere in life. Did not give me any kind of benefit. Time for this groundhog to retire soon. I'm being serious too.It's like groundhog day with him. I think you all have told him this so MANY times and it just comes back over and over and over.......
@AdxRE nice to see you back hot-lapping with us!!

All I am saying I was on the other side, organizer, not for GT7 Time Trials but anyway... And when you put an age group or gender, and then 14 years old running in 14 years old group but then 16 years join and outrun everyone... anyhow.. I just didn't liked not respecting the regulations, maybe it is just me.. back to topic

It still doesn't work right. The Honda TT has 2 events for everyone and U18 and you could still take part in both TTs despite being over 18. The PSN SDK definitely allows looking up DOB and obviously location, so it wouldn't be impossible to just let everyone take part but only keep eligible people on the leaderboards. Idk, maybe it's an edge case, but it kinda sucks how some of these TTs are gatekept.All I am saying I was on the other side, organizer, not for GT7 Time Trials but anyway...

Tume talked some sense into me yesterday. I am officially giving up on gold. I will just have to do with the 7 I earned, silver is a better aim for me. It's actually for amateur drivers looking for a challenge on the road. I'll just get my popcorn/snacks and keep watching you guys compete and fight for the top!!!I noticed that indeed, saw you were on .6 and i was happy to hit the same, only to return to the board to see your .4xx

I'd imagine the process is basically exactly the same whether they have restrictions or not right? I mean if they run a TT event that is restricted to people under 17 or something it doesn't really matter if they leave it open to everybody or they hard-lock it to people who have a legit birthdate stored in the PSN - either way they are still going to have to vette the winning participants to confirm the info is correct. Same goes for location...what does it matter if it's left open to everyone or locked by region. There's ways to get around that so they are still going to have to go through the same process of eliminating ineligible participants. In the end, it's an online game the entire globe is playing...there's no real need for borders at all.All I am saying I was on the other side, organizer, not for GT7 Time Trials but anyway...

Yeah, it's no point in PD making restrictions like that, because anyone can sneak in and enter, just like an 18 year old would pretend like they're 16 or 17. Some areas may have stricter rules on it but it shouldn't be a big deal, it's for a gt7 racing game, it's not like it's real-life NASCAR.
