Am I safe now? :D

Thanks to Snails for the ghost I chased. It was nice to follow and (mostly) keep up with a ghost that was far from perfect. :cheers:
 
I had trouble getting to sleep, so I decided to go hot lapping a little bit more and I achieved yet another improvement. 1:49:826. 😱

The splits:
The lap had so many little mistakes here and there but I guess the S3 made up my final time, even with an "all in" last turn almost gone wrong.

Even though this new PB is not a very smooth lap, I guess I'll leave this TT alone now unless the next combo is a red flag one for me.

The lap:

Damned, you're an animal :eek: You clearly made the difference on the 3rd sector. Impressive.

And please don't fool us, you totaly deserve this Top 1000.

I did a thing last night 🤭

After having the chat with @Pesselles about the long standing mantra used in most posts, I adopted the spirit and took it to the extreme...

The lovely green reserved M3 got a make over and went back to DTG...

Highest I've ever been, just short of making the top 100 by 0.2xx but I couldn't do anymore, plus I had a pleasant surprise when I looked at my friend leader board... I can see myself again 😂 but even better (although probably will be short lived), I seem to be living among some resident extraterrestrials that we have 😁

@P-Courty I love your new livery. I'm fixing to attack the Gardens with my stylish BMW. I don't like the U-turn when I pass the finish because I'll take too long to brake and press the throttle. Then T2 to 4 gets me too because I lose my rhythm and also lose valuable time which is crucial for a silver time. Durn sausages!

Ooooohhhh! And I was just looking at getting a new Vulcan last night as I have an Aston Martin invitation currently wanting some attention! Nicely timed. Purple Vulcan incoming...

Meanwhile, last night I finally got round to having a crack at the Dragon Trail TT in the old M3. Despite some of the negative feedback I'd read in the forum, I really enjoyed it! It's slidy, it's a tricky circuit at an odd time of day, and it's just my kinda combo! I settled into an initial stint of 10 laps, 3 of which were invalidated. I say 10 laps, but I actually abandoned my effort on Lap 9 after a red Lap 8 and then going off midway through the Four Brothers on Lap 9... Middle silver wasn't awful for a first attempt.

Then I spotted a friend of mine was the next person up my list, so I took my M3 off to GT Auto for some visual TLC to see if the paintwork could pull a bit of time out of the bag for me.

Had another attempt and first lap (although in the red) was almost exactly identical to my PB!.

Then came back for more and kept it clean and knocked a good half a second off my time.

Now sitting low silver, I'm sure I can extract more out of this one. It's all about the pink visor strip - makes all the difference...

That should be absolute fire mate,

# headphone users - rest in peace :lol: :lol:
To me, the Vulcan is one of the best sounding cars in GT7! Looking forward to this one... when I do finally get the time. Still have yet to jump into the beloved ///M3 and give it a go.
I’ve yet to try this car. Looking forward to it.
Its a great drive.. has the tendency to step out out and attempt to kill you, but on the Racing Soft compound all should be fine. Enjoy
 
ST. CROIX was my first TT that I'm not having at least bronze.
Tried it first time 15min before TT and didn't make it.
Small effort, small gain.
I don't like/know St. Croix and there is no cure...

I think I will like new TT and Interlagos, just hope so that Vulcan is drivable.
 
The results for TT110 at Circuit de Sainte-Croix - A in the Genesis X Gran Racer Vision Gran Turismo Concept are over here.

Interim results for the TT that shall not be named on this thread are over here.

Here are interim Results for TT111 at Dragon Trail - Gardens Reverse in the BMW M3 '97. At this interim stage it is slightly into the most difficult half of TTs to date on my difficulty-o-meter.
