So... My wheel still shows the little bars for the brake and accelerator even when I adjust the pedal dead zones

But thought lets just go for it seens as @Pesselles told me not to, yes I saw that 😉

Spoiler

So I did a thing

Still wasn’t happy being in 206th place with this... so I carried on....

Didn't improve but became more consistent... Look at that optimal 😱

So went again and well...

Happy now 😁 except for one thing....

@Gomario JSP do not try again 🤣

What can I say, I always do best with slidey cars 😁

I would keep going to try to get an alien time but I really need to get ready for the AMG VC 😅

 

[Gogga]

I found my two tenths 😁
Now to go hunting for two more!

@330_D I do love this E36 ///M Power

Last chance tonight for the BMW and me, I am 0.06s from silver, that should be possible (I've only done 10 laps so far)

That is a real descent time on the board mate!
Congrats! 😁😁
You are save from me 🤣 I am a one week man then I hop on to the next one 😁

Great job! 👽

 

[Gogga]

What kind of voodoo do you do? 😆
Even with something shady going on there with your dead zones, you pull a time like that! Well done mate...

I'm not stopping until I find another 10th. I know I have it in sector one.. but I ALWAYS stuff up sector 3.

 

[Ian JB]

Hi,

Gutted!!!

Only had time for a few laps tonight. I managed a microscopic improvement and this one finishes at a moderately respectable 1:50:147. Just about 1500 in the rankings. Less by the time it finishes.

It is definitely progress from me, so I am happy. No I am! Really happy! Honestly! Happy as a pig in....

I am really gutted, because I honestly feel that I was beginning to understand the last big right hander at Dragon Trail.

Until the next one folks.

Very best regards to all here.

Ian.

 

[feral and bad]

Caught the rabbit. Thanks @ScottPuss20. Used @Metalgear9493 ghost, thanks!
Made sure to get in this month's quota of expletives.
TCS 1 ABS Weak
And I still don't have a clue about Sector 2.

Okay, I think you are the person with dirty potentiometers?

I used to have to tear apart my G29 pedals weekly. Literally open everything up and clean with rubbing alcohol, etc.

An older guy I race with said, he has had that problem also until he sprayed WD-40 all over the potentiometers. And I know that shouldn’t work. But, it totally has and it’s been years of zero maintenance since I did. I can’t explain it, still don’t believe it, made a slippery mess that leaked on the what was a nice wood floor, but I haven’t had to do a thing since.

My very last go on the M3 @ Dragon Storm born this afternoon saw me squeak into the 1:49's with a final posting of 1:49.982 If I had a few days more I think I could get an even better time but for now, that's this one in the books

 

[Lomic]

Mission "accomplished" in silver zone, that'll do for me, not much time and lots of work so.

 

[Gogga]

Pretty happy with this time. My optimals are in .2xx but unfortunately my seat time is up. I really wish I had just one more evening with this German beauty.

 

[P-Courty]

Okay, I think you are the person with dirty potentiometers?

Not me 😅

My wheel and pedals are completely fine, it was my controllers that I thought I had an issue with.

But I am looking to upgrade my wheel to a Thrustmaster T-GT-II as I think my Logitec has gone long enough now

 

[Jeje6410]

For the last test in Dragon Trial I was able to further improve my time and secure my fourth time in a row in the first 1000 with a time of 1'49'880. I can go to bed and sleep peacefully 🤣🤣 Waking up tomorrow morning will be very hard !!!!

 

[CarreraGT]

I hate what they've done to the E36 in GT7, the handling is a mess and nothing like the real thing.

Anyway, I reluctantly banged a few laps in last night and was sitting on exactly 3.00%! Hoping it held up overnight for gold.

 

[crome]

Let's start with the important part: I fixed the issues with the GTPlanet TT Assistant plug-in, it should now hopefully work again for everyone 🤞 ... however you need to update to the new version via the link in my signature.

In other news, I managed to squeeze another tenth from my Vulcan PB. This wasn't my best ever S2 split at 1:05.713, but a pretty flawless (for my standards) S3 at exactly 21.000.

That was just enough to pass @Dolph Drago and, amazingly, regain P1 on my friends board. 🤯

Listen, I realise that the Vulcan doesn't get nearly as much love and track time from you guys as the M3, but it still causes a major case of imposter syndrome for me 🤣

Also, inspired by @Jeje6410 's post I checked my stats and realised that this will be the 6th top 1000 and 5th top 500 in a row. Feeling pretty good about that!

(I am obviously not considering the Michelin Lake Louise event here which, luckily, we do not and will never speak about in this thread 😜)

Spoiler: The new lap

I'll be away from the PS5 until Sunday. Happy Halloween to those of you who celebrate it, and have a nice weekend everyone.

 

[CosmicMinster]

Wanted to get some last minute improvements on the Dragon Trail time trial since I really enjoyed this combo and happy to report I succeeded. Lap time of 1:48.496 which is a 0.041 improvement from my previous PB of 1:48.537 and honestly I could have went faster on this lap but I kind of messed up on the final turn and on the exit of the chicane but regardless I'm happy with a sub .500 time. I look forward to the next time trial!

 

[Dolph Drago]

@crome, you receive a for fixing the plug-in, but a for passing me in the Vulcan.

Anyway, since tonight was the last chance to improve my time in the M3, I gave it a looooong go. I was really hoping to get under 1:49. It took over 200 miles, but I did make a gain! Of .011 seconds... I ran a lot of 38.6 (and even a handful of 38.5) sector 1's. But on my fast lap it was a .785. Ugh. I guess 1:48's were not meant to be for this TT. Nor a top 100.

[Gomario JSP]

Morning folks,

Congratulations to all you guy fighting each timetrial and posting insane times on the boards.
Aliens popping out of nowhere here these days!.

I kind of have had it with the running TT's for some days now and just can't drag myself to try over and over again on cars that are not that crazy happy on the handling, but that's just me, maby to many hours so enjoyed the other things on GT7, blasting around the Ring instock Ferrari's made me smile again instead of beeing frustrated.
I't like my "one week efford" begins to get even smaller now, it's more like 2 or 3 sessions and i'm beginning to losse my interest, even on the ones where i am descent high on the ranking, Lake louise for example, i was top 20, now 38 but i just don't have the motivation to try again, i know good progression would be possible but just don't feel like mega trying.
So respect to all you that keep hammering! , gimmy some mojo dudes!

That said, i had one morning left to set a time in the Vulcan and try to uppen my place on the board between you pricks 😘
Very annoying handling on the Vulcan, the understeer on rotation is difficult to manage because you can't get on throttle to soon, to help it rotate, lifting of seems to help a bit, but i hate having to get to 1th gear to rotate

It's a fun challenge, but now i quite had enough of it , but seeing the new trial....... i don't know about that, i see myself in tankslap heaven already".... we will see how fast we can go sideways
Lots of corners on autopolis are sideways material

But....... did make a little jump on the Vulcan

@crome i'm sorry my man but you have a weekleft to try, peace i'm out on the damn Aston

[hyperspeed980]

I'll happily take my 3rd top 100 for that M3 trial.

(4th if we count narrowly missing the LFA one by about 5 places)

 

[Jeje6410]

I am very happy with this result at Dragon Trial where I was able to obtain a ranking in the top 1000 for the fourth time in a row. And this is not over because at TT112 with the Vulcan I am currently 704th. And I will definitely come back to improve this time, because this Vulcan on this circuit is really interesting. So why not a 5th ranking in a row in the 1000th.
I'm also happy with this consistency that I've been able to achieve for a few TTs and I'm crossing my fingers that this can continue because I'm enjoying driving these TTs so much.
Congratulations to all those who throughout the TTs obtain alien rankings at each TT and who indirectly motivate us to surpass ourselves and to be better at each new TT.

Good drive and enjoy
