There is also a model year limit of 2000 or older, meaning only Group C cars are eligible.

Interesting especially only pre 2000s but I think this will just be a gold and go for me, still haven't tried the Viper yet

Same for me, a gold and go. Haven't found many of the combos in the past few months interesting.

The Viper at Autopolis is a blast though. It can be frustrating at first, but once you get to grips with it, you will be A for away!

I intend on getting back to the Viper when I can find some seat time again.

I'm glad it's not just full Gr.1.

The Bugatti is super OP under Gr.1 BoP right now, it feels about as dominant as the Atenza did in Gr.4 when the game just came out. At least this way there might be some variety in car choice to be had.

Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial: Vitamin C​

The latest Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial, now available and running for the next two weeks, looks set to be a very high-speed affair paying homage to one of the greatest eras of one of the world’s most famous races...

 

[LogSwapper]

Could have been a great combo, but ruined by atrocious track limits. Now it’s just frustration city.

 

[Vule]

Holy mother of understeer & track limits!

Such a tricky combo on RH with this much power, corner exits are so difficult to get right without spinning the wheels too much.

Of course, very early days, hence the position, with so many little mistakes during the lap, I guess mid 27s are doable if I put my effort in, but I don't know, maybe I'll just gold this as well and call it a day.

Last time we were here GR1 was also on RH's right?, blasting around in the Sauber C9
I think it was in the 3:24's for me ??.... BoP did it bad this time then if the WR is in the 25's

Or am i missing something? ( prob. do )

Think i am not hammering this one, but we will see after a Nokia session this evening

 

[Vule]

Yup, around 5 seconds slower with the new BoP and physics

The results for TT112 at Autódromo de Interlagos in the Aston Martin Vulcan '16 are over here.

I have updated the opening post with the index of all TTs and the second post with the community scoreboards.

Here are some statistics for TT113 at Autopolis International Racing Course in the Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe '06.

Spoiler: GTP Scoreboard

The attached Excel file has this scoreboard as well as results for all TTs for everyone on the scoreboard.

Sounds about right Jomar!

That was my first real GR1 experience on a wheel, it was a errr… learning experience I came to love it in the end and bonded with CDAS as well which has never been my favourite (yes I get bored on the long straights and then miss my braking points)

I will probably give this one a miss as time is so short and it sounds a bit of a challenge. Titanic understeer and track limits are joy suckers so yeah. No.

Did 7 laps around du Mans, invalidated every single one of them. I think I'll be skipping this one :]

Don’t give up! I did four or five laps in my 962C and they were all invalidated. Once I learned the limits I had clean laps. Currently sitting in a mid-silver.

 

[ZevZoq]

Not a big fan of the new TT, but I established myself in bronze with a few laps on the controller to do the daily marathon. Might be able to get some wheel time in friday evening.

Thanks, might try again later this week if I find inspiration

I've been somewhat distracted by a little game called Call of Duty this past week so not had as much time on the treads, need to get back to the Dodge Riverboat as I'm close to Gold. Tried La Sarthe this morning for the daily marathon and I'm torn between the 962C and the R92CP, the Mazda seems faster overall but doesn't like turning as much as the more nimble Nissan 🤔 I'm going for Gold if I get there that will be it for such a long track.

Someone would need to pay me to drive a Gr.1 car around Sarthe, it's the most pointless experience imaginable.

 

[Metalgear9493]

Nice tie 🤝

Cheers, pretty stoked to dead heat a driver of your calibre!

May I ask which ABS setting you used in your 59.222 lap? I used weak ABS.

 

[stpatty]

It's not the same car and the track is slightly different but it's worth watching an onboard to see how much of a struggle it was to get these cars round a track:



Now imagine doing that for hours at a time. In the dark. And rain.

Sorry I can't, those people are aliens.

 

[DivitLad]

Think Ah 2400th can't be that bad a time, look at WR and 10seconds off and you like no way is that possible lol, More practice needed .

That's with a special qualifying engine and turbo pressure set to the max. That's not the way these cars were set for race day, or they wouldn't last more than 10 laps.

While I was setting a gold lap time at Le Mans, some jerk just lowered the bar by 0.7.

 

[Pesselles]

Hi guys (and Greek)

First day at Le Mans with lot of expectations (I never had gold here), but also lot of apprehension (see the video posted by @stpatty to understand why this is scary).

Ok, I post this image but it's no more accurate, as the WR just dropped at 3:24.420 ...

Nevermind, I was already consider to come back to improve my new-ex-gold score.

ATTACK!!!

 

[Dan_Tes]

No Circuit de le Sarthe here, I’m almost definitely passing…! Last go on the Viper and despite a slightly scruffy lap goal achieved and sub 2 minutes on the board ✅

I really like this one and it’s a shame I didn’t have more time to improve but hey ho!

I’m off on holiday now for a week! Have fun everybody and I will speak to you all when I return 😎

 

[StevenSpiegel]

While I was setting a gold lap time at Le Mans, some jerk just lowered the bar by 0.7.

Same here, now I'm gold again at 3:30.322 +2.89%, but I'm at my limit, this will be a very hard gold.

Edit: just exit and another improvement from P1, now I'm at 2.95% haha

 

[Vule]

as the WR just dropped at 3:24.420

Jesus... And this morning the 3:25.5 seemed unbeatable, watching the replay it was the perfect lap, but this is over a second down... Incredible, aliens at their best...

 

[Tidgney]

One of the most annoying time trials with the silly track limits!

 

[Pesselles]

Yes absolutely my friend, it's just crazy. And I guess it's aint over yet...

There will be enormous gaps on this TT. Tidgney is currently 10th with more 2 secs on the WR.

Congrats for your insane score!!
