Early handbrake at the first 'hairpin' turn instead of late to set the car up for a faster exit - and a sharper turn-in on the last corner to get the car pointed to the line faster.
You can proper hook the wheel all the way around like you're playing an actual rally game on the last corner, it feels unintuitive at first for Gran Turismo considering you'd never do it otherwise but the car sticks with it and pulls you around a lot quicker.

Are you straightening up as soon as you're facing the line and pushing forward? Or curling around a bit after? This corner is the bane of my lap. I find the wheels are just churning again and I'm not moving forward.

Feeling good about that! I think I can get a low .7 but certainly will struggle for improvements here on out - not that I've anything to complain about.

Most fun I think I have ever had with a TT. Love it.

Well done! Mega-time right there,
Congrats 😁, we now expect a top 10 though 😁🤣🤣🙏🙏

It is currently 2nd most difficult

And it has just become a little more difficult...

How much until it goes up to THE most difficult one? What time is needed? Not that I am cheering for it, just curious 🧐

It's not just time; the other columns in the main table play a role too in the algorithm. Still a long way to go though, so I'm sure more people will creep into gold, silver and bronze over the next week and a half.

Despite the awkward start setup, this is a great little TT.

I'm still turning as I'm coming to the line and straightening out as I come up to it. I'm trying to get the throttle down and have it angled to the line as early as possible, rather than slide through - as that's where you bleed off the speed.

I'm trying!!!

Jesus Christ I have no chance at rally TT. It feels so.. random for me. I love DR2.0 and am alright at it but I never liked dirt stuff in this game, have never understood it, and a bunch of laps here now really hammer home that I don’t ‘get’ where I’m gonna gain the time.

That said, I did manage to improve my Le Mans time to be back in gold! Don’t want to spend more time on it but I know I could go a bit lower.

Any tips for controller users on this TT? I'm stuck in 47.122 since my first session, and cannot see how improve that.

If you could upload your lap we can maby point out some things 😁

How are you all tackling the chicane after the tarmac? What’s working for you?

Finding like I’m not sure where track limits generally are on parts of this track too. The right corner after the jump has gotten me often, and that chicane is just an unknown.

Much the same boat as @StevenSpiegel here.
