I am guessing it will be something easy since we had few difficult ones last few, right ?

lol well holy s&%$ my time at Catalunya is now down to 6.24%! Wow...I just don't understand how there's still time like that being found by the aliens here. I haven't had any time at all since last week to get behind the wheel so I'll be starting pretty much from square one when I do get a chance. And I didn't feel like I had much left then when I was at 5.1%!

Took me 5 days. Most of all TT so far. I could never replicate the quick right/left flick at the chicane top times do. Controller sensitivity at max. Hopefully thats enough for gold

Yeah probably the Cossie at Brands or something, gold bar is indeed quite high on the last onces, or we are getting slower 🤣

There is likely to be another tie-in with the World Series Final, as there has been for every round. TTs associated with two of the three rounds featured the Red Bull X2019 Competition. So don't be surprised if we see that again, hopefully at a track more suitable to it than Grand Valley was.

If there was a "mad" icon i would have pushed it
I can tell you upfront if that is the case, i'm skipping it ..... again....

I mean... statistically you might be right.. but I really hope you are wrong this time.... X2019 on Road Atlanta or RB ring, no thank you. How about nice new challenge, Volvo, dirt track, Sardegna. 😍

Hi guys (and Greek)

Back to Catalogna with the nervous Yaris.
Gaining another tenth is a really painful process and requires many, many, many tries (at last, for me).

I've finally entered the very select "0:46 Club" and I'm very sure @Jeje6410 will join me very soon:

S1: 12,763 - I really don't see how to lower my score on this sector...
S2: 34,225 - Despite a very medium start of the straight, I've finished very fast and improved my best S2 and my overall PB.

Gold is now at 3 tenths ahead and it seems more like hiking the Everest Mount with sandals (like a german tourist).

Happy lapping and Viva España!!

A fourth GTWS tie-in TT seems guaranteed but I'd wager it'll fortunately be something else, not the X2019. We had that one for Rd.1 and 3 and the wet Gr.3 RBR one for Rd.2.

I forgot to post that I got in to gold on the Yaris one last night, and now I’m thinking it’s likely no longer gold already at the rate things are going - I don’t even wanna check yet. 😂



(also, 4K footage from the PS5 looks ass, wtf)

Sitting in the back of Vule's driving class helped me shave 3 seconds and get silver. I think that's it for me.

 

[JC_Dude]

Just finished another run. Very happy with the 46.331 I managed to achieve. Reasonably comfortable now at +2.18%. The aliens would need to dip below 45s to knock me out, which hopefully won’t happen.

I'm glad I was able to help a little bit

After a weekend away I've done another 200 miles today and have to conclude I don't think I can get gold at La Sarthe. I'm looking for half a second and there's nowhere I'm taking a chunk of time out of it. I've got gold opt. times but I suspect those are with red sectors I can't repeat clean. The ghosts just disappear on lines it's impossible to replicate. Watching that red dot dance about on the replays is hilarious. It's just not possible to navigate this many changes of direction smoothly on the dual shock - the interface isn't set up to allow it. It's a different game. Not being able to steer the car is a fairly significant barrier to progress.

I seriously didn't think I'd be any good at this, but I seem to have proven myself wrong which is quite nice. I don't think I can see much more time, maybe a small bit where the joker lap is and also I could get a luckier final turn. Everything else was amazing for my standards.

I would love this.

 

[Dolph Drago]

.022 seconds. That was my improvement at LeMans tonight. Frustrating, as my optimals would put me into the 26's.

 

[ZevZoq]

Well, several hours more at Catalunya and I managed to find about half a second...which put me back at 5.20%. That's where I was a week ago and still not silver! And I'm at about #3500 on the world board...crazy! Must only be about 50K taking part in the stupid thing.

Holy hell!

 

[AndreiSZS]

I don't think I've got so high. When these TTs work for you it's like a drug. Will try to join 45s club.

Damn Doodle! Slow down! You're like the ultimate Gran Turismo driver, good at everything, any tire, now any surface.

I was on a high .4xx pace coming into the final corner, but suddenly got bogged down in gear 2 as I powered towards the line, 45.639 P8!!

First session done, might revisit this one later. (At no point did it feel like I knew what I was doing)
