Time Trial Discussion

That new Merc is going to be a tough pill to swallow towards my savings... gonna have to start doing TTs again.

But i had fear for Nordschleife RedBull X shenanigans...... so in a way.... i'm happy
I'm curious how the thing handels the curbs tho.....
Besides.... i kind of like the Bullring, has everything a track needs to have except for the tracklimits on the last corner

I'm ok with the Red Bull Ring, but I never really like this kind of spaceship car (and an EV to boot). I probably will just get a good enough gold time and be done with it.

I think I secured silver at red bull ring, TCS 2.

Hope my yaris time holds gold, cause I don't think I'm able to improve that, and 2 milions credits today for gold Le Mans (wasted on that ridicously expensive new legendary car...).

Dipped below 1:22 on RBR with the Mission X. I think it's my first top 100, though I'm sure it won't last. I followed the current top ghost and feel like there's plenty of time to find for the aliens. My lap was far from ideal, so it shouldn't be this close to the WR. I'd estimate a 1:20.3 WR for this one.

Horrible car btw, so little grip despite RS tyres. Any slight slide and it's game over, the car snaps like crazy.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial: On a Mission​

The latest Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial is now available and, as is usually the case after an update, features one of the newly added vehicles...

Well, it was fun for a few laps but I'll probably never touch this car again. Nice to have an easier TT done now considering how hard the last two have been (are). There's a nice pattern with the foot work to be found here for those on a wheel. It really feels like you're cruising rather than racing.

Happy lapping folks!

Back in the sim rig w/ VR.

It's so early, I don't know if this will end up being a good lap or not. 🤷‍♂️

Hi guys (and Greek)

Welcome back to RBR, once again...

The Mission X has a lot of (too much) power and torque, so you must be VERY careful when exiting corners. Otherwise, you'll visit the countryside and maybe also, all Austria.

After few "complicated" laps trying to understand how to drive this car, how and where to brake, I've finally scored a nice 1:22.960

S1: 19.415 - Not my best S1 (19.250) but enough to score in gold. The braking point at the end of this sector is crucial to start an excellent S2.
S2: 37:611 - I don't like the inner part of this circuit and definitely not with this Mission X.
S3: 25.934 - Pretty happy with this sub 0:26 here. Not much to gain on this one.

All these similar cars suffer from the same disease: insane power, crazy acceleration but very poor brakes. With this Mission X, you'll spend 30% of lap laps on brakes... Anticipation is really important.

I'm in gold territory and based on my best sectors, there are potentially 2/3 tenths but I'm not sure to come back in Austria to chase them. But who knows?

Happy lapping folks!!

I can't say I am looking forward to try this new TT... and I have few hope that in the end I'll like it.

And I think I will just not try Rally-Cross, I really don't like that track and have more fun activities to do on GT7.

True true.... but still happy there is no Redbull X...
But i think imma have fun with the new cars ( execpt de Mission X then ) , but i know i'm going to have fun with the other Porsche on the ring, so indeed prob. less timetrial time this week then.
Catalunya is done for me, i invalidated a 46.140 this morning, but was rather quickly done with it.

So Nordschleife cruising it's going to be this week , plus empty my bank account with all duplicates on the new ones, altho i'm not sure i'll duplicate the new Merc....

But.... this evening is still Nokia style Mission X

 

[half_sourly]

True true.... but still happy there is no Redbull X...

Don't count your chickens yet. The X2019/Nordschleife combination (or whatever they choose) would be a separate TT under the World Series banner if they 1) do it and 2) repeat what they did for the three rounds' linked TT events.

Yes, I think you'll like it at the end, as it's not so complicated to get a good score once you have the braking points.
Tidgney's guide should be very helpful (when available).

And I think I will just not try Rally-Cross, I really don't like that track and have more fun activities to do on GT7.

You're right, this one is really hard, almost violent.
You'd better stay away 👍
