Guys, I did another thing.

Thanks, @A_Higher_Place! I was getting ready to post my lap which I felt was pretty good after gaining over 3 and half tenths on my previous best. Then you post your alien lap right before me, making mine look like poop!

Congrats to both above. Phenomenal lap times from where I stand. Especially considering using directional and X/O buttons in one case, if I'm not mistaken?

Glad I got this one after having a hard time at Lake Louise, LeMans and Catalunya RX.

Amazingly, my stubbornness paid off

But man, what a struggle. This was the hardest fight for gold in a long time. Although in the end I almost enjoyed it if it weren't for the starting position shenanigans you have to do.

Now can we please close the chapter on dirt TTs for the foreseeable future? Thank you!

Now I’m beginning to think I only got a good time because all the aliens were asleep.😀

Now I feel pressure to see if I can improve and get my sub 1% again as I’ve slipped out of that now.

Lol

I'm not sure of @TheNormsk's setup, but I used the directional buttons up until GT Sport and made the switch from X/O to triggers at the end of last year (during the Shelby Deep Forest and Gr.2 Fuji TT's). Also transitioned from automatic to manual for the C7 Corvette ZR1 at Watkins Glen roughly two years ago (that thing was an absolute handful going up the esses).

Looking back, it's like I was in the Medieval times. I was even in a league before that with those ancient controls. I'm not sure how I survived!

My gear.

It’s pretty nice gear except the seat is too small for me but not bad enough that I need to change it.

I’ve just spent an hour trying to improve my time but so far no improvement. I think I’ve got pressure anxiety now. I keep on nipping at the low 1:22’s but I’m not hitting the 1:21s. My optimal is 1:21.7 but that’s still slower than my current best.

I’m aiming for a 1:21.4 to get in the top 100 but I can’t find those few tenths at the moment.

My god, what a horrible car the Mission X is. I sincerely hope that Porsche choose not to build this car, and develop a deserving replacement for the 918 instead.

I noticed the time had moved and I’d slipped so I ended up doing another thing

GT7 | Mission-X TT | Pushing for top 100


Now I really want that top 100 placement. It’s getting harder….
