Time Trial Discussion

OK, you win!


BTW, Amazing time. Well done.

On my new session I think I'll need some thumping synthwave/retrowave mix playing to propel this spaceship along quicker (Tangent Alert! Now I'm getting nostalgic for the WipeOut game series which I wish was updated with a modern VR version..)

Thank you. And sector three was a 25.395 , 0.2 off my best... But I'm probably at my limit now over a full lap.

What the h*ll ... I don't look one day and suddenly everybody is flying here 🤣🤣 is there someone in the top 100 that isn't GTplanet?? 🤣🤣
Well done! , epic time there mr stats 🙏

I'm beginning to think I have to go back, my place 85 ( was 34 at the time I believe ) isn't top 100 worthy anymore in the end I'm afraid 🤣🤣

TC 0 ?

TC 0 ?

No, back to TC1 today after watching @Mistah_MCA's guide.

Hi friends

Quick update after a busy and stressful two weeks; two time trials missed. Not sure what I missed out on but WHAT IS THIS PORSCHE!?? Didn’t fancy the Rallycross Yaris even though I have just bought a GR Yaris in real life! Mud/gravel/snow physics are not my thing on GT7 even with the recent improvements

Porsche at RBR.. well. Yeah. I tried a few fruitless combos until I settled with TC2. The car seems to respond really well to traction control so thanks to @Tidgney , @Mistah_MCA and anyone else that recommended it, I couldn’t even get to the start line with TC0

It’s a good looking thing, cockpit view is nice and that’s it. Will be glad when it’s over!

Found another tenth and slowly inching my way towards the top 100 ...

... but of course still only 5th on my friends board, currently sandwiched between @TheNormsk two accounts. This is some fierce competition folks!

After yesterday's session I thought I was approaching my ceiling, but after today I actually feel like I have a few more tenths in me. My PB was with a relatively weak 56.115 S2 split, and I have repeatedly been below 56 seconds so ... I guess I'll try again? It's an oddly addictive one. On paper there's not much to like about it, but I keep coming back.

I will say that my left knee hurts after a session in this thing because I spend more time on the load cell brake than on throttle. 🤣

That's wild that you guys did this with TCS. Mine was set to 0... I may have to revisit 👀👀👀

No don’t. You’re already too good.

 

[TheNormsk]

It’s a folly but I’m trying again. I matched my prior best to the thousandth but why can’ti string my sectors together for the perfect lap.

I guess if it was that easy, we would all be doing it.

@A_Higher_Place DOO EEET!

 

[TheNormsk]

The struggle is real.

I fear I have ingrained 1:21.4x into my driving style and I can’t figure out how to break it.

 

[Dolph Drago]

I can't figure out turn 1. I'm happy if I'm in the 19.2's in sector 1 and can count on one hand the number of times I've run a .1. It's killing me. I've gotten fairly consistent with sub 37's in sector 2. And I can run 25.3 sector 3's no problem...only they always seem to occur on a lap where I'm well down.

 

[TheNormsk]

I figured out where I gain and lose out to the top ghosts and how to mitigate it.

Though I’m not inclined to share any more incase it makes the rest of you faster 😀

Edit: I’ll post up a video later that may expose what I found.

Also, did my old account as well.

Also this one.
