Time Trial Discussion

[Gomario JSP]

Morning folks,

I needed sleep.... but could not set my alarm later than O-sixhundred because my GV laps were promising yesterday
one session yesterday opend all motivational books for me, the bad thing.... i never reached such a low bridge-split
in fact i had a lot of trouble getting it into the .1xx this morning and do restart if i'm higher then .2xx because i will never hit a PB then.

after an hour of trying with some good sectors, but a lot of bad once i finally got in that personal window of oppertunity and got a few 26.0's on the bridge but kept overshooting the next righthander after it.

Then ran a 26.107 split but absolutely hammered the last sector
So..... still almost a tenth on the table but i doubt i will ever nail that.

Trailbraking is key on this one plus trying to limit the exit oversteer shenanigans by steering compared with lifting of tiny bits.
If you are on the edge over oversteer and open the steering you can prevent some sliding and go forward instead of sideways.....
I know.... basics, Duuhh-moment...

That said..... 2:12.888
(that should stick for the top 100 right, doesn't for my best 28 but i'll take it! )

Simply lovely...

Was all kind of close though
and the exit of the final chicae was realy on the edge, i invalidated a lot of laps there.



Happy days guys

Little update: I managed to get a 6:18 but the lap was really bad, I mean so bad that I didn't even screenshot it to share because to me it didn't feel worthy to be shared nor was I satisfied. I made that same error like last time where it almost cost me a whole second but this time it looked to be around 0.6 lost just by that same silly mistake. But the good news is that I am getting better each session just by looking at my split times. If I can carry that same pace and not make the same mistake, my time would probably be a low 6:18 or maybe even break into the 6:17 zone. This combo is not very friendly for controller users but I'm going to keep pushing through!

It is good to know that at least in theory it is possible to get gold on this TT with a controller (not that I will be able to do it). What stick sensitivity do you use?

Well, just also focus on doing the best you can from what skills you've learned and studied over the past several years. Good luck! I agree, a lot of posts I see here have some form of wisdom.

Allright, I get the point, I'm not posting here anymore until I post a decent lap time in any of the TT's. Don't ruin my holiday spirit now! Or I'll call the Grinch.

Well, finally!

I knew this was more than possible, I was on the verge so many times, sat down tonight and gave it ~30 laps for warmup, did nothing, couldn't get under 1:21.1, but the optimal time was 1:20.761, so it just had to be done. Restarted the session, rented a car for good luck, and literally in my first new lap I did this

I'm done, tomorrow I'll decide which TT will torture me next

Nice lap, don't think I ever had a .7 opt!

Going from this one to the Nords is a nice transition as it's another throttle-balancing act on racing softs. It's actually quite relaxing compared to the Porsche.

It's actually quite relaxing

You must teach me your ways - I've been hanging on for dear life and spitting expletives. And I'll have to go again given I'm back in silver.

It's relaxing, you can have a nap in most of the corners! Just scraped a 6:19 yesterday and that's hopefully enough to move on to the S2000.

Hope you are following a ghost, it's a serious timesaver! Learn the hidden knowledge of the ghosts and then turn them off 👻

I have it set it to the max which is 10 I believe. Also all time trials are made possible to gold with a controller but it depends on the players skill level mainly.

Congratulations, is incredible to get gold with a controller, what settings are you using? And any tips on the aproach? I very far from gold, 10 seconds, but silver is within 2 seconds or so. If you can share a replay even if is a bad lap for your standards will be amazing.

Very sorry, I did not see your post. As in settings do you mean assist? I have no assists except default ABS. My transmission is manual. As for tips, just practice is all I can say, watch the top 10 replays and learn what line they are taking. It's not an easy combo and it is a long lap with plenty of mistakes on the way but that also makes room for lots of improvement to be made. I'm not too sure about sharing a replay but I'll think about it.

After 2,500 km spread across multiple days, I finally achieved a decent time... 6:20.735.
I hope it will hold.
I used TCS 1 throughout the entire run, ABS set to default, with 10 sensitivity, no other assists, and manual transmission.
In case anyone would like to see the replay, you can find it under the "TTNUR" or "NURTT" tag (I forgot which one I used).

The new sector optimum time from all replays is now 06:10.069.
The gold cutoff time would be 06:21.171.

Thanks, I'm trying to follow a close ghost to gold (6:22 or something) in AT, I can follow him in GP section, need practice, and when I will confident try to practice MT, but being realistic, this is a very difficult combo to gold it for mere mortals.
