Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial: Megane Madness​

A new Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial is now available, with another road car event set to challenge players in the global hot-lap event...

Enjoyed this one a lot this morning minus the chicane of course! That thing is a pain!

Happy my gold at GV held.. Also happy with my bronze at Nurb. My 6:41 lap there felt like I was basically barely in control most of the lap. More than half a minute from the top time! Just nuts...

My controller recc run at Goodwood has me in silver. But I think gold might be fairly tough actually. I love the car. It's one of my faves...but the track is weird. It's an amourphous blob of indistinct corners and ill-defined apexes sitting in the middle of mostly nothing with a sanity-destroying choke point right at the end. Very Lovecraftian.

First try. Hate it. Also, feels really difficult.

Ooooffff....this new TT really is about driving a really understeery car in the Real Understeer Simulator.

And apparently 62 people have a foot fetish.

Hello there!

I got surprised my time at Grand Valley held up for a top 1000. 😎

Spoiler

First run at Goodwood and the track is nice but the lack of reference points is not. 😁

There is an article about the new TT ?

The idea of driving a modestly-powered hot hatch at Goodwood actually sounds quite pleasant, so I’m definitely looking forward to this one.

I also haven’t tried the Gr.4 @ Maggiore yet, but I assume the Huracan Gr.4 is the ideal choice?

Too bad they couldn't have chosen a more boring one...

I would've loved the MR Clio...or how about the EG Civic?

But PD's combos are often...bland.

The Huracan is the meta car. However getting gold is achieveable with lots of cars. I got it first with a Viper, and I've seen some NSX, 458 Italia and even a Subaru in the top 100.

Besides that the other most popular option in the top 100 is the Genesis.

2nd session was a lot better. Turns out, if you know where the track goes, you’ll be faster. Huh.

If you go faster around the lap, your laptime will be lower.

You mean meta cow right?

Not a huge fan of this one, but in there for now with probably another 1/2 second in it if I clean things up.

Very enjoyable, this one. Still some time to be gained as well, really like this combo.

Why...why are there 5 separate options for the same action?

First quick get-to-know session in the Mégane. I think I'm going to enjoy this. Easy gold if you ask me (well everything's easy after the Nordschleife).

Just theoretically... if someone was to create a special festive GTP Megane livery to clog up the scoreboards, I for one would happily use it... ✨🐄🥛🔥🏁🎅🏻

Great idea, so would I! This one lacks the GTP flavour, but it sets the tone ...

I won't ask you then.

Ahah found the exact same, but did not put it on.

First 10 laps stint, not fan of the combo, that last chicane...

 

[TumeK5]

I won't ask you then.

Not wanting an easy gold

That's the spirit, git gud 💪

First of all, my final time for the time trial featuring the S2000 @ Grand Valley netted me my 30th gold, whereas the X2019 @ N24 got me my fourth bronze - though the prize for the latter was indeed doubled, so that's fine by me. I also tried both current time trials today since I hadn't tried them yet, and for each one, I got a time that's less than 2.70% off the top, so that's great! Barring the X2019 one, I could very well end up getting four golds back-to-back, since I got gold for the one featuring the Mission X @ RBR.
