Time Trial Discussion

Pass on the RBJ. I shall be a spectator for this week's. Enjoy all and Merry Christmas!

Early days. Sub 45 is on the table, but I'll string it together some other time. Really fun to push this one! Happy lapping team.

The results for TT119 at Autodrome Lago Maggiore - Full Course in the Gr.4 are over here. I have updated the opening post with the index of all TTs and the second post with the community scoreboards.

Here are some statistics for TT120 at Goodwood Motor Circuit in the Renault Sport Mégane Trophy '11.

Spoiler: GTP Scoreboard

There, it worked like a charm,
It finally worked and I was able to link my Youtube account to the ps5. So, now I won't have to use a mobile device for recording laps.

I have come to the conclusion that in 2025 I need to spend 3k on a sim rig in a desperate attempt to put an end to my lackluster performances.

I don't meant to upset you this close to Christmas, but have a look at the GTP leaderboard for the megane a few posts above... all you need is a pad clearly! 😅😳

 

[Famine]

Normally I'm too lazy to get on the wheel for TTs - I don't do them regularly anyway - and right now the rig is Christmas present storage. Gold on the pad for the Gr4 event took two clean laps in the Huracan.

Until I went to the original PS5 (complicated reasons to do with sharing) to try on the GTPlanet editorial pool account... which took 15 laps to get within 0.2s of my two-lap time on the office console...

I can't easily rationalise the difference here. About the only difference is that the old console is now hooked to a 1080p60 display and the new one to the 4K panel that the old one used to use...

You have to switch consoles and try again, you can't let a mistery like this unsolved !

Maybe the console was upside down? 😅

First test in Catalunya :
Very pleasant TT and Red Bull easy to control. Get gold in 1'46'604 with optimal time at 1'46'405

Have another 1/2 second or so I can clean up if I need it I think.

You are definitely the fastest Can-a-Dan I know!

Hey Chris,

in the perhaps overly optimistic hope that you're actually going to apply some advice ... the main problem I see is that you do not modulate brake and throttle input at all here, it's always 0% or 100%, never anything in-between. Most TTs and certainly this one benefit greatly from careful and partial application of inputs. Are you still using face buttons for braking and accelerating? If so: Stop. Doing. That. Learn to use your shiny new PS5 dual sense triggers with haptic feedback, and use them with restraint.

 

[newmedia_dev]

@Dan_Tes can I ask a favour?

Just to amend that Select statement (like "laggo")


Count > 5000

Edit:

I can already see what Christmas week and the week after races are gonna be in the dailies

Laggo

A VR open top car friendly/show off race (MX5 at Atlanta anyone?)

Run of the mill Daily C sprint with no strat but the illusion of a strat

 

[LogSwapper]

That one took a while. 90km of sucking and then out of nowhere a lap that was .4s faster than my previous best. No idea what I did different/better, but I’ll take it nonetheless..

 

[Barareklam]

It's a banker and I think holidays are coming and I think I will not chase better times, this time should hold for gold and I am good with that.

Talking about holidays...

Believe me, I'm trying to do better. At least I earned a bronze on my very first lap, but there is still a lot of work ahead. I've been using the face buttons a majority of the time I've played within my 26 years of gaming. It all started with the ps1 back in 1998.

@LogSwapper Great time, you're probably using MT and different button options.

@Barareklam Amen to that GIF. I'd like to drift my way to learning all MT without the face buttons, X/square.

 

[Gomario JSP]

So...I did try the Junior despite I didn't planed to do so, it's not realy my cup of thee, I agree it's a lot better than his big bother but not planning to do hammertime on this one , maby ill try some laps on the TV instead of thursday Nokia time, but for now I hope this sticks 🤣

 

[Chris30]

Good luck Jomar. I guess I'll focus on Goodwood today and keep watching your Youtube videos. I'll have to pay close attention to your driving lines, gears and braking points. I'll study other replays from my friends too, as reference guides. Enjoy your Nokia time today. I absolutely hate that final chicane, it's a huge lap-killer. You have to go slow and use caution while going through it.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

The time just keeps coming 👀. A red final sector means there is still more...

 

[TumeK5]

I've been using the face buttons a majority of the time I've played within my 26 years of gaming.

No wonder you struggle

@tmtk May be able to get by with buttons (I still don't know how he does it), but you definitely need smoother inputs to be faster/more consistent!

 

[Dan_Tes]

@Dan_Tes can I ask a favour?

 

[Chris30]

Hey, how long did it take you to get the hang of MT and the different button layouts? The ps5 controller is much different from the ps4 one. I may end up having to use the motion sensor option just to get a feel of what it's like.

 

[2cam16]

So I lied. I just don't enjoy any of these RB cars but after reading everyone's reviews, it wasn't bad after all.

I need to jump in again with a little bit of offtopic, sorry guys

The new GT3 Endurance wheel arrived, so I decided to try and create some sort of an unboxing video for the first time, if you're interested you can check it out



@330_D I know you are waiting for details and impressions, all I have to say is - buy it! Quality is on a whole different level compared to ClubSport line, buttons, shifters, everything. The rim itself is amazing, 318mm, just as it should be, this material is grippy as hell, bare hands or gloves, no matter, it's literally perfect, I can't wait to have a proper session with it

 

[ScottPuss20]

It won’t last long but it’s fun to be in the top 100 for the few minutes it might last 😆

View attachment 1413856

Edit. The best I got was 36th. That was 3 minutes after the start of the event 😆

Oh why does it have to be this layout? Yuck.

You don't have to do that.

I'm stoked for you! I'm a little broke with the holiday around the corner but this will certainly be high on the list. Appreciate the unboxing and your opinion, sir!
