Time Trial Discussion

[ScottPuss20]

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

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.

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.

You don't have to do that.

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

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!

The Red Bull Jr is such a nicer drive than its...dad? Big brother? Anyway, just like Goodwood, the final chicane at Catalunya is a major pain. And similarly, it ruins two laps. Then you've got the track limits everywhere else. Fun fact: I had 13 straight invalidated laps before my best tonight. What fun! My optimal was two tenths faster, but I can't string together every sector on the same lap to save my life.

Typical PD Production meeting
PD: Anybody got any new ideas for this weeks time trial?
<silence>
PD: We making anything on microtransactions yet?
<silence>
PD: Anybody pay us more than the fizzy drink people for shoving their name down users throats?
<silence>
PD: that's sorted then.

Reference for 2024:

select evt_id,track_name , car from events where evt_id>=60 and ( track_name like '%Bull%' or car like '%X201%') order by evt_id;

72 | Red Bull Ring | Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR GSR 06
89 | Red Bull Ring Short Track | BMW M3 Sport Evolution 89
90 | Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta | GT Red Bull X2019
97 | Red Bull Ring | Gr.3
107 | Grand Valley HWy 1 | GT Red Bull X2019
116 | Red Bull Ring | Porsche Mission X 23
118 | Nürburgring 24h | GT Red Bull X2019
121 | Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya GP | GT Red Bull X2014 Junior

Surely that isn't all the events Red Bull related. Didn't we have Spa in the wet with the Junior, too? Or am I misremembering?

Hello there!

How do you say "this track sucks" in Spanish? 😅

That's my first and only session in this TT, I'm not coming back to it.

I hope my time holds up for gold.

 

[Top Dog]

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!

Post your time then... gold medal dodger. 🫵🏼

He showed only 2024. The Spa one was Aug 2023. We also had this one. Might be more, I just woke up. 🫥

 

[TumeK5]

Leave me alone.

And for the record, I don't "dodge" gold medals. I just don't see it being necessary to post every time I achieve it, since it's not much of an achievement for me. Especially when 99% of the time I do the bare minimum to get gold.

As for you, Fernando, you will have to get back in there and improve if you want to get back to Top 100.

this is an insult to steering wheel metalworkers who need n-thousand sessions to get to silver!!!

Just kidding, nice one and done mate!

Mornings folks,

Ofcourse i did a session on Catalunya on the TV as i mentioned yesterday, was a lot better.
Two major problems on this combo though...( for me )

Transition from T7 to T8 is a mistery for me and kind of a lotery on hitting it the right way, most of the time while pushing i'll tankslap to Barry and when it does there is nothing you can do about it,

And ofcourse due to the lack of downforce on the slower parts of the track the chicane is quite difficult to nail.

The good thing about the junior is that it makes a lot of noise but lacks the speed so the brakes are good

Multiple times two tenths up after T13 but jumped the first sausage or let the car die in T15..

@TumeK5 ... and Top Dog ?

 

[Jeje6410]

New test today in Catalunya :
whether it's the eldest Red Bull or the junior, they are really 2 exciting cars... very strong ground support, super fast gear changes, and above all brakes that work and what's more, a pfffff engine noise ...
For this second session and the first of the day, I was able to improve my time to 1'46'290.

Your memory is fine. That list was a 2024 reference (Time Trial Event >=60). There were 6 Red Bull events in the first 59 time trials(4,13,24,34,37,45).

 

[newmedia_dev]

Do you mind if we shorten the tow rope to your ghost....I'd like to finish a bit closer to it (or least not a tiny dot in the distance)?


🤣

Thanks Mate, I appreciate it. 😎

Happy lapping!

 

[Talon16]

New TT isn't bad. I actually like the Jr RB car more than the normal one. It just seems more... down to earth so to speak. Cataluna is a decent enough track but I wish it was the no-chicane version.

Regardless, 46.663 should be good enough. NEXT!

 

[Moglet]

I must admit my heart sank a little when I saw the combo of the X2014 Jnr and Catalunya but I really enjoyed the few laps I tried with it. I don't think I'll be able to get gold on this one though.

Well, you are at right place that makes people faster, so if you want help, you know what to do

The Klam is right. I went from never golding a TT a year and a half ago to being able to gold nearly every single since. Even had a few top 100 finishes. I still feel like an imposter, but the numbers don't lie. This place is a snake pit of some of the legit fastest drivers in this game, and the best part is they are here not only for the bragging rights but to help others as well. It's a pretty unique place and one of the best on the Internet.

That said, I appreciate all of you who contribute here. This little weird place is a pretty amazing.

Cheers all, and as always, happy lapping 🖖

My end split of S2 was a 1:10.064, yours was 1:10.126....that's the same!
That means it's all in the final sector buddy!

You got this!

 

[newmedia_dev]

Heard rumours @TumeK5 @newmedia_dev can't get into the top 100, still lots more time to be found using a controller. 🫵🏼View attachment 1413909

I'm tired of your trolling now.

Here is my gold count stats along with dailies which is where I spend 99% of my TT time in

I've probably done as many dailies as hours you've played the game, my focus is primarily on racing, with a wheel and VR now so you do you. Although seeing your stats you've only got the game in the last 6 months or so 👍 keep going you can get good too.


I have other accounts but this will do for now. So when you call out gold hunters read the room.

I'm afraid you've been caught lying, considering I play GT7 on and off amongst other games.

6 months LOL 🫵🏼
