Thank you and happy holidays, Jeje :)

Was thinking the other day, how come you've never entered one of the Titans races? Just spotted your tuning thread the other day and your experience could be a great contribution to the cup cars setup collection and your pace should fit right in :)

Edit,: and of course, happy holidays to all reading this. Thank you for being so accessible and making this part of gtplanet such a friendly and helpful place. You're awesome!

I don't have a dedicated room to play. So on Sundays I don't have much choice but to leave the television to my wife and my daughter... But if one day they give me the opportunity to join you it will be with great pleasure my friend

I immediately felt better today.
I was able to improve straight away and after just a few laps I had a 1:44.758 on the clock.
Not my best sectors but definitely an improvement.
I still haven't figured out the best way to take the chicane though, the last sector is really from hell.
I think a 1:44.3 or 4 is possible if I hit everything perfectly, but for now I'm happy.

Great! Thanks for joining me at the catalunyan track but I am afraid you will have to go faster... 😁 I reached my first goal of a sub-47 lap time and would love to get also gold.

On a side note: I love to see my name on top of your list but maybe you should consider adding some of the gentle top guns here to see what is possible and how it is done. I am happy to share my medium ghost but it is better to learn from the best.

Maybe you will join a "Clash of the Titans" in the new year to pick some... Happy lapping!

Thank you @Jeje6410

Wishing all you on here a very merry Christmas too

As everyone has already said this is such an amazing community, and without it I don't think I would have found the fun in GT7 again, the competition, guidance, help and just general chit-chat (even if it's in a wierd alien language) is what brings me back day after day

🎄🎅👽

Thanks @Jeje6410, merry Christmas to you and your family.

And merry Christmas to you all!!!

And for the many aliens here happy new year. You are so damn fast that possibly Christmas is already passed by for you
 
It looks like most of you have moved on past the Megane in favor of the RB! I'm leaving again for about a week over the holidays and didn't have much time to invest into TTs, so I decided to focus my efforts at Goodwood and leave the RB for when I get back. Based one everyone's comments, I'm really looking forward to it.

At Goodwood my goal was 1:24s, but it wasn't easy. Soon after beginning todays session I landed at a 1:25.006... and stayed there for a looong time. After "slowing down" in the fast esses on the backside of the track, and also in the death chicane, exit speeds increased and times went down.

I really enjoyed the little (kinda big?) Megane, and it's a great example of FWD dynamics. Although in a TT like this, every little squiggle and squirm loses time, and with the front wheels having so much to do, it's easy for then to get overwhelmed.

This thing moves around a lot if you want it to though. You can coax the rear to come around on the brakes pretty easily, but step out too much and those fronts are gonna come back in line in an unsatisfying bout of wheelspin and lost time.

As per usual lately, the GTP bros are all seemingly picking up their pace. Everyone's so got dang fast in here now! I'm 268th in world, but still 4th on my friends list! Crazy!

Here's the lap. Haven't recorded anything in a while, so have at it!



Also got the IRL car loaded down for our holiday trip. Would be easier with a wagon, but we didn't get then in the US!

All of you are more than welcome to take a break from the TTs too... I'll be back in a week, and there's no need for any of you to keep getting faster while I'm gone!

Happy holidays, and happy lapping!
