Thank you man, also all the best to you, and to all my online friends and competitors here Without you all, I wouldn't be nowhere near as quick and have the desire to race, so thanks again!

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!

[ZevZoq]

Yeah Merry Xmas to all you lot...even the aliens!

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

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Happy Holidays all! Thank you for your inspiration to keep getting faster over this past year.

I set out a goal to gold every TT in 2024 and you lot helped me push through and achieve that!

Wishing you all a safe and merry Christmas!

 

[ZEE]

Even though my Goodwood lap overshadwoed it, I did tenteraly improve my Catalunya lap yeseterday in the Red bull junior so yay!

Now i just gotta chase @Gorefast's time now lol.

 

[Soccmals]

Happy holidays to all of you.

Silent, but present.

 

[RWinkelmann]

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!

 

[P-Courty]

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 on 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.

That said, this thing moves around a lot if you want it to. 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!

While everyone is wishing others a Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, may I say to everyone...

While everyone is wishing others a Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, may I say to everyone...

And Merry Christmas and winter holidays to you, Dolph, and all the other fellow community members here. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused here this year. I hope 2025 and beyond will be a better year for us. And it's always a great time to stay indoors and race, eat, and help each other out in this time trialing experience. Santa brought my gift early, a ps5! Couldn't afford the ps5 Pro though, it was $699.99 at Best Buy.

And enjoy the new year, 2025!


Here's my first lap of Barcelona in the Junior, it's not my best lap, but take a look:

Here's my first lap of Barcelona in the Junior, it's not my best lap, but take a look:

Why is it that there is no sound ? Sound is part from the experience and can give informations.

Maybe you should activate the assist that displays the trajectory line, you are often not on the right place on the track. You could gain precious time by making a better use of track width.

[Edit]

First 10 laps stint at barcelona :

Did a 5 laps when this TT came up and I was just shy above 1:49 and was in silver, but since the WR improved I was just outside silver.

Now not so far from gold, but not sure I'll push.

And I still need to do something about Goodwood.

Come to think of it, I don't know how you could even upload a GT7 vid direct from PS5 to youtube without sound. Like.... where did it go? 🤔 😆

Here's my first lap of Barcelona in the Junior, it's not my best lap, but take a look:

You definitely brake too early and then have to keep coming off the brakes to avoid slowing down before the corner. Try to memorise the braking points and brake as late as possible. Then brake constantly hard and take the speed with you into the corner.
