Time Trial Discussion

[Dragonwhisky]

Did the first 3 lap session at Goodwood, just before I had to cut Christmas Bird. 1st lap bronze 2nd & 3rd OOB DQed. Went for the knives at that point.

Second session, fighting off the turkey nap, determined to at least get silver. Lookin' ok for silver by L10 and then, lap 13, after back to back red laps, bounced a gold time in. I'm good here, even if the foot dude/dudette/person/alien thing or @Metalgear9493 throws down a 23, just before deadline, and bumps me out of the gold.

Merry Christmas/Happy New year/Happy Holidays, to the merry TT crowd and, more importantly, may your leftovers be tasty!

Please mr. Feetfondler, drop the wheel and go and do something else for a while, them feet aint gonna fondle themselves.

I am finally back in gold territory after a long hiatus, but only about 0.160 seconds or so to give. So go fondle em up!

He's coming to own the🐾 guy.

Bite yer tongue, er fingers!

 

[Chris30]

Go get 'em, L-shooter, I think you can do it 100%. You've always proved to us you have before.

The ending of my lap wasn’t much to speak of but the rest was good enough for me.

Hope people are enjoying a nice Christmas!

Wake up this morning, took a look at the thread and realise that my yesterday chicken gold must turned to silver .
Open my ps5 to confirm it and i was like that

 

[Gogga]

Just for formality
New TT

 

[crome]

Also another reminder that my plug-in still does not record any data for any of the events, even though it displays the new one already. I am going to fix this tomorrow. The fact that it still displays the Goodwood event is actually an intended new behaviour: I decided to show expired events for 12 more hours after they end so people can review their final results. Hope you like it.

 

[half_sourly]

And to add to the administration, reminder that the results will be late as I'm away. Likely Sunday.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

This went on until 5AM, first the Shooter set the time around 3 and then the feet guy beat him 2 hours later

These guys are worse than the grinch...

 

[Metalgear9493]

Supposedly L Shooter got the WR but his time didn't upload



You can see at the very end the dreaded disconnect message, that's tough luck

 

[Tidgney]

Here's this weeks guide! Quite slidey, although I did enjoy driving it today! Pad seems harder than normal here but still very doable!

 

[Gomario JSP]

Hope you all are enjoying your Christmas dudes and dudettes

I had some playtime this morning, started out with the Redbull to see if I had "chicane" feelings today.......naaah.... 🤣🤣

I did however made huge progression

From 1:44.936 to a whopping 1:44.931 🤣🤣

I close this one, I have had enough of the chicane, but I must say..... T3 is one of the most satisfying corners if you nail it!

That said, of to Tsukuba, I wanted to get a first few laps in and get an impression of the NSX..... but this is how a should behave!
And what better than sliding it around Tsukuba!, what a joy!
Did needed some laps to learn the understeer trigger but I love this one, short, slidy and the NSX sounds absolutely epic through the headphones.

Optimals on the first stint were into the low 5's but that will need some work

I was on top of my leaderboard, even had big old @Ed_Night beneath me for a short while but then he sobered up from his Christmas party.......🤣🤣

.606 , I'll take it for now

Happy days folks!

 

[330_D]

I tried it for about ten minutes last night. It's amazing. Absolutely ecstatic as I could immediately throw down a low .25 at Goodwood last night after not playing for a few days, but man it's going to take me a while to not have an icky tummy. What a crazy thing!

 

[LogSwapper]

Just as expected with a slidey car..
Wheel+pedals:

Dualsense:

 

[Lomic]

Who put wooden tyres on this car ?

Took me some time to adapt my braking points compared to the Titan event we did there the other day with a Civic '93 (with good tyres).

Maybe gold is possible with some work, although WR will improve too so... we'll see.

The combo is not that enjoyable too me with those slidey tyres.

[Edit]Just watched @Tidgney's lap guide, seems I need to brake even earlier.

Doing the same thing here, just now firing up the PS to find out if Metalgear and Karma lost me 1mil I figured was in the bag.

Sing that line to Peter Frampton's "Do you Feel Like We Do."

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Happy to hold another alien badge after Goodwood is over. Absolutely no way of improving from where I was. Happy with another top 100!

Tsukuba doesn't excite me so much but this is a lovely drive. I don't think I'll push more than this but shall see. I managed a 1:03.178 on my own and then found another 4 tenths following @Metalgear9493 - so thanks for the lap replay!

Happy lappin' folks!

 

[Evilmuffin]

Owie....my left knee hurts.

Tsukuba is so demanding on the braking feet 🙈🙈

+1000 on wooden tyres, lol. As stated in the Titans con, expected way lower lap times on my first stint and really have to adapt for maximum rotation. Car feels very understeery under braking.

Good luck, gold seems very much in reach for you

Definitely will need to improve my lap to keep the shiny metal.

So you feel my pain .
These guys are so cruel 😂 .
What do we ask ?
Just not improve their time , not big deal.
And here is their answer:

 

[Chris30]

I found the Goodwood challenge to be quite hard, nothing worked for me no matter what method I used, AT,MT or shifting/cornering real good. I didn't even make it in the 1'30.000 club, my final time was 1'31.051. Tough one I must say. I'm sure some will agree with me on this, I wonder how many people did not earn a medal on this.

@Evilmuffin awesome ranking!! Merry Christmas, enjoy your holiday break!! Tsukuba isn't demanding to me. how long have you been a wheel user? I only used one on the ps3 for gt5 and it got to be too much braking on the pedals, gave me foot and leg cramps sometimes.

@Dragonwhisky well done, I sucked at Goodwood, I ran a total of 354 laps and still no kind of progress was made, how can I keep going and have faith/be positive when I'm not making any progression out on the road?

@smoothbore12 Once again another bronze added in my pocket, 64!

@Lomic
@iKon

Haven't you guys got maby inters or comforts on it ? 🤣, I think it drives quite nice? 🙈

@A_Higher_Place
Congrats on another top 100 placement buddy, you are on a role here!
My .695 ended up 71, somany fast people! 😱

@Chris30 you know by now what causes your lower times right?, it's like you got a fancy bmw in the garage but only use it for the ventilator, quit the buttons and start using the triggers R2 for gas and L2 for brake....

 

[Chris30]

I'm so glad we're getting another Tsukuba time challenge, a present from PD for Christmas. Thank you, I'll make every minute count this time. I mean it. And another road car that I feel comfortable using out there, the NSX.
