Been a while..again.. since I've had the time, new job with a one-way distance of roughly 45km to it, and the craving (don't know if that's the right word) for GT7 and read here in the forum. So first of all.. Happy belated Xmas to all of you šš

Took a look at the time trials today and thought I should give it a go after 2 months (with one day in that span for a set of weeklies). Really like the Junior Red Bull but not a fan of that Catalunya layout so I tried the NSX. Took a couple of laps to even get into silver. Guess I'm a bit rusty.
Had a km to go for the daily milage and got a 4* Ticket for my efforts which gave me the last invite I needed. So pretty good day I would say š

Hi friendos!!
Well Iām very fresh after the pub last nightā¦
Target achieved at Catalunya but not without strife, track limits and those ignorant sausage kerbs and their inconsistent bounce costing me many many laps.. Iām pretty sure to be in the top 10 you just have to get lucky through those kerbs and stay on the power; either that or KDB and others just have an intimate knowledge of them and millimetric precisionā¦
Sadly I donāt have either of those things so blind luck it is š Iām still losing 2-3 tenths of a second through there as the rest of the lap is on WR pace but we are still happy with that!

Wasn't very motivated to get back to Tsukuba, but my morning session was some kind of encouraging.
No idea why (maybe i was sleeping on a roadmap of Stelvio), but i felt comfortable with the hairpins and did 6 or 7 laps in the .3's knowing that there is still room for improvement.
My second session of the day, was back to normal... no clue how i was running .3's in the morning. š¤£š¤£
But out of nowhere got my best run until S2...
Turn 1 wasn't very good and i didn't nail the final corner, so i can see another 0.1s. But there is no chance for a top spot, so no need to torture myself this time. š

Found another 1.5 tenths! Hopefully this will hold for the top 100 now. Opt is another tenth or so. Still didn't nail that final chicane...

Thatās enough chicane torture for this time. Not pursuing this any further.
Thanks for the ghost, good sir. A handful trying to keep up...Hi friendos!!

Thanks for the info. I use X for downshifts and Square for upshifts so the other way around, O X is one of the new episodes of Squid Game
. I tried maximum sensitivity of 10 for controller on this and seemed better, do you know what he uses? Impressive lap he managed. Not really done a time trial for a while on GT7 so was happy my first lap was good enough to be into the 1:25's at least and comfortably Gold. Was a relief to see that time as I was expecting to be way off initially given how bad the first few attempts at starting the lap were. Kind of cheated though as I watched your lap beforehand to learn where the limit was. By the way I noticed you weren't on full throttle temporarily before starting the lap, were you aware of that?I ended up driving a bit extra to get the daily marathon reward, kept on bottling the final chicane on some laps to get into the 1:24's, only managed to do it reasonably good on rubbish splits which ended up being my fastest lap and called it quits as it got me in the top 800. I think I could have got probably just into the top 100 but beyond that, would probably really have to spend a lot of time to get anywhere near the top pad players as it is quite easy to lose a lot of lap time in just a single corner. Interesting watching L-Shooter's lap, might try late downshift technique and see how that goes next time I attempt a time trial.
Great to see you are very competitive still with your technique, quite unique and kind of Senna-esque. Quite fitting with the new NSX time trial. Amazed you still remember me as you must have loads of people following you since, great times back then mate. I ended up playing mobile games as easier to be on the limit but a lot of them have kind of ended so have stopped playing. Some of the prizes were amazing though, would be good if GT offer more opportunities one day than really just game credits for time trials like even something like a studio tour would be incredible!
I might get a wheel again once Logitech release a smaller direct drive wheel, I have tried the DD Pro and T-GT and T-GT II but feedback from the standard controller feels better to me so just stick to that as it's simpler. Only disadvantages are hairpins especially in faster cars and the really fast cars, more flowing circuits it is easy to be more competitive. Might try and go for a world record one day on GT but it's going to be difficult with so many fast players, hopefully you manage some on GT7. I think I only managed some records on the Beta of GT Sport but not one on a main title. Have managed on other racing games though. I hope they improve physics a lot for the next title as I think previous games like GT5P and GT5, it was easier to feel the limit on traction. One of the reasons why I think GT Sophy is so fast is due to the room to improve on multiple throttle inputs as the physics are kind of sketchy on power giving an uneasy feeling, at least for me. Not sure how others find it?

Had a run in the NSX this morning, picked up a tenth but not sure how - itās all a mystery as to how to get this thing to rotate with any sort of consistency
