1:23.714 on controller. Could go lower if I wanted to but this car is a bit of a pain to handle for my likes.

Likewise 😂😂😂
Amazing time amigo that hard work paid off though
Largely unsatisfying session for me, I quickly ran out of wine and crackpot theories which no doubt hindered… a new PB set but two laps out of about a million where I thought I was home and dry and then inexplicably lost it coming out of the final part of the Parabolica… they were my sub 1:23.6 chances and I blew them both… doh! It be like that some days.
One last chance before I go away tomorrow, I shouldn’t really waste any time on this one but… I probably will. I’m infected with the time trial disease sadly!!

I've just about had enough of this ****. Putting a good lap together takes a lot of energy and I can't take it anymore. The Testarossa simply isn't built for this sort of driving.

Morning folks,
While everybody is trying to tame the F3500-A, wich I already gave up on after the safe gold , I had one last go on Brands.... just to see if I could figure out what the heck they did to it and if see if I could benefit from it, just after thr update dropped I already had a go and went from 37.118 to a 37.0 something so there was progression but so hard to actually have good solid laps..
This morning it took me ages to get a descent S1 ...midsection went ok-ish but the real bugger was the sand/gras on the very last turn..... throttle wobble or grabbing sand...
Finally had a more descent lap, but S1 was kind of bad, and again Hawthorn was FAR from ideal...but with a better last sector I finally broke into the 36's and should be enough for an extra top 100 🤪🥳
Maby it was the change to Testa red 🤣
Very much done with this 2 weeks now....

so, your thought on update now after many laps ? Controller? Physics ? you did improved, which many claim is impossible, so what is your opinion today?

What wheel do you have, some have an internal vibration system which engages especially when understeering, I turned it off! In the settings on the steering wheel the SHO is displayed if there is one.
And i advise you to show the INT almost at the max I have 17 to reduce the vibrations.
*Force Feedback Interpolation (INT) (default = 6)
Force Feedback Interpolation “INT” filters and smoothens the incoming rough game FFB signal and increases the refresh rate. For example, some games use a 60Hz FFB signal, which can feel very rough and noisy, but this can be fixed with the Force Feedback Interpolation. By increasing the value, you reduce the rough feeling and increase the smoothness of the signal. You can set the value to OFF, meaning that you will get unfiltered raw force feedback signal. To enable the interpolation, the value must be set from 1 to 20.

I did quite a few laps post update now and I think the biggest difference lies in braking, before you could just more slam the brakes and trailbrake your way in, that seems far more difficult, releasing brake and rotate at the same time doesn't work that effective on the pad but.....it does rotate better when braking harder for a while ( and earlier ) and fully let of the brakes and coast for a moment.
So after this session ( but only did the Testarossa) I'm kind of positive, yes I think it's more difficult but it is more predictable in a way.... plus instead of what a lot claim here, I think it's more stable on exits 😁
But right after the update I took a stock Huracan out on Interlagos and that was a very unpleasant experience.... so much understeer what resulted in rattling duelsense....
No feeling when understeer would occure and if it does.... it's to late..
But that kind if a different experience of what i had with the Testarossa this morning, felt better and got used to it, so maby ill have another go at Interlagos to see if it has changed, maby I was to quick with the verdict.

Been a while since a do a TT lap, been pretty absent from the game lately, but tried my hand at the Ferrari @ Brands last night.
Quite liked this, got a safe gold on lap 7 and called it a day. Was too tired to try the F3500 @ Monza 😅
Here's the lap in POV (VR) and Replay camera.

Hello my TT friends, a quick update. Me and my mom got back from the ER Monday night around 6pm. We settled in and ate plenty of food the past 20-24 hours, so I didn't even get online much. I miss the ps5 and I dreamed about racing in the F3500 car in Madrid, Spain.
@Guffaluff I could be permanently absent from the time trials. It depends on if I can get another ps5 before gt7 dies. Hopefully that won't happen until at least 2-3 more years because there are 500 cars and 60-70 track layouts, so the probability ratio is high. There could be a possible 35,000 TT's using different car/track combos.
Forgot to say that the chemotherapy caused my mom to lose most of her hair, she's almost bald. Was a shock to me because she's always had her hair most of her lifetime. I see you all have been having somewhat fun with this new special Monza TT, but some may not be thrilled with the car effects/track.

I am starting to hit a wall in my transition to a wheel, I have the F3500 at 3.5% at both Monza and Barcelona but cannot coax more time from it. As I improve from 7,6,5,4% to more competitive times, other than moving to MT (I use MT at Monza) I think where I am struggling is braking consistency and feel. I have the Fanatec load cell and TBH the lack of travel is starting to bother me, it is very stiff even with the elastomer in place and I cannot intuitively feel where I am at in terms of brake force very well. More practice needed!
