Time Trial Discussion

Just wanted to say “thank you!!” for the help and advice on Fuji, especially about being more aggressive and hitting the throttle earlier. I tightened up the 1st turn (going a bit wide of the dry line at apex helps w/grip) and 2nd turn (braking deeper, turning to apex later & throttle earlier) along w/ good rotation on sector 3 & hit gold this morning with a 1:50.509✌️👍

Good morning fellow enthusiasts.

That's the highest I've ever been. I'm pretty sure if I have another session like this morning I can get into the 37s.

Thanks dude. I'm off work for a bit so I've got time... Which normally I don't have enough of. Most weeks I get maybe 3-4 uninterrupted hours ever including my weekend Titans™ sessions. Lately I've got double so it helps figure things out. I like less grip. I struggled at Monza just to get a safe gold because grip. 😂🍻🍻

First 10 laps stint at Fuji with the WRX. Following @Tidgney's ghost. Which brake lights are not always visible, not very practical to learn braking points.

Not really pleased with the combo and my driving, but best lap is very close to gold already, and optimal is gold so it should be done in a few stints.

This one's taking a bit longer to come to me, but still a fun one. I definitely think I enjoy the TT's with cars that aren't super high power/grip.


Good enough for now, but I'll probably go back in later on.

Why bog basic Z4 and not the M version with proper tyres? It's a race track not your local back road.

I don't remember them ever making an M versionof the model of Z4 🤔

EDIT: Turns out there was a Z4 M Roadster in 2006 with the E46 engine 😯

This one looks like fun for me, need to get back to the Scooby first though.

Well it clearly works for you ! 🤣
And I am with you on the less grip, more fun and less frustrating 🤣
Altho there is a very frustrating Tracklimit at Sardegna 🙈🙈

Found a little time but still half a lap behind you, I got some work to do here 🙈🙏

Well guys I busted out the lovely Z4 and managed a decent time this time even though I dont like short variations of longer tracks, but nailed a silver so far so here goes!

Hi all

I’m unexpectedly home and jumped on to GT7 to try and stay awake until a reasonable time… well I regret that, what a mess this one is.

I thought Sport Hard was the most hateful tyre model

I was wrong

The track is awful too

And giving us a convertible and then getting to drive it round top down on a dull day on a dull track

Yeah I don’t like it at all

Mate you're a car guy, this should be ingrained on your brain 😉 . Yes between 2006 and 08 the made an M version with a proper engine. 👌

I'm actually considering buying one if I part with my current convertible.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Couldn't have picked a better location myself. The gearing is a bit odd but apart from that, the Z4 is a great car with a proper engine straight from the E46. I know it's not the big boy 3.2 found in the M3 but the M54/S54 family of engines are wonderful.

 

[2cam16]

Not a bad TT but the Subie one is more fun,IMO. I'll revisit next week.

I'm advising all track marshals to take cover behind the nearest windmill or run for the hills. This combo is testing my patience to learn to drive with less aids. I might start pushing buttons and turning knobs any second.

 

[Uday9479]

I want to play this TT so bad as I love Sardegna but tied up with F1's live testing in Bahrain (can't resist Hamilton in a Ferrari now).

Will only attempt this TT tomorrow but it should be fun. I'm just dreading the CS tyres.
