Won't even bother testing. Only way to make a worse combo for me would have been to add rain on top.
I love proper race cars with high downforce but honestly these are too fast for me... Will do this instead of the Z4. Anyway have some fun!
This will not be a gold for me.... I am good enough with F1-type, high downforce cars.
Will be quite the challenge....
Even though I love F1 & most of the tracks they race at, Suzuka isn't one of my favorites. This is a very technical track + handling a fast beast like this will take umpteen amounts of patience & hours. I'm not a fan of the traditional circuits as well. Would've loved any layout of St. Croix, Blue Moon Bay, Dragon Trail etc. over this track.

I'll stick to Sardegna because that track has so much feel & flow to it. The Z4 even though at times twitchy, is a pleasure to drive there.
Echo all these sentiments. High down force and me are not friends. I will still attempt it though.

Happy Hunting Folks :cheers:

The results for TT130 at Fuji International Speedway (Short) in the Subaru WRX Gr.4 are over here. I have updated the opening post with the index of all TTs and the second post with the community scoreboards.

Here are some interim statistics for TT131 at Sardegna - Road Track - B in the BMW Z4 3.0i '03.

Because the 2025 Super Formula season starts on Sunday, at Suzuka.
 
It seems I am the opposite to most on this board. I struggle with low grip road cars, but high downforce is my jam.

I have done 5 laps on the new TT for a 1:36.9xx I was sloppy at Degner 2, the hairpin, Spoon and Casio. Low 36, high 35 should be possible.

Trust the downforce and don’t brake too much. The SF car is a dream to drive.

I am actually curious how it would be after latest update. I remember, maybe a year ago we had similar TT, suzuka, maybe Formula car, or similar,very fast. You shared your feedback how car don't want to turn and I do remember I didn't had similar problems, with motion control it was just turning nicely and I fished that TT in front of you. So now after update, I think my observation after F3500 on Monza, it don't turn in on motion control but what I read, controller stick turn in nicely, on that TT.
I am out of country and can't try new Suzuka, but I am just curious how it is on controller vs motion control now after update. Maybe enough people share so we can get some image of how it is.
 
My goal with the new one is anything sub-4.00%. Once that's accomplished I'm happy and it will just be about seeing how much I can whittle it down from there. I very much doubt I'll cross the 3.00% line. So far, my initial morning marathon controller run has me in a mediocre bronze. Generally I find high DF stuff much more difficult on the controller than the wheel...

I can't say how it drives on motion control but on sticks it drives how SF cars always have driven. Lots of grip, slow to turn in, lots of understeer.
 
This now TT is not exactly my cup of tea. That car I cannot drive fast even on straights I guess, and Suzuka is not a circuit for childs. Will give it a try just to get some money.
Moreover I'd like to go back to Sardegna. I did about 20 laps on Saturday, achieving something around 3.5%. I took another 20 laps on Sun and was not even able to replicate the time.
I'd like to have another try over the week end to understand is Saturday I was over my limit, or Sunday I was not spot on
 
Since the Suzuka TT disappointed me, went back to Sardegna. Today I wasn't in the positive feel like yesterday. I did manage to come within one tenth of my personal best of 1:39:39 with a 1:39:124. I was able to lower my optimal best to a 1:38:729 though.

Since I love this TT so much & have no choice as well due to the Suzuka TT, I played this TT in 2 phases of 1 hour each. Because of the flowing nature of this track, even if the lap would get invalidated, it didn't matter as driving a good car around a good track is a clear motive to keep trying & I shall do so tomorrow.

Yes, maby it's a bit better now a days compared to lets say the Mclaren VGT we had at Suzuka, but still i hate the way the Formula's handle in GT7, Monza was a real prick for me too, i will not say i'm bad at it, could be far worse, but the road to a descent time is just frustrating for me 😂 😂 .... i just like slidy roadcars..... ( except for the Z4 so it seems timewise...) 😂😂

So i will await what everybody yells before i will even consider to take part, i hope it works for you mate!
 
And basically a copy of this week's daily A and an upcoming World Series event in two days.

Come on, man... This was incredibly uninspired.
I can see why it can feel this way, but myself in particular I'm so excited. I'd been dabbling in the Daily A's Qualifying since earlier this week to clock times in these cars 'round Suzuka, so I'm happy to be able to try with y'all for another two weeks in this TT.

I'm partial to laps in proper race cars on proper tires and quality circuits. I'm gonna be locked in for this TT like I hadn't been for prior ones. LFG 😎

From earlier today. I was hoping to go under 1:36 but I don't think it's possible. This is probably the maximum for me
This is an impressive lap time! Congrats to this achievement! Honestly I cannot comprehend how that no.1 time happened. Usually I am maybe 2% slower than you so there is hope that my best lap might be enough for silver. Maybe...
