Time Trial Discussion

[NevilleNobody]

1. No assists
2. No TC (most of the time)

At your level I would turn on TC for this event. I run TC2 and weak steer correction, I know ultimately no TC is faster but I hate walking on egg shells. This explains why you are so reluctant to get on the throttle exiting Degner 2. Now don't abuse TC, still try to be smooth but you're very tentative. I reakon 5 laps with TC2 you get a sub 38 because AT is tough without TC, MT users are spamming gears to get good rotation and exits, AT has you in 1st exiting the hairpin which is pain without TC.

Not scheduled session tonight. I'm glad i had it, as I secured the gold in Sardegna.
I think steer a bit more did the job. This car seems understeery under brakes, but no more on gentle acceleration

What I also realize is that this place has many intelligent, mature and skilled people. This is not very common.

The  mature part is debatable; imagine what we sound like during our TT attempts...🤬

@Lightpilgrim good to see you here!

Welcome to GT Planet's area 51! 👽

See you at the leaderboards my friend.

 

[Lightpilgrim]

Thank you! Like I said, I am here to stay. And I am not bothered that you are 27 sec faster per lap:-) I am sure sometime ago you were where I am now:-)

I honestly couldn't resist, I have a benneton splatter colour livery on the SF car and in VR it's quite a sensation (other VR users in formula cars do you find yourself leaning out of the play area cage? Just me? 🤣)

I won't gold it, but silver is fine for this one.

Yes. No. Silly thing. Leaning like I'm riding my bike or, attempting to counter g-forces that ain't there, when I ran this combo in the GTWS Saturday. Very distracting. Will see how I get on when I run my .5 - 1hr tomorrow.

1st proper session tonight at Suzuka and pleasantly surprised to be mere tenths off Gold, I expected a lot worse, although that Gold time will no doubt drop. I'll hopefully get another chance to have a go at the weekend

It has been a while since I could see the top of my friends list... 🔭

It's utterly ridiculous that I'm at the top of your friends list - I'm confused and honored in equal measure

Thank you very much for saying this. I do not know of you, guys, are aware that GT7 and this community is inseparable. I always want to be grateful to many of you and want to highlight specific names, but am always afraid that I will miss someone.

I am 100% certain that it would be virtually impossible to me to progress and enjoy this game as much as I do if not the mature, grounded and very specific replies from you.

You listen to advice and care very much to improve within your skillset... And you add difficulty as you progress. You have done your part for sure. This place will make an alien out of most anyone willing to put the work in. Cheers, dude.

Welcome to

(I fit into the "mature", by the way )

Z4 felt pretty nice (albeit a bit too slow for my personal taste) on CS through this Sardegna combo... EXCEPT for sector three which is so goddamn awful it's seriously getting on my nerves, man. Even more frustrating because there is actually quite a nice flow and rhythm through S1 and 2 but then it all crumbles apart and dies.

I'm waaaaaaay past overtime given how much time I think I can offer a TT. That while I'm trying to lower time spent in general.

 

[VSpec_R]

Controller player here. Didn’t think I could get into the high 35’s but I do like Suzuka. Pretty happy with this!

I often watch your shared laps but usually I have no clou what's happening at the upper half of my friends board... Too many too fast people!

Yes. It’s quite annoying actually. I turn my head in to counter the steering forces ( I know I don’t have to but it’s force of nature🤪) and when you’re in the middle of a tight turn and the screen goes black and you see the cage, it’s not cool.

Yes, I guess our head is technically out the cockpit, but couldn’t they give us some leeway with formula cars?

Time trial vs REal Life:

 

[DDK-Racing]

This is more like it! Closing in on 2%, top 2000 🤩
Still... got a new optimal of 38.8xx so not out of the woods yet 🤷‍♂️

 

[LSFDRX]

Man, the SF at Suzuka is pretty intense! It's a car I enjoy driving a lot, and it's got a TON of grip with the RS tire, but it takes a lot of commitment to an aggressive line to maximize mph on corner exits.

Catching the flow of sector one is still pretty hit or miss for me, and keeping momentum through degner and spoon proves to be pretty tough too. One little misstep and a lap is out the window!

At a 1:36.658 for now, and can lap pretty consistent 36s, but time is getting harder to come by. I thougt that would get me a little higher than I sit on the leaderboards, but it seems like about 2000 people are more comfortable in the SF than I am! Gonna take some more work to get where I want.

GTP leaderboard is continually getting better and faster! It's crazy to see how many people here have improved. My normal place on the leaderboards keeps slipping, but I just don't have time to practice... sooo you're all more than welcome to slow it down a bit. 😂

Keep up the good work GTPeeps!

 

[Gomario JSP]

Very frustrating morning session with the Z4 I think the last one, optimals were lower than last session but couldn't stick it.
Eventually the fastest was a .957 🤨🤣🤣

Curious for tomorrow but it will probably be a GR2 at Interlagos or something 🤔

Please don't say that! I'm hoping 205 at eiger or somewhere not crazy fast stuff!!!

 

[Gomario JSP]

I hope so too 😁😁🤣🤣

 

[330_D]

I actually can't stand Eiger. It's the only CE I haven't golded and I just don't ever feel any flow there.

So I disagree. But I'm down for slow cars on crap tires for sure. 🍻😂

 

[Gorefast]

Please don't say that! I'm hoping 205 at eiger or somewhere not crazy fast stuff!!!

Both sound nice but keep 'em until next week so I can focus on a sub-37 lap time at Suzuka for more days... 😂

 

[Childe Roland]

Please don't say that! I'm hoping 205 at eiger or somewhere not crazy fast stuff!!!

The short layout of Grand Valley would also be an excelent spot for the 205.
Sadly, I dont think we will have the 205 because they picked the Z4 from the last update and they wont make two TTs in a row with 2 cars recently arrived.

I reckon the 205 will arrive to TT eventually, but not tomorrow.

yes, but world rank #91 💪

 

[NAXEHT]

+0,003 off, at minimum. Though there's clearly way more than that on the table.

S1 and 2 I can keep up really quite good, just hope I can lotto myself through S3 tonight. A few more attempts...

 

[Stormbreaker]

Oh boy for me (pad player) that was hard 😅 maybe i'll do another session tomorrow 🏁
