I dont think my gold in Suzuka at 1:36:953 will hold...

Same here. On vacation now and no chance to go at it again.

On the one hand all the aliens are at it and had plenty of practice at this combo for multiple events recently. On the other hand they are all massively bunched up in the 34.3 to 34.5 range. Therefore I'm a tiny bit hopeful that improvements will be tiny if any. We will see.

Started getting back into gt7, gave up ea wrc, quite a fun and intricate combination this tt.

There is still hope for us! If we get through the weekend our chances will improve greatly. Let's keep the 👽 distracted with some quantum stuff

I know this one is going to be tight at the top man. When to trail and when to coast is so knife edge and so important.

 

[Metalgear9493]

Improved to a 1'14.478 with same settings (default ABS, 720 degree mode, 10/10 feedback) but this time I used controller sensitivity of 7 instead of -2.

Did my lap in like 3 goes, or 4 miles worth of driving. So fast that my faulty modem wasn't ready for it so the ghost didn't upload😭.

Had to manually upload it to my profile incase anyone wants to look.

 

[imChris]

Well, I tried my best. Good luck to those chasing the top times 👏

Made a quick livery for both the SF23 and the Evo III and set out to improve upon my controller times switching to wheel. Beat both times and while the Eiger lap isn't anything to brag home about, I'm pretty stoked about the lap @ Suzuka as getting into gold asked for an improvement of around a full second. Glad I kept pushing for a couple more laps after frustratingly not getting sub 37.

Definitely more flow and easier braking on wheel, but exit of Degener 2 kills me every other time. Throttle control here isn't easy.

Spoiler: Liveries

Mission 1:14...

...failed 🤮🤪😂😂😂

But hey P69 😏😂😂 and in front of the father of all pad aliens Samurai_405. 😁 But he is probably not putting to much effort into the time trials i think.

Alright, mission 1:14...

done. 😌
Lost some time at the final turn, so a .8 should be possible.

Great lap times and again beautiful "quick liveries"! Have a nice weekend!

I am trying to figure out where I am losing most of the time on Eiger Nordwand TT, hoping to improve that sector/corner and gain one two tenth, so I made video comparison, upper part P1 lap, lower part mine. I used chase cam in this video comparison hoping that I will see lines I am taking better. Anyhow, it shows I am losing equally 0.2 per sector. If you ninjas who are on 1:15.1** or lower see where I can gain a tenth or two, give your best advice.

Edit* last sector speed of video is 0.5

Very difficult to see anything wrong with your lap. What are your optimals like? is it just a question of stringing the correct set of sectors together? Not sure if it translates to the controller, but I am definitely a little bit quicker with ABS weak.

Managed to break the 1:15 barrier.

Very difficult to see for me in this view, I'll take a serious look this evening and upload my lap ( altho I'm kind of kicked down the board with all the 14.9 ninjas......looking at your @half_sourly 🤣, nice!

Hi,

I have been lurking for a week or two. Work. Farm. Poorly wife to name but three.

A couple of quick sessions at Eiger Nordwand has delivered a, just about, satisfactory 1:15:9xx. That was good enough for a top 1000 time yesterday. Today it's around top 2000! Blimey!

Slightly off topic...

I have noticed that it is almost impossible to register a decent time if the wifey person is using the internet for anything. This, I assume is due to lag created by her "presence" on the broadband. So - Is it possible to have 2 ISP's on one telephone line please?
I may have to purchase another broadband contract if it is. Or just ban her from the internet when I am using GT7. 😬


Even more off topic...

A man walks into the library and asks the librarian...

"Excuse me miss. Do you have the book on Pavlov's dog and Schrodinger's cat please?"

She replies...

"Hmmm. It rings a bell but I am not sure where it is!"

Best regards to all here.


Ian.

No, that's fundamentally impossible. All of it.

You might be affected in online races if someone else in your house is using a lot of bandwidth - but then GT7 doesn't exactly require much of that. If you've got... say 75Mbps of bandwidth and someone is streaming 4K video, you're going to have a bad time (or everyone else is, at least in Lobbies and Daily Races). It does not affect solo play at all.

Quick go this morning and found 4 hundredths so still in the 15.4s. Optimal is a 15.3 flat… no idea where any more time than that would come from

 

[Metalgear9493]

Clearly safe ! Love Eiger, I spent so much time on it with Gran Turismo HD ...

Geez that game was released almost 2 decades ago, I loved it too!

I wanted to take a group picture with you, me and @Ed_Night , but he already drove off into the sunset (#35)

Hey @330_D, @Gomario JSP, all the cool kids are hanging out in the 1:14 club, wanna come join us? 🤪

@Barareklam for me times started to come down when I stopped yanking the car so much through the hairpins and used a calmer, more controlled approach. Felt slower, but was actually faster. And yeah, ABS weak for me as well.

This is the first video I've watched of a lap and I don't even understand. I shift at completely different points. I'm going to use first more than once and see if it helps next time I boot up. 😂🍻

Your lap looks great to me but I'm banging my head on the wall for a .14 and you are so close to my time already. 🍻🍻

I don't see a single thing wrong you are doing but catching your optimal in one lap. This one is really hard to squeeze.

Tomorrow morning ill try again, I'll try to join your evil cool kids club 🤣

Shifting points may be key to this one, idk, I can't imagine finding let's say more than a tenth cause my lap felt kind of good 😵‍💫🤣

@Barareklam here is my lap, made 2 views after each other maby that will help?only thing I can see is I'm exiting the "dipper" in third and you are in second, if you nail that you can get on the throttle very soon, that will definitely get you some time imo! But seems like a solid lap mate,

Two decades, saw a lot of fast people come and go, but D. Holland was always to find on top of the leaderboards. 😁💪

Crazy how different our laps and how close our times are.

That is indeed crazy!, your lap seems way more relaxed than mine..... I want that too 🤣🤣

This one is really tricky at the sharp end and usually I'm good at finding time on these tires.

Sorry for the video bomb but I recorded some gameplay from my last unfruitful session and had this last sector that I thought was pretty insane. Chasing the #1 ghost. I'm in his trunk for a good bit... At .3 offset
