Fun little combo that. The behemoth levels of power understeer takes some getting used to though.

 

[Dan_Tes]

Probably my last go at Willow Springs as I’m off again.. fun combo, just the right level of grip and the 4C feels fantastic around here!

I wanted a sub 1:17.0 but no time sadly 😤. See y’all next week!

After 100(.5)km... by the last few laps I was shaving off a few hundthredths a lap, there's still a couple of tenths there as well for when I have a little more time when I'm back from holiday. My optimal is a 1.48.205 if I can nail it....

The hardest part was by far the steady braking into the first hairpin, took me about 50km or so (keeping in mind restarts!) before I could really hit that consistently.

Stainless steel rat?

Only 1.5% of players made it into gold for the Lake Louise TT. It feels really good to have gotten it myself and with only about an hour and a half worth of effort. Huge thanks to Tidgney and others for commenting about what worked. I only purchased GT7 a month ago so it feels great to be relatively competitive after such a long break.

A literary one for a change. Couldn't bring myself to do a BTTF pun or something like "Deep Lore".

Congrats!!! I’m similar to you - been playing a little bit longer, since Dec 2024, and these time trials (and GTplanet community) are a blast. Got bumped out of Gold by Camit in the final days but Im still amazed at how much technique I’ve picked up from the people here… ya’ll doing the Lord’s work I tell ya 😋

Put in a decent 1st session at Deep Forest today, with a 1:49.866…. Would’ve never been possible without practice, guidance and friendly discourse over in these parts 😊

Thursday Nokia-time 🤣🤣

First meters in the Delorean, fun little challenge! and quite a balanced car, sure its boaty....sure it has brakes from an old fiat Panda but it's yeetable! 🤣🤣

I like this one!

 

[bliprunner]

Decided to try and make the top 10 tonight while it was still possible and just about made it (for a few minutes at least).

A nice combo for me, both straights are long enough to take a sip of beer, no filthy dirt or snow, just good clean fun...

 

[LANDO]

How can I love Deep Forest and really dislike the reverse.

But it was an easy car to drive. Golded in 20 min. 1:49.5

Second stint at Big Willow, with the 4c. Failed close to gold as first time. Last turn and left turn after the hill still mysteries.

Small improvement on best lap, but optimal a bit worse.

Spoiler

Tried DF with the DeLorean too, need to stop driving like a moron, gold may be possible, if I can figure how to take last turn decently.

The last turn is a killer because of the lack of grip where it's been repaved. If you can get the front right tyre up onto the kerb, use that for all the grip you can! You got this mon petit Lommy!

When I do that my car goes on two wheels and if I don't want to end up in the sand, I have to seriously lift.

 

[zjn]

Quite a decent start, lot still to polish, particularly in the first left hander and in the last turn

 

[manou]

Well, when it isn't snowing, I'm better by far ^_^ 😀

 

[jrbabbitt]

So ninjas.. after a lot of testing rental vs not rental we realized following... Rims do impact times.

Now listen to this....

If there are rims that make you slower, does not that mean that there must be

RIMS THAT MAKE YOU FASTER




I will just leave it here ... 😮

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial: Stainless Steel Rat​

A new Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial is now available, bringing a couple of blasts from the past together for a slippery road car challenge...

Oh my, the DeLorean looks fabulous in purple chrome...

 

[NAXEHT]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

 

[2cam16]

Interesting car,that DeLorean. I've only driven it once before and it was on stock tires. The required tires make it a decent car.

A friend gifted me this years ago to make fun of my Prelude:

Which will now be my lucky charm for this DeLorean TT.

Who's laughing now?? 😁

 

[TheNormsk]

First session with the DeLorean at Deep Forest. Somewhat disappointed that I didn’t burst into a ball of flames and disappear when I hit 88 mph but there you go. How many people have told that joke today? 🤣

Chasing @bliprunner ghost. Killer lap by the way, congrats on your 12th global.

 

[ZevZoq]

Managed to squeeze in some wheel time tonight unexpectedly and glad I did! I'm pretty sure there's a couple more tenths in there for me but I think this at least should do for gold...

 

[KAlex122]

Tried DF with the DeLorean too, need to stop driving like a moron, gold may be possible, if I can figure how to take last turn decently.

What i tried yesterday was breaking late, going wide and the turn sharply to get on the throttle early to have e decent straight-line speed.

Kind of a V-Shape. Kind of worked for me.

Improvement was made on session #2.

Ohhhh sorry, confused, thought you were talking about the new TT - my apologies!

 

[ScottPuss20]

I'll need more than 23 minutes to get the gold time here. I don't do well on reverse layouts.

 

[Lomic]

Ohhhh sorry, confused, thought you were talking about the new TT - my apologies!

oh ok ! that's for Deep Forest, ok (I talked about both TTs in my post, and both have a last turn that is difficult to understand for me)

 

[manou]

Fun fact : the dolorean uses a V6 PRV (for Peugeot Renault Volvo). That was possible because this engine was already tested for the US (sold in Peugeot 604 there).

 

[Gomario JSP]

Morning folks, forest morning!

Had a sleightly better run but not into the 47's yet, that's the goal here i think, but that's going to take some time 😂
The first hairpin is such a weird one because exitspeed is mega important there, if you have to lift for some understeer you'll be 2 tenths of on the sector time.., and the right hander after the tunnel gives me frustration 😂😂

But not to shabby for a start!

For the last dessert terror turn you can get away with huge amount of coasting, just lift off at the 150 sign on the left, if you are somewhere in the middel of the track you have a nice flow through it, it's a weird corner and you can stay way more on the inside for a longer time than you would expect 😁

Left is the 150 board, next frame i'm lifting of but then the sign is gone 😂

 

[Thorson1987]

Pretty sure I can shave another .250s off that.

The last corner messes with me a bit.
