Its a lot easier with a wheel, and more fun
The physics update a while ago made it A LOT easier so 99.9% is way out of date.So I haven't read through this whole thread.....has the sentiment changed since it was originally written or am I actually in the 0.1 percentile lol? Because I just Golded the circuit experience on my 2nd run. Did an overly careful practice run and did a 6:42. Went right to another and did a 6:35.2. Wasn't super clean but it was decent and what I would call slightly cautious just because I didn't want to foul up such a long lap. Oh and I'm on using the controller, I'd have to imagine if I was using a wheel I'd easily have been able to shave quite a few seconds off.
I still have to go and do all the individual sectors, but I don't imagine it should be a problem.
I'm A/S ranked but I have to think that 99.9% claim is not accurate.
Now it's 98.9%The physics update a while ago made it A LOT easier so 99.9% is way out of date.
Exactly.. 98.9% who can do it with a little practice.Now it's 98.9%
It's funny.. to outdo each other again and again with the other driver.For those with multiple accounts, how does it work for people who've done it twice?
Is there a way to see the completion rate for this challenge like we can with trophies and stuff?The physics update a while ago made it A LOT easier so 99.9% is way out of date.
On your personal page (menu on top left corner of screen, first option) there is a % of CE completion. It the % of sectors and circuits you have in bronze though, as far as I know you can't see how much you have golded.Is there a way to see the completion rate for this challenge like we can with trophies and stuff?
I was more speaking to seeing the general completion rates for all players like you can with trophies. It would be cool to see the percentages of people who have completed each challenge and at what levels.On your personal page (menu on top left corner of screen, first option) there is a % of CE completion.

Ah. I don't think you can see that anywhere.I was more speaking to seeing the general completion rates for all players like you can with trophies. It would be cool to see the percentages of people who have completed each challenge and at what levels.
How many thousands laps is "a little practice" ?Exactly.. 98.9% who can do it with a little practice.
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again with different resultsHow many thousands laps is "a little practice" ?
I have "a little practice" but it is not enough, no idea how many laps I've done, in GTS and GT7 (in CE and in other formats, like time trial) and I haven't been playing GT7 since may. May be I'll come back later. Well now that Sarah is on holyday (definitely I hope) it may demotivate me less to practice sectors.
Because it is so long and has so many corners, it takes hundreds of laps to get decent on the Ring. However, you can practice the sectors separately to reduce the time you need to learn it.I have "a little practice" but it is not enough, no idea how many laps I've done, in GTS and GT7 (in CE and in other formats, like time trial) and I haven't been playing GT7 since may.

This ain't easy for sure.
3.5s off gold at the moment after about 90min of trying the 1 lap attack in total. And I'm quite experienced around Nordschleife.
It's hard to give you any help if we don't know/see where your problems lie. Here some have divided their rounds, compared to these rounds, where do you see your problems in detail. If possible which section and what exactly do you feel there.Because of Race C this week I decided to buckle down and do the CE for Nurburgring. I golded all the sectors yesterday afternoon, but the one lap is not going so well. My first attempt was, surprisingly, only a couple of seconds off of silver. I have run it all evening and actually got slower with each new completed lap?! I managed to shave off those couple of seconds and got the silver, but I have no idea how I'm going to trim off 8 more seconds for the gold.
Any help on this wold be much appreciated.

I was in the same boat not so long ago, 3.5s off gold and I had no idea how anything else could be squeezed out. I went on YT and watched this video and noticed that he carries so much more speed through the corners than me also only dropping to 3rd gear (instead of 2nd like I was doing).Because of Race C this week I decided to buckle down and do the CE for Nurburgring.

Gold every sector few times, idealy you should be able to gold each of it reguraly.Because of Race C this week I decided to buckle down and do the CE for Nurburgring.

Thank you so much for this! I’ll give it a shot.The basic tip basically came from @1gorFraga , he pushed the brake balance back a lot ( +4 / +5 ) , which alone works wonders with the M6.
We’ll, I think that may be my problem. I’ve only ever completed a few laps of it, so that’s my biggest hurdle. Honestly, when I began I didn’t think there was any way I would be able to remember each sector, but already after two days it’s becoming more natural. Im starting to feel the flow of the circuit, which is going to help a lot!How much experience do you have on the Ring? It takes quite a lot of laps to get the hang of this track.

Basically, it is all about not losing too much speed in corners. You need to learn good racing line and go as fast as possible. Also switching off traction control, while difficult at first, might help you in the long run.
Also, following his advice I set braking balance to 3 to the rear and it helped turn the car easier after hard braking.
Overall, it took me a good few hours to get gold, even though I test all of my cars on Nordschleife and done many, many laps on it previously. You just need to know the track very well and that takes time.
Here is the video I watched
One more thing is that I found the ghost car to be a distraction. You can enable / disable it on the fly with the up arrow key on your d-pad. Also, I prefer to race my own ghost instead of chasing the demo ghost. You can switch between them in the ghost settings in menu.Thank you so much for this! I’ll give it a shot.

Thank you for these hints! Im definitely struggling with keeping the speed up through corners. I quit using traction control a month ago so that’s not holding me back here, but I think the brake balance is a good place to start.
I’ll admit, I am using the braking zones aid for this CE because they’re all over the place. I still haven’t gotten them down yet so visual reminders help. I need all the help o can get because there’s nothing more depressing than seeing the ghost car disappear over the horizon and realizing I’m only in sector 3!!!
Thank you everyone. I think it’s pretty clear that I just need some more laps on this before I start to worry too much.
A lot of people don’t like the ghost, but I find it a good measure of how I’m doing. I gained half a second this morning, and now I’m able to keep the ghost in view until around sector 6, which means I’m making much much better time than I was at the start of the day.One more thing is that I found the ghost car to be a distraction.

There is nothing like practice though. I have done a few CE already and none was as difficult as this one so far. It is tough, but also very rewarding once you see progress. If you determined and keep going it should get easier with time to find extra 0.1-0.2 here and there. Good luck!
