Time Trial Discussion

[GlockPants]

I'm going to have a compressed schedule for Fuji, so I skipped my usual first day no reference stint.

Though, my only reference was the WR lap at the moment.

Good indicators, but I think I can be a bit more brave on the throttle. My goal will be to be below 2% by Tuesday as to be very safe. I can see this TT being another with some last day spoilers and I won't be in a position to get a stint in the last half.

Today I picked up deserved 2 millions, glad that I finished in top 2000, but Doodle kicked me from under 2%...

Only not fully satisfied because I didn't managed to break into 1:04

Looking forward to Fuji, first 2 laps 1:37...

 

[Pesselles]

Like my friend @zaxs I've picked my Cr. 2.000.000 from Sardegna, like him I'm in the Top 2,000, and like him I've been pushed out of the 2% by the "infamous" Doodle

Before testing the new TT, I've picked a nice new livery for the GT-One

After some laps, I'm already in silver with a decent 1:34.1xx Depend on the aliens but a safe gold could be a low 1:33. I'll try to manage this.

The car is correct (speed, grip, brakes, downforce, etc) but this track...... but I'll never spend my holidays at Fuji.

Happy lapping, friends

Here's a guide to getting Gold at Fuji! Also shows a Pad lap version for those on a Pad!

Should be a safe gold. I’ll pile on with the dislike for sector 3.

 

[Interemptor]

Improved my time by ~1.4s but still far away from gold 😕 Sector 3 is a b**ch 😂

 

[Chris30]

I just put in my gt7 disc. I took a break for 2 and a half days. So now I'm ready to blow the Fuji TT to smithereens. I am so glad we're not dealing with slider road cars this time. The Dino one drove me crazy. I will rent the Toyota supercar instead of buying one. I don't want to waste money anymore.

So, I will need your help guys. I need my fourth gold!

That's a good news, you're getting closer from the yellow territory!! 👏
That's a not good news, you're faster than me by 0.2... Seriously?

 

[Interemptor]

I will do my best to increase this 🤪🤪

I don't know of any track (except for the Fishermans horror) that I dislike more than Fuji, I hate every single corner of it So the goal will just be gold, nothing more

 

[Gogga]

Lots of time to be made in that final sector. This car is a nice drive. That noise from the exhaust is music to my ears, but I don't see myself grinding this one out. Lovely car... meh track.

Happy Lapping everyone!

I personally have no problem with turns 2, 8 and 9

On layout descriptions like this, does the different coloring show the different sectors?

Yes. However, this layout pic is from 2009, and while the track has remained pretty much unchanged since, the sectors in GT differ. You enter S2 just before you hit turn 3.

 

[Chris30]

I'll try to do this on my own, but if I get real stuck somewhere on the track I'll ask for help. My mom and dad trained me to be independent and not rely on others. I have to be strong and do this on my own. The only hard thing about Fuji is mastering the last sector in a quick way.

Chris, not to sound rude, but asking for help is not a weakness - quite the opposite, in fact. But even then, you did ask others for help in your last post 🤔

Lol, yeah I feel like I want to get in the warm sauna.

Yeah not much into the hot rocks and feet thing so I guess I will wait for my SPA day on Saturday when I have a shot at race "C".

I would enjoy a Spa day as well.

The Francorchamps one I mean.

I don't know what it is about me and red colored cars in this game, I just can't do them. At least I can't seem to turn my best laps in them lol.

 

[Gomario JSP]

First meters in the GT One ...... it wants to kill you..... and it succeeds every time 🤣
Fuji wants to kill you too....... great combination 🙈🙈

That turbo lag is so difficult to have on point on exits, I got sweaty hands after a few laps..... and if it goes..... yeah... bye bye...

Def not fighting for a top spot here, it's just to hard to catch, that will cost me a DS5 for sure if I'll try this one week 🤣🤣

Save gold tho on the Nokia Setup 🤣

First session at Fuji with the GT-One, love the car, hate the track.

Followed @Tidgney 's ghost but not very usefull as it gets far from me very quickly after each reset.

Got best lap on lap 4 and it is a comfy silver (for now). Lot of margin in terms of progression... Not sure if gold will be a possibility still.

Need to pinpoint my braking spots too, a bit random at the moment, particularly at T1.

 

[Chris30]

Ok, I'm entering the Fuji TT now, start your engines!!

It's time to claim the gold.

Take a look at the ghost options. You can select it so that the ghost will reset in front of you when it gets to far away.

Good luck Chris, it's not as easy as you may think, it's a handfull that GT One 🤪

Smoothness and power delivery are the keywords here 😁

That's what I do, and as I said in my post :
"Followed @Tidgney 's ghost but not very usefull as it gets far from me very quickly after each reset" 😅

 

[AfraidRacer]

Fairly happy with this lap so far, 1:32.582.

I see that now. You need to find a slower ghost then. Maybe @Pesselles can help? 🤣
