Hello there
The GT-R '24 is car that represents a love and hate situation for me. When it first came out I simply hated it while driving it at the online time trial challenge at Nurburgring Short GP layout. The car was a mess. A huge one. No breaks, too much side leaning, too much slide action and to add salt in the wound I just can't stand the Nurb GP layout. The 1st sector is pain.
However, as the time passed by and I kept trying to reach the 3% golden zone, I started to understand the car. Driving this car requires some patience, you gotta be aware that overdriving brings you no reward but only frustation. That lap time challenge taught me the values of the slow in fast out concept and got me a feeling of when a car grips and then you are good to hit the gas and go.
After that I made some small tweaks in the suspension and since then I love it. This particular car I used in this COTW challenge is the very same I bought when the GT-R '24 came to the game and this is a rare thing for me, keeping the same copy for so long. For the COTW challenge I set the suspension back to default and did the same with the GT auto aero parts though.
The challenge itself... I hate Fuji's 3rd sector. Opening up those turns is a forever mystery for me. I know I lost my 49's there. But I happly settle for the 1:50:573 because the 30 minutes I spent driving the Godzilla there were quality time.
The lap:
I tried something different and crammed all three replays into one upload. (Chase, onboard and replay) Replay shared in my GT7 page (#cotw #gtplanet)
Cheers!
Edit: typos and grammar corrected. 😅
