GT7 Online Time Trial/Lap Time Challenge Discussion

Cammit right now :

Nice improvement this morning, I am in silver now. Not sure I'll be able to reach gold, especially if aliens won't calm down.

 

[Famine]

This aged poorly.

We’d say that the current top time might be around for a while, but not to discount the fact that a rally specialist might pop along and carve a good chunk out of it. Figure on 1:24s by the end of the two weeks, requiring something in the order of a 1:27.1 to net gold — but we’ll re-assess this one next week.

smug but increasingly concerned face

Camit is going to crush a lot of dreams 😂
Seriously quick this dude, but it's realy frustrating we can't see it,

I did try again for i went fishing but thr Camit in me wasn't there today 😂, slight improvement though but felt off

 

[manou]

Ok... what about now, tell me I'm safe right ?!? @Barareklam @330_D ?!

Where are we going if now we have to beat @Tidgney lap time to be secure ... 🤔 😅

 

[Wilsonson]

First valid lap after many attempts. I always steer to late then slow down too much and go too wide. I don't see how silver is possible without hours of practice. I will possible call it quits and not return.

 

[Lomic]

I don't see how silver is possible without hours of practice.

I do 😅 I think with some practice everyday you'll get there. Put manual transmission, put 3rd and go !

Yes, I’ve been running with ABS off as well.

who needs brakes 😁

Not often, but when you do come in a bit hot, no abs works better on this one.

Just snuck into gold 1:27.113. When are you guys braking, beides for the jump into the right hander, after the trampoline park?

Only there

 

[pcmfocus]

think icamit is angry 1t of top time 😅 gold time is now 1.27.042

btw who need brakes only use downshift

 

[manou]

Only there

I also brake before the first jump when turning left. I saw the second best racer ghost doing that and I have to say it helps.

Hi,

He / She is still shaving lumps off the WR time. I have no idea or clue about this Time Trial. Best time so far is a 1:30:xxx and it would have been a red lap.

I doubt I will try again here.

Good luck folks - I am out on this one.

Best regards to all here.

Ian.

These last two pages have confirmed to me that staying away from the Colorado Springs event was indeed a wise choice.

Meanwhile, back at Watkins Glen, some progress was made. Still a couple of tenths to find as I’ve take a tenth off my optimals, but really enjoying this one.

 

[Barareklam]

Bouncy bouncy...

1:25.***. here I come 😊

 

[half_sourly]

Made it too, just.

I only brake first corner and the left hander before the trampoline park. For the jumps I don’t brake but lifting off the throttle in the air and for landing controls the jumps.

Nowhere. Here is my lap.

Spoiler: Colorado lap

 

[Superhero Wally]

And then I managed to do this, and feels like I can still gain more. No wonder Camit keeps going.

 

[TheNormsk]

I’m hoping this time is safe.

This aged poorly. It didn’t even last 12 hours.

Now at +3.03%.

 

[Lomic]

very interesting !

surprised that you keep 4 on last turns, car feels like it will bog down

It will, if you don't get it right. I've come to realize, that corner and the trampoline park are probably the two most important corners/areas for getting gold.

There is a fair drop in speed when you shift up, and more to the point, I just copy the top available replay.

 

[Barareklam]

That was very good lap! Well done into 25 😊

 

[half_sourly]

That was very good lap! Well done into 25 😊

Thank you, and congratulations on yours too. I'm sure it is the same for you, but there is more time there. I've done slightly quicker 2nd and 3rd sectors, and regular 16.5xx sector 1, even a few 16.49x. Good thing is, I am really enjoying it so will happily keep trying.

 

[bluealpine]

My silver is in the safe.
the job is done and the car was cleaned.

And now camit... Don't do that, naughty boy!

 

[Gomario JSP]

Made it too, just.
