Ugh I have regrets. Been doing big shifts at work, 11-13 hour days, only 2 days off in last month.. pretty drained. So of course I played the new TT from 9 till 11pm nearly haha. 88th overall on a 51.217 in the 911
 
You know what would be great? If just once during a tt, or race, they'd start us out somewhere on the main staright prior to the start/finish line. Imstead we get...this looks as good a place as any. We'll drop right before the breaking zone, just off the racing line of the final turn, enjoy

The question now is what kind of car would you have for that Spa TT?

Hey mate, nice compilation of data you gathered there. Really nice.

BTW, my input is the PS5 Dual Sense (controller) so that means I was the fastest Dual Sense user on this TT from the forum. Not bad.
24th in the world, would really like to see how many of the 23 were controller guys.

And this TT had a lot of players participating as well, the 2nd after the Olympic event with the GR010. I'm starting to believe I can actually do it when I try it... Or I'm just being delusional.

I bow to you, sir. Amazing.

Also. Do it.
 
I'm denying to use that goddamn Supra META thing, and as much as I love the McLaren, it cannot be competitive at Maggiore – so I went for the Mazda RX-Vision. Fast, nimble and it has four doritos as a bonus. :dopey:

DualSense used.

If you drive for exactly 4 hours on BB you can complete exactly 444 laps, but it's now almost 2 in the morning and I am getting tired , started losing focus and making mistakes , plus have to get up early to work.

Here is an updated GTP leaderboard for the Red Bull Ring event, with data and new people added per last few posts and some PMs I got. I've also updated it in the results post on the previous page.

Thanks for all your work on this. If it matters any, I’m using a controller.

I just did 100 straight laps. Best lap was 8 thousandths slower than my best (31.951 on lap 14. Lol). Optimal was 31.890. About 10 times I was up heading into the last corner and either overbraked or overcooked it and clipped the wall on the way out. Can’t hit that last turn consistently at all.
 
Tried a few cars this morning (Ferrari, BMW, Porsche) without much success, only the Supra managed to break into the 52s.

First lap with the Mazda RX though

once I figure out which kerbs to cut it should be good for gold.
 
I was in the mood to create a livery last night, and just picked a random Gr.3 car - the Genesis. I then took it for a blast around the time trial, simply so that I could see the livery in a replay and the first flying lap was only 2/10ths off my Porsche time. Sure enough after a dozen laps I had lowered my best time from a 52.2 to a 52.0. I can see where I am losing most time - on the exit of the tight right - I will be in the 51's if I can nail that.

I'm not using apps and have alternative way of uploading pics using laptop.
Created twitter account and linked it with ps4 console, hit the share button, select screenshot and right away is an option to upload it to twitter. From there I can pretty much drag'n'drop the pic wherever I want. Before I juggled with usb sticks and this is much simpler.

I just take a screenshot, share it as a message to an alt account and then I can save the photo from the sent message via the PS app.

You gotta join the community rankings (or not lol just gonna push us mere mortals down the list) as there is only one other Kangaroo-fighter currently
 
BB Raceway - it's a "one more lap" kind of track (or rather "ten more laps").
Hopped in just to get a feel of it and 3 hours and over 300 laps later...

And it's not even funny, I'm on a limit here. Optimal is 32.5, but how to put in that kind of lap when at this point it's purely luck based to hit that inch perfect line :confused:
My thumbs are hurting (yeah, I know I won't turn in more when I press the button harder but I just can't help it)

Imagine my desperation, I'm considering going MT since it's a two gear track, but I fear not only my thumbs will hurt - I'll break few bones in my hands not to mention brain damage :crazy:
 
I’m going to regret my poor adult decision making skills today. Dog woke me up super early yet again this week and the allure of playing overwriting my better judgement lol.

Made the slightest of improvement this morning from 58.875 to 58.833 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m torn between sticking with RSR and seeing how quick a lap I can set and trying out more cars now that I have safe gold.

Been fairly absent on this in the last few weeks - life has just been pulling me elsewhere! Still can't improve at BB, only on a 33.1...

This new Gr.3 one seems more up my alley though. I'll have a crack at that tonight. Any hints or tips??
 
the time for the gold medal has gone down. It went from 0'52'420 to 0'52'273. I still have a margin with a time of 0'52'001. But for how long !!!!
Aliens you really have to calm down, otherwise I'm sending the shock team, to exterminate you 🤣🤣🤣🤣
