Entry numbers dropped for this one, maybe people just didn't fancy trying a road car or user numbers have gone down.

Maggiore - 98054
Interlagos - 112265
DTS - 116372
Red Bull Ring - 104665
Trial Mountain - 88504
Fuji - 95257
Alsace - 81474

This is just those who completed a lap to post a time, perhaps some just gave up trying to drive the boat straight away.

Where did you find this data ? Link?
 
Off the back of hours of attempts at Suzuka using the 787B, this TT has come at just the right time.

Should be a reference for the MP4, right?

.....right?

That's really handy, thanks. Where did you find them?

Just scrolling down to the end of each TT's results on the GT website.
I'm sure in the past they made it easier to find this stuff, there was more data available.

Just for reference - Senna's pole lap in that car was 1:41.853

We already have some Senna beaters on the leaderboard - on medium tyres as well.
 
Damn... My time was 2:20:3xx...

This one was a challenge! Congrats to all who got a gold!
 
Just over 5% gold rate on this last one, which makes it almost as selective as the SF19s at Fuju, that was 4%.
 
I ended the last one 250th, really really happy with that!

Suzuka can be a cruel mistress so approaching this one with a little trepidation. I'll probably do another track guide if I set a gold lap time by the end of tomorrow, maybe the weekend.
 
More than happy to sit on a medium 1.44 for this round.

I was kidding myself that 1.44.xx was good enough for gold. I got excited and then looked to remind myself that it is currently 1.43.99x

Great fun, but 3-lap sessions are enough for me!
 
I struggled in the Super Formula time trial what comes to a gold time (only one so far I got silver in), so I think this might be tough. But maybe a bit easier 🤔

Now this is one hell of a wild beast to tame...

Done a 1:43.5 after about 150km session and without following a top-time ghost. And after seeing the replay here of Kie25, yeah, I'm using 3rd gear most of the time instead of using 4th, plus that DOUBLE SHIFT technique which does seem to give you at least a couple of tenths on both straights.

Might aim for a sub 43 time. sub 42s and 41s are for the aliens.

I also believe this gold is going to be really hard for most people. Almost as much as Fuji was.

Yeah, the thing is, I can't find the time trials in the GT Website lol. Which tab is it?

I snuck in with a 143.233 after about an hour. I could get a sub 43 however the issue with my wheel and sharp hairpins in GT still haunts me. I need to sit down and set a manual steering lock for this car and then I think I can easily break 43.

yeah the Mp4 has way less downforce and seems to understeer way more as well but yet snaps on power even easier than the SF19 cars.

I find quicking the rack up and putting steering sensitivity to 10 helps immensely with this car.

This is more difficult than I imagined but fun. Key seems to be minimising time lost with gear changes.

If you aren’t an alien you really need to view a quick lap to understand the techniques needed.
 
1h tt still yet not golded, not easiest one but prefer this than Nissan btw Gallo pushed for p1, so we are probably not far from real p1 time ;)
 
Wow the error rate for the final chicane is frustrating and killed plenty good laps!! :eek: down to 1'42.8 so far but can get some more with luck and braking sooner :lol:

Great combo this one... those top times are ridiculous :bowdown:

Thanks for that - I'd only tried it on the PS5 and it was a pain..... much easier this way and never noticed it before!
 
I am struggling! Not into gold yet. Car is wide, I keep just touching the grass slightly. Need to recalibrate my mind!

What is this ?

Top guys like to eliminate 5th gear, so always go from 4 to 6 on the straights

I took a look at Gallo's lap because i wanted to know what gearing he uses, he even goes back to one in some corners for rotation, i'm going to need alot of time for this one :lol: :lol: :banghead:

How does that make you faster ? I need to try this lol

I had my doubts 2, but they al say it's faster, the MP4 takes alot of time for shifting gears so i'm trying to implement it also, but i must say that is harder on DS4 than i thought it was :lol: :lol:
 
Tricky in an unruly car. I forecast a persevering silver at best for me. Last two have kicked my ass. Was Golding everything trials, missions, CEs, licenses until that point. :(

But don't forget that guys like Gallo are super fast, they are in another leaque, but these are the guys you are competing with, 3% within WR time is quite fast if the bar is set by top sim guys.
If the all the missions, licences and CE's were set by these guys no one would gold everything.
I also did gold everything "quite easy" (except for a few ones that took alot longer ofcours) but those TT's are a bit more serious, but then again, i like it that you can now see what you realy have to improve to move up.
But to be honest, this one is a real pain in the a*s for me, i did one hour this morning and i am no where near gold.
Practise and get to know the car was key with the previous ones, it just takes a little more time ( for me then )
we will see were it ends, just don't give up :D

Interesting, well I will try increasing steering sensitivity. Was running 0 sensitivity on my G29.
 
Today I did first 150km and the best I pulled off was 1:47.312
Far from silver, but this TT is really difficult.
I thought previous one will be my first bronze but I made one great lap, now I'm even more sure this will be the one...

It's only first day for me and everything could change, I'll be trying, that's for sure.
