That's 🔥 and thanks for the replay vid.
Can we humbly ask you to stop pushing it further? 😛

Vendetta has also lowered his time from 1:0.972 to 1:0.926. 🙄
Headache galore.

You'll probably see a flood of aliens giving this a go shortly when they all get back from the World Finals🤣.

Gold time has moved slightly - Its now 1:02:753
Had a chance to attempt this time trial this past weekend. At first i didn't enjoy it at all. Once I got to grips with the handling of the Escudo, I started having a blast!
My current time is 1:03:064 and I feel that the gold is possible, if it does not move too much!!

Send me your GT7 nickname (no results for zjn). I can now answer the question.

Thanks half_sourly, I've been away for couple of days and just saw your replay. 👍

I recovered my handwritten notes and searched for my time, which speed up a lot the search.
However ZZI is my nick

For those that are struggling with this one, try using ASM, helps a lot with this car. 1'00.985

Indeed!, that makes a real difference, i was struggling to get under 1:03.3. this morning did a session with ASM on and went to 1:02.409.
Now i have a few days to perfect the lap, still can't get the 5th on the first corner to work i'm just to slow so the boost is gone and i'm quicker in 4th, so there is work to be done cause i don't if 1:02.4 is going to be enough

ASM prevents the wheels from skidding or spinning, usually people think that it's only helpful for oversteery cars, but actually it's more useful to limit understeer. Quite a bit actually.

Many of the licence tests for example need you to use ASM to challenge the top 10 times.

yes it is, thanks!

Out of curiosity, if you like to share your Harry Potter tricks, are you downloading all data and search off line, or did you identify a smart way to nail the specific data in the unpleasant PD pages?

Downloaded and use it offline in Excel.

If you ever find the time then I'd greatly appreciate if you could do your magic for my profile?
The nickname is Saul Goodman. I should be Top100 at the Suzuka TT with the MP4 just for reference.

Current TT ends 12/12

I thought it was running for 5 days (from the 24th) ? Must have misread that somewhere.

Oh well, more time for me to get back into this one then.
 
Ohhh, I actually checked on the web (12/12). They are both kind of strange, usually TT ends on Thu, not Mon.

The 7 days differece may be the time I need to regain the road after brutally exiting wide at the last turn 😖

What does exactly ASM do?

Honestly I have no idea. I mean, I can read what the acronym stands for, but I feel no difference in driving whether it's on or off. Maybe it helps more depending on the car or something. I will turn it on when I use the MR cars, and I think it helps but I cannot actually tell so it may just be placebo.

Regardless, hard to argue with Metal's time so I will turn it on when attempting this TT for sure.

There were two or three Saul Goodmans for some TTs, but given your Top100 I think this set of results is you.

Other than ABS set to weak, I don't use aids. But I decided to take @Metalgear9493's advice and try ASM. I don't know if it the placebo effect, but the car did feel more stable. Dropped my time down to 1:02.468. I don't know if it will be enough to stay gold. Once the aliens from the GT World Series take some laps...:scared:

I rather enjoy reading this whole discussion of becoming faster. Alas, me, a beginner with a controller, does not succeed in getting under 1:10.00. Lol

I set my time with a controller.

I have a playseat with T300 RS GT, but weird enough in the daily race RedBull Ring this week i could not beat my time set with a controller.

Should try the TT with a wheel maybe...
