GT7 Online Time Trial/Lap Time Challenge Discussion

[crome]

Played a little last night with the new rig under me. Wow. What a difference!! Although I couldn't improve, I really look forward to using a stiff setup. It's wild how much different it is to the playseat challenge.

Why? Why would you do this to me?

Same here...the single best change in my sim racing set-up! 👍

By the way, you need to update your signature with the new rig...

The old setup was held together with zip ties. They held my load cell pedal... it was meager at best. I'm still nowhere near having this new one figured out yet though. I'm still slow. 😂

What did you get? When I upgraded a few things a couple of years ago, the most noticeable impression for me was the more rigid rig. Might not have made me better, but just felt so good to not have things wobbling around. Got the Rock Solid Rig.

That new Fanatec CSL. I'm one of the lucky ones who've had really good experiences with them. It's really tiny compared with profile rigs. That's the biggest thing. I don't have room. I'll get a picture!

Yeah.. feel much safer now into gold (0.005 improvement) 😒 not touching this devil anymore, but gotta admit, had a lot of fun driving it. I only lack proper skills.

 

[Chris30]

I need to get up there with you guys. Maybe I'll give it some time. Leaving no TT left behind! The only one I skipped last year was the Lancer one at Tokyo-Central Counterclockwise. Remember that monster of a challenge?

 

[330_D]

You have PSVR2. You've already got me beat! That's next but I'm waiting because I've spent far too much on a 60 dollar video game at this point. 😂😂😂

Hi,

Many congratulations to 330_D on their new rig. That looks like a beautiful piece of kit.

Now... I have to say that I am really, really miffed at 330D now! I have even less chance of catching him now he has a rock solid rig!


The KTM X-Bow is a hoot to drive though. Close to a gold time already. Only need a few more tenths and I am there.

Best regards to all here.

Ian.

You're right, it's a fine masterpiece and work of art! However I'm sticking with my controllers. Anyone is fine to use whatever equipment they want.

New test today in Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in 1'25'779 with optimal time at 1'25'572

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Just tasted the 1:24's with an opt of 1:24.6xx. @Evilmuffin, your time isn't safe yet 😉

 

[Stormbreaker]

1.24.555 For me this is a very fun combo! Had so much fun driving this TT. Watch my video if you want to improve your lap time, if it helps i'm happy!. And as always keep pushing guys! 🏆🏁

Lol, three 5's. Nice and funny time. My goal is to get a sub 1'25.500.

 

[Jeje6410]

My wife warned me by message that she would soon be returning from her shopping, so I rushed to take one last look !!!! 🤣🤣
And like yesterday I improved my time to 1'25'740 and always following the ghost of my dear friend @Gomario JSP

 

[Ed_Night]

Messed up the both right handers in S2 a little bit.
Accidently shiftet down to 2nd gear under breaking for the first one, going into the corner completely sideways. 🤪
Under shock slowed down a bit to much for the 2nd one. 😂

Had a red laped .2 a bit later, so i'm confident to climb up the leaderboard a bit further until the end.

 

[Evilmuffin]

.... @Evilmuffin sweat a bit 🤣

Maby tomorrow some laps again,

Have a nice weekend fellow addicts 😁🤣

Hold on....let me pull 2/10s out of a hat just to be a bit safer......

 

[zjn]

After spending 1 hour in suzuka (59 mins pushing the retry button 1 min to drive) i've got some little improvement of 70ms.
Before the spoon it was .6s, ouch!!!
However I'm happy about the progress.

So, with the new update everyone is able to everyone's best lap, unless you opt out, and the system automatically upload any new improvement?

 

[GlockPants]

First of all, what the eff?

Second of all, what the eff 130R?

I could have Gold if I just get that one corner nailed down.

Really nice. Kinda setup I wanna get in the next months.

Wanna get the DD Pro, only thing I'm not sure about is the NM 🤔

How is the seat? Only found 2 on the Fanatec site. This one and one that is 6x the price 😂

It’s as if he’s evil or something.

 

[krazislaw]

for me.. it was so fine line in wheel input that I nailed it 50% of the time

 

[Barareklam]

Definitely surrounded by aliens here..
Sector time 1:03.6* should be 1:24.8 but small hesitating into chicane before uphill slow me down 😏 anyhow 1:24.9 that's ok that too.
Find T3 the most difficult one to nail good. Keep pushing guys!

 

[MUC76]

Had a nice custom race today with @Pesselles. We had a bone stock Jeep on Nordschleife.
After that I drove the KTM just like the '45 Willys. That's the key!

Just one lap and you are done

Let's see how long it's in.

Cheers

Well you pulled it out of the lucky hat today, nice!!! I feel that this X-bow TT will be a fight to the death with the aliens, pros and lower skilled drivers. It's nice to get a comfortable challenge this time as opposed to the previous 2, (Fuji and Suzuka).

@Jeje6410 awesome replay, I just watched it in the ranking board where the race information is. I can't see it once I enter the track/challenge. It's all good.

You are an evil muffin! You're making me go back in there... It's all the livery, I bet.

Top class lap though, mate!

 

[Chris30]

I'm fixing to take a closer look now, I need a bigger TV. I have got to earn this gold and feel the mighty satisfaction for putting the work in. My dad would be proud.

 

[TumeK5]

I have got to earn this gold and feel the mighty satisfaction for putting the work in. My dad would be proud.

But can you do it? And are you prepared to improve if the gold becomes lower than your time?

Mario's kart was too slow......got to have Brower's
