GT7 Online Time Trial/Lap Time Challenge Discussion

1:05 for bronze. Gave it a couple of laps, ain't gonna happen! Good, I need to spend a bit more time back at the circuits to build up my cash.

Already giving up?

I barely got laps in and I got sub 1:02 with a controller

Try again, OP

In short try, I didn't even post a time...
Retry retry retry...

Going to be hard, but not impossible, just did a 01:03.6 on my laptop on a crappy 720P (PS4 Slim) with bad remoteplay connection.
7th gear turning in full throttle on pixel number 6
can't wait to sit behind the tv and see what i can do

Yup.... this TT is about as enjoyable to me as those rally races on that awful Barcelona rally track.....

 

[TumeK5]

Yup....

 

[dimassa19]

Good opportunity to take my Senna Homage (Zero Km) for a spin.

 

[jontikis]

Yep, that's brutal
The right hander on top of the hill and the final chicane are just at times.

1:00.034 is definitely great for the controller but I was so gutted I didn't go in the 59s

 

[Leon Kowalski]

Oh dear, this is not my TT. Don't know if I'll take too many laps in that rolling suicide machine. I mean, if I want a race that feels like this, I take my PS1 out of the closet and play a round of Wipeout2097.🤣

Well that was a nice surprise, did not think I could have any chance to gold this one when I saw the combo and after I did my first few laps. First half and hour or so could manage 1.01.2-3s at best. Then started to find some more pace especially in sector 1, you need to be extremely aggressive there.

Then all of a sudden started to bang some good sector times and got my lap down to a 1.01.024, before I spun. Best potential showed 1.00.821, so I knew current gold time was doable. On my best lap I nailed the second corner (considering my driving skills, nailed it) and had a great lap from there. Maybe the penultimate corner before the back straight and last chicane could have been slightly faster (a tenth at best in total), but a lap I am very happy with regardless.

Below I shared my lap, to give you fellow 'mortals' some hope too 😎 It is not the fastest lap, and I am not sure it will be enough for gold, but a lap I am quite satisfied with regardless. And just took me around 45 min or so.

Well done, and here I was happy just breaking 1.00.7 😅 And aliens down in low 59 sec territory already. 😮‍💨

To be fair, anything below 1:01 is outstanding for this car/track combo. Hopefully we can continue chipping away some hundredths

 

[zaxs]

I managed to do 1:03.677, it will be second bronze, after MP/4 at Suzuka (but there I was few thousands off silver).

 

[dimassa19]

I got Silver in the first session, DS4, (Automatic, for a while).

 

[Leon Kowalski]

I've done my part. 1:01:5, maybe that will stand for silver. Trying for gold would force me to invest a lot of hours, and looking for medical help afterwards. Nope, that's enough.

I think so.

Quite sure.

Only maybe...

Never say never.

😆

 

[bianconiglio]

1:00.712 after many tries, but I lost 2 tenth from my best in the last sector... (DS5, AT).
Anyway, gold is moving, so I think that I have to improve my time

 

[half_sourly]

but I lost 2 tenth

First read that as "2 teeth".

Certainly the way I felt after my first few laps.

Now there's a couple below 59 seconds,ugg,

 

[gd224]

Got a 1:04.289, so barely within bronze territory for now. Need to learn my braking markers and where to lift on this track better.

 

[CCM284]

Managed a 1:00.046 after 20ish laps. Turn 5 track limits were the death of me lol.

Good enough for me.

[TumeK5]

This time trial is pretty much about getting the power down on low speed corners and kicking up some grass.

 

[Yuto55]

About 3 seconds off bronze, and i think i was fast, never been so far off on any TT , impossible to take that much time

 

[DivitLad]

My ps5 is still showing Willowsprings , weird . Ah I see it's showing Willow and RA when selecting TT, why's Willow still showing?

 

[sdi_03]

Yes sir, 0:59.8 👍
I know theres still few tenths lef for me 😄
P1 lap is just crazy 😂😂

 

[Talon16]

Got both accounts into gold, albeit barely. Both into the 1:00.6s (.683 & .605 respectfully; I then followed up that .605 with a .608 and .618) which I don't think will hold for two weeks.

 

[Blayney]

I refuse to get anything other than gold. This car (well the original RB) is what started to kill Gran Turismo for me though. I'd rather never see it again tbh. I'm very far off and hating every second of driving it. Doubt I'll do a guide as I'd be a fraud and I won't be chasing top 250. Gold and out for another 2 weeks.

 

[BetelgeuzeFIN]

Oh, this is certainly my favourite TT till this time. 😅 Got 1:00.170 but breaking that minute threshold seems appealing challenge to try. Feels that the lap is much about getting lucky in 2 hardest corners on sector 1. Fast drivers use totally insane lines there in some corners. 🙈

 

[TumeK5]

Mainly the two slowest turns.

 

[manou]

1.01.066 after way too many retries... It is harder for me than Suzuka with the F1.
