The results for TT169 at Autopolis International Racing Course in the Gr.2 are over here. I have updated the opening post with the index of all TTs and the second post with the community scoreboards. A reminder that each driver's results for every TT are in the Excel file attached to the latest results post.

Here are some interim statistics for TT170 at Blue Moon Bay Speedway - Infield B Reverse in the BMW Z8 '01.

Spoiler: GTP Scoreboard

Spoiler: Meanwhile, things are looking grim at the rally TT.

Meh, Yaris again... Isn't this the third time already? We have real rally cars in the game, which would have been a great fit for this time trial.

I really think this would've been the perfect opportunity for an Escort TT, or hell, even the RAV4...

Anything but the Yaris again.

I love the Delta Integrale for rallying events. It's so stable compared to all the others.

Oh. My. Word.

Oh. My. Word.

About double what it was at noon 😂

When I wrote the article there was about a tenth between the top two and then an actual second between #2 and #3...

Edit: Must have been two-tenths, as I don't think that the top time has improved.

Camit P1 ... No surprise there.
I hope he shared a ghost, did he?

Chaparral TT seems nice...rally one I don't want to do because I don't feel wasting time learning perfect line and than run it for hours to get gold 😔

 

[Nebuc72]

Would've been nice to h ave a car that felt like it had something of a suspension. Every bump is like going over a landmine, it's ridiculous. A good lap feels like it boils down to bouncing lucky enough to carry speed out a corner.

The Yaris-for-rally use has gotten a bit much now, I have to agree.

You know what'll happen though, they'll hear people complaining and they'll change it up next time... to the Corolla.

Viewing the thumbnail I first thought it was the Corolla Morizio indeed.

Echoing the disappointment in the Yaris yet again. Yes, it's the third time. Six rally TT's and 50% of them in the exact same car, how lame and devoid of creativity is that?

You're not meant to take the cars out of their original packaging.

 

[NevilleNobody]

Yeah tried the rally, thought I did OK and was miles off Bronze so I am out. I suspect i'd go OK in the CHapparel and managed to beat gold by 4 tenths within a half dozen laps, optimal is another 4 tenths faster if I need to go back to it so i'll call that done for now. It's a fun car to drive, ton of grip and sounds great.

 

[newmedia_dev]

I think honestly the Jeep would have been more fun and echo the race than the space hopper Yaris.

For the first time in a long time I’m ONLY with in 20% of the time 🤣🤣🤣

Not for me, the J2 is nice and fun to drive in VR but doesn’t really suit Watkins so I’ll just get that done and wait again.

 

[Buckethead75]

Under 2% at Watkins Glen, not even silver with the Yaris haha

Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial: Rite of Springs​

Time trial enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to this week, with a new event arriving on schedule and accompanied by another special challenge to make for a rare line-up of three...

Seems that for every time there's a dirt/snow time trial, I get bronze. Granted, I don't mind since I get silver or gold for 99% of all other time trials, but I wonder how I'll do on this one?

given that the track is in reverse, it should be even harder than usual

I actually think this track is better in reverse. Flows a lot nicer.

At the moment I need to learn it this way, I am far form any flowy state 😅

 

[samsaoule]

Come on, just a little more effort and you'll make it... I feel like I can do it...

It's not complicated: third gear and foot to the floor 90% of the time... 😂 😂

 

[Lomic]

After 2 laps to test this morning, did 10 laps this evening, much better but funny that I beat my best ranking ever in a TT, with a lower than medium bronze 😅

Still need to figure out some jumps and corners, but really fun when done well.

Did 3 laps at the Glen, that car on RS tyres and VR is crazy, although I was seated a bit too low. In bronze now, not too far from silver, but not sure I'll be able to improve much, I feel that I am already close to my limits with few spots where I can gain time.

A rally trial? Uhhh no thanks. I think I’d struggle to get gold on that one!

Chaparral 2J at Watkins Glen? Much more like it! Tricky but fun, there’s understeer, there’s snap oversteer, there’s terrifying speed, there’s only three gears. A lot to like!

A few tenths to find for me but happy to get a decent time on the board straight off the bat!
