This one is in my “fun and done” metal category

@crome - almost there… found a half tenth, and now within a tenth of my time from March and within a whisker of your time. Lap 6 in this run would / could / should have been a 35.8 as I was 0.15 up after the hairpin, but ran slightly wide coming out of the second part of Spoon. Enjoying running this event and the new budget NASCAR event doesn’t interest me, so will keep pushing :cheers:

Just out of curiosity, have you adjusted steering angle? (Think that's how is called, people were doing that when we had silly Daytona TT when one needed to drive on white line)
Im switching between stock and 1 click down in thrustmaster tgt

It seems like I am the only person in the top 20 so far to use 5th gear🤔
5th is quicker while turning but once the car straighten it loses time alot.... + why on earth pd allowed handbrake its not rally.. they ruined the combo again. Protest for another leaderboard reset 😆

Well I stayed on 5th the whole lap, didn’t brake at all just lifted, still sitting at 20th, my highest rank ever😃
 
Was at +2,5% in the afternoon. Now at 3,5% and even studying the handbrake turns of top replays i cant put use to it myself. No improvement. No gold for me this time. Until the next week.

Edit:
And if course no gold at Suzuka. Not even silver. Don't like that one too. Of course skill issues.

Still a bit proud of my position 5xx at Interlagos in the NSX.

This whole handbrake thing is absolute not a thing for 99.999999% of people, just a little coast and very very minimal brakes, you don’t even need them.

If you really want it just throw CSA on strong, TC on 3 and do 3 laps.

The handbrake thing is such a weird outlier thing. 🤷‍♂️
 
This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial: The Eighth Circle of Hellcat

One of the maddest Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial events we’ve ever seen is ready for players worldwide, and you’ve got two weeks to set the fastest time you can over a 19-second lap...

I managed an 18.688 without handbrake.. its not necessary at all. I can even beat my current time without it. The handbrake just gives me better consistency on exits and less engine braking to carry momentum in the banking
 
Just snuck in under a 19-second lap with an 0:18.995 with all of the things on (ASM, CSA on Strong) so that a TC control of 1 was even somewhat controllable.

That car on Comforts is a disaster! At least the ~100 laps I did took very little time.
 
Well that was horrible. I got this on something like my 8th lap. Must have been a total fluke.

I did about 50 more laps trying to beat it and only gave myself a headache and dizziness.

I probably won’t be back and as Jeddah has the WR it should be safe for gold.

TCS 3
CSA strong
ABS normal

I tried different assist combos but this is what I got my time on.

Morning,

Well..... I had some morning brain-killing lefthanders this morning, but it was kind of weird, i'm curious if somebody has the same..

I had quite a few laps were i was alomst 100% sure i didn't hit the wall but still seeeing my new PB in red, not once but numerous times, in the end i didn't save fastest lap because there was nog PB....
But now i see i went from .905 to a .901 ??, call me crazy but i surely thought that was a red one while driving, on the sheet it was green though :confused: :confused: :lol: ....

Am i going nuts here? :lol:

Optimals were great though with a .785 , just need one good lap ....or .... 2 good corners.... :lol:

Ah, if I beat @Mistah_MCA lap time, it could be a very good time then.

Surprisingly not so easy to get a great time, there is finesse here. The exact right amount of brake (I break 2 times), right amount of throttle, when to ease of it when thr curb stops, etc.

Anyway, happy with my time.
