So ,somebody decided to make everybodies Monday morning by setting a new top time at Suzuka which knocked me out of gold by .007....Happy to report it only took me about 15 laps to post a new gold time !



:cheers:

So,funny story,lol.....years ago i had switched the turning range/degrees on my wheel to 450 when i played Forza, it just felt like the car was tighter ,better control, i could fly on those highways with great precision .....so i'm doing laps at the speedway and i figure i'll check and see if its still 450... and sure enough it was.....i switch it to 900 and on my very first lap i beat my time by .041 :boggled:

Your lap is 100% safe, let me kick other people's golds in peace 😂... once i get the .5 ill stop until someone gets close to me. Next session i will get that stubborn .5 🙏
Put some cool livery on the back of the car and save the ghost so when we chase you were can also admire the look of the car too 😎

At first, couldn't be bothered to even put in a daily workout for this lacklustre copy TT as seen above.

... however some pace started to develop and the session continued for a while. Kinda felt like I should at least get close the time I managed the last time around in March. Very comically the improvement I later managed was the identical time I set in the very same TT we had back in March, on the thousandth, .222. Consistency is key, etc... :D

And for comparison's sake, the same but March TT:


Split S1: 25.779 v 25.770
S2: 41.206 v 41.221
S3: 1’17.031 v 1’16.993
Finish: 1’35.222 v 1’35.222

Never really was particularly good through Casio, bleeding some time there still but oh well...
 
Maybe this would've been a top 200 without all the Danny_Sim duplicates :odd:

Really was not invested in this copy of a combo.
Lap isn't too bad, T1-2 I lost a tenth and probably another tenth through S1 and another at the hairpin, but the back half of the lap is pretty much optimal for me.

Lap replay using T-cam since we don't normally get that option.


And now who's idea was it to put a Charger on comfort mediums and then the track to be Northern Isles?? What kind of joke of a combination is this? Guess I've got another week of not doing time trials then. :rolleyes:
 
Quick note that this TT will run for two weeks as usual, in case anyone expects a one-week only TT due to potential physics changes as per the Eiger update precedent.
My guess if physics change:

In case times get faster -> no sense in partaking now

In case they get slower -> setback of times -> no sense in partaking now
 
I agree the physics (and feedback driving on a wheel specifically) are less involving and fun to drive than they have been during GT7's lifetime.

Which is a shame for TT's when it's just you and the track.

They are solid enough, it's not terrible, it just feels a bit rigid and flat compared to previous versions, and what other games offer.
