64th gold medal this morning, and it will be 65 with the Citroën...
Father Christmas (whom I wasn't expecting so soon) congratulated me and,
as a reward, left a PS5 in my slippers this morning...😍😍

with a note: ‘You can't stick with your PS4 when the Spec3 is coming out...’

Actually, I think that old miser does his shopping on Black Friday...😂😂

And he added: ‘What's more, you'll improve your lap times by 3 to 5/10ths...’ 🤔🤔🤔

  • What?
  • Really, that's not true?
  • What a liar... he should go into politics... 😂😂😂😂

Never mind... in any case, I'm ready for the Spec3... :cheers::gtpflag:


Actually, I'm telling you this as a way to pass the time while waiting for the update to download... another 25 minutes for me...

I can still replicate my times 😂.. it just feels so off and unnaturally so heavy when the car step a bit. Causing me to be so inconsistent. Even when ffb is 1 if the car slides or you drift it it becomes max ffb heaviness

The results for TT175 at Northern Isle Speedway in the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat '15 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 TT176 at Autodrome Lago Maggiore - East in the GT by Citroën Road Car.

It is my interpretation that the Polestar is a regular one of Time Trial like there had been numerous others in the past.

I think you are right; I was a bit eager in my assessment of what was going on. Now that I have downloaded the update and looked at what is going on:
  • Anything that appears in the Sport Mode page, where our Lap Time Challenges are, I will add to the list as 'official' TTs.
  • Anything not there, for example any time trials under the weekly challenges, I will not add or report on.
Normal service resumes and I'll get back in my box! :P

EDIT: @crome for reference I have them as below, as I base them on finishing date:

Alright need to tweak the backend of my plug-in to a) sort by finishing date and b) recognize these new non-"Lap Time Challenge" events as time trials in the first place. Do you think that, going forward, we will now always have three concurrent events? Two regular ones and one weekly challenge?

Edit: oh wait, the Polestar one isn't a weekly challenge ... it's also not a regular lap time challenge however. Still a bit confused :D

I am hoping it is just a one-off or annual thing, along the lines of the Michelin, Mercedes Hot Laps, or Honda Racing eMS ones we've had in the past.
 
I was thinking of making one of my sporadic appearances for the TT since there's a big game update.

But I don't particularly want to drive Yas Marina (AD21 flashbacks) and I don't want to drive an EV (though Brands (GP) was my best ever overall finish so does make me think...)

Hope you're all enjoying the update!

Me, yes... the cars are not bad... lots of new races and two TTs...😉😉

and even though I changed consoles, I managed to keep my three accounts with their winnings...
so with three drivers, I've got plenty to do...😂😂

Enough to keep a pensioner busy... which is fortunate because with this incessant rain, I can't really do anything else...☹️☹️
 
Had one last go-around with the Citroen, and I think I’m on my limit here… with all the new content in Spec III and PowerPack I don’t think I’ll be coming back to this TT but man…. I had a blast with it. I love the start of sector two, right hander heading uphill, where the car just floats. This car is frustrating at first but if you stick with it, it kind of teaches you how to manage weight transfer into corners… And punishes for lack of throttle control 😂 if you can throw the car in entering the S curves, the understeer and oversteer basically get you through without you having to do much steering at all 😉 still looking for my first top 100… But getting closer!! 🍺
