GT7 Online Time Trial/Lap Time Challenge Discussion

Mmm.... ok challenge, but it handles less great than I expected....

But I truelly can't stand the way they implemented the anti engine braking shenanigans.....I understand that the über yeeeting in a lower gear is eliminated but for example, I would like to hit second gear to rotate into T7 by engine brake but that's kind of difficult now 😡🤣🤣

Happy with that 🏁

What a horrible handling car, I hated every single corner. Not a bad time but I still have 2 tenths in it, I easily lose that on the backstraight exit.

I will say for me in VR it’s not as jarring as you brake more sensitively naturally like in a real car so the engine braking is more shifted to the coasting zone rather than the entry phase for me.

It’s the god awful big turbo oversteer that is annoying as hell for me.

Here's the Spa guide for those interested! I chose the Audi R18 as it has better handling than the porsche in my opinion!

Some fantastic footage for inspiration!

Yeah, I can't imagine a R34 handles like this, but then again.... maby it does, I never had thr opportunity to yeeet one 🤣

I’m looking forward to the next two time trials, although reading about the changes to engine breaking are making me a little apprehensive. I tried to incorporate more engine breaking into my driving as it is clearly faster in some cases then waiting for the revs to come down… did PD make a noticeable change? Or maybe I’m overthinking it.

Don’t over think it, you don’t lose time you just need to be smoother that’s it, rather than forcing artificial turn in or line tightening.

banging down the box was just a quick short cut to certain corner entries.
