GT7 Online Time Trial/Lap Time Challenge Discussion

I'm currently tracking +2.2/2.3% in each TT. Good enough to keep the credits rolling in.

Morning,

Well I started out with my little Huracan Cow yesterday and wanten to see where Mooohhlly would bring me so I sticking with her for now 🤣

But what a crap layout this is, it's like you only get the worst parts of the track combined.... transition from T1 to T2 is just pure crappyness 🤣

That said, ... Moohhlyy was a little quicker this morning, but she is very loose on the braking, and yeah that chicane..... I even called it names this morning which I can't repeat here...

Beautiful time though....1:15.555 🤣

 

[Vule]

I'm so annoyed by this... Can't seem to figure out the chicane I'm right in the bumper of the WR ghost literally for the whole lap, he maybe pulls a tenth on me right until the last part, but then in the chicane I lose 4 tenths easily on the run to the finish line, I just don't understand, is it pure luck to hit the curbs just right or what... It will have to be a lucky lap to go into the 14s, but it must be done!

For those who want to try it, it seems easier to take tight corners in Tsukuba with the steering adjustment not in automatic mode on DD Pro (I'm at 680°). @Metalgear9493 did you modify it for this TT ? You shared that with us once I think ?

I can confirm that. Running 720° myself. This is often a good recipe for road cars on tracks with tight corners. Eiger Nordwand is another great example.

Yeezz... not to bad buddy!

If I look at the leaderboard i do have to change to the Citroen 😒
Apparentely it's a lot faster

That chicane, it's annoying as .... , you start the lap and each single start you nail it...... end of the lap, no chance of sticking it

It's more difficult (and annoying) to modify it with the T598 as you have to access the settings menu on the wheel base each time, and any rotation adjustment is reset back to default once you restart, or pause.

Your memory is very accurate though as I did use 720 degree mode in that BMW road car laptime challenge combo at Sardegna last year, where I won it using the TGT.

0:57.770 Tsukuba

Deeper trail braking at the second last corner and a different line at the last bend should see me at 57 flat. But happy with that time for now.

New test at Barcelona-Catalunya and improve my time

 

[Vule]

Finally

But I think I'm not done yet, prior to this lap I had a .869 that I managed to invalidate somehow on the very last corner, got over the sausage curb maybe a milimeter too much. So I will give it a go for one more session and then I'm back to Tsukuba to squeeze what I can

 

[MP81]

I swear, this is the third day in a row I cannot better my 57.441 at Tsukuba, while it gleefully tells me a 57.200 is my theoretical best...if the damn thing would behave.

I swear, I simply cannot turn the steering wheel fast enough...while also trying to hit the shift paddle, to get it out those tight corners any faster...

Morning!

A first look at the Citroën at Catalunya because looking at the board.....Moohhllyy is not going to stand a chance 🤣
I thought the Huracan was bad at the last sector but the Citroën is even more hell, the Huracan is stronger in the chicane but it just lacks overal speed and is very unstable under braking.

First laps were bad and couldn't even get close to my Moohhlly's .555 but slowly understood the Citroën lap after lap until I did hit a plateau were you have a great lap and it all comes down to the chicane..... I had somany laps better than my new PB but the chicane just hates me .....
So there is def. more in the tank, and think I'll try again.

My problem corners are T1-2-3-4 and so on.........🤣🤣

Good guide as always 😁
Funny to see that you can get away with a lot of different gearing,
I am a tenth faster but I am in a lower gear in almost all exits .... ☹️, ... now I'm curious @Vule 🤣, especially the right hander before the chicane... exit in 2nd or 3th?

 

[Vule]

Use 2nd just for rotation, exit in 3rd

 

[pcmfocus]

Got my weekend session done first day on the new TT ... hate the track specially the last part and refuse to use the Citro 😂 it needs a nerf

After what seems like an awfully long time, finally tasting gold again!
