Is there a slight shift downward in participation numbers for the TTs? Is this a sign that we've gone beyond peak player numbers? I used TT end dates rather than numbers to show that there is no clear seasonal trend. There may be a slight dip in Jul/Aug annually, but this year it is off a lower base.

The numbers are still high, but the average participation before the latest Mercedes cross-platform event ending Jul 2026 was 159,914, while the average for the 8 events after that is 152,456.

There is no clear indication of trend using those two larger events that happen more or less annually, so maybe I'm reading too much into recent data points:

Mercedes cross-platform:
Aug 2024 - 186,368
Jul 2025 - 268,097
Jul 2026 - 242,391

Honda eMS:
5 Nov 2023 - 114,114
1 Sep 2024 - 156,261
28 Sep 2025 - 225,169
This event does show a clear upward trend, but it would be interesting to see, if the event happens in Sep 2026 too, what the numbers are.

The red line is a 10-event moving average.

I definitely have a love-hate relationship with Laguna Seca...and these new physics do not help that. I love a car turning more when you turn...less...what? That's...not how cars work.

Did a solid 41 laps for my first session and got myself down to a 1:25.025, with optimums of a 1:24.848.

Need this thing to rotate more consistently to really be able to pick up more time, but again...the front wheels either make the car not turn...or they do and you turn to much. It lacks logic.
 
The new TT on the Lagune track, featuring one of the rare excellent VGTs—so much fun!

The one at the Nürburgring is bound to give quite a few players trouble, judging by my ranking—even though my time wasn't anything special.
