Comfort hard on a sports car is just plain dumb.

Got gold easily by the 3rd lap. Lap 1 was bronze, second was silver and third was the $1M Now I'll play with the tuning.

OH... My... Gawd... C/H Tires! Finally a (non-drift) challenge that is truly just that - a CHALLENGE! My bud is trying now, I can't wait for my turn...
I dunno if his 86 was already buffed up (he definitely had already changed the oil, however - we checked), but he had to limit the engine in order to get in, which is kinda sad in a way.
Go have some fun y'all!

It was pretty easy to keep the car straight. Exiting corners of course, was the problem. Nothing wrong with Comfort Hards.

UMMM nope. 10 minutes from the time I started detuning the car to get it under the specs. Gold and done. Atleast they didn't make us use Miatas.

Not excited about Tsukaba again nor comfort hard tires. Rome reverse was already in a previous time trial too. Give us a Nordschleife TT already.
Comfort hards will probably put the Toyota 86 closer to handling reality than the sports hard tires it comes with though.

Am I the only one who gets a game freeze when my best lap ghost car crosses the line in the Toyota 86 time trial at Tsukuba? There were no problems in my first session but after I have come back to the event and loaded my ghost car data, my PS3 crashes when the ghost car finishes the first lap in front of me. Anyone else having this problem? Would be nice if someone could recreate this scenario in their game. I don't have this problem in the other 600PP time trial at Rome Reverse.

tSukuba is easy gold with new unmodified GT86 (not even an oil change).
Rome also gold on lap 1 with a 594PP ZZII using whatever tune happened to be on it.
I'm glad to see them forcing harder tires.
Since they're using PP for the second TT it's possible that some other cars will break into the top 10 besides the R390.

The 86 isn't much of a sports car, what with only having 197 bhp for the TT and about 204 bhp at full song following an oil change.

Do you recall the SLS Top Gear Test Track event?
👍
There's a GT86 only drift event also - makes an interesting change.
Looks like my good intentions to "work from home" today might be in jeopardy...

Okay. Here's my story.
I managed to pull a 1:14.196 at Tsukuba (good for 2542nd in my run). Since the regulations are fairly strict, your only modifications will have to be Drivetrain, Suspension, and Transmission. Everything else is on driver talent. The first hairpin and the sweeping final corner were both the critical parts of the track to get right. Sure wasn't easy, but I was confident enough in my run.
One of my PSN friends used a Ferrari 458 Italia at the Neo-Rome (to diffrentiate from the classic Rome Circuit) Reverse trial. I used another Ferrari- the F430 Scuderia. It took me 1:16.047 (good for 2039th at the time) to get around Rome Reverse in my tuned F430 Scuderia. Part of my problem with the run was in trying to keep the car stable powering out of corners. The car wants to jump from its stance and explode with speed. It's good for a high-speed course; but on a track with some technical corners, this can be a fussbudget. While I miss the old Rome Circuit, I will admit this about the newer Rome Circuit- it is much more punishing on suspensions than the previous Rome Circuit. A poor suspension setup here will have you in serious trouble. A good transmission setup also helps here. When I finally figured it out, I was able to cash in a lap good enough for Gold. I oculd have used my Premium Ford GT, but I needed to dust off the F430 Scuderia and let it play for a bit.
Now when I saw the top times, the Honda NSX-R Prototype LM Road Car was among some of the top times. So it wasn't just the (DAMN I want this car!!!) Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car that took the top spot on the tables.
I may try the Drift trials as well. I will let you know how that goes if I do well enough.

That's an old problem that apparently resurfaced again lately. It's a corrupt ghost file which will make the game freeze when the ghost crosses the finishing line. It doesn't happen every time, but enough that it's a real nuisance.
The bug was there in the very beginning of GT5, but then I didn't see it anymore until 2 days ago with one of my new ghost laps (on Spa). The bug has nothing to do with the track or the car.

The Toyota one seems very easy compared to the ones in the past. I've tended to struggle with the time trials previously but managed a 1:13:755 pretty early on and without starting to play with settings, using stock 192 bhp and DS3 controller.

Well the Special Stage Route 7 was, let's say, a "challenge" 👍 PD though, wasn't expecting a drift challenge on that track. I did it with 4722 points, the first corner came out of nowhere, defiantly was not expecting that, the second corner...... Just kept spinning on it, then I got 298 points, then 983 points.

The Toyota 86 GT TT is quite easy, even with a stock car. Although i'll try some different setings and try to lower my time.
The 600pp in Rome is harder but not quite as others in the past. I've tryed this with the a borrowed R390 (stock tune), and it took me 2 clean laps to get the gold. Since it's a 600pp event the cars are usually more powerfull, and with S/H tires it can get very tricky exiting the corners. Although nothing a good tune can't fix. I'll try some of the ones already posted in the Tuning section, and let's see what happens.
Didn't try the Drift TT's.

Just got 150th in the world on the SSR7 Drift Trial in a Stock Lexus LF-A (when this was posted, anyway), and I never normally try for leaderboard score, but the LFA felt so fun I kept going and going, and finally got 6625 points

It is not dumb, it is realistic.
Many are not aware that prior to release of FT86 in GT5 there was an official championship with FT86 in Japan. You can check it on Japanese here on the official web.
As you can find out with the help of the Translator (4th paragraph of the text), the virtual FT86 was fitted with N1 tires (comfort hard) that simulated the grip of the real-life Michelin Primacy compound that comes with the FT86. Comfort Hard (N1) compound reflect the normal grip and tire wear of the vehicle.
It is easy to proclaim something "dumb" just because you think it is dumb, but as always there is some real reason for everything which is not dumb even by smallest margin.

So if PD are aware of what really simulates the tyres cars come, with do they stick tyres on that are massively stickier as default? Seems odd that a comfort hard equates to real life but barely any of the cars come on those as default.
