At first I thought this TT was awful. It was annoying to learn the car.. but then it actually felt quite nice.

I'm happy with this lap, although I had an invalid .500.

Still haven't figured out how the top guys are exiting the first chicane so fast. That's my worst corner so far.

Morning fellas!

Well... i had dinner last night and suddenly had a real brainfart...started laughing and went to the laptop after the coffey...
So bad...but I just had to 🤣

Mangusti Langousti was born 🙈🙈🤣🤣

Freshly painted I yeeeted the thing over the scampi shaped curbs 🤣

There is def another tenth or 2 left but yeah.... same old story... putting it all in one lap..... 🤣

Skipping 4th gear didn't work everywhere to, very annoying shenanigans, slightly faster for me it seems but it just doesn't work everytime

Not to bad though!

See ya!
 
After the latest drop of the gold time at CGV i was 0,009s out of gold. Some action was required!

Don't ask me how, but i managed to do this:

I never thought i could do a sub 1:25.
If that's not good enough for gold, i'll eat my shorts! :D

Pretty remarkable is my ranking with a gap of 2.41%.

Has anybody watched the lap of the new leader? The speed with that he turns the wheel is unbelievable. That makes me belive, he's driving with a controller. I simply can't imagine someone can turn a steering wheel that fast!
 
Hey folks - haven’t looked at the Monza event yet, but it seems like the polar opposite of CGV and the high downforce, last of the lake braker shenanigans that are required to drag a good lap time over the curbs. Took forever to even get into gold but then it all started to click… ish. This was the fastest from this mornings session.

I'm really liking this NSX (always have, especially on Suzuka 😎 ) Anyways, starting to get into the groove with this track. Once you get going I think this track has a good flow to it. Mistakes were made on this lap, and I have had a 27.3xx on S2, so I know I can get faster if I put it all together.
And thanks @Manimal and @bigfluffy888 for the help! You guys are awesome! :cheers:

I was reminded how horrific that Red Bull car is this evening.

A solid ~180 miles there tonight and I only improved to a 1:24.591 - a whopping 0.022 seconds, and only right near the end. Oh, don't worry, my optimums are apparently in the low 0.3's, but attainable? Apparently not. I'm still on TC1 because I found TC0 to provide zero benefit to me.

How the hell is the top time two seconds faster than this?? Leaving the first chicane, their ghost and I get out at roughly a similar speed and then they just magically speed off into the distance...do I have...less power or something here? It's literally what it seems like, and I know that's not the case but...something has to explain it. Perhaps just the fact the car is horrible?

Can't wait to pull my hair out and scream at my television again tomorrow night with this terrible combo. And then I still need to get back to CGV as I'm damn near out of gold time, which is...insane.

Sigh.
 
Yeah despite ghosts and replays and data tracing, I get to a point where I literally cannot fathom how someone can find 2.5 seconds under a lap where I drove at ten tenths and nailed every apex. Bewildering.

I noticed you did it once, but not the other times - is it only on that straight and not the other two?

Als in curve grande after the first chicane , after Lesmo 2 , after Ascari I failed 🤣, and then also out of parabolica, doesn't all make world of difference but looking at my splits def go backwards if I fail 🤣
 
Alright guys!! I’m heading out on vacation, will be in Japan for about 10 days for some R&R. Was lucky enough to get the time off from work which coincides with my kids’ summer break.

As I think about it, this will be the longest break that I’ll be taking from GT7 since I started! Most of all I will miss the competition, the spirit of driving, and of course this community! I look forward to staying in touch with the goings-on here where I can 💪 I’ll come back well-rested and ready to drive!

I’ll probably need to leave the Mangusta as it is, solid effort but never quite gelled with the car the way I was hoping to.

Enjoy your trip!

On other news...

CGV I wanted a 25, but landed on a 1:26.002 😮‍💨
Still no gold but a decent placing on the rankings so looks like I'm on my usual limit 😅
Did 20 lap stints in each of the cars. I like the Lexus better, but NSX is faster despite not being my favorite....

Monza in the DeTomas, I'm in gold. Don't know if I'll look for a better time.. Also skipping 4th gear btw..
 
Morning guys

Another bunch of wobbeling chicane jumping shenanigans with Mangusti Langousti 🤣

Had some real promising sectors and some real promising red laps too 🙈🤣 .545 with a invalidation on Ascari .... so close!

1000054940.gif




eventually did hook up a descent lap again but no .5
Missed the upshift 3 to 5 out of Parabolica and did hit the limiter before the line 🙈

Not to bad again though!
