GT7 Online Time Trial/Lap Time Challenge Discussion

Got knocked out of gold by .024 on Highway 1.....wasn't sure i could do better but i did ...hopefully this should be enough!

That Supra is horrific and was an absolute unpleasant mess to drive. Best I could manage today was a 1:55.702 with CSA on strong and TC on 1. I could go faster, I am sure, with it on 0, but even CSA did little to assist (makes me wonder sometimes if "strong" is meant to occasionally be a joke). I really was not connecting with that vehicle and likely will not attempt to improve despite being considerably further down the placement list than usual (I probably still will, because I am a moron and hate myself and my sanity).

Yuck.

You might come around though if you give it another chance. I had a similar first impression, could barely finish a lap when I first tried it on Saturday. But second session went way better already. The beauty of this combo is that it gives me a sense of constant progression that many other combos don’t. I feel like I learn something new about the car all the time. It is really quite addictive.

Looking pretty good already, but there is easily another tenth or two in there. S1 was pretty mid on my PB, and I had better S3s as well.

Spoiler: The lap

CSA strong, TC1 to help win the chicane lottery a bit more often. Happy to report that apparently TCS did not get nerfed in the update as much as I had feared after Tsukuba. You can still be very competitive with it.

A little progression has been made but there is way more time on the table but although she has very nice butt, she ain't nice to me most of the time 🤣, but very enjoyable challenge this one, I'll try again.

Very smooth run, and clearly visible why my ghost is running away on every exit 🤣, you have different tires on the rear or something? 🤣🤣

Well done!

@Vule good lap!, and yes very true indeed, there is just somuch time to find or loose on every exit, my fastest bridge split was .189 this morning, but a PB set at 1:53.725 on a .4xx split....🙄😭🤣🤣

Hooray, another gold Supra

Hi @Metalgear9493


It is reassuring to see that an alien also sighs like us humans 😁



I also notice that the inputs seem very fluid and consistent but here, the pilot must be there for a lot.

Finally, it seems to me that the angles are a little smaller. As for Tsukuba, do you keep a setting lower than 1080 ?

I sighed because of the previous lap where I started to think too much about wanting to execute the lap, I noticed that in Gran Turismo, you need to really not do that, just let it happen and be extremely emotionless.

I rarely change the steering degree angle because the game always resets it back to default even If you so much as pause the game during the time trial session.

That was almost like a prophecy.

Went back at it today, TC on 0 and had none of the issues I had yesterday. I think it just put me in such a bad headspace right off the bat, I was going to fight it and myself the entire time.

Down into the 1:54's with a .871, with plenty more time left in the lap. And I am much happier as a result. 😂

It wasn't speaking to me yesterday, but today it was. Very much enjoyed it as a result!
