Thanks a lot @Carlos Fandango ... from the looks of it, it seems to be just a matter of time until you join Club 2:39 yourself. I'm saving you a spot at the barGreat job @crome - that’s some serious peddling!

Closing out the weekend with a final session in St Croix, and actually managed to dip below 2:40. Woohoo!

As I often do after reaching a significant goal set for myself, I did a final "victory lap" after this. It's funny how these often turn into my best performances. My state of mind changes, the tension is gone, endorphins are doing their thing, and sure enough I left the bridge with a 1:51.5 split, well on track for a 2:39.4xx lap time ... but of course I totally butchered S5 again with a 24.9, which was still good enough for a 2:39.9. In other words, there is already a new carrot dangling in front of me 🤣
I guess I will take a break for a couple of days and then decide if I try to attack again depending on both the global and my friends board.
So, your turn guys, see you soon
Edit: forgot the lap ...
Yeah, that just about sums it up, it's a mind-blowing event too.The croissant TT is a soul eating event....

It's not all that bad guys, it just needs a different approach then a mega slidy roadcar or a sticky car on rails.Yeah, that just about sums it up, it's a mind-blowing event too.
I think I did well to continue a little without getting upset and by approaching braking and curves as calmly as possible and by accelerating when the car (or the boat) is as straight as possible.
I further improved my time to 2'40'567 with an optimal time of 2'40'333.
I'm not going to flood you with videos of my best laps next time, so enjoy if it helps some pilot friends here.

Thanks a lot my dear friendThat is fire mon ami, a while ago you did suddenly changed your approach or something, or it's just the french baquettes, croissants and bouquet de crevettes??
This is a fairly fast and not that easy combo If you ask me, hitting top 500 is seriously a good job! Very nice to see you climbing up the board lately 💪💪
Brutal time mate... That's way out of my reach, I don't have that kind of patienceAnyway, rocketed into the 1:32s today
Wow Dan, you must have been drinking a bunch of Monster Energy drinks to give you superhero fire powers, you once again blew this TT to shreds, way to go man!! I see you avoided that pesky rod thing. Well I feel like it's game over every time I go through Turns 1-3 and the very last turn before heading to the finish. I'm glad you enjoyed this but I didn't really find it that enjoyable. Probably because I'm not finding that secret groove like the rest of you guys are, but that's okay. I'm tempted just to stick with my bronze time even though I'd like to keep pushing like a bulldozer to silver.Hello friends! After a really nice weekend away with family it was back in the hot seat this evening; mission top 100 at Nurburgring sprint. I really like this one, lots of car control using weight transfer, brakes and power but when you get the GTR Moving around with its natural balance it’s quite an enjoyable thing to hoon around. Tucks in nicely with a dab of brakes and sport medium tyres mean slightly overdriving it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s game over every corner.
Smooth is fast though and any wheel spin seems to lose you loads of time which is odd considering the sophisticated four wheel drive system the R35 has! Anyway, rocketed into the 1:32s today with just the second half of that tricky first sector to crack: I might try once more but that delicious VGT challenge is too tempting I fear!

A bulldozer would still have better weight transfer than that GT-R... if only we could swap its engine...(...) I'm tempted just to stick with my bronze time even though I'd like to keep pushing like a bulldozer to silver.
There would be no one faster than me in a dozer.A bulldozer would still have better weight transfer than that GT-R... if only we could swap its engine...

Let's do so then, we would all get gold medals, xD.A bulldozer would still have better weight transfer than that GT-R... if only we could swap its engine...

Sounds fun, I currently own a Hyundai Coupe Siii and had Michelin Alpin6 tires fitted two weeks ago IRL 😂 the Genesis Coupe is the car I have been looking to buy IRL for a long time just the cost stopping me 😅MICHELIN Alpin Challenge 2024 Time Trial Opening on Friday, 18 October! - Gran Turismo™ 7 - gran-turismo.com

Welcome back, it's nice to see you time trialing with us on this journey, good luck everyone. I'm curious to know where our next TT will take place. We know it won't be St. Croissant, xD. It's too long of a track for me and I have to memorize and remember where all the turns/corners are plus I have to know the right braking and throttle points.Hi guys! Jesus it’s been more than a year since I last posted a TT time 😱
I did some laps yesterday with the new GT-R around the Nürburgring short and I found that it’s kinda hard to get below the 1:33 mark. So currently with a 1:33.4xx.
Good luck everyone!
