Time Trial Discussion

Yep, that's it for me with the Gr3 around Suzuka. Gr3 is just too sweaty for me.

Although this may be one of my better laps at Suzuka, I choked the final chicane and left 2 tenths on the table. Could have been on for a .6 but the pressure got to me and I missed the braking point for the chicane and went a bit wide.

Gave 3 different cars a try, firstly the RCF which I found to be a bit of a boat, moving to the AMG gave me an immediate improvement of 3 tenths. Last night I tried the M6, but that also felt pretty boaty, but it can take 130r flat for some reason which is a bonus. In the end returned to the AMG for the best lap, it has a substantially more aggressive turn in than the others and just generally more pleasant to drive, especially through S1 and 2.

Split times are against a 59.075 for reference

280 kms and can’t make it through della Roggia. Nothing kills the joy of driving or racing more than chicanes.

Try 500kms, and you can make a pretty risk free bet that making through della Roggia will be immediately followed by not making it through the Lesmo's.

Yeah, I am at 500 now. It’s so dreadful.

Want to completely undo your work and ruin the track you’ve built? Add a chicane to it.

I find Eiger very difficult, the second last corner is eating me alive, cannot break gold. You are a full second up on me.

The entire final sector of this track has a difficulty level approaching insanity!

Get it slightly wrong and you lose minimum 1 tenth. That's If you're line isn't compromised, If your line becomes compromised you lose half a second.

I'm just relieved I was able to bank a mid .4 so I can maintain my DG Edge score.

New challenge up. Maybe early because of the update tomorrow?

This is important for the Opel (from the patch notes), managing boost is going to be a pain:

isn't update today ? usually is Thursday but this one is one day earlier, right?

Also...

wait... do we have 6 (SIX) TT at same time.... @Famine do you have a template for 6 TTs

 

[half_sourly]

isn't update today ?

I didn't realise and yes, it appears it was today. Odd that they moved from Thu to Wed. And it is not because they'll all be on the beach tomorrow:

Q: Is tomorrow a significant day in Japan?

A: No, tomorrow, September 25th, is not a national holiday or widely recognized observance in Japan. The most recent significant day was Autumn Equinox Day (Shūbun no Hi) on September 23rd, which is a national holiday marking the change of seasons and a time for visiting family graves and honoring ancestors. The next public holiday in Japan after that will be National Foundation Day on February 11, 2026, followed by the Emperor's Birthday on February 23, 2026.

Road Atlanta would have to be the worst track to TT in. Ever.

Tonight is a Playstation State of Play, so the gaming headlines tomorrow will be full of that. PD probably wanted to have their content (and Opel collab) get a bit of airtime beforehand.

6TTs? Madness!

On Wednesday, when I saw the challenge, I said to myself, ‘Try to get the silver medal and that will be good’... and after a few laps, I hadn't changed my mind, quite the contrary...😅

I waited for the guides from Tidge and Mistah, as well as a few videos from aliens, to understand how to quickly pass the right/left of S1... and I exceeded all my expectations...🤔😂

I just made it into gold territory, but with an optimal time of 1' 16.000...!! What a surprise... So I pushed a little harder to get to 1'16.322...😂😂

That should be enough, so I can focus on the two new TT...

 

[Gomario JSP]

Well the Alantra is quite a pleasant drive, bit weird the first few laps but once you get used to it it's a lot of fun!

10th was such a good thing to see 🤣🤣
Didn't last that long though 🤣

Eventually got some extra time, lets see were this gets me 🤣

is there any sort of real world example of anything like this or is it just some straight up Wipeout silliness?

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial: Hit for Six​

An absolutely bumper crop of events is now available in the Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial section, with this week’s early update seeing two new challenges added to the list alongside the regular Thursday events and some special events...

 

[newmedia_dev]

The 2 new ones.....

 

[samsaoule]

lol.....well, the Elantra is pretty easy, even for me, so for a lot of people....
obviously, it's going to go down.....and by a lot...

But with the Opel, the problem is that you have to boost it...
only it only works for one lap!!!... after that, it's empty...

I'm waiting for Tidgney's guide, which is currently P1, to find out how to use this thing... 😂 😂 😂
