Ah I see! I guess I've never viewed a vid that was uploaded that close to the viewing!
What's your best time on Willow Springs using a DualShock?
Yeah, ...I like the big Willow, but this version is the worst track of GT7.Is there a worse circuit in the game than this Willow Springs dog ****?
That's a pretty big assumption to make - there are many controller users in this thread who seem to do pretty awesome without a wheel - I'm not one of them lol. I think @Grimm6Jack might change your mind on the topic lolI reckon this is much more difficult than the Olympic or N24 time trials for controller players. You cannot drive the car in the same way as players using a wheel. It's like playing a different game. I'm lol'ing at what the ghost cars can do.
The above lap is on a controller1:15.335 at Willow. I'll be surprised if the time could stay on top for more than a day, but I'll take it

Though yes you cannot drive in the same way as the wheel, can't turn in as quickly especially in the high downforce cars but controller does tend to have better tractionI reckon this is much more difficult than the Olympic or N24 time trials for controller players.

I've got 23 golds in time trials using DS4.

I usually to do it on the second week due to limited time and I like to let the WR settle a bit so I have a better idea of what a gold time will be. With the 2 staggered concurrent TTs I obviously prioritise the one expiring first but only focus on one at a time (with the exception of the olympic TT). I just have to squeeze in a bit more time for the more challenging ones like both of the current ones which I am not looking forward to because my time is even more limited for the next 2 weeks.Just tried SF23 at Autopolis. Dude. What a deathtrap this combination is... I see this easily being one of my worst ones so far. Tried it now because as far as I’m concerned this one begins now, once TT27 N24h ended. Seven days... [irony]great[/irony]. Thanks, folks who asked for this and PD who listened.

Or are some of you doing two at the same time? No dialling in and out? Giving up one or the other?
Yeah, I usually hop on later like you but it was nice with a bit of breathing room in between them, especially with challenging ones and/or those one’s put a lot of effort in.I usually to do it on the second week due to limited time and I like to let the WR settle a bit so I have a better idea of what a gold time will be.

I feel like you forget not everyone takes the TT's as seriously and diehard as you do. I just do them part for fun/money and part for leaderboard competition. Most people are evidently in a similar boat, based on the widespread praise PD got for having 2 run alternatively now. 7 days is more than enough time to at least push for the medal goal you want, which is the only actual in-game incentive.Yeah, I usually hop on later like you but it was nice with a bit of breathing room in between them, especially with challenging ones and/or those one’s put a lot of effort in.
As you touch upon, time isn’t endless and there’s not always the possibility to play for hours on a daily basis. Anyone can hop on and bank a decent lap but a decent lap isn’t what you’re looking for in a time trial. It’s those final tenths that take the most time.
Fair enough point lol, I guess I’m swimming upstream with the DS5I've got 23 golds in time trials using DS4. I think I'm allowed to express an opinion.
You should be able to manage it.100%. I'll be torturing myself with more laps of the Nurburgring tonight! I managed silver - is that enough for gold on CE??
I gave it a go, late into my session. I managed to JUST get silver with a 1:44. I'll need a few runs to get that down to 1:37...You should be able to manage it.
I did the CE and TT simultaneously. The CE is a bit frustrating with the retries because of the failure conditions, having to restart from the beginning of the lap every time. The BMW isn't the car I'd prefer, in VR you can't really see the shift light, unless you don't want to see out the front.
I managed to gold the CE by about 1 second quicker than the required time and was 3.8% off the top time in the TT. If that gives you a reference point.
Depends which are on. When RBR and Deep Forest overlapped, I did a quick session to get gold at RBR then did only Deep Forest because there the goalposts were smaller, my gap to safety smaller and the top time kept moving. I would have preferred to spend more time at RBR as it was far more fun.Or are some of you doing two at the same time? No dialling in and out? Giving up one or the other?
Depends on the TT at the time, but I prefer to focus on one. Right now I've gone from the Nurburgring 24h TT to the Willow Springs TT. The Autopolis one doesn't suit me in the slightest, so it's a big NO from me.Just tried SF23 at Autopolis. Dude. What a deathtrap this combination is... I see this easily being one of my worst ones so far. Tried it now because as far as I’m concerned this one begins now, once TT27 N24h ended. Seven days... [irony]great[/irony].

Weirdly, I very much enjoy the flow of this reverse Willow layout - when I figured out where the track was
With more (well... any) trackside markers and objects, like Deep Forest or Dragon Trail -- imagine if this were plopped in the middle of a city -- this layout would be amazing.
Nurb GP and Fuji GP wish they had flow as good as this.
The Fugu Z is fine, but once again, I will pout angrily at whoever tunes the LSDs for BoP. Barely 300hp coming from an engine that's half asleep sending its power to very wide and sticky road tires. Am I to believe me that it still slips in the corners under power?
Fine. I'll accept another scolding from the BoP tuner that my throttle discipline has all the grace of an angered gorilla, but really?![]()
