Wow, I've been away from GT7 for 10 days, and there have been 40 pages of posts on this thread since then!

At least I had my gold on the GT-One sewn up before I left, but I had only run one brief stint in the McLaren on Suzuka which had only resulted in bronze.

I guess I have a few hours left to get my act together, and, to answer @Evilmuffin 's question, get my time under 1:39.541.

Wish me luck!

So close... yet so far!

1.35.250 (TCS1) 🎮

Nice combo for me I know the route and the car is pretty straight forward.

The world record by @EbrahimX7 who else looks already promising and on top he maybe got a chance of heart ❤️ and shared his replay I like that.

My personal goal should be a 1.34.xxx here …to be continued…😎

 

[Evilmuffin]

Gold for now. Haven't figured out how to drive it yet....as I can't seem to get the car to rotate during turn-in 🤔

 

[Interemptor]

The understeer is strong in this one 💀 😂 Bought that car for the trophy some weeks ago and sold it right after. Not big on Jaguar and after some laps I doubt that I will become a fan 😂

1:37.220 after the first couple of laps. Gotta check out @Tidgney s guide to see where I have to break 😅


edit: 1.3s faster after 1lap. Jesus my braking was way off 😂

 

[2cam16]

I don't know about this new one. I'll give it a go though.

 

[seadog777]

Survived Suzuka with bronze (barely), glad to see it gone and loving the new one.
Made silver for an hour or so, then Jeddah put in a lap and put me back to bronze.
13 days left to try and improve!

 

[SPL170db]

I'm in there with a 1:34.8 at the moment, but there's definitely improvements to be made to make that time a little bit safer.

Hit or miss in every lap but there is still loads of time to gain if the consistency comes.

It's actually not that bad after a couple of laps

 

[newmedia_dev]

It's hard doing back to back laps as I always miss the braking point going in to the next lap 🤣

Sadly no, I sold it to some dude from Brittany. Still can't believe he bought the thing it was proper piece of junk...

Would you sell the wheels separately? I don't like the stickers.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realise this wasn't Facebook marketplace... 🤦‍♂️

Shaped a few tenths but still not happy 😆

Forst test in Autodromo de Interlagos with a time at 1'35'705 with optimal time at 1'35'335

 

[MUC76]

I won't even start the car before it turns smooth in your hands 😜

I feel your pain I did 430 miles last night and still couldn’t improve my time. I got very close to matching it all of 3 times. I found some improvement in the first 2 sectors but never managed to get the last 2 tidy.

So now it’s back to Georgia and try to change silver into gold.

 

[Pesselles]

Sadly no, I sold it to some dude from Brittany. Still can't believe he bought the thing it was proper piece of junk...

Not yet tried on Interlagos but I'm sure my "wreck" can be shiny again... (hope so)

Worth to mention: the Ecurie Ecosse livery is also available for the XJ13: a Brit car under a Scot flag and driven by a French...

 

[Jeje6410]

Improve my time in Interlagos with gold medal at 1'35'244 with @Evilmuffin 's ghost !!!!

 

[Pesselles]

So now it’s back to Georgia and try to change silver into gold.

Good luck with the KTM, it's really joyful and fun to drive. Gold isn't easy but doable with dedication and patience.

That exactly what I should since last week do but... clients first

Major understeer in this oldie, eh? Brake early and in a straight line, I think! Haven't tried it without TCS1 yet but this felt like an easy gold.

1:34.6xx if I remember correctly

 

[LSFDRX]

Spent some time at Suzuka yesterday and probably drove about an hour or so, but for some reason I got VR sick (despite never having an issue before). Probably due to the extreme spins coming from going off at 130R. I was jacked up for most of the day with a headache and nausea... not fun.

As for the TT it's so strange. I really enjoyed the car for the entire rest of the track, and never had any issue with anywhere else (degner 1-2 was never an issue at all for me), but 130R was such a failure point. I probably got 4 actual clean laps in that whole hour+ session. It just doesn't make any sense at all. It made what could have been a universally liked TT into a divisive and frustrating "challenge".

After all that I still managed to bring my time down a fraction from 1:39.541 to a .50 something, but I'm glad to move on.

I put a couple of laps into RA while I was feeling sick and found 26s after a couple laps, but I had to get out of VR as I felt terrible.

Congrats to everyone putting in work here. It was not easy.

 

[GlockPants]

Finally got a run at Road Atlanta. What a great combo!

Back into my normal routine of Day 1 with no guides or ghosts. Felt nice to get Gold in one stint compared to the McLaren that took 4 days.

Tomorrow or Saturday, I'll watch some replays and a lap guide to see how I might be able to improve.

The Jag looks like it could be fun, too. So probably not going to try to get super deep into Gold at RA.

 

[Chris30]

Lol, 800 pages in this forum! I don't even want to know what the new TT is, surprise me! I gave up on the Suzuka one, another bronze is coming to me. I just couldn't find any good reference points for braking and cornering.

Ugh, already saw, the setting is at Interlagos!

 

[LSFDRX]

I just couldn't find any good reference points for braking and cornering.

Tidgney and others put up literal highlighted markers to guide you... you just have to adhere to the advice and make a lap happen.

I know you put a LOT of time in these TTs, but I worry that you're not changing enough to improve. Like I said before, slowing down and finding a balance with the car, and finding your braking points (too fast brake earlier, too slow brake later) should lead to confident and quick laps.

A number of people have given you a LOT of great advice, but the challenge is taking it in and applying it to your driving... not continuing to make the mistakes that are keeping you from silver/gold.

Watch the guides, follow the ghosts, and MAKE IT HAPPEN!

 

[newmedia_dev]

Where ever Tidgney brakes, brake 50ft earlier!

Where ever Tidgney says accelerate do it a half second later.

If you are following a ghost the aim is not to "beat it, or out brake it" the aim is to keep up and keep that visual gap close.

My strategy exactly...😄 and it worked...👍

New one is fun. Seems not harder than the KTM (hope that one holds with 2,71% and a good quarter second to the gold limit). I just cruised around Interlagos for some laps to find braking points. Of course the top time will go down but mine will too. Started to brake too early and learn from there. TC1, no CSA or stability management for me up to now.

Congrats for your new gold, it's a (bad) habit ^^

Your score is my reference, thanks for sharing Alex !!
