It's a terrible car! The word that comes to mind to describe how it drives is "sproingy!" It's like it's riding on four of those springs Wile E. Coyote puts on his feet in case he runs off the edge of a cliff lol.Had my first session with the LFA. My word this is awful. I spent 15 minutes on it and failed to get a single lap. The thing just loves to not steer and go into a barrier. Of course you probably all know this by now; I’m late to the game.
Sproingy! You nailed it. That’s the best description to far. 😁
Btw when I got my G29 I found the low spacing between gas and brake pedal to be really uncomfortable, but there are YT tutorials on how to switch the brake with the clutch pedal. You might want to give that a try @ikon_313 . It's really easy to do even if your fingers are all thumbs (like mine)Ohhh.....and learn how to left foot brake
To mitigate the reaction of a poster above. I tried a G923, a VR2 and used AT for the first time the other day. And it was a great experience. Not sure about lap times, was missing gears, forgetting to shift, but I immediately had a lot of fun and the experience felt pretty lifelike.I fell victim.to the amazon prime days promo and ordered a G923
I have two right hands to (I'm a lefty). Still worked. Just saying.I do hope for you but I won't tell you for my controllers because I'll DEFINTINLY NOT open a controller to repair it.....Don't give me a screwdriver or a hammer, I'm terribly dangerous...
we totally agree(once again)
And you should be! MT is especially demanding here, lots of short gears, you never stay in the same one for more than a few seconds. It's like the NYC of time trials: if you make it here, you can make it anywhere!It takes a lot if time with these fast cars. The first 30 laps brought me nowhere near my old time. I didn't care too much as it's currently more about getting acquainted to MT. Still gold would be great. I'm a little proud already.

MT is almost mandatory too on Sardegna. And I'm sure @KAlex122 will be brilliant with the LFA.And you should be!

Still Sardegna feels harder on MT (tried some laps,the best was ,460 behind my best AT). My focus on MT hinders me from getting the corners right as the car is so heavy and weightshifting a real problem. I'm always too late and understeering in the corners.And you should be!

You got this, resist the temptation to go back to AT. The transition won't take more than two or three weeks, and then it'll be second nature. That's how it went for me anyway.
Well, the solution is obvious, right? Contrary to to popular belief, an old dog can learn some new tricksMT is almost mandatory too on Sardegna. And I'm sure @KAlex122 will be brilliant with the LFA.
On AT, I really suffer to see this heavy Lexus on an inappropriate gear when a short downshift could help her to gain a decent exit speed on critical turns. Maybe some excellent AT players will grab gold, I'm just unable

Jk, we had this topic before, I can totally relate to how sticking with what you're used to is more comfortable and fun, not everyone needs to challenge themselves all the time.
You certainly have, thank you. Even after the event, seeing how the people at the sharp edge do things is a great learning tool to take something from and apply in future TTs.
In Fuji I am half of a second behind @KAlex122 with MT. Shifting works great for me with the short way of my paddles of the McLaren wheel. Obviously the problem seems to be related with steering while using throttle and brake... I am quite happy with my time so far (around place 11.000) and send gratulations to everyone faster than me. Well done!Yes we had this topic, you're right
I've tried, honestly, I've tried. But...
I only blame myself I can't change decade of AT habits, and honestly, it's only a game. If I'm slower than many of you, it's fine as long it's still fun to play

Gladly but Jeddah needs to share his lap before TT ends 😊Give that man, the Nobel price of the TT comparaison on GT7 !!!
Your video is simply amazing, so so informative (if I watched it earlier, I could have improved my score, for sure
So next time, share your comparison before the end of the TT
TACK x 1.000!!!
Whoop whoop 😁😂
Can't say I agree with that really. I know with the G29 setting it to max torque is WAY too high for it. It's just saturated. I find 4 to be perfect. And 1 for sensitivity. Even at that setting the high downforce cars still have really heavy force effects.Also set the force feedback to its strongest since the 923 barely has any force feedback. Ohhh.....and learn how to left foot brake
