Time Trial Discussion

[skydragon49]

They've done that plenty of times in the past.

Since I started doing TT regularly, it's the first time I see it coming out as early as that. Sorry for that. 😐

I tought it was funny because somehow it may give players a chance to practice before the registration period starts? 🤔

(Even though it would be pointless to start hot lapping before the registration time window)

Interesting. Didn't drive in in GT7 yet but in Forza the KTM was always great to drive 🤔

 

[2cam16]

Cool,I like RA and the X-Bow.

No need to be sorry for anything, just letting you know.

 

[Dan_Tes]

Nice job, man. What's your S2 split on that 31.424 time?

Cheerssss, 28.51-28.57 is my usual range although I’m getting better at hairpin T6 not overcooking it at entry

Felt really good today a Fuji but two super fast times struck off due to the tiniest of track limits, it’s really a cruel pursuit. I did set a new PB though, I want to get another shot at a 1:31.2xx before the trial ends 🙃

 

[half_sourly]

FML.

Nope, no idea what that means.

indicates something less than enthusiasm for this new TT. lol

Yea, like TumeK5 said they seem to 'leak' the next TT early from time to time. However, one cannot enter to start it until the official time anyway.

Heck, there was a point where they showed like the next four of them (I think that was over the Xmas holiday time-frame if I recall which is probably why). But, again, couldn't actually start doing them until the official time. It was neat to see them in advance, though.

Nope, no idea what that means.

[Something] My Life. I'll let you fill in the blank for what the "F" stands for.

Ah. As someone who doesn't use social media, has no children and does not use text shorthand, I've just about figured out ROFL. Anything beyond that I have no idea.

Haha! Exactly this.

The two current TT's are both circuits I struggle in, in cars I struggle in. Add in a twitchy go kart on a circuit I'm again fairly unfamiliar with which also has a lot of elevation change, and my enthusiasm levels are below the floor...

 

[330_D]

I used to dislike RA and I still struggle occasionally depending on the car but it is a lot of fun with a good setup. Great, flowy track with just enough spice.

I feel just an old guy not used these abbreviations, unless I need to figure out what my daughters are trying to tell me

[luckii95]

Ohh, I think the next one could be fun but very frustrating with track limits, especially in turn 2 & 5.
Still I want to improve around Suzuka, with very little time I'm able to spend this and the following week.

It's a good new this KTM in this new TT !!!! I love it. I had made a tune for this car in my garage in GT6, GTS and GT7 [in 600PP (SS) KTM X-BOW R '12 ] and it's a very good car to drive !!!!!

is it potable to drive or is it one of those cars that as soon as you touch the accelerator it starts off in a random direction?

I don't remember it well anymore because it's been a while (August 2022) since I made it. But if I remember correctly it had a tendency to trail behind, whether on GT6 or GTS

 

[half_sourly]

if it is anything like the one in Project Cars 2, then it is really good fun to drive. I seem to remember the gears were weird; either very long or very short.

 

[Interemptor]

Took it for a spin around RA after I saw that it's the next TT. Lots of fun to drive. The back can come loose when you hit the accelerator too hard but I don't think it will be an issue at all.

Can't wait for it 😅

 

[ZevZoq]

I think it's a very fun ride...and RA is a perfect track for it.

 

[Ed_Night]

Nice, looks like i can stop driving license tests for the next 2 weeks. 🤪😂

I'm just a bit worried about the chicane and the final 2 turns, there might be a big frustration potential. 🤔🙈

Ah nevermind, every time trial is pure frustration if you try hard enough. 😂


Talking about frustration...


...to be infront of Mr. Holland doesn't mean you got the world record. 🥲🥲😂

 

[Lomic]

Same player shoot again, again hitting the 1:35 wall 😞

Zero improvement.

70 laps in total on this TT

And to end the session with a nice note, DW 3* -> 5k

New TT

Wow, you know I was just thinking about if they were going to feature an KTM X-Bow TT a month ago because I haven't seen one for this game. I guess I manifested it. This should be much better than those dang VGT cars.

My internet went out at 8am and the tech guy didn't fix it until 2pm, so I could not play gt7 for six hours. It's working, now I'm pushed for time.

I'll be expecting a Gold from you then, Nostradamus!

 

[PlanetJanet]

Final day at Fuji so thought I better at least give it a go. Gave myself one hour to do the best I could, can't say I enjoyed it but I'm happy enough with the outcome and sincerely hope never to go back to sector 3 ever again.

 

[Chris30]

You're on. I think this will suit me better because the X-bow is a slow pleasant car to drive. Now to start learning each section of Michelin RW.

 

[BWX]

First attempt at Suzuka (early this morning, gold time has gone down since), following Tigney's ghost on flat screen / wheel.
I think it was 0.3 seconds ahead, resetting each sector. Might have been 0.4 sec, not sure.
(vid below).

First tried with no CSA, then tried some laps with CSA on weak. I don't think I've ever used CSA on an online TT, and I only used it on the SPA final license test with the old Porsche in the wet to gold that one.

Got this silver time with CSA weak (1:40.203), and went back to no CSA and almost did the same time, but about 0.05 slower (140.25x).
Went back to CSA weak and could do very close to this lap but didn't beat it yet.

Pretty sure with my perfect lap I could get gold or close to it but it'll take a lot more laps and figuring some more corners out.
It seems like a lot of time to make up but I usually bomb one or two corners that if I nailed, could make a up large chunks of time.
Like at Spoon, I'm pretty slow out of there.

I'm using my auto DRS mod - (Rubber band on GT DD X L2 button, but not too tight!)
So silly! 😅

I think I figured out 130R but it's not always a given I'll make it through. Then you can only do 2 laps at a time which interrupts flow.

I might not gold this one which will be a first since I got more serious about these TTs and actually started trying to gold them all. This one is tough!
I'll have to study some more alien laps, I still haven't even nailed down which gears to use on some corners so that should help.

Also VR usually helps me find some time, might try that too.

This might be the end a long gold streak though which wouldn't be the end of the world, but I'll try again for sure.

 

[Hasnain282]

Managed to get sub 1:38.5 at Suzuka, took me way too many laps though I seem to put more effort into wacky combos.
Thanks to @Dan_Tes method for 130R, the corners I ended up struggling with the most ended up being T1 and Degner 1.
That said I did find that doing the downshift and upshift before 130R was quicker, you did have to be slightly careful with the turn but the car somehow seemed to handle it
There was more time in the lap but don't think I have the pace or patience to get a 37

just the slap in the face you deserve after a session like that!

 

[TumeK5]

Even though I wouldn't be denied of gold, I felt that my ~2,5 tenth gap to cut-off was not good enough, so I decided to go again for another hour and a half. Could've gotten a 1:32.4 at least, but I kept screwing up at least one sector in the lap, usually S2.
