You are making some serious progression there bud!, well done!Decided to try the Toyota again at Le Mans… as my learned friend above notes, the Hyundai can be a bit of a handful under braking in a couple of corners, whereas the Toyota is much more stable. Conversely, it’s harder to get the power down in the GR010, so I had to undo a few Hyundai habits. Picked up another 3-4 tenths to get under 3:09!

Optimal splits suggest there’s more in the tank, so will give it another run next weekend

Keep going!! Maybe you'll get to your goal by tomorrow evening. Just keep running laps and take some breaks inbetween if you have to.
That should be secure enough, just watch it everyday and see how it fluctuates depending on if the aliens improve. Hopefully they won't given the length of the course. How are you progressing on the other TT? I haven't been paying attention to the TT news.
Very fast time indeed. Congratulations!...The reason being is those last few sequences of turns after the Porsche curves where on a controller you lose a lot of time as it isn't possible to carry the same speed as a wheel through those turns due to an issue with controller in this game when it comes to curbs. ....

So, with controller there is this problem when you try to go over curbs, the tires kind of lock in place and stops the car from turning in. I believe this also was a problem in GT Sport and it still seems to be a problem in this game too. This is not the case with wheel however and this gives controller a big disadvantage on tracks like Le Mans where going over the curbs at the last few turns is the beneficial line to take for a faster exit but it does not work so you have to slow down more which loses lots of time. This was also a problem a while back at Kyoto Reverse with the Bugatti VGT (Gr.1) if you remember that time trial and it was also a problem with the Red Bull X2019 at Road Atlanta. These are the main two I can remember but I think there was some others too.Can you explain a bit more what you mean "issue... controler... curbs", thanks.
Got a chuckle out of this.… Praying it holds for Gold
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!? fight mode on!!! my optimal times are 3.09.low but I cannot nail it in one lapWhile (almost) everybody is talking of 'burnout' - not me, not yet
During the last 3 days i did about 1500 Km at Le Mans! I really love that one! And i even like the GR010, it's very predictable.
The 1st 2 days i spent most of the time finding a faster, safer way to survive sector 1 and 'Tertre Rouge'.
In those 2 sectors alone i found 0,7 seconds! But it's very hard to replicate those sector times. Usualy i'm good at one and rubbish in the other.
Yesterday i turned the sector time display off and just drove. That let to more consistant lap times. But i still got at least one sector where i bin the lap. Although optimals show i can do good 3:09 laps

And there's a new GTP member at my friends list. Yesterday afternoon he was in front of me with a bit more than a tenth. But with my best german precision i changed that

Sorry @LANDO![]()
Get well soon! That's not the way I want to dominate you... 🤣 Maybe you can use this forced pausing to create some liveries because that's when a pad is better than a wheel... Best wishes!Awesome to see all the progress here and just pushing against our own boundaries. Genuinely cool to see 🔥🔥
Some bad news/good news. I ended up twisting my right ankle over the weekend. Definitely one of those freak things - was carrying my son at the park, stepped off a curb and just landed in a gap where two bits of pavement didn’t match up. I went down immediately; He landed on me so he’s fine 😀 With the level of pain, I thought for sure I had broken my ankle but x-rays indicate no fracture. I’m lucky, although hitting the accelerator (both in real car and in sim) isn’t do-able until it heals a bit more. Unfortunately may need to sit out a few time trials to let it rest and heal. A chance I’ll show up with some pad laps if I can get the hang of it! I’ll be back when I’m off the injured reserve 😃 @Gorefast my revenge will have to wait 😝
Find you a hyperbaric chamber, stat!I’ll be back when I’m off the injured reserve 😃
I am done with TT until next Thursday, I could get a 3:09:xxx in Lemans but I have to risk it and I end up always frustrated with the track limits, but I’m happy I can dominate a Gr1 so “easily”View attachment 1455824
