Had an another crack at the OPEL GSE TT and got this!!!

i still can't even crack 1:11. Can't understand that car. One told me the overtake feature can shave off 2 seconds a lap, but for some reason i can't feel any effect. Where to activate it?

As @mike_racing pointed out...

Hyundai is giving away one logitech G pro wheel and pedals and also two PS VR2 , who apply to participate in ElantraN TT and submit time, printscreen and save replay, and log that in on hyundai-n web page. See above link from Famine.

Just a reminder to very fast people here, @Metalgear9493 @bliprunner @Dan_Tes @ERAZER @NAXEHT @Ed_Night @Partymix007 and apologize to all others very fast ninjas for not listing all your tags here...

What I want to say, as it is right now, some of you are there for a good nice prize, @bliprunner as example

Just saying.....

Cheers for the mention, If you didn't I wouldn't have known about it🤣. Coincidentally I did try one session on Thursday after not having touched GT7 in over a week, didn't look at a single replay and was only 1.5 tenths off at split 3 to the WR time while using incorrect gearing in one corner. So I'll certainly try and capture this prize, not that I'll keep it...

assign a convenient button on your controller to the function. The car has 4 seperate uses of boost. You'll hit the button 3 times on the long straight before the chicane and then one more time after the chicane heading to the S/F line. Then you'll quit and restart to try again since the boost doesn't refill without restarting. If you're like me you'll do it about 1 million times and then be stuck at 3.2% for eternity.

Hahha man that was annoying, laps felt perfect and always 1.08.4...every.....damn......time.

Try braking earlier and on the gas harder into 3, thats where I found the 3 tenths to get a 8.1

 

[eggmann]

I'm a half second below my target time. See you at the next track. Happy lapping!

 

[Aiko_Mac]

I would consider this to be a Monster lap for me! I hope my Tickford mates can put their Monster Mustang on the top step of the podium!

If someone is curious to see how it looks like to steer by tilting controller, here comes one lap with Elantra N on Nürburgring.

First go at Bathurst. Not a bad result, but I’m still losing a huge chunk of time coming out of Forest Elbow.

Optimal was a 2:16.3x. Don’t think I’ve the consistency to nail all sectors perfectly so probably won’t get that.

Ah now I see... P21

Morning folkieeess,

A nother session between the walls of terror...
had a little better result in the Mustang but not as good as could be 🤣

But did ran a faster lap than yesterday, bit more stable and not as nasty as it did look yesterday 🤣🤣

For the once who want to chase a low 15, replay saved under #MustangJSP, or in the friends collection ofcours 😁

@Barareklam nice lap!, good sector 3 split, that exit onto the mainstraight def. did cost you a sub 21 mate!
Maby ill go again, don't know yet, kind of not motivated to get back 🤣

@Metalgear9493 yeah, don't keep it! donate it 😁😁🤣🤣

 

[ikon_313]

Yesterday I Improved my lap in the afternoon, so close to the 14s. My optimal is a 14.8 so there is still a teeny tiny bit of time left in this before I hit the limit of my talent. Will keep trying to chip away!

Super tidy lap young lad! Hope you'll earn your alien badge this time around👽

Mid session stats from today:

I love this track. It's like a mix of Nordschleife and Tokyo Expressway.

I'm the first person to jump on this but.... You can always use my address 😂😂😊

Best places I found is after the chicanes going downhil and then over the crest, and then again after the two right handers before the long straight, you lose so much time on the long straight at Road Atlanta, use up the overtake/boost there. Give it a try and let me know. @Tidgney is most helpful for this.

Farewell my dear Stratos, I know things between us didn't start (well) on the right foot, but eventually we managed to put our little disagreements aside and win another golden nugget

At the beginning of this week, I was just about ready to settle for a Silver on this Time Trial... until I made the wise decision of coming back to it for another push and, hopefully, improve my time.
I did have to rely on Traction Control to keep the thing nice and steady.
Traded a 1:17.093 for a 1:16.404, which was good enough for Gold but definitely NOT the safest gold I've scored so far... I was just 1 tenth above the target so I did sweat a little bit but thankfully the World Record didn't change so welcome 2 million credits!!

Now, the Elantra at the Nurb:

What a nice surprise this car is, really like the way it handles and that engine is pretty good as well, overall this is a sedan with a very sporty attitude despite its weight.

Might not be as capable or wild as a Civic Type R, but nonetheless it's definitely NOT a boring Hyundai. If the real life Elantra is anything near as good as this, then Hyundai seems to be doing a very good job atm, they're not just EVs all day long, apparently they also know how to make a very well built sporty sedan!

My Gold medal here seems to be quite safe so, my job here is done. Next stop might just be that american pony car on a hillclimb down under, uuhffff sounds like the perfect recipe for disaster

I reakon we have more grip than they did in 1992. One of the all time great "leave nothing out there" laps from the late, great, Peter Brock. 5 litre v8 like baby Jesus intended. Watch it.

This is an awesome post - Thank you for sharing… it’s inspiring to see him locked-in and pushing the limit. I didn’t realize he was 46 when he did this!! Gives my 41-year old self some hope 😂 Also… amazes me how detailed and true to life some of these tracks are modeled in GT7.
