After doing a 2:20,572 with the Elantra yesterday (with a "slow" S1 and a understeery final corner), i said to myself "a .4 and i'll be happy"...

...am i happy now? Hell Noo 🤬😂😂

The whole lap was really good except for one corner, but this one corner was so bad that i can't be happy with this. 🥲🤪

Please dont tell me it was the final corner!

Please dont tell me it was the final corner!

Haha no, i'm happy with the final sector, even if it is still slow compared to your amazing run through there.

I messed up the hairpin in S2, lost around 0,150s just at this one corner. 😭

However, I'm trying to get a fast lap in a Porsche 918 Spyder around the Nürburgring.

It feels almost impossible. The game has changed a lot or something, I don't know.

Sorry I confused with the 919 😅 not sure I've ever tried the 918 on the Nordschleife.

The most important thing is that you enjoy the trial... it has to be challenging but fun !
When I don't feel that it will be pleasant I give up even before to start...

I'm still playing some Gran Turismo, after all those years.

However, I'm trying to get a fast lap in a Porsche 918 Spyder around the Nürburgring.

It feels almost impossible. The game has changed a lot or something, I don't know.

Eventually managed to get in 1 clean lap. However it's just above the 7 minute mark. I know I did a sub 7 time, but haven't saved the replay to confirm it was clean.

That means I have got to try to get a (confirmed) clean lap in, sub 7.

What are your experiences with a car like this?? And especially on the Nürburgring?

Is it too fast, perhaps?

I like this car, it is very nice on the Nordschleife. Don't remember my lap times though.

Sorry I confused with the 919 😅 not sure I've ever tried the 918 on the Nordschleife.

What's the link here with the current Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial events?

I didn't know this thread was intended to talk exclusively about current online time trials (and I guess Niels neither).

Hey folks - hope everyone is doing well. Been offline for the last 3wks while we went back to the UK to renew our H1/H4 visas - great timing for those that follow the news on these things 🤣 but all went without a hitch and landed back in LAX last night.

Jet lag being what it is, I was awake at 4am this morning so 'granted' myself a little bit of track time before turning on the work laptop. After collecting Cr.8m in winnings(!) I jumped into the Opel, figuring it would be the tougher of thee two events ending tomorrow. Got the hang of it after a few laps though, but it's not a pleasurable experience and so got to target (by 0.001s) and called it a day.

Moved over the the 'Ring and enjoyed 20 laps over two runs in the Hyundai. In gold on the second lap (first was dirty) and got down to a competitive time quite quickly - think I'll run this one again before the end as there's still a few tenths on the table. Decent start though.

Replay saved and shared if someone is curious to watch.

Still one tenth in OPT but I think I have higher chance to win jackpot on lottery than to stich all best sectors inclusive than one tenth.
Regardless, pretty happy with time especially how tricky this one is on motion control / gyro.
