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!

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.
