And I was just showing that you can pseudo manage the gearing in AT I just happened to do it because I wanted to see if I could do a gold time using AT.

oh sorry I did not get that, but I fail to see how you can choose in which gear you exit turns when the gearbox is AT.

It’s the amount of braking and coasting, you can also use the throttle to keep the revs just high enough to stay in a higher gear.

Conversely if you want a lower gear you can lift and brake slightly with then minor lifting to manage the revs below the shift point.

I never used the triggers when I was a controller player but I assume it’s the same as pedals in the fidelity.
 
New test in Deep Forest :
Improve my time at 1'48'729 with optimal time at 1'48'6xx

Definitely need to try, and lower that time, before the aliens push me out of gold.

that's funny, that is exaclty the time that @crome's plugin is showing for me, while I've never had this time on this TT, I was at 1:50.313 yesterday and am at 1:49.684 today.

Not sure how it happens.

Ooh this is weird. Are you sure though that you didn't set the 1:50.168 time in the same stint, just shortly before your 1:49.684? Because that would totally explain it. The plug-in would have just collected data in the middle of your session, and the next run is only two hours later.
 
First round of the new TT went pritty well.

This car is fun enough and slow enough for my CPU being able to process what happens.

Question:
since couple of TT I gave myself a chore to inspect the car setup to figure out the proper gear shift timing, instead of moneky-copying tidge.
And.... no way I was able to do it here, I cannot pop up the picture with CV,torque trend against revs
Assuming it's not just me, what's the process to determine it without the picture?

Ah I did not know your tool could collect data while I am driving !

Indeed my lap 3 was 1:50.168

Never happened to me before to see a different time in your plugin than the best lap from previous session or from last one.

Although I look at the percentage vs the top driver and it's about my level now

Indeed. I think this is going to be like a Gr.4 TT, where 1% off the top lands you 500th rather than 50th.

I was quite surprised at how loose the rear end is. Full cheat mode (CSA, not ASM) on, as I couldn't be bothered spending the time to tame it.

Yeah, it's just periodically pulling data from GT7's servers. Every 10 minutes for the top 2,000 or so, and every two hours for all the rest to save bandwidth. And since GT7's servers are updated instantly with each new fastest lap you set and not just at the end of a session, this can totally happen.

My thought process exactly, why spend several hours on it without aids with its stupidly agro rear end when you can run a lap on day 1 with CSA and have it still holding P3 as we speak 😎.

Just adding, I complemented CSA with weak ABS. Having default ABS on made the car feel like a brick.

I usually understand humour but I don't understand this comment. Maybe a problem for me, sorry if so

I love that how an incredibly quick (massive understatement when I read that back!) driver is using assists. I think you mentioned it before but gives us all hope!

Morning folks,

Had some Mazda laps this morning.
The CSA makes it a bit better indeed also on the pad, but when you realy start to explore the limits of the car it feels kind of weird, the rear feels sort of to smooth when it starts oversteering it's almost like slowmotion, but when you give it a mini tint input to much and then lift off throttle it bites you or something.🤣,

Did manage to get a descent lap on the board though, fastest last tunnel split was a .601 so still time to find but this is not going to be 2 weeks of fun for me 😉

So CSA at strong ABS weak
