I’m enjoying this TT. Had a successful first day with the Mazda but the final sector is killing me! If I get a good launch down the back straightaway I am easily up a couple tenths; I’ll try more today. This is on ABS Weak, CSA Strong and TCS 0.

Good work fluff! I spent more laps than I care to admit trying to match your time today. Then I come here and learn everyone is gaining big time with CSA. I don’t say that to discredit you, just that I feel like a doof for missing this opportunity 🥲
 
Thank you @Wilsonson for sharing your lap! I am still at the mountain and although today was not my day for time trialing I could already improve massively. If you can find my new optimum among all the red numbers... 😆

I just watched your lap, impressive run. All your turns were really smooth, great work! You'll get to gold soon at that rate. Good luck mate. That sharp turn after the last tunnel always gets me. Either I run slam into the wall or I brake too early and lose valuable time. Never fails.

Is it even possible to get gold in these races with the controller?

The difference between the wheel and the controller arent that bad in most of the combo's, so no excuse :) :lol:
i am at 47.641 on the Duelsense and should be still some time to find but is still top 100
There are some real fast controller users in the top 100, Calster is a controller user to for example.
( makes guides on youtube to btw )

So.... yes :)

And Tidgney has a few times now on his weekly guides shown that gold with a controller is possible on his first lap with the controller. Which he uses only once a week.

All that said regarding it being possible, don't beat yourself up if you cannot get gold (or any medal for that matter). Over the 166 events so far, 89.4% of drivers on average do not get gold and 75.4% don't even get silver.

You are right to remind us of this, our perspective here is skewed towards the top of the ranks.

But something we don't know is how hard those who did not get medals tried. As an example, on the last monthes, I barely did more than one lap on each TT, if I even tried the TT, and I've just driven more some combos I've found more enjoyable. So most of the time it was a quick and easy way to get some credits, one lap for 250k and sometimes a few more to reach 1M, plus some rare occasions, like the 12R right now where I got close enough to gold quickly and with a combo I enjoy so I insisted a bit more.

And those stats, not only involve a lot of people who barely tried just to get a few bucks, but also concern a small percentage of player base.
