Gran Turismo Sport Time trial

[Greboth 2,721]

I know the track quite well as it is a popular choice online but I’ve never driven it with a gt3 car.

 

What cars did you try? I could use the Jaaaaaag I used before but fancy trying something different.

The one I seem to like the best is the 911

I heard you say Jag like that in my head.


Nice time Phil. At least I have a few Gr.3 cars this time round to try!

[Greboth 2,721]

Nice, let’s make this a tight competition for the top spot  

[techno 3,509]

First attempt I've got down to a 1.44.3 no way is it a clean lap, I  was a second up on another run but the ghost car put me off into last corner 

 

Decent time for me though 

[Greboth 2,721]

Not a bad time to start with and if you can improve by a second already that would be excellent.  I didn’t know you could have a ghost car though, I must have turned mine off and not realised.

[phil bottle 9,742]

lol yeah the ghost car can be annoying but I've kept it in.

Out of interest, what aids does everyone use? I’m thinking of doing some laps with auto gears, traction control set higher etc to see what the time difference is.

[phil bottle 9,742]

I keep traction control at 3 but that's all.

 

Try the Lexus on this track, it's an even better drive than the the 911.

You’re still using manual gears? How are you getting on with then now?

 

I tried the Ferrari 458 Gr.3 out.  It drivers quite different than the 458 Gr.3 especially out of the slower corners.  I also have a Gr.3 BMW to try out but I’ll have to try the 911 or the Lexus too.  Got to find one I really like before really going for lap times.

[techno 3,509]

Im using the AMG GTR. Fastest lap was with traction control set on 4.

[phil bottle 9,742]

I was hitting 1:41s last night but I'll wait until I get a 1:40 before posting a time. Still only done a dozen laps or so. And sadly still on automatic.

I'm practising the manual gears but it's a whole new game learning the best times to shift and it'll take a while until I start posting decent times. But I like having a challenge so I'll keep at it.

Nice to see you getting your time down Phil.  If you get down to a 1:40, next stop is 1:39’s  

 

I still need to put in a few laps to get a proper fast time.  I might then do a few laps in high TC only, auto only and then both if I have enough time.

[Spacedeck 920]

Quick go before I try out OnRush, 1:39:624.

 

I have 17 Gr.3 cars to play with.  Currently liking the Corvette C7.

[Greboth 2,721]

Nice! Good to see times getting down in to the 1:30’s.  I guess a 1:30 something is my aim when I pull my finger out and do some laps.  I’ll try and fit some laps in tonight and post my time.

[Greboth 2,721]

So managed to fit in 11 laps last night and managed a 1:38.324.  I wasn’t being consistent though so probably could shave a little time off that too.  I’ll try and give it a go with tc on higher, auto gears tonight and see what time I set  

[phil bottle 9,742]

I was getting in the 1:39s last night when I had a go with the VW. Still on Automatic.

 

What I do now, is:

1. one decent lap without BOP enabled

2. use the ghost from the car above but switch back to BOP

3. follow the faster car and try and work out where I'm losing time

4. hey presto, better lapping

[Greboth 2,721]

Haha that isn’t a bad tactic, unless you use a car that is faster with BoP enable than not.  I might have to try that though, see if I can set an even faster time.

[phil bottle 9,742]

I think that 1:39.692 is maybe the best I'm going to do while driving automatic, I can shave a coupe of tenths off but i don't think I'll make the 1:38s.

 

I'll spend the next week just driving in manual and see how I go.

[Greboth 2,721]

Nice time @phil bottle I don’t know how much time manual will find you but it is quicker.  If you can get used to manual then things are going to get tight at the front.

 

Apologies for not posting a new combo yesterday, I got home too late and just needed sleep.  I will roll the randomiser when I’m home and post the combo.

[techno 3,509]

With time over Xmas I think I may try manual shifting on the next combo after getting a time in auto .

[Greboth 2,721]

So the next combo is

 

Car: N800

Track: Autodrome Lago Maggiore - West

Cheers though I'll miss GR3, those cars are a joy to drive [emoji106]

Yeah, I prefer the racing cars in racing games but fun to drive some of the road cars too.  All different ways to drive.

 

I don’t even know what cars are in N800 but I know they’re going to be fast!

[Greboth 2,721]

Damn this combo is a tricky one! I tried the Lambo out but didn't like it as I always felt like I was understeering too much but trying the Aston Martin Valkyrie out and I can't stop spinning the damn thing!
