🤑 THIS was very HARD... but this guide should HELP!!.. || Time Trial Guide - Week 26 2024

[@TyLeJack]

You know it’s tough when the top 10 are barely 1 second clear of Gold, I knew I was in for it

[@Tigers575]

You know it's impossible for me on pad when even Tidgney gets a time that is currently NOT gold. Of course he could improve and make it. I simply can't. I'm around 2800th which usually is in middle gold times, but still silver and can't see how to improve on pad.

[@tidgney]

It's a ridiculously hard challenge, don't quite understand why they insist on this car as it's ridiculously hard on a pad.

[@Tigers575]

@@tidgneyIn the end I managed to beat your time and enter gold, hope it stays like this until the end. It's been a little easier once I understood that when lifting the car turns in much more. Still borderline impossible for an average player, for no reason.

[@TyLeJack]

I’ll give it couple more gos. I love the track very technical 1st sector. Coming over the hill to finish off the lap. I do love the online time trials it’s you vs you finding time around the track

[@K_Ma3iX]

@@Tigers575 Same here.. and I am not saying that I am good with the Steering wheel :( to maintenance high speed like this is quite hard at least for me.

[@DontForgetOldKolobok]

Managed a 1:00:772 (1:00:488) with a pad. Tbh I find trying to get quicker here quite fun but also pretty frustrating. It's made me realise how unrealistic/inconsistent GT7's physics are with a pad. Even on Maximum sensitivity, the steering is really slow for this car. Also you can't full lock the steering if you have the throttle open past about 10-15%, but if you lift the throttle, the car will suddenly turn. It's like they're trying to simulate understeer but also want the front tires to maintain grip. Just feels really awkward though. Nothing like understeer in RL

[@ruzgarakgul2051]

This one was pretty hard tidgy, thanks to your ghost I improved by an entire second and I just did a 1:00.940
Abusing the dirt like you did at where you did kinda fucked up my lap a bit because I’m on controller and also taking the exits of most corners on 4th gear really helped with traction
Also TC on 1 is also not really intrusive on this car so if anyone’s struggling with lower gears or traction while steering you should use it
My first lap was a 1:02.2XX, then I got a 1:01.7 then I did a 1:01.2, I went off to do the Gr.1 race at road atlanta for a bit of practice as well and when I came back in 30 minutes the gold time had moved by 0.3 seconds so I tried again and and got a sub 1:01

[@tidgney]

TC 1 can definitely help, thankyou for sharing!

[@danburdekin]

been a blast on PSVR2 this! been hard like but loads of fun!! not played GT7 for years like most on the leaderboards but i’ve managed 1:02:06, very happy with silver!
thanks for the guide tidge 👏👏💪

[@Jeff__Taylor]

Wow this is tough for me, I can't hardly even get silver much less gold!! ...I'm not a great driver by any means but I can usually get gold on these (56 so far) ...but this one? OMG 🤣 Thanks Tidge, your guides always help me!

[@gedt123]

I did soooo many laps to get the gold oh my! That was hard! And frustrating! And very fun actually. I ‘learned’ the track last year and that left right at the top of the hill in the 1st sector is still a lottery every time.

[@garethroberts4303]

Love this time trial! I prefer this one to the bmw one

[@3k3k3]

Ahh this track, it divides players into two groups, people that can look around corners, and me.. i hate it!

[@Targon999]

I drove like 2000 kilometers on this track back when there was the time trial with the porsche hybrid... since then I actually like this track 😂

[@3k3k3]

@@Targon999 i just miss the corners.. ALL THE TIME :)

[@Targon999]

@@3k3k3 do you use a pad or a wheel? With my old wheel I had massive problems on that track, then I got a fanatec and the corners got a LOT easier

[@3k3k3]

@@Targon999 Pad, please don't hurt me, the problem is not having visual clues, that takes so much more time to learn a track and even longer to master it :)

[@Targon999]

@@3k3k3 no problem at all, in fact I found that some challenges are easier to do with a pad, like the ferrari dino or anything that has to do with drifting

[@stormmeansnowork]

This one is one of those that are particularly hard if you drive on a controller using X and Square as acceleration and braking, and with the limitation of autoshift. Only manage a good silver time at the moment and that is already a top 5% ranking......

[@Farma_D]

Please explain why u would use x as acceleration over using the right stick..

[@stormmeansnowork]

@@Farma_D Limited skills basically. I can manage fractional input on the left stick with my left thumb but not so simultaneously with my right for the throttle. Trigger buttons are also out of the question for the same reason. The only thing I haven't tried is the steering wheel but my small Asian room does not allow me to use it... I know for some people it's a matter of practice, and I believe so for myself too (at least I get a decent time over 90% of the players), but there's a difference in how much time each person can spend on games unfortunately.

[@MrMeWilko]

I remember when this was an event and it was difficult. You make it look so easy on pad (I'm on t150 wheel & PS4) so fair play. Don't think I'll be able to follow you on this one so rank hard is accurate

[@DigidiBoom]

-0.400 from gold with no help.. and the track is kinda new for me , so in half an hour managed just that :D

[@eyeceman6995]

It's definitely a toughy... Currently at a 101.419 after almost 350 miles of driving. Had a 101.2xx and it just turned red on me at the end of the lap by like a pixel. 😢

[@eyeceman6995]

Update- I'm currently down to a 101.167, gonna try again tonight and see of I can get Gold 🤞😬

[@christopheryeo8052]

this car need to be brave to handle and full send in this track

[@wadegray2263]

I managed a 1:01.470 before i saw this vid so I'm going to try these tips to see if i improve
Edit: I have gotten a 1:00.6xx

[@tidgney]

I'm glad the video has helped!

[@TurboZHK]

This one is HARD! I usually get a time good enough for gold in an hour or two. These two however took me a full day and blisters on my fingers. I don't remember the last time I struggled this much for a lap time challenge... Now 1:00.7xx and 1:00.0xx, please let these time be quick enough.

[@The_BenboBaggins]

Yeah nah, I couldn't get to grips with this last time round and nothing is different this time! 😂

[@Targon999]

If you say it's hard I'm not sure if I should really try 😂

[@Chris75572]

Gee dude. You make it look easy...

[@soareleonard7570]

Mother of God...

[@bradconrad1961]

They’ve had this time trial before right? I swear this exact combo has been a time trial.

[@Luke-xi9zz]

I was thinking this. I swear I've done this about a year ago. Same car, same track

[@stormmeansnowork]

Yes it came before. If remember correctly in late 2022, not long before the TT at Nordschleife with NSX

[@theebbe3798]

Yes, you're right. I think the only difference compared to last time is that you're driving on Racing Softs instead of Racing Hards

[@ImDrawty]

Can only manage a 1:02:6 no matter how hard I try. Doesn’t seem to grip round the first corner at all no matter how hard I steer. 2nd corner I cannot nail. That’s where I lose all my time. Give up 😂

[@Barlemon]

Im currently 1300th in the leaderboard and still half a tenth off of gold what the hell

[@Molbuster]

I managed silver by 0.1 😆

[@lincolncampbell2014]

Why is it so hard? I only managed to do 1:03:670.

[@TurboZHK]

The car is really fast and there are 3 corners followed by long full throttle sections, messing one up is enough to cause a lot of time lost. Aim first section under 22 second, then under 45 second for the next one if you wanna practice by sections and looking for gold.

[@AdjointGaming]

Can I get gold with a rented x2019 or I need to buy one and full customize it ?

[@tidgney]

You can gold with the rented cars 😊

[@AdjointGaming]

@@tidgney So the time does not matter if you have a rented car or not ? Upgrades do not count at all ?

[@tidgney]

@@AdjointGaming That is right, it doesn't matter as it's BoP'd. Any upgrades on your own car are taken off.

[@adial001]

Is everyone driving manual trans on this?

[@crazehayes1]

So there's 2 new ones this week? Making 3 in total?

[@Targon999]

Yes, this one is due to the world finals or whatever they call it

[@garethroberts4303]

Correct 👍

[@crazehayes1]

Great times. Woo

[@tidgney]

Ye, 2 new time trials this week

[@gothops154]

Literally need to watch this video in x0.5 speed lol. There is no way I believe 3% of people are getting this in under 1:00.8

[@pieter6342]

The 3% is not 3% of people, its the time difference

[@Darkseid_70]

the speed of this thing looks watered down compared to x2010

[@Targon999]

Those were insane 😂

[@tidgney]

It is watered down for sure as it doesn't have the jet engine or whatever that car had, that thing was ridiculous haha.

[@Targon999]

@@tidgney I remember the Sebastian Vettel challenge very well, back then I struggled very hard to make it.

[@shahbazm88]

This trial is a$$. I'm still 0.7 off Gold and cant improve.

[@ultimategamerph4472]

This is a Bullshit Time Trial, Instead the Difficulty is "Very Hard" it should be like "Hell Death Hard" Instead. Because PB is being an Asshole for Making the most Unfair and Extremely Frustrating Time Trial in the Game

[@tidgney]

I mean I can't disagree with that 😂😂, especially as all the top top drivers are on it practicing for the GTWS so the time has nose dived

[@ultimategamerph4472]

@@tidgney Yeah Man they make the Gold time Target much Harder everytime they improve their Laptime, But now I Clocked 1:00.517 with the PS4 Controller which hopefully its enough to reach The Gold Time and yeah my Wrist hurt after many Hours of Attempt and Misery.
