Tried a couple sessions for Suzuka East. Thought I would have gotten better times, but oh well.

Next TA race won't until tomorrow, but it's def good aiming time for everyone :thanks:

lol. I figured, but I may not be able to get online tomorrow. Picking up the Skyline, and I'm usually tired from work now days, so probably wouldn't have been able to get back on until Wednesday night or Thursday.

Well race 3 is June 11th thru 17th. You got decent time…. Wait what? You’re picking up Skyline?!?!?!?!

LOL. I snuck in a pic in the other thread with the scapes pic. No one except for one person noticed. The pic isn't up anymore since I was linking it from Facebook. Guess that's how good the Scapes mode is? Lol

@Kaotic Lazagna make sure to pick which track to race for Race 4 by June 16th

I wanted to wait until you guys posted times so I could figure out a target but I won’t be able to play again for 6 or 7 days, so here it is, the time you’ll beat, 58.454 :)

CLK GTR is in the house, that’ll drain my account and then the F40 will come and go while I’m away :mad0260:

Yeah… I highly doubt I can beat that lol

Does my time from the other day count? Lol


Also, I think Laguna Seca would be a good track for the next TA.

Depends on bribery :lol:

Oh god... 2 tracks in the row that I'm not good at. Whoever win this race 3, please don't choose Willow Spring next.

Awwman, I don't want to try to match my time again. Lol. I'll share another pic of the Skyline. Hahaha



Please, do not pick Willow Springs! I know that track even less than Maggoire!

Gen 1, faster than I’ve expected.

I tried without TC & amazingly got better time

My time with a zenki 1st gen. Felt more stable than the 2nd gen, just lost a bunch of time in the straight.

My time with the 2nd gen in the official week for the Suzuka TA. Was able to slightly improve.

I felt the same way. 1st Gen was easier to drive than 2nd Gen.

Of course, you gotta always one up me lol

Ah I knew I’d get steamrolled!

I was concerned I was going to DNQ since you didn't say I could use my other time. lol. I think driving the 1st gen before doing the 2nd gen again helped me improve my lines better.

I thought, I did put your time into the Google Sheet? At least you got better time.

You're more than welcome to get a better time. I didn't set a how many tries you can do. As long as you submit the time within the time period, I don't see problem.

Wait, there is a Google sheet for all of this? Lol

Yes, I did posted on the OP and when I first announced the TA lol

Here's the link: FT86Club GT7 TA

For sure, but I’ve been out of town since Monday. I got in a few mins to put up a time just before I had to hit the road.

Alright, Race 3 ended,

Results:

1st Gen:
Laz - 58.938
ichi - 59.824

2nd Gen
Laz - 57.964
ichi - 57.993

Current total points

1st Gen

ichi - 12 pts

2nd Gen
Laz - 14 pts
fredzy - 11 pts
ichi - 11 pts

@Kaotic Lazagna think of Race 5 track by June 23rd. After Race 5, we’ll have quick ID4 break & restart again July 9th?

What's the last day for Laguna Seca? Sorry I couldn't find in here.

Looks like any time I get for GT for the next few days will be spent grinding credits to get the McLaren before it goes. I'd prefer the road car but I will never shell out for that so I'm going to get this and call it done. Plus 13 yr old me's #1 dream car was a longtail road car - still have the UT 1/18 model on the shelf.

I cranked out a bunch of CE's last night and got me most of the way to 10mil so I might find time yet. One of the CE's I did was Laguna Seca. Weirdly got gold on almost all sectors first try and then struggled to gold the one-lap. T2 brake zone was a mystery, such random results I thought maybe something was wrong with my pedals. T3 and 4 were a crapshoot with the way race cars seem to tend to understeer any more. Solidly reminded me of how Laguna Seca is all fun and games until you're actually trying to improve your lap times. Factor in that I'm at the point now where I wish the GR86 never f***ing existed and seeing one makes me angry and I'm not looking forward to this :(

Laguna Seca TA is June 18th ~ June 24th

Sorry for the delay for picking a track, but since there will be an update, I think Race 5 TA should be on Watkins Glen. It'll be in tomorrow's update, and it's also a track I'm not very good at and avoid in games that has it. So it'll force me to actually go on it. lol

Okay, here are my 2nd gen time and zenki 1st gen time for Laguna Seca. Called it quits after 7 laps each.

Well fuck... you're at least 3 sec faster than my last night's fastest laps.

Try it again and focus on the corner before the corkscrew and the corkscrew itself. I probably picked up 2 seconds on those two corners (don't think I really improved on the other corners, probably because I struggle more with the corners I mentioned).

I tried to see I can get better time, cuz I know I can’t beat Laz lol I got faster time, but def not near Laz

Where did you find that you improved the most time at?

The GT7 FT86Club League
 

Flying off corkscrew lol jk

Most shaving points were first corner & first corner after corkscrew. Both I wasn’t taking the correct line & loosing more speed &/or going off-road. When I was able to get the proper line/brake, I shaved about 1~1.3 secs

Alright, Race 4: Laguna Seca is over. Results are:

1st Gen
Laz 1:41.495
ichi 1:43.141

2nd Gen
Laz 1:39.703
ichi 1:40.762

This will put Laz to 1st place on total points for both gen. Good job!
1st Gen
Laz 20 pts
ichi 16 pts

2nd Gen
Laz 19 pts
ichi 15 pts
fredzy 11 pts

Race 5 is at Watkins Glen. Time is June 25th ~ July 1st. After that, we’ll take quick break & start TA again (July 8th).

Might as well do the long course layout.

Oh no I thought today was last day for Laguna! Whoops!

Had to at least see how it would go. I Lazzed out pretty hardcore and got to a good time in 4 laps, including a wreck lap lol. But rules are rules! More lessons learned!

That would have been super close!!!!

Alright fellas, here are my times for WG Long Course. 4 laps each and called it quits. The zenki 1st gen felt faster than the time posted. LOL

Any tip on that track? I’m just too lazy to do track experience lol Did quick 5 test laps & im about 4 secs slow.
