Damn, 48secs? 50secs barrier took me a bit to break, clearly you were aiming at breaking the 49secs barrier

I got 1:53 on my first lap that I didn't spin or hit the walls, but with lots of sliding and missed braking points. Figured I could get below 1:50. The lap it didn't record the time, but it did the ghost, I got 1:49:xxx. But that took an insane amount of laps. Luckily it only took me 2 laps to get a "clean" lap in to get a recorded time.

By lap 4 I was in the low 17’s, no idea how to get down into 14’s. Was having fun though so kept going. Found most time just using up the whole track.

Won’t have time to mess with the unlimited, no Supra engine. Had a heck of a time getting around the track once clean, lap was like 2 mins so give me last place but don’t call it a DNF haha

Damn! How you guys hitting 14’s… honestly I don’t like how GR drives in this track. BUT GT in other hand, I enjoyed it more (even though did crappy lap time).

Also fredzy, I would put your name in the unlimited class, but in that scene cap, don’t see other GR86 lap time other than stock one.

I use turn-in oversteer caused by braking to take certain turns fastest here, especially T1. It's tough to be consistent with it though.

I'll get a pic for unlimited. I was being lazy.. wasn't going to even put a lap in since I couldn't get time to build the car, figured at least get the 3 points.

My process for pics is unnecessarily complicated. I'll trim it down by uploading attachments now I think.

Trail braking in most corners, and the corner before the tunnel and last corner are very important to get right. I picked up 2 seconds just at the tunnel straight by getting a better line and corner exit from that corner.

The before tunnel corner is a puzzle. I want to take an early on the gas/late apex line for it but the best setup I can find feels like you're turning in too early. If I do it where I think I should it's like you fall off a cliff. I think it's how the road dips right at the tunnel exit.

That endless straight gives you a lot of time to think about what you did wrong while you watch that little number tick away from blue to red

My final take on Trial Mountain is that I love it, but the straights should have been shorter (Should be a sub-2 minute track in a car like this) and I would prefer the original last turn. The new version of that chicane is probably smarter for real racing but the old version was more exciting.

Yeah, the original track was shorter, and had the car launcher at the end. Lol.

I don't mind the new version tho.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Well, didn't think it was fair for me to call it quits after 3 laps yesterday with the stock GR86, so I gave myself another 5 laps. Lol.

[ichitaka05]

Damn Laz is making sure he’s getting hat-truck this round lol

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Lol. I knew I had some time left to be had. I was just in a rush to play Stray.

Race 8 track will be Sardegna - Road Track - B.

First, I wanted to do rally & thought about Colorado Springs, but prob you two won’t like it, so throw that idea out of the window. I’m going to see El Classico this weekend, so wanted to dedicate the track to Barcelona… but forgot that, that track got so many shortcuts. To keep myself from cheating, I decided not to select that track.

Honestly, I've stayed away from the rally races in GT7. I liked rally in prior GTs, but something about 7 I don't like.

Tried one more time to see if I can hit 14’s in the stock GR86… after over +100 miles, closest I got was 15’s.
