You all spoke and we heard you… presenting the Dior Gran Turismo collaboration

Haha. But seriously, I kind of like bizarre collabs like this. I’d love to see it a lot more in Gran Turismo.

Push Square GT7 Fastest Lap Challenge - week 6

Hey all, it's Monday so here's the midweek fastest lap challenge. A quick reminder for anyone that hasn't taken part yet, each week I'll pick a different track and car combination - hopefully one that we've all got from playing the campaign or one that isn't too expensive from the used car or brand central dealers and we then see who out of all of us can set the fastest lap with it using the TT mode on the specific track. It's open to anyone from novice to seasoned players and is just a bit of fun with the only prize on offer being the feeling of smugness knowing that you've beaten your fellow Push Square forum members.

As we all missed out on driving the Alfa yesterday I've only gone and included one in the challenge this week. Perhaps as it's an Alfa it's more a question of whether you will get to the end rather than how fast but this one should be interesting.

Track: Alsace - Village Reverse
Car: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione '08
Settings: Default settings sheet (if you think you might have changed settings just create a new sheet)
Tyres: Sports Hard
Time of day: 04:45
Method:

The idea is to go in blind, no practice using the track / car combo before hand and no restarting - this is going to rely on everyone being honest as there's really no way to police this. Any day Monday to Thursday this week go to World Circuits, select the track followed by Time Trial -

You've got 5 laps to put together a solid lap time. Once you've crossed the line on the 5th lap exit the time trial and take a screenshot of the times screen as per this example:

Upload the image to Twitter or another sharing service e.g. imgur.com and post the link here. Please try and leave it till Friday to post your screenshot so as not to influence other peoples times but I can appreciate that this won't always be possible e.g. going on holiday. I'll take a look at all the screenshots and pick the driver with the fastest lap and they will be awarded the prize of being a Smug G(i)T and be able to bask in the glory of their achievement for an entire week before we start all over again.

Please let me know if you are thinking of taking part as it'd be great to gage interest, otherwise your time starts now - good luck getting to the end.

Push Square GT7 Fastest Lap Challenge - results week 6

There we go, week 6 all wapped up. Sorry the results are slightly late this time round but that's what happens when you get into a heated game of Hunt: Showdown. Without further ado it's time to see who was the Alpha Alfa.

So here we have the top 3...

1st 🥇: @Kairu 2:17.032
2nd🥈: @MatthewJP 2:18.737
3rd🥉: @JudgeDredd 2:20.037

Congrats to Kairu for being top dog for the second week in a row and absolutely blowing away my expectations for a lap time.

The rest of the times were as follows:

4th: @Abarth_71 2:20.686
5th: @render 2:21.228
6th: @nitram2k11 2:21.686

There's quite a few missing from this weeks challenge so I'll probably see how it goes next week and then make a call as to whether to put it down for a bit. Hopefully catch you guys for the next one.

Push Square GT7 Fastest Lap Challenge - week 7

Hey all, it's Monday so here we go. This might be the last one I publish for a while as uptake has been slow so hopefully this will be an enjoyable one. A quick reminder for anyone that hasn't taken part yet, each week I pick a different track and car combination - hopefully one that we've all got from playing the campaign or one that isn't too expensive from the used car or brand central dealers and we then see who out of all of us can set the fastest lap with it using the TT mode on the specific track. It's open to anyone from novice to seasoned players and is just a bit of fun with the only prize on offer being the feeling of smugness knowing that you've beaten your fellow Push Square forum members.

This one should be easy, should be. Of course it will probably turn out to be anything but, especially when you try and go faster.

Track: Autodrome Lago Maggiore - West End Reverse
Car: Toyota GR Yaris RZ "High Performance" '20
Settings: Default settings sheet (if you think you might have changed settings just create a new sheet)
Tyres: Sports Hard
Time of day: 17:30

So good luck everyone, use that "High Performance" to the max.

@Quintumply Bad luck, hope you weren't too ill with it and you are feeling better now. It's better now it's less of an issue for the majority of people but still can hit you quite hard regardless of age / fitness etc. Looking forward to seeing your time this week 😀

@Kairu Hopefully it should be a lot of fun this time round 👍

1:03.687. Great track/car combination, but that slow left hander can f* off..

@Quintumply I hope you’re feeling better. It took me a couple of weeks to get back to 100%

Mine was a 1.06.730. I should have taken it easy but was way too fast into that slow left hander and every lap hit the wall 🤦‍♂️

Just discovered this thread. Awesome! I’d like to join in some time, I’m not very good though.

@MB81 neither are most of us, it's just a bit of fun. Definitely feel free to join in

Elodin

Think I might join the fun. Just need convincing this racing game is fun for casual racers. Anyone want to help me get over the edge?

Elodin

render

@Elodin I’m as casual as it gets. I played loads when I first bought the game and really enjoyed all the single player content. Even though I’m playing less now I’ve still got plenty to do as well as dipping in and out of the sport races. What keeps me most interested are the push square race nights which are just great fun.

Elodin

@render @Kairu Thank you both. I think Ill buy it. Not sure if ill join the races as I don't mic up and live in Central standard timezone. Now to contend with what to delete for the huge file size that is GT7.

Elodin

zupertramp

@Elodin I'm in central too and have just recently bought the game. My biggest hurdle with online races in games like this is the fear of driving so poorly I ruin others' races lol. But maybe I'll give it a go.

I have played quite a bit of GT in the past though so not brand new. I will admit that this time around I've been trying cockpit view rather than the chase view I've always stuck with and that has me wondering... what does everyone else use? Is the consensus that chase view is kinda cheesing it or is it considered just as valid a view?

Push Square GT7 Fastest Lap Challenge - week 8

Hey all, can't believe it's been 8 weeks of this already but here we are. I was questioning last week whether to do another one but with GT7 going on sale and a few people commenting on the thread recently I thought I'd do a few more at least. A quick reminder for anyone that hasn't taken part yet, each week I pick a different track and car combination - hopefully one that we've all got from playing the campaign or one that isn't too expensive from the used car or brand central dealers and we then see who out of all of us can set the fastest lap with it using the TT mode on the specific track. It's open to anyone from novice to seasoned players and is just a bit of fun with the only prize on offer being the feeling of smugness knowing that you've beaten your fellow Push Square forum members.

I've gone for a car unlocked really early in the menus this week and one that I know you all have been waiting for me to include for so long.

Track: Autopolis - Short Cut Course
Car: Suzuki Swift Sport '17
Settings: Default settings sheet (if you think you might have changed settings just create a new sheet)
Tyres: Comfort Soft
Time of day: 14:00
Method:

The idea is to go in blind, no practice using the track / car combo before hand and no restarting - this is going to rely on everyone being honest as there's really no way to police this. Any day Monday to Thursday this week go to World Circuits, select the track followed by Time Trial -
