@Elodin@Th3solution Thanks for taking part and those times are not to be sneezed at. It isn't easy getting it together in 5 laps and I've tried various different ways to tackle it. I'm going to do mine later and no doubt I'll be in a similar ballpark.
@Th3solution@Elodin@render yeah I can't imagine mine will be any better. Been too busy to get to it so far (still working on my sambabus laps at the ring) but I'll get to it some time I hope.

@render
Think my technique followed from all those licenses i recently did, which was - if i can set a ghost, I can beat that ghost, if I can beat that ghost i will (eventually) reach my target.
So my laps go: base lap, base lap, slight improvement, slight improvement, slight improvement.
Yours seem to have gone:
Cack, cack, cack, jackpot!
Maybe I'll have to go more gung-ho in future.
I was also ready for that last corner. As soon as I started the lap I remembered how often I'd been caught out by it!

@sorteddan I do try and approach it just as you did there but for some reason by the time I've reached the first corner I've thrown that out the window and just pushed too hard too soon 😅
Push Square GT7 Fastest Lap Challenge - results week 10
Hey everyone, this has to be the best turnout we've had in terms of numbers of people taking part this week. Really big thanks everyone who set a time and special mention to those taking part for the first time, especially if you've not had the game for too long and have been ploughing through the menus. I've always found this challenge just that but enjoy setting it and taking part and it's always great to see others having a go. If anyone enjoyed that so much that they can / want to come and race this car / track combination on Sunday at the usual Push Square race night then please do as I can promise you it's a good laugh and it doesn't always finish in the order found here.
That's an astonishing time from Kairu at the top and the runners up times aren't too shabby either. Generally I'm impressed by how bunched up the midfield is this time round but to be honest all the times were respectable and I'd happily take anyone of them knowing how hard this challenge can be.
Great stuff everyone I hope you all enjoyed taking part this week and got something out of the experience. I'll happily set another one for next Monday so check this thread out then
@Jimmer-jammer Well, if you promise you won’t tell anyone.. Kairu is a working title for GT7’s Sophy AI. Polyphony Digital is paying us to train it. I give it a few more weeks before it becomes sentient.. 🤫
Hi everyone, after the amazing turnout last week I've got my fingers crossed that we get at least as many entries this week. 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.
The track layout this week was released a few patches ago and I've wanted to get around to checking it out myself so I thought why not do it on the challenge.
Track: Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya Car: Porsche 911 Carrera RS (964) '92 Settings: Default settings sheet (if you think you might have changed settings just create a new sheet) Tyres: Sports Hard Time of day: 12:20 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 -
Select the specific time of day -
Select the car and tyres -
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 as per the example or just record your time:
Then either upload the image to Twitter or another sharing service e.g. imgur.com and post the link here or just post your time in a message, whichever method suits you best and whenever you like. I'll then gather all the times up and publish the results on Friday.
@Elodin Ah shame. I was trying to find a car radically different to last week that would be fun to drive. Hope you can get it unlocked but appreciate if that’s not possible.
Embarrassed that I didn’t do better on this one. Every time I felt like I was getting going on a good run, I got greedy and ended up off the track.
It was probably foolish of me to just pick it up and do the challenge cold as my first race after not turning on my PS5 for 3 days. Wasn’t in my racing groove yet. …oh yeah, and I was tired. …and the sun was in my eyes. …and my controller ran out of batteries in the middle. …er, and uh, whatever other excuse sounds good.
