Not sure there is a race there... Is it a rally?

@Th3solution True the AI does slow up too much but this is also part of the problem for me lol. All the sudden I'm greeted with a pack of slowing cars at the upcoming corner and it's wet and I can't get it checked up without spinning out or ramming into the pack (which usually causes me to spin).

Or I'll just hit a puddle moving off the driving line during a pass and hydroplane.

Or I'll be exciting a corner with cars in tow, taking it easy on the throttle and somehow I'm going too slow and get turned by a competitor. It's maddening. Plus trying to work my way up from 16th or whatever, it's just too much in heavily wet conditions. Even the rain tires are so waterlogged a couple laps in it's impossible for me to effectively maneuver.

But yes Nurburgring is a nightmare. I'm actually not even sure where one is meant to pass there. It's incredibly difficult and I'll likely never get a clean race bonus but I do still love it. In the right car anyway. I've even had it shower a little there which certainly makes things interesting but it was never so bad that controlling the car became overly ridiculous.

@sorteddan nah just feel like I'm cheesing it when I go to heavy on the assists during races but honestly I'm probably going to need to. I can't even place at the red bull track (for WTC 600) because of the rain.

On second thought, I think some of my reluctance to turn up assist settings is a fear that even with them all the way up I'll still be unable to complete said task. Not sure if that makes sense.

But I'll try it out. Don't have much choice otherwise lol.

@sorteddan Sorry, 😅 I meant Nurburgring. That stupid long one lap race with parts that are really narrow and winding. It’s beautiful though.

It's no where near the fastest but I'm pretty happy with a 1:26.877

Oh I very much knew what you meant... Can't believe you edited the post though, now my joke makes no sense!

@sorteddan I thought it was brilliant so it didn't go unnoticed.

Did anyone need any extra time to get the fastest lap challenge done?

Push Square GT7 Fastest Lap Challenge - results week 11

Hey everyone, sorry for the late results. I posted that message last night and then got stuck into a game and forgot to follow up. A really great turnout again so thanks for everyone who set a time. This was a tricky one to gauge how well people would do as RR cars add that extra element of crazy, and then add in a track that is familiar in a way but with slight differences - well this was going to be a challenge.

Here are the results. The top 3 are...

1st 🥇: @Kairu 1:25.556
2nd🥈: @nitram2k11 1:26.876
3rd🥉: @render 1:26.877

Again another insane time at the top there, well done Kairu, but that top time was always going to be really quick. What's more surprising is the thousandth of a second gap between 2nd and 3rd and that I've managed to score a podium. For that reason I reckon a lot of you have easily underperformed this week as no way should I be in the top 3 😅.

Here's a roundup of the rest of the times:

4th: @JudgeDredd 1:26.935
5th: @velio84 1:27.324
6th: @Abarth_71 1:27.526
7th: @Mr_B021 1:27.727
8th: @MatthewJP 1:28.282
9th: @sorteddan 1:29.333
10th: @zupertramp 1:29.659
11th: @Th3Solution 1:32.719

Some really strong times I'm seeing here and I can't wait to see you guys who haven't been playing for as long start coming into play. There'll be another one on Monday if I'm allowed by law to do one.

I gotta stop trying these challenges with my eyes closed.

@Kairu this was definitely an issue for me on that last curve. I like the track though. A lot of fun, even if I'm not particularly good at it.

Push Square GT7 Fastest Lap Challenge - week 12

Hi everyone, I would like to say this is late in respect for the Queen however as it was a public holiday here in the UK I just totally forgot to post this. Better late than never though I guess, although you might not be saying that when you read below. 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.

So everyone will definitely have this car and track unless you literally haven't played any of the cafe. We have all likely driven the track quite a bit but I've introduced some weather in there to spice things up a bit.

Track: Tsukuba Circuit
Car: Honda Fit Hybrid '14
Settings: Default settings sheet (if you think you might have changed settings just create a new sheet)
Tyres: Comfort Medium
Time of day: 16:00
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 -

Select the specific time of day -

Select the car and tyres -

Untitled

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:

Untitled

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.

Good luck!

@render I also pretended that it was the Queen’s fault I forgot about Game Club 👀

@Kairu Hah, I unfortunately don’t have Gran Turismo 7 yet, I’m waiting until I have a little bit of extra cash. Really been enjoying reading these though, makes me excited for when I finally get the game.

@nessisonett It was a good excuse to use as most of the country seemed to grind to a halt yesterday so why not PS as well. If you ever get around to getting the game then taking part in the challenge is easily the best thing about it 😁

@render @nessisonett
Nope. The best bit on GT7 is when you realise you have got golds on all the licence tests meaning you don't have to ever see them again... At least it was for me.
