Right! I’m literally going 35mph and it can’t even do a wide turn 😩

I’m sure you can find another 3 tenths, brag right back !! 😂😂

Thanks mate, good to be back. Had a few life things to do the last couple of weeks. Absolutely no idea why they aren’t showing up for you, very strange. Thanks for taking the time to seek it out anyway. Much prefer actually using a racing car for a time trial. These FF cars are quite fun. Mid 1.29 is decent and still plenty of time left to improve it. Good luck mate !

@@PM10Racing Hey dude, hope all is well. Miss your videos

@@stormmeansnowork hi mate, doing well thanks, just been very busy. Managed to get a lap in for the Spa TT but didn’t have the time to get a video done. I’m determined to get one out soon, just need to find some time. Hope you are well mate 👍🏼

@@PM10Racing Wasn't too bad on my end, and I finally managed a gold on what I define as a super hard TT, which is one that has less than 5% players getting gold, and I did it at Nordschleife a few weeks ago with a top 2% worldwide ranking. For context, I actually spent a long time (like several hundreds of laps) learning the track, and historically, I used to be in the front end of the ranking there anyway (which isn't the case for many other tracks), it's just that I wasn't able to squeeze into gold zone with a non-FF car until this time. I had to do it on AT however. As the real world F1 is coming to Austria next week, I am expecting a TT at the RB Ring this coming THU.

Well done that’s a real solid lap. Should easily be enough for the 2m credits.

Cheers mate 👍🏼

No problem 👍🏼

Thanks mate, no problem, hope it helps. Such a classic circuit, all action !!

Those tyres aren’t the best !! Very understeery on throttle I found

I was surprised too 😂

😂😂😂

Cheers mate 👍🏼

Well done mate. I agree without shifting gears it feels a bit dull. I don’t know why they bother with these electric cars they aren’t really all that much fun. The V shape / late apex works quite well with this car given it’s much better in a straight line than it is round corners. Really not a fan of this one but we’ll take the 2m and move on.

@@PM10Racing just that we have another shift-less car this week 😅 cant say it is that funny either

@@stormmeansnowork I’ve not had the time for a lap on this weeks TT as we are away but I’m glad I’m not missing anything exciting 😂

Thanks mate, I’ll make sure I do that on my next couple to see how it goes. Cheers

Cheers buddy

Unfortunately didn’t get a chance to do a lap for Suzuka due to time constraints but it looks like a fun one from what I’ve seen. Low 26s is a solid lap mate. I think I’ve got a high 24 in there if I get a lap perfect but I won’t be scaring the fast guys. Well done for trying MT 👍🏼

@@PM10Racing Thanks mate. Suzuka is more of a torture than fun TBH...... I did try MT after I have a good understanding of the track, but I figured that I can only squeeze more time out from MT if it's a high-speed track with a high speed car where the early or late shifting would give me some speed boost. For tracks that are windy (except for Nurburgring North), I am still better on AT than MT.

@@stormmeansnowork it’s great you are experimenting with MT and being able to use it to your advantage as when the conditions are favourable. Very smart 👍🏼

Thanks very much mate !

Thanks very much 👍🏼

It’s frustrating, especially when you watch the top time and think “I can do that” then quickly realise that even following those lines you are still a way off. Mega frustrating!!

@@PM10Racing i know! The best i can do is 1:33.603, and it's even more frustrating that there's no much difference to get the gold😭

@@uri305 if you’re lines are good and you are using all the circuit then the only thing I would say to look at would be how much speed you are carrying through the corners. That’s the only logical place to find the time

I completely forgot to mention this in my video. I try to angle the car around that kink in the straight so I can use the entirety of the kerb on the left prior to turning in for T1 therefore carrying a touch more speed. I don’t know whether it’s worth any more time or not but it’s just something that I do to maximise the track usage.

Cheers mate, no problem

I think that’s a good tactic, learn the lines with AT so you can focus on getting g the lines right and then bring the MT element into it later. Very smart. Last weeks challenge was follow the hello line and don’t take your foot off the gas. It really sure how I could add any value to it so didn’t think it would be beneficial to make a video on it. Well done on the Nurburgring circuit experience. I do like that circuit

Really glad it helped mate. I struggled a bit on this one. I agree these cars are for cruising down the highway in summertime not going sideways round corners 😂 Well done mate 👍🏼

Well done mate. Yes it’s a slippery little devil this one, especially with no assists and you have to be really precise to get the car turned but not over the limit. Well done 👍🏼

That’s a great time mate well done. I really struggled on this one for some reason. I’m not the most comfortable in these old timey zero downforce crap tyres and brakes cars but it’s the same for everyone. Probably need to actually practice my technique more often. Really strange my videos aren’t showing up for you naturally. The last 3 videos of mine have all been really low views and extremely low on impressions compared the ones before it so I wonder if there is something going on behind the scenes at YT 🤔. I’m close to the monetisation threshold so I hope they are not trying to keep me suppressed (probably not this but it feels like it’s on purpose). On another note, did you like the full speed lap at the end ? Was it beneficial and should I keep it? Cheers

​@@PM10Racing Having a full lap at the end is always helpful as it makes the whole lap look more coherent. This will be particularly helpful for longer or more windy tracks. The only thing is that you need to choose one driving view to play it, and I would prefer the 3rd person view more than the driver's 1st person view, but this is probably because I am driving in the bonnet view. The only advantage for the driver's view is that it shows your steering a lot more clearly, yet I am not sure if it may actually be helpful to see that. For a 3rd person view, it will be more helpful with the line observation. As to the TV camera view that you added in as a picture in picture, I don't think that makes any difference in terms of us learning the track, so it may not be worthwhile spending time on it. I am not using YT so there's little I can help on guessing the reason, but if my blind guesses -- completely blind guesses, I stress -- is that the channels (on GT 7) that shows up more naturally on my screen are usually the ones that do a lot more GT7 videos on things like daily races or even live streams. As far as I know, Arkeys at least do the daily races alongside the Online TT lap guides with some occasional live streams, whereas Rory focuses more on daily races these days, if my impression is accurate. Frankly, I don't watch those as I don't have time and interest for daily races. I also noticed a channel by the name "widowmaker who" and he does a lot of GT7 stuff on Circuit Experience, Licenses and grinding, but his channel or videos doesn't show up by default either, and his community is comparatively small as well. Another observation is that, as I recently clicked on a Japanese GT7 channel on the Le Mans lap guide, it started showing up on my screen automatically, and this guy is doing live stream too. Of course this is just my observation and YT certainly recommended a lot of other non-GT7 stuff to me as well, so I could only hopeful this helps.

Great lap time mate. I really struggled on this one. Was desperate to break into the 1:04 but just couldn’t do it. On a separate note, did you like the full speed lap at the end ? Was it beneficial and should I keep it for future videos?

@@PM10Racing yes! full speed lap is very helpfull.

@@4AM_TM thanks pal. I’ll see what the engagement rate is on it as there’s usually a massive drop off at the point where the full speed lap starts but I’ll possibly keep it in for the next few videos see how it goes 👍🏼

Cheers mate. I’m sure you will knock several tenths off my time 👍🏼

@@PM10Racing thanks man i already did 🤓 check my lap it's available 🌹

@@Inv1989 too easy for you mate, great lap that is. I might as well give up making YT videos and leave it to you 😂

@@PM10Racing mate you defeated me in bugatti lap challenge by couple of seconds I should give up too 😂

@@Inv1989 😂😂 I think we all have our strengths and weaknesses

Cheers matey 👍🏼

Well done mate, that’s a very competitive time. Glad the video has proved useful 👍🏼

No worries mate, my pleasure. Good luck with it 👍🏼

I'm glad my video finds you naturally rather than having to work for it ! Shifting around 6500 rpm makes the best use of the torque / power band of the car. If you look at the detailed settings from the car settings menu and look at the curve you see how the power drops off dramatically after 6500 rpm so revving it out is a waste. Plus the torque curve is quite flat so you can get away with shifting earlier to take advantage of this. You don't want to bog down though so you cant just blindly upshift through every turn, you need to make sure you are carrying enough speed for that gear. Good luck with it mate !

@@PM10Racing *Deep breathe* I just got into a mid-4:20 after trying some tricks and then practising. Firstly, I switched the TCS from 1 to 0. The car feels quite different on acceleration and it understeers quite a lot than when it was 1 (even though the TCS was not shown to be kicking in at 1). It took 150km to get used to, and then as I said, it's a matter of getting the driving line right in my case - or at least it's comparatively pointless for me to practice short shifting without first getting my line right, and this was a lot of work. Often times when I watch all these guides of you people, I forgot you are doing it in MT on a higher gear for a number of corners and forgetting this at Le Mans can be particularly punishing as it would understeer give me a bad line for many of the S corners, which affects the exit speed and overall lap time. After getting the throttle and line right, I finally got to where I am with still be a bit of blemishes to iron out. A sub-4:20 is certainly possible, even on AT, but it will take a lot of practice......

I just tried to punish myself with MT, and got into a very low 4:20 despite making some mistakes. 4:19 is in touching distance...

@@PM10Racing I eventually got a low 4:19 (and 4:18 is in theory within touching based on the ideal sector time). I think this is the first time for me to get within top 2% provisionally, with MT. Also I have a run of the Nurburgring North CE with MT and for the first time, I managed a gold time. It's still 3 secs from my best time which I set on AT, but it's certainly not a level I can imagine accomplishing just a year ago... Anyway, thanks a lot for pushing me to do MT all these months!

@@stormmeansnowork well done mate that’s excellent progress, I’m so happy for you !! Honestly, once you fully get comfortable with MT you will never want to go back. It’s like going from controller to a wheel. I could never go back to a controller now. Keep it up mate, great work 👍🏼

Cheers buddy. Good luck with it, definitely plenty of time on the table !

Nice one mate. Makes all the difference maximising the power / torque band of the engine especially as there are lots a straights on this track.

Cheers mate, good luck with it !

Cheers mate 👍🏼

No problem at all. Really hope it was useful 👍🏼

My pleasure 👍🏼

Cheers pal. It’s a nice combo actually just need to control the sliding to get the best times. Good luck with it mate 👍🏼

That’s really strange, no idea why my videos don’t pop up especially with you having all the notifications switched on 🤔 That’s a really good time especially on AT. This one isn’t a bad one to use MT on though as there aren’t that many gear shifts.

@@PM10Racing I didn't have the notifications on for any channels that I watch TBH, but they usually just pop up as they published. Those that I watched (for this TT) before yours were published a bit longer than you did (2 to 3 hours in when I watched yours), not sure if that may be a factor too, but surely for the last video, it didn't pop at all even over a day. Let's wait another week to see. It's true I should have given MT a try, but currently, I am only at a level that can only focus on the racing line, but not simultaneously shifting up and down and sliding the car while keeping an eye on the line. Additionally, now that I got into top 5%, I may instead do some practice run on the Nurburgring North, which I haven't done so for a long time (if I have the energy to do so, that is).

@stormmeansnowork just takes a bit of practice mate. Eventually it comes second nature and you dont even need to think about it

Cheers mate. I’m sure you’ll demolish both mine and the gold time.

No worries mate hope it was useful 👍🏼

I think 3rd is just slightly better on that last corner. Good luck mate 👍🏼

A very worthwhile strategy. I couldn’t carry enough speed to avoid getting bogged down in a higher gear unfortunately.

@@PM10Racing you get into any of the server rooms in multiplayer?

@boosted0079 unfortunately not as often as I’d like. Really struggle for time outside of doing the lap guide for the time trials. I can recommend some very good leagues for GT7 if you are looking for that sort of thing?

@@PM10Racing actually yeah that'd be cool. I've dipped my feet into sport mode, but I don't feel the driver rating system and match making is very good lol. It's very hit and miss getting into a good race with respectful drivers. Most seem likea bunch of kids using controllers with the only goal to crash as many cars as they can. The time trials in sport mode are fun though. But I'd like to find a way to be competitive with other like minded driver's.

I completely agree, that’s exactly why I wanted to join a league. Very clean driving and good sportsmanship are encouraged and enforced and the standard of clean driving is superb. I highly recommend Black Flag Racing as this was the league me and a few racing friends setup as a breakaway from another league. It’s growing really well with some great series and the best bit is that Andy broadcasts and streams the races live on the Black Flag Racing TV KZfaq channel.

That’s really strange that you didn’t get a notification 🤔. Anyway thanks for looking up the video. I thought this one would prove more difficult but it seems gold is very much achievable. I wonder if the lap was longer the gold stats would still be the same. Well done mate should be a comfortable 2m for you 👍🏼

@@PM10Racing Your video usually show up within hours of publishing but just not this time (and one other player has indeed delayed his publishing so I didn't bother to look). It started out quite hard for me, but once I know how much I can brake the car at turn 1 and how to get around turn 4 and the last corner, it's just easy.

Sounds like you’ve nailed it mate. T1 is tricky. Carrying momentum is what you need with these low powered cars

Cheers buddy 👍🏼

Mid 19s is a great lap well done mate. This track surprised me a bit. Wouldn’t fancy doing a full grid race here but it’s a lot of fun for time trialling. Need good car control on this challenge.
