The Time Trial from Hell

[@Var_]

Alex Albon is the goat for driving in f1 and maintaining a prolific KZbin channel at the same time.

[@Super_GT]

Time management 🐐

[@xwarped83]

No race this weekend so he has plenty of time.

[@isimon.]

Thank god Imola got cancelled 💪🏻😁 Plenty of spare time for Alex

[@birinhos]

This guy is on F1 ?!!! I thought it was and youtuber (just came here to the comments after liking the video )

[@fartloudYT]

It is made easier by the fact that F1 steering wheels have nintendo switch on them.

[@nebuc72]

Really appreciating the longer content - fits really well with what I use KZbin for nowadays, having longer stuff running to the side. Fits super well with the content too.

[@notkoreansg]

its very good content for working haha.. it’s like an audiobook for racing

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments!

"There's many corners and many opportunities to send yourself into the shadow realm around this track" I have felt this a few too many times while driving around the Nürburgring

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

Many corners? Seriously. I think every corner is a death defying act of courage to get through! Which is why my times are 9mins. 😂 No bravery.

[@Loctorak]

The track itself is basically one extremely long "don't c*ck it up" session.

[@Pluvillion]

Either drive safely or drive recklessly enough to see yourself in an Auto Addiction compilation

[@henrik1743]

Man I remember 5 Years ago when SuperGT uploaded every few months and me and others had to binge old videos because we couldnt get enough. And now we get quality content daily, thank you so much Steve.

[@NardoBlaq]

Fr 😂😂😂

[@cjplays7727]

I’m happy I found him when I did it’s so much to binge through if is ant

[@marcusfsproductions]

back in 2018 i ended up buying a ps4 and gt sport because i had watched all his videos and still needed my super gt fix :D now i'm probably gonna do the same with a ps5 haha

[@biess_]

Usually it's the other way around, as the quality improves youtubers start uploading less. Except Super GT, he just keeps making them faster and faster 😂

[@ejune98]

Ah those days when I just watched his videos without thinking and some how this guy became a huge racing game youtuber after some years. Amazing

[@Andynath100]

One of the pole times at the Nurburgring 24 today was a 8:09:058. Let’s see you beat it!

[@Malibuthe6th]

god thats a flyer

[@MarcelPolman]

this takes me back to playing GT4 on my PLAYSTATION 2 back in the day. Pure nostalgia! The Nurburgring was my favourite track. I spent many hours trying to improve my driving. when my father and I went to do a TOURISTENFAHRT on the green hell in real life when I was 14, I was able to give my father precise rally style co-driver call-outs because I knew it by heart. Spectacular track.

[@markus007]

Okay I'm seeing a pattern with these daily uploads, loving it!

[@leewhitecross8947]

What I like about this guy.he talks a lot of sense and he knows what he’s talking about.this is a track from hell.well done

[@eoic4721]

New Logo looking clean! However, as an art student I would suggest adding a small GT below the 'S' just to balance out the star above the 'S', cheers mate!

[@davidaugustofc2574]

I thought it was a rip-off channel

[@seanmaguire7618]

Looks Like the sun, like the newspaper

[@majikku-chan]

The S is way too big.

[@riptear]

Too late, he is already wearing it on his merch

[@GrayZ_dood]

Or perhaps a cut out "GT" text in the middle of the "S"

[@danielboyd7810]

Its comforting to know someone whos literally done hundreds of laps on this track still makes mistakes in those tricky sections. Makes me feel like less of a doofus

[@kratosgow342]

Tbf he did 200 laps on different game with different set of physics and different setup sure he have the knowledge of the track but he couldn't predict how car will behave especially there's new car being in the game as well

[@Messup7654]

Nope u still suk

[@limegrass]

Almost flat 8 mins and 14 seconds on the second try is absolutely insane... You can tell he really knows the track

[@jeromemojica2375]

After doing 200 laps of it live, it'd be more of a shock if he didn't know it

[@wazzlopiok240]

I’m struggling to get sub 8:40. I’d be confident super gt could beat my gt3 record in a gt4 car..

[@zeffiefkamoosa]

Bro im amazed at how he knows the brake points. I thought he was the Goat then i saw others ahead of him by 10 seconds 😭😭😭

[@limegrass]

@@jeromemojica2375 lol exactly

[@limegrass]

@@wazzlopiok240 I think most people should be able to get sub 8:40 once they fully memorize every corner and breaking point. It's just a matter of practise until 8:30. Beyond that, I think it takes talent and a really good sim racing setup

[@artem8193]

I'm seriously contemplating acquiring a PS5 solely for the joy of immersing myself in this game once more. Time trials are my particular passion. I recall a specific instance from a few years ago when I battled a single time trial on this very map using the M6GT3 for an entire week. And when I say a week, I'm not exaggerating - you cannot begin to comprehend the sheer dedication and determination I poured into conquering that trial. The amount of literal sweat, tears, and blood I sacrificed was immense. That period marked my debut experience with the wheel, adding another layer of challenge. Nevertheless I claimed the gold. The wave of elation I felt was indescribable - it was a moment of pure, unadulterated joy that left me breathless.

[@Phoenix11720]

It's awesome in the psvr2

[@Keckegenkai]

im just here wishing that the game will be emulatable in maybe 10 years lol

[@shingiraimusinga3571]

New logo whattt whatttt! Everything is popping off on the channel even the new editing style with the live commentary and voice over style is just great and the videos are longer everything is amazing being watching you for a while and you never disappoint us love you so much man!

[@stealthk4190]

You know what, you're the goat, not because you're ace at GT or because you're top in the world BUT you also use different cars to the top times in the world. You experiment you push and you put in the time. Always amazed at the content. It shows you don't always have to pick thr fastest car on the lraderboard

[@SaketBakshi]

Last lap was nuts. Thanks for the uncut footage.

[@Giratina575]

Nurburgring is the one course that always sends shivers up my spine no matter what game I'm playing. You either show it the respect it deserves or die of death

[@holyother1]

“Die of death”☠️

[@PaulTheFox1988]

You definitely don't want to die of death, that's the worst kind, but dying a deadly death of dead would probably be fine

[@hubblesphere]

Amazingly qualifying just happened in the real ADAC Nurburgring 24. New record and it was also an 8:09! Great lap!

[@HumzahHussain]

I really felt your frustrations throughout this video Steve! Watching your frustrations was like looking at myself in a mirror when doing this Time Trial. Been spending the past 4 days constantly going through this Time Trial, started with an 08:22 and eventually managed to do an 08:15.8 today to get a Gold and when I did that time I was honestly so happy with it that I didn't believe it at first. This Time Trial was definitely a true test of focus and endurance to get a whole lap together with minimal mistakes, hardest one I've taken part in for sure. Definitely nowhere near you or the other super fast drivers.

[@ThatBluePit]

This man's first lap, with plenty of mistakes, was still 10 seconds better than the only lap i have managed to pull off without going off track😭😭

[@jevaunneheadley1704]

Yeah bc he’s using manual transmission if you let the game shift for you, you not gonna be anywhere near these guys

Amazing concentration and tenacity there Steve, I am amazed the leader got an 8.03.486 nearly one second clear of 2nd place.

[@fastcarfootball8710]

8:02.5 now... We racing against some aliens I swear 😂

[@TygonBC]

I think you have to take into account, with a track this long and complex, ability and practice goes a long way but a lot of that top 100 would also have had a very lucky lap, where everything just turned out right. It may take some 1000 tries to get that perfect lap, but for some, they might just nail it on the 5th or even 3rd attempt. Of course you have to be good, but it's also something of a lottery.

[@glkglkglkglk9193]

Makes sense

[@parpaing_1]

In my opinion (Iplayed this time trial a lot to get a perfect lap) it's 100% skill. It could be luck if conditions changed, but it's always the same.

[@robertsd47]

6 seconds is more than luck..

[@benjaminschimpf421]

Hell of a run. I will never understand how there are SECONDS to be gained. That was pretty flawless

[@TonicofSonic]

The way you show your struggles in great detail as well as your successes really helps put everything into perspective. Legend.

[@djin_yt]

Superb driving mate. Really a very enjoyable watch for someone who doesn't play racing games at all anymore.

[@Mario_55_]

Supergt with consistent uploads. You love to see it

[@CubanRider]

Watching these videos back to back, thoroughly entertaining. Having done lots of GT4 - GT6 in my 20s and early 30s, this brings back a ton of memories. That last lap was brilliant, it's truly hard to string together a full lap of this amazing track when you're going 10/10s.

[@ReklessStandard]

Man, the full nurbergring track has always been my favorite. Its tests your skill and precision. Its a very tight and fast track.

[@djgill92]

Interesting new SuperGT logo. I really hope you reach 1M followers. You deserve it.

[@ChickenMeister84]

Nurburgring is a different beast. No one gets it right on the first go. Only way to do is a supreme level of focus. I once booted up PC2 for a quick run around with a new car, ended up doing it 22 times in a row just to get it right....three hours later....

[@nerocaesar8301]

Steve, you are one of my favorite KZbinrs. I'm so glad to see that your videos are being released more often. I just wanted you to know how much the fans of your channel appreciate your hard work.

[@a8f235]

With long tracks it is so important to get into a rythm where it just feels like you're on autopilot. Once you snap out of it you so quickly feel like bambi on ice and then you're just constantly overdoing everything. This track is a test of anyone's patience because you have to attack and be on it, or else the car cannot perform. It's a constant battle with you and your brain where it's telling you this is gonna hurt, and you shouting: Shut up brain! 🙉

[@themightiestofbooshes9443]

I've been doing the Nordschleife on Gran Turismo 4 in the Mercedes-Benz CLK Touring Car and in the CLK-LM and I must say that SuperGT makes this track look easy.

[@FretFreak02]

It is so difficult to really tie all those many corners together. Even on my best days, I nail like 97% of the track and always mess up somewhere. Still, it’s the most beautiful circuit there is.

[@Max_von_Mustermann_ll]

Those uploads are quicker than your unbelievable fast laptimes. Much appreciated, Steve!

[@fulanodetal4813]

i'm amazed by how can you make a 30min. video of you doing the same thing over and over and still be so interesting to watch

[@rurusch1429]

At first i thought "oh, this looks like a supergt thumb" and then i clicked in the video and it was indeed supergt, i was so confused because of the new logo man 😂

Really enjoyed this! And I can appreciate how much time went into this that got cut from the final video.

[@alexanderminas28]

Aww man nostalgia since GT6. Hell since then. It has never changed.

[@gtp_vexd3507]

My top tip: when overdriving, raise your eyes.... look further ahead. That will solve that problem. Also, the section after foxhole.... Adenauer-forst (add an hour four st) I’m still at 8:17..... but I only played for 45 mins. Nice lap Steve 👍🏽

26:42 that section and then the sigh you gave was poignant. By the way you are a brilliant sports commentator a pleasure to listen to.

[@blathers_13]

being relatively new to GT7 this was my first time trial, and after what must have been 100s of laps i just managed to get an 8:20.0 in the RSR 😰 optimal says an 8:18 was possible and realistically theres probs another second on top of that but im amazed theres people going 15+ seconds faster than what felt like a nuts lap haha (idk if its something to do with me being on a pad not a wheel etc) absolutely insane lap steve, nice work 🤙

[@galliman123]

Definitely pad, great time for a hard grind!

[@MattsPaddock]

This one was a BANGER! Nice one, mate

[@EdwinOnofre-GT_Eddy]

Watched this video with full attention at your progression, precision, and perseverance. Car choice definitely makes a difference, but its also the lines and inputs you take to pull off that lap time. I'm excited to continue putting more laps at this track and experiment with different cars. Did I say I'm excited for driving around the Green Hell? Hell yes, I love the Nords in particular.

[@Samas_R_Counts]

Congratulations brotha! Well done, truly.

SuperGT. I love the way you commentate on the lap, your use of language is ace. You’d be a great commentator on F1.

[@cesarmuller8962]

I play on controller and I love this track. Yesterday I managed with the Supra 8:14:440 after who knows how many attempts, but I've been playing for days. Watching these videos my laps look so perfect, no slips or anything like that and still my time is not up to par. It's amazing to see how they get it wrong and still manage to have an amazing time! I'm still watching the video and trying to learn something, I think my running line is good/great, but for some reason I'm still slow. I usually use traction control because the control is very complicated.

[@eliaswarg6818]

Love these vids where you grind the track down.

[@dylan5048]

every time you string together a lap and finish off with the beat drop i get chills lol. cheers mr. albon

[@ronny12tech]

It's amazing how Nordschleife feels like a completely different track from FM7 to GT7. In Forza it's much narrower, bumpy and unpredictable. Your favourite section is completely different in Forza, even visually. So I have to use much shorter gears to have a balanced engine break (7 speed trans) otherwise the rear end will snap unpredictably. But it feels so damn good when you nail it, a very rewarding sensation.

[@twt3716]

I walked around this track in '85 with a time of 3 hours 23 mins and 14 seconds. Happy days.

[@lordnevets9184]

I think I held my breath for the first 6 minutes of the last lap. Brilliance. Pure ball shriveling brilliance.

[@babab_m]

Those 200 laps nonstop coming in handy, as much as i like the race videos these time chasing ones are a real good watch, great driving

[@MrChris2108]

It's nice to soo how much variety there is in the cars at top 50 on this track instead of just just Supras and Nismos. Such a difficult track that it's faster to go with whatever you feel comfortable driving instead of following the trends

[@Gedz817]

Was dope to watch your improvements through the trial and with different cars. Really enjoying the content

[@miikatenkula6356]

I don't know the first thing about sim-racing but its incredibly fun watching it happen, especially if its accompanied by your commentary. One little advice; I saw you do a brief summary of the world record timer in one of your recent videos, I honestly don't know how much it benefits you, if it does at all, it was a good experience to watch a breakdown of the rank 1 time. Maybe you could do that more often if you felt like it. Again, great video, great content. Must be really exhausting to create all the footage, put them together and add commentary on top of it.

[@jester_24-78]

Love the content and after looking through some of your sector times through the video if you could string your perfect sectors together on 1 lap it would probably be a 8:06.7 something 23:09

[@adrianoaledichiara7092]

Mate, now I want to se you in the supra that car is far superior at the Nürburgring, I think you could do an 8:08! Keep up the amazing work man, continue.
