[@xX_Gravity_Xx]

They should release classic versions of these tracks. Classic Trial Mountain, Classic Grand Valley, etc.

[@loophole3526]

That would be great but I like the new version on Trial Mountain more than the old one. It’s really the best fantasy track in GT7.

[@Super_GT]

Agree, we all want to yeet it off the grass bank don't we

[@Cabarkin]

​@@Super_GT ultimate nostalgia because if it was possible to flip a car in Gran Turismo, that was the place where it would happen.

[@richardhall206]

Classic Grand Valley, yes please. The GT7 version is a travesty.

[@SordoBjorn]

@@Super_GT Annnd have the track be *that* narrow but it doesn't matter bc you can just use the outer edge as a way to 'be on rails' as it were

[@carspn1]

Always love these. When it's just races it can come across as "sim racing is easy" but these time trials really show the time, effort, and skill needed to be good.

[@SuperSocks7]

I have a poster of this exact combo on my wall, saying “welcome to trial mountain” Awesome to see it in the game

[@spikedeagle]

I simply CANNOT express enough how much this has reignited my passion for gaming. I absolutely LOVE your content and the way you do commentaries over your gameplay gives me so much nostalgia from a time where gaming content on KZbin was in its infancy, it's just pure and authentic! Man I cant wait till I get a rig set up and can experience the thrill of chasing world leaderboard times

[@cj41079]

He was taking most corners at 4th gear 😮😮 You did amazing once again! ❤

[@thesunnynationg]

the 4th gear out of the corner is helping with traction because the power delivery is weaker until the engine gets into his powerband that way you can accelerate earlier.

[@COVET2010]

Who else watched Steven crush their absolute best lap on the first attempt ???

[@atroeds]

Same. I fought so hard for that 1:54 lol.

[@bannjaxx]

yep, I think I've done maybe 100 laps and I've sweated it down to 1m 57.999s - SuperGT just effortlessly destroys that AS A WARM UP!!! lol - different planet.

[@ShaneAndShaneGaming]

Hahahaha for sure. I spent over 4 hours in various sessions just to get to 1:55.327. I guess I should be happy since I have only been playing GT7 for a week and I use a controller?!

[@thesunnynationg]

it took me about 150 Laps over 2 sessions for a 1:53.1 and i could do a 52.9. but i messed up the first corner.

[@ShaneAndShaneGaming]

@@thesunnynationg dang! That’s awesome. Controller or wheel/pedals? Curious how good of a time is possible with a controller.

[@camcambambam5128]

I did a 1:52.4 on my first lap and then it took another 30 laps to get a 1:52.1 😂 I really nailed the first lap tbh

[@SordoBjorn]

Trial Mountain really is one of those "don't think about it too much" type of tracks. Don't know you history with GT but if i had to put money on it Lap 1 was pure muscle memory and a bit of on the fly correcting to the changes

[@Umar-gw6fy]

You found your driving ability limit

[@dodgy1779]

This was a super difficult time trial for me. I'm not good at Trial Mountain, and the Supra's handling does not compliment my driving style very well. Glad I could pick up some top tips from the GOAT

I don't play much anymore but I always enjoy watching your videos, especially these time trial ones. GT7 isn't the greatest but I have to say it has some of the best online racing and modes of any console racer

As a Forza player w/o a ps5 i feel like GT7 is way better, more game modes, idunno if more cars, but definitely more realistic. I put his vods as a sleep aid😂

13:39 Best commentary I've heard from you, sincerely emotional, I'm in tears.

[@ShaneAndShaneGaming]

Thanks for posting! I have been hoping you would post these time trials so I could see what I’m doing wrong lol. Good gracious. I spent 4 hours in various 1-2 hour sessions trying to get gold, and your first lap beat my absolute best by 2 seconds! I can see so much of a difference in having a steering wheel & pedals (your video) vs a controller (like I use). Granted I know you are way better and more experienced than I am (we got PS5 for Christmas and GT7 for my sons birthday last weekend), but many of the turns you make just seem so much smoother and easier to make the right angle of braking/attack out of the corner with a wheel. Also watching your brake pedal and gas pedal sensor, definitely see a huge difference vs controller. Controller braking is very much all or nothing with little room for much variance in the middle! Btw, Loving the content! I came across a video from 7 months ago, where you said people watch you to fall asleep!!! Haha I do fall asleep watching your videos but not out of boredom… you make great content, I just happen to watch lots of your videos as I recently discovered your channel, and it’s usually bed time when I get to watch, so the inevitable happens! Keep up the great content, I’m definitely here for it!

Absolutely agree with you on getting fixated on the delta at the bottom of the screen. I feel like I'm legit faster in VR with the HUD turned off (so I can still see gears and rpm in cockpit view and maintain good vision)

[@IzzNotFound]

Dear Super GT, I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the incredible performance you displayed in your recent racing simulation video. Your skill, precision, and passion for the sport were truly captivating to watch. Your mastery of the virtual track is evident, and your ability to navigate challenging courses with such finesse is nothing short of impressive. The way you execute each turn, anticipate your opponents' moves, and maintain control of the vehicle demonstrates a level of expertise that is truly commendable. Moreover, your enthusiasm for racing shines through in every moment of your video. Your commentary provides valuable insights into your thought process and strategy, making the viewing experience both entertaining and educational. You have a knack for engaging your audience and creating an immersive atmosphere that keeps viewers eagerly anticipating each twist and turn. Your dedication to excellence and your unwavering commitment to your craft are an inspiration to aspiring racers and gaming enthusiasts alike. Your contributions to the racing simulation community are invaluable, and I have no doubt that your talent will continue to captivate audiences for years to come. Thank you for sharing your passion with the world and for setting such a high standard of excellence in the world of virtual racing. I eagerly await your future content and wish you continued success in all your endeavors. Best regards, Your dearest fan.

[@ProperContent6513]

Funny that he can get a Gold on his first attempt, while I had to grind it out for a solid two hours.

I’d say GT and Sega Rally are largely responsible for making this car so iconic. This is definitely one of the first cars I think of when I hear “Gran Turismo Car.”

It's actually comforting that you made the same mistakes as I did. Only you are more than 2 seconds faster than me ;) just managed to get to 53.3sth, struggled a lot with it. But should be enough for gold... awesome video and nice driving

good stuff Steve! i do time trails over days before reaching 'the' time. i like it.

[@steadyboost7]

Not sure if you know this or not, but the Anti Social Social Club Supra is actually one of the 5Zigen GT500 Supras. An old editor for Import Tuner bought the car (minus the drivetrain) from someone that purchased it through someone at Tanabe USA almost 20 years ago. It sat at the Import Tuner garage for years and collected dust while the owner sourced parts to try and replicate the drivetrain. But life happened and some time later, it ended up in the hands of the guy who owns ASSC. They re-did the livery for the GT7 25th anniversary capsule collections. Can't remember if he ever got it running under its own power, but the base car they used was a real deal race car back in the day.

[@mrctuned2844]

Man that was an awesome watch! Such a great combo for a challenge, gotta fire up the PSVR and give this a go. Fantastic driving Steve!

[@MrTystRacing]

I want a Daily race with the castrol Supra vs the Nissan Gtr GT500. And at the return of a classic track. Maybe Midfield Raceway? Apricot Hill? 🤔😄. A recurring nostalgia car class that only takes place at the classic tracks perhaps? 🤔

Very impressive lap time session, congrats

[@AndrewTheMexican]

I don’t now what your session timing was like that first day at this trial, but a practice structure when I was a music major that REALLY was a gamechanger for me was this: Practice for ~40 minutes, and break for 10-20 minutes, closer to 20 full minutes. Repeat that and I could practice all day with consistent momentum, progression, and and not overthinking my play. I bet a similar setup would work out for time trialing.

[@e_scrogg7346]

There is so much time to be gained and lost in those first 3 corners. Honestly glad that section is so early in the lap so I could retry without wasting so much time😂

[@Super_GT]

100% agree. I must have done 100 restarts alone for those corners.

[@dobiqwolf]

Watching your struggle the first day I was thinking you needed to stop and come back later and as you mentioned that was what you did. It helps to get out that repetitive mindset you described. I really enjoy your videos on GT7, I am not way as good as you but enjoy your uploads.

I see that 83 miles, it’s is true next day come back your muscle memory is still there and you just find it(time) fun watching you struggle like like rest of us.

[@MrTech1210]

Without being critical, if you’re manually shifting, I’d personally shift up slightly earlier than letting the engine bounce on the redline too long. You could be gaining a few extra mph shifting ever so slightly earlier than taking the engine to the very end of the limiter. The engine works harder to gain the very last few mph out of the gear ratio than it would shifting earlier to gain speed out of the next gear ratio. I’m saying it respectfully, your driving is very good 👌🏻. When you’re trying to gain 1/10th or 1/1000 of seconds, those earlier shifts might help you achieve that. Massive GT fan here, old scool GT-1 & GT-2 &3 player that loved the Castrol Tom’s Supra as an all time favourite ❤️. Great to see you racing it 😊
