Yes

Absolutely

[@TSG_Ballverlust]

It helps me fall to sleep ( not because it's boring, i watch his videos from start to finish, then i go to sleep😅)

[@CO-ty7nf]

Thanks, it’s nice to watch a good driver struggle the same way I do as a slow noob. Makes me feel like my struggles are normal.

[@StephenDeTomasi]

I feel like some minimal TC would have made this a lot less painful. Real GT3 cars pretty much always run some level of TC and it is actually quicker to do so

[@africanpenguin3104]

@@StephenDeTomasiI think gt7 is very generous when it comes to traction tho but games like ACC you need TC in my experience

[@Oishiilicious]

Sim racing is sometimes such a pain when you try to get better

[@Super_GT]

100%. You could even argue that if it isn't painful, then you're not pushing hard enough!

[@tozkal96]

thats why i never try to get better, i just drive and race for the sake of it. its more fun that way for me, grinding is the worst part of any game in my opinion. well i do try to get better its fun training technique, but getting that millimeter perfect lap isn't fun for me.

[@-mv]

​@@tozkal96 I've never read a comment I disagreed with so much in my life. You are genuinely the furthest polar opposite to me. Grinding is my favorite part of anything ever. Seeing the progression is what makes life so much more!!

@@Super_GT Mario Andretti said it best: if you feel in control of the car, you’re not going fast enough. Something along these lines anyways, I’m too lazy to search the actual quote 💀

[@Hinterhof-qx5ql]

This shows how important your current mood/mindset is for setting good times. I always end up in that state of overdriving the car. The only thing that helps is to close the game for some time and come back relaxed with a clear head.

[@Zzzarco]

I love how good you are at pausing before you hit barriar

[@Super_GT]

Don't want to damage the car =)

[@williamwiltsey3184]

experience is a great teacher

[@Thiago100Zwetsch]

So, I think Pholyphony should find a way to leave the ghost of the player's best time always available, even if he leaves the session. And I think PD could also model the car ghost in a gradient from a solid ghost to a real ghost, the closer the ghost is the less opacity it will have

[@discipleofthelorentz]

I recall in older games you could save a replay/ghost and then load the ghost on a later attempt when you return

[@arcticpenguin.]

You can save your best lap replay, but you dont get that counter saying how fast or slow you are compared to

[@sushihusi35]

@@arcticpenguin. you also have to exit each time and save the best lap replay manually, if you hit retry your lap is gone

[@tvguy316]

This feels pretty obvious to me aswell, like many others things in this game but what can you do.

[@KikuraKun]

​@@sushihusi35No? Your ghost would still be there even if you retry, as long as you post the lap cleanly and faster than previous time.

The day gets IMMEDIATELY better the millisecond Super GT uploads

[@FrogMyshnoople]

Bro talking about the dT time interval

[@MrVegemiteman23]

I always have identical experiences with time trials. Set an awesome lap time in just a couple attempts, but know there's significant improvement there and try too hard and overdrive the car off the track dozens of times over. So frustrating!

[@SuperGeronimo999]

You know what's even worse? Feeling old. Knowing that time isn't on your side, knowing you won't be better but worse in a year from now.

[@GreatPotato36]

@@SuperGeronimo999 ??

[@David-lr2vi]

Same here. It really kills you on the Nurburgring when you bin it due to the length of the lap.

Makes so much sense, when you're trying to improve your strongest enemy is actually yourself.

[@isax3003]

Super GT. Supra Tip here: In order to maximize the engine power. Shift at the beginning of the third part of the RPM bar indicator. You can see this in the car's performance page. Hope It helps. That is why the other supras have more speed.

[@alvaroboto931]

Hey, I'm awful with anything that isn't driving (and I'm not even that good at that bit either), what is the performance page and where do you find it? Thank you!

[@RyanBridge-rl9vf]

Seeing this video made me really happy well not the part of failing but the part of you struggling it made me feel like it's ok to struggle. I recently got a fanatec and its been pretty hard for me to get back to how good I was on controller ive been having more fun on it but its way harder, but seeing you someone that got me into sim racing struggling makes me feel like this is all apart of the process before I get back too it all.

The commitment to get a sub 7:50 lap is commendable. Congrats!

[@QuixoticApex]

The Nordschleife is the perfect example of death by a thousand cuts if ever there was one. A tenth here, a quarter of a second there and after a 100 turns your 10 seconds off the aliens. I like racing against ghost, but I find that I really struggle when I’m super close to them, which sucks because that typically means I’m doing well. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@MeAndTheBoys_]

Steve, looks like you leveled up. You are getting there! That first lap, your driving was much more....concentrated, your driving was different than before. I can tell you've been driving more, on the sim and in real life. You have the speed, but you need to stop thinking too much. The right car with the attitude of the second 7:50 lap....that is the winning combo! The speed is there already, you just need to tap into it. You need to get into " the zone" . Start driving, forget the camera, forget everything else, just drive because that is what you know and love the most. It'll come to you. Let the instinct to take over 👍 0:41 " This is very different. This is straight up, drive the car as fast as possible, dont worry about anything else, lets see what we can get" You said it Steve.....THAT IS IT! Relaxed, but instinct taking over. You'll do just fine, young man. You've got this in the bag already, just let the driver loose, you might be holding him back. But whatever you do, keep at it, this is your chosen profession and more 👍 PS: Of course you can get to the level of the top drivers, they are no different than you. If they have done like 7:44 etc, you can do the same. If it has tarmac, we can kill it! Hi from Finland 👋 #NoShortcutToSkill #GetGood #PuttingInTheHours

It's my personal favourite because it was used to do the track practice of the Nurburging in GT Sport, and I had so much fun doing it

You should check the wheel settings, it can be tuned for better control of the car. Sometimes less force feedback force is easier to drive, also sensitivity etc...

[@ImCrrzy]

Top50 if you’d do your yearly 100laps of Nurburgring stream😄

[@l.voelker7519]

That's the ultimate proof that a pro Sim Rig is definitely worth the money. Every day one GT player knows exactly what I mean: Imagine how many controllers most of us would have smashed just for this one time trial? Such a Fanatec wheel is solid mounted. You just cannot throw it instantly against a wall. And even if you are Chuck Norris, you would smash the wall with it. What is definitely cheaper to fix.😅

Absolutely insane how quick those leaderboards changed. You went from a very high leaderboard time early on to the very next day, that time was bumped down to the top 120 😮

Being too conscious of the slightest of improvements can really be stressful, knowing that you can push further but only end up making mistakes instead.

[@ThatGuyGloomy]

Driving the Nordschleife is like therapy to me. Whenever life gets becomes a little to much i go spend about an hour trimming my lap time.😅😂

[@MrGatanasov]

I found that the Sardegna Group C builds feel nicer due to them running 500/1500 aero which helps with rear feeling light.

[@jarod9793]

26:39. It’s yours and my favorite part of the track for one simple reason. We’ve both done this section (rounding to the nearest billionth) one billion times for the IA-10 license. I got it. But damn if it wasn’t almost the death of me.

if you exit out form track after setting a good lap and save the best lap replay from option, you can load it even if you pick a different car.

[@MegaEmmanuel09]

I'm glad you struggle on the power in the same places I do, so I know it's not JUST a skill issue, but a quirk of the track. 😅

[@Sharpened_Spoon]

Be neat if Polyphony did an “optimal ghost” which takes all the optimal sectors of all the laps in the session and stitches them together.

[@uspnightfire115]

Immediately knew it was going to be a good one when I fired up the video and saw it was 30 minutes long 😂

[@arturseversons3444]

Damn dude, I admire your patience and determination 😁 I would have given up after 10 tries max.

Been watching your videos for a while now, the most consistent thing you seem to do when compared to top players is brake slightly later. It seems to look like it makes it a bit more difficult to control the car throughout the turn, and esp. on exits.

when I practice for something or take part in a hotlap competition I never restart. I make a mistake and keep going. this lap time will obviously be bad, but the practice you get from the rest of the lap still counts, it doesn't break your rhythm and it causes much less frustration overall
