Mr_B021

Congrats to @velio84 for taking top spot this week. Should be fun racing this track on Sunday. Great to see @Quintumply joining in on the fun. I hope you’ll join us again next week.

Push Square GT7 Fastest Lap Challenge - week 5

Hey all, it's Monday so here's the midweek fastest lap challenge. A quick reminder for anyone that hasn't taken part yet, each week I'll 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.

This week I've coupled a car usually driven by a certain type of people with a track that I know people will also feel quite strongly about, and for a real kicker it's the REVERSE layout (take note @Kairu πŸ˜‰)

Track: Dragon Trail - Seaside Reverse
Car: BMW M3 '07
Settings: Default settings sheet (if you think you might have changed settings just create a new sheet)
Tyres: Sports Hard
Time of day: 09:30
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 -

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 of the times screen as per this example:

Upload the image to Twitter or another sharing service e.g. imgur.com and post the link here. Please try and leave it till Friday to post your screenshot so as not to influence other peoples times but I can appreciate that this won't always be possible e.g. going on holiday. I'll take a look at all the screenshots and pick the driver with the fastest lap and they will be awarded the prize of being a Smug G(i)T and be able to bask in the glory of their achievement for an entire week before we start all over again.

Please let me know if you are thinking of taking part as it'd be great to gage interest, otherwise your time starts now - good luck with your ultimate driving machine!

Push Square GT7 Fastest Lap Challenge - results week 5

That's week 5 of the Push Square Fastest Lap Challenge wrapped up. That BMW was quite different over a full lap than I was expecting. Sponges for brakes and at times it felt like a bit of a barge but at least it had a bit of top speed. It seems at the moment we've got one every week but this weeks RTFM award goes to @JudgeDredd with a classic - using the wrong car. Can't wait to see what turns up next week.

So here we have the top 3...

1st πŸ₯‡: @Kairu 2:00.266
2ndπŸ₯ˆ: @Mr_B021 2:00.918
3rdπŸ₯‰: @Abarth_71 2:02.986

Congrats to Kairu for just pipping Mr_B021 to that top spot. I thought Mr_B021 had got it done until that last minute entry there. Well done to Abarth_71 for getting back to the podium and setting a very respectable time. All you guys truly are BMW drivers 😎

The rest of the times were as follows:

4th: @nitram2k11 2:03.166
5th: @MatthewJP 2:03.698
6th: @Velio84 2:03.879
7th: @render 2:05.704
8th: @JudgeDredd 2:14.537 (10 second penalty for using the wrong car)

No entries this week from @Quintumply and @Jimmer-jammer but hope to see you guys on the next one. Catch you guys then!

You all spoke and we heard you… presenting the Dior Gran Turismo collaboration

Haha. But seriously, I kind of like bizarre collabs like this. I’d love to see it a lot more in Gran Turismo.

Push Square GT7 Fastest Lap Challenge - week 6

Hey all, it's Monday so here's the midweek fastest lap challenge.

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.

As we all missed out on driving the Alfa yesterday I've only gone and included one in the challenge this week. Perhaps as it's an Alfa it's more a question of whether you will get to the end rather than how fast but this one should be interesting.

Track: Alsace - Village Reverse
Car: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione '08
Settings: Default settings sheet (if you think you might have changed settings just create a new sheet)
Tyres: Sports Hard

Push Square GT7 Fastest Lap Challenge - results week 6

There we go, week 6 all wapped up. Sorry the results are slightly late this time round but that's what happens when you get into a heated game of Hunt: Showdown. Without further ado it's time to see who was the Alpha Alfa.

So here we have the top 3...

1st πŸ₯‡: @Kairu 2:17.032
2ndπŸ₯ˆ: @MatthewJP 2:18.737
3rdπŸ₯‰: @JudgeDredd 2:20.037

Congrats to Kairu for being top dog for the second week in a row and absolutely blowing away my expectations for a lap time.

The rest of the times were as follows:

4th: @Abarth_71 2:20.686
5th: @render 2:21.228
6th: @nitram2k11 2:21.686

There's quite a few missing from this weeks challenge so I'll probably see how it goes next week and then make a call as to whether to put it down for a bit. Hopefully catch you guys for the next one.

Push Square GT7 Fastest Lap Challenge - week 7

Hey all, it's Monday so here we go. This might be the last one I publish for a while as uptake has been slow so hopefully this will be an enjoyable one. 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.

This one should be easy, should be. Of course it will probably turn out to be anything but, especially when you try and go faster.

Track: Autodrome Lago Maggiore - West End Reverse
Car: Toyota GR Yaris RZ "High Performance" '20
Settings: Default settings sheet (if you think you might have changed settings just create a new sheet)
Tyres: Sports Hard
Time of day: 17:30

So good luck everyone, use that "High Performance" to the max.

@Quintumply Bad luck, hope you weren't too ill with it and you are feeling better now. It's better now it's less of an issue for the majority of people but still can hit you quite hard regardless of age / fitness etc. Looking forward to seeing your time this week πŸ˜€

@Kairu Hopefully it should be a lot of fun this time round πŸ‘

1:03.687. Great track/car combination, but that slow left hander can f* off..

@Quintumply I hope you’re feeling better. It took me a couple of weeks to get back to 100%

Mine was a 1.06.730. I should have taken it easy but was way too fast into that slow left hander and every lap hit the wall πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
