hello viewers super gt here if you head over to the license section in gran turismo 7 and go to international a eventually you get to the final exam and it's this ia-10 nurburgring nordschleifer in the mercedes amg gtr it takes place on a very fast and fearsome section of the circuit and you're driving a car which isn't particularly grippy or easy to drive now many of you have commented in my videos and live streams that this section or this test is one of the ones that you've had a lot of difficulty with and given that it's actually one of my favorite parts of the track on one of my favorite tracks i felt rather compelled to give it a good go and see what i could really achieve around here so in order to get a gold time you have to you have to do this test in under 57.90 and this run is going to be just below that and i drive the car fairly safely here just to give you a demonstration of what the circuit looks like how the car handles and actually well if anything it doesn't really show you how the car handles because i didn't really push the car at all if you begin to push this car it's very easy to spin it out to lose control and it doesn't turn in particularly well so that's the final corner across the line and we score a 57.5 so just a couple of tenths better than the required 57.9 but there's definitely a lot of room for improvement we're driving this the mercedes amg gt uh gtr and you can see it's in the green hell color quite conveniently because we're driving around the greenhouse so you've got a very heavy cumbersome car around a very fast sweeping section of the nurburgring this is definitely quite a difficult combination to get right and i do think it's a very good test it ends quite conveniently on youtube corner which is that corner there and named such because many people crash in real life and then the videos of those crashes end up on youtube so you have the difficult section you end up on youtube corner hopefully we won't be having too many crashes on youtube corner all of you people on youtube to watch so this is a comparison between a 57.5 on the left and a 56.5 on the right just to give you enough of an idea of what a slight improvement looks like so the one on the left actually you see is during the day the one on the rise during the night or during the evening and the one right i did just before the game actually launched and they've actually patched it since so the conditions are slightly different although i don't think it really affected the car performance but you can see what roughly a second gap looks like here between two runs and most of it was actually done in the first couple of corners so as we come up to the finish line that's what a second gap looks like and then see confirmation of the two times 565 on the right 57.5 on the left i knew that we could get a lot quicker than a 56.5 it was a good time 1.4 seconds quicker than the gold requirement but there's definitely room for improvement and you can see here the way i was doing it was racing against my personal best ghost and then and then by comparing yourself to your ghost you can see where you can improve and you see for example just that corner there carried more speed and across the line 56-1 again good improvement but i certainly know i can go quicker than that bit wide through the final corner on this attempt up to the line we go and it's a 56-0 so we took that final corner pretty badly oh we still got a 56-0 again look at the comparison here between myself and the ghost just just keeping a little bit closer to the apex and carrying more speed and even though i go wide you have to take that into consideration actually okay i can go through that bit quicker so i know that i can definitely go faster than a 56-0 it's just a matter of putting it all together in the same run that's the difficult part on this attempt here you see just slightly behind the ghost but we knew it took up quite a bad line for the final corner i'll just keep it nice and cool for that final turn and improve to a 55.8 so i was into the 55s very very happy with that because it was four tenths quicker than the next best on my friends list i knew i could do better so i started a live stream and here's my attempt to improve so this is the the last one in international way this is actually going to be a very hard one to beat i know i can beat this time it's just you know it's just not easy is it 56-0 i can oh man i can definitely beat that ghost for that first sector oh my god i was ahead of the ghost then i say 55 80s i'm close to my personal limit so once you're at your personal limit it's very hard to to beat it but we'll give it a jolly good go shall we [Applause] [Applause] yes come on that look at that half a second quicker than second place whoa come on 55 7 i didn't think i'd get 0.7 i think i could get a 0.8 a quicker 0.8 than what i got before but i will take that so you can see there i was very happy to beat my 55.8 and get to a 55.7 i was genuinely convinced that i was not really able to improve by very much more than i did to get a 55 7 i think was a very good time but something still compelled me to give this test a go i think most normal people will probably stop as soon as they get gold and most people would stop once they get a bit of an improvement but i felt drawn to try to get even further up the leaderboard here so there's a couple of failures let's say a couple of failures i've edited out i've edited out a lot of the failure and that is part of the process of trying to get a top time trial time now eventually on my next couple of runs here i managed to get a 55758 now it might seem frustrating that i didn't beat my time but it's good because i now have the ghost back of a time which is very close to my best record so i know that if i just beat that ghost i'm pretty much going to beat my record except there's a couple attempts here where that one i just gave up this one just a little bit too eager on the power couldn't quite control it this one this one was pretty close i was very very close to the ghost just pushed a little bit too much through the penultimate corner there and went a little bit wide now this one you see there gave a good launch off of the fourth corner and you can see a comparison between myself and the ghost now sometimes it's a good idea to turn the ghost off so you don't really feel pressured by it i wanted to check where i was quicker than the go so you see here i'm clearly faster than that 55.758 so i know that i can do better i know that i can go maybe a 55 six not on this attempt though so we slid out and hit the barrier how about this one well again neck and neck with the ghost into the final couple of corners so it's definitely possible going down the hill getting close to the apex on the power of the nice time getting away from the go slightly into the final corner really nice rotation close to the apex on the power perfectly up to the line ahead of the ghost it's a 55.5 and that is the improvement i knew i could get i knew i could do a 555 after after comparing myself to the ghost a couple of times i knew that that improvement was on i could do it and i i i admired that run a little bit with this very cool replay angle before jumping back in because even though that was a good time i still felt like i go quicker now this attempt here look 55.6 not an improvement somewhat frustrating but i think it's good that i was able to do this time consistently i was able to do a mid 55 fairly consistently another 155.7 so even though again not an improvement it's good that i'm able to get fairly close consistently i captioning not [Applause] that's at least a couple of times surely at least a temple too so i had a really good first half of this run through here again the ghost is still behind this corner very easy to over commit and go wide on i actually took it fairly well there then it's just downhill right just a little bit wider the apex by maybe half a car with those catches up and a little bit out of control then i over corrected from the second to last on soy on the on the final corner youtube corner and you so you all saw that my absolute bottle job in the final turn but it was only a couple of times later but i managed this and i beat my ghost to get a 55-5 again a slight improvement i took a tiny break and then jumped back in and this guy's is my best attempt this is my best time let's have a look at it in its entirety so this first corner you can take you can take flats out i had a slight lift get the car turned in early use a slight mountain of the curb on both the left and the right and here's all about patience waiting waiting and then on the power using the grass as actually a way to extend the corner and get on the power a little bit earlier committing to the grass once again this car actually very comfortable over the curbs and there's this curve here the right look at that all over it and then a little bit on the exit as well committing very early to this corner getting the car in nice and early to the corners is crucial because it really does turn in very slowly this is the fast run i've turned the ghost off for this one because i didn't want the pressure of it actually i've turned it back on there just to see an update progress into the final corner can we get this right we are ahead of the ghost as we come through the final corner the run to the line is good it's going to be a 55.2 and i could not believe that i had done that that was as about as good as i could ever do i'm pretty sure surely 55.2 a second quicker than the second best of my friend's list i wanted to compare myself to the very best so i added the world champion valerio gallo and world finalist baptist bevoir and you can see the comparison there i was basically level with the 2021 gran turismo world champion b racer so i'm in good company with that lap time one tenth away from baptist beauvoir he's very very quick on time trials when he really gets going so to be in that sort of company i felt as i achieved a really really good time and i was super happy with it could i go any quicker i think it's possible to maybe go into a 55 one if i've really got every corner perfect but what is actually possible here i think a 54 is doable it would only probably be a 54 9 8 4 8 absolute best so to be only a few tenths away from that i'm extremely happy and i think i set a very very good time there and if there's one thing you need to take away from this video guys it's that whatever you think your limit is you can definitely beat it as long as you practice in the right way race against your ghost see where you're going wrong see where you can go quicker and you can beat it the amount of times i thought that's my best time and then i beat it not long after it was like not once it was multiple times so it just shows you you can improve but i do hope you enjoyed this video thank you so much for watching i hope you enjoyed it get yourself subscribed if you're not already but that is all for me today thank you so much for watching i'll catch you next time goodbye [Music] you
