The Time Trial of Nostalgia 

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

Thank you for the nice words, well done on your lap too 🙏

I'm loving the uploads. I don't know what it is but your race craft and just the format of your videos makes your videos the choice for me to watch while I'm having a meal in front of my PC.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 RU-vid 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

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

What you said about taking a break and coming back later is so true, feels like driving numb and robotic. Not paying attention to the little things that make the time.

I was SO proud of my 1:52.400 and you almost beat that in your second “warm up” attempt 😂

anyone who plays trackmania knows understands the grind

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

15:55 up to this point you literally forgot about 4th gear exits

Self Torture. Suspense. Broken Mic Stand & Outfit Changes ... This video had everything and more. My neck hurts but my heart is happy. Well done sir 👏

Did so many laps round here back in 97/98 in the Castrol Toms Supra

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!

So happy to see you uploading this frequently! ❤ Love your videos!!

Time trials are my favorite piece of content that you put out and this one didn’t disappoint! Love seeing your process and incremental improvements!

All these frustrating moments and replays over and over since the PS2 era.... and we still love it and play over and over. GT forever.

I absolutely loved this. 53.1 was my best so I'm not looking forward to you showing me up but I was back on this again today. So much fun chucking this car around here.

I love your videos so much! I find the way you commentate on your mistakes and your areas of potential improvement so interesting.

I LOVE your time trial vids, happy to have another one to replay. 👍🏽

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!

really like vids where you hunt for good times. i think you can get even more insane at the game by doing that often.

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)

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

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

The amount of high quality practice it takes to get into the flow for one run is massive, awesome work

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

I see the frustration for trying to get this great lap. I recognise it to myself. I want to ride lap after lap but sometimes it's a better choice to take some rest and try again later. Concratulations Steve!

This was nostalgic for me! I was almost back in the past. I'm 51 now and I've played GT1,2,3,4,5, and GTsport. Haven't had any hardware since GT sport so it's been a while for me. Thanks for the memories lol

This just shows how much dedication time trials really take. Great content bro

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

I wanted you to get nice and tight into the dirt going left before the back straight the whole video. Your brain just hates that corner but you persevered, kept coming back and striving. Good work brotha.

It really do be those laps that just feel okay, not good nor bad, that turn out to be the smooth and quick ones. After coming off the track to see my times the ones I went full send into are the quickest but the flowy sessions are barely 10% slower

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 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.

It's insulting how quick you get these, gold took me ages :P

Oh God, i love the current Video Upload schedule. Keep it up 👌

Loved the video Steve. Have a good one

it brings me joy everytime you upload

Thank you steve for makeing this type of videos, by watching you I'm always able to improve my driving skills

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.”

this is some craaaazy dedication....you just gained a subscriber

insane to think there's another second in there or possibly more, good job

loved to see the struggle is real with everyone. I strived to hit the silver and finally made it after 200 miles ran on this lap we all have goals I'm new to racing with a wheel and loving it can't wait to see next weeks challenge .

Very Cool to watch this. I've played GT for a long time and am itching to get into GT7 with a new wheel. Maybe I can get some slick times

Dude, you are absolutely hilarious. Love the reactions and your commitment. Keep it up!

This is indeed one of the super gts of all time

always joy and fun watching your content :) greetings from germany

Got my first wheel (Logitech G29) for the Ps4 last night and I got down to a 1:54:0 after around 10-15 laps. Alot more practice is needed but I will never go back to a controller on GT7 now 😂 Loving this video and it's given me some good tips on how to improve :) Great stuff man!

Love the hot lap vidoes. I get really invested lol

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.

Very impressive lap time session, congrats

Omg how is this guy sooo good! Keep up the good work, mate! Btw please give me some tips on Dragon Trail Seaside Thx

My gf and I played this and your 100 percent right about taking a break and coming back. Keep up the good work!

Love your stuff man if race this track a million times thanks man

Epic watch, my Thrustmaster recently broke so im on the controller for a while until my new Fanatec set up arrives. Once its here im gonna get back on the grind for fast laps 🙂

Always passioning to watch your videos

Well done! That livery never gets old!

That is quite a commitment and congrats.

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? 🤔

Hello SuperGT i just wanted to say. Thank you for all your hard work on this channel. I really enjoy watching you race and learn in the process. I know how hard it is to create content and keep everyone happy. Regardless of this , i have been following you for over a year now and i loved the fund raising stream you had. You helped a lot of children and that is my dream one day . Maybe I will be able to do the same soon. You are a absolute legend mate 🤘🏁

Your videos are great as always! fun to watch, a bit of comedy and informative as well. As someone who wants to make GT7 videos, I want to ask you, do you write rough scripts for your videos? What is your process of making these?

I had a lot of fun with this one, got gold within 20 min. Got to 2.64% from the top, pretty happy with that. Thanks for the vid Steve!

Very good video, Enjoyed the whole thing

I would like to thank you for allowing me to find a new hobby for which I have infinite pleasure, and after several hundred hours of games I finally managed to obtain gold in this race, and all that because of you, Thank you for your videos which explain how to properly take curves, acceleration, braking distance... I want to thank you for passing on your knowledge so that other players can improve. It's the little things that make us happy and this is one of them! gg and continue to be the man you are:)

This "mood" is so ralatable, sometimes i had a break for a few days and when i started doing something again (like a time trial) i nailed it on the second lap sooo much better i did not understand how xD But a good break can help :)

watching all the way from kenya🇰🇪 love your content bro❤

Thanks Culver City PD. Lol. Duquesne and Jefferson are one of the only camera left

the final chicane on GT4 was so good. straight through. damn.

Get in there Steve. Miracles do happen, mate. 🔥

Great lap, honestly from watching it felt like if you kept grinding i think you could possibly get below 1:51 Haven't had a PlayStation in over a decade so thank you from allowing myself to live my Gran Turismo love vicariously through you Cheers

13:23 This is so frustrating because you gain nothing by bumping in the wall and end up losing the entire lap. It drives me so mad, indeed

You really drive me on to improve my driving and to drive faster lap times. I'm still WAY slower than you (playing with a controller, no space for a wheel....), but my own driving is improving through your explanations of how to attack these tracks, thank you!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who was spinning at the start of the lap, I need a lot more practice as I'm only in the 55's. I think I'm pretty terrible at the last chicane in particular and the left hander in to the tunnel

Hello Super GT, Sgt. Pepper here, it's cool my time on the leaderboard showed up in your video, I can die happy now 😂

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 😊

That first lap was super clean 👏👏

"The Longest Straight In The World" - Super GT

This was my first ever online time trial event… pretty sure I did 10 laps before I was happy with my time. Exit to see where it lands on the leaderboard, and am baffled at there being no recorded best time! Apparently I managed to make every lap red without even realizing that was a thing. The line between in and out is so fine, it took a lot of concentration to find that limit for sure. Still… you got gold on your practice lap, lol… I was pushing to hit bronze times 🤣

well done bro!!

I usually put the time trial off until the night it is expiring so the gold time doesn't move on me but Steve has me hyped to drive this one today.

the implied pressure >

You are an amazing RU-vidr Steve.

Absolutely spot on with taking a break Lewis. You definitely do start over driving to gain time but end up loosing time as a consequence. However, i do admire your dedication, i'd have tapped you way before you 🤣 this is why you're my favourite GT RU-vidr. I'm not even going to start on the jealousy working with Misha 😝 i'd love you to go head to head in a 992 GT3RS around the ring (obviously in GT7) 🤣🤣🤣 If you've not fell asleep already by reading this, you don't happen to have a lap time in that car do you? Something i can use to see how many train lengths i am behind you. Time Trial totally stock 992 GT3RS. I spend most of my time in a Porsche, i just love how they handle, with a realistic push understeer and a fantastic factory car around the ring 🤟

Super GT in a Supra GT! Love it!! Great job, as always, Steve!

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😂

What’s that’s funky bass line in the beginning??? I love that.

Awesome commitment to the task Steve. You didn’t seem to change up to 4th early as you saw Jack performing or am I wrong? On another note I really find Lao 1-4 to always be my best, and so agree that more restarts may help some viewers.

It’s pretty mad to see how far this game has come ❤❤😊

Brother, you crushed my hopes and dreams on that first lap lol.

Well done, Champ 🏆 👏 Tidge seemed to be in 4th gear about 4 years early through 3rd gear turn...

I m from INDIA i wait till late night for your videos super fan from india and i m really learning your way of driving and practicing it on ps controller . Big salute to you ❤️🫂🫡

FFS Steve. you jumped in and did in 1 lap what took me 20 laps to get near. You legend!

"Don’t be sad because it’s over, be happy because it happened." -Dr Seuss

tricky circuit and tricky vehicle, very interesting time trial. hard to exit corners flat out.

I raced against you yesterday on red bull ring. I don't know why but my car wouldn't start from the line, it just stands there
