That’s it. It was Snail tuning prohibited racing but within a preset PP range.

Basic rules…let’s say we chose 1600PP limit for the night. You pre choose 4 cars to race. All your cars had to add up to 1600pp. And you had to choose 1 FR, 1 FF, 1 MR and 1 4wd. All cars had to be within a certain range…say 380-420pp.

Just an example. There would be 4 races and you run each car once.

That’s kind of the gist of it.

Maybe it could include reasonably priced Legendary cars like the Camaro that’s currently on limited stock.

You could pick whatever you want within the game. That’s the beauty of it. At any one race there could be 16 different cars on track.

We would set guidelines beforehand like no race cars or vice versa because it’s not good to race cars with downforce against cars without. Each race everyone uses the same tires as well. But you can choose any car available to you as long as it’s in the PP range and uses the same tires.

So wish I had a PS4/5 I will of course do what I can to help if you guys do try and get this going!

I remember this was quite fun. I would be excited to see another snail event other than Sunday night.

This was the only suggestion for Prize B so the new track will be Laguna Seca. Thanks for participating.

@Timlour has nothing to do this week as far as prizes.

[IceWarden]

I love how they advertise FREE updates. Like in the future they will start charging for them.

@JLBowler

3PM ET is the deadline to make a suggestion for Prize A.

 

[JLBowler]

@IceWarden Below are you choices. The Viper will run on RM tires. Le Mans isn't a clear indication of track so we will have to assume that its the full track with chicanes.

Myself as well. It will go back to same settings for lobbies that were in GT Sport. I also noticed in for grid order it is now listed as Fastest first and Slowest first. Not sure how this will change how we been starting the lobbies for races with the new settings in place.

Good news! You’re still listed as a full time driver so, welcome back.

 

[IceWarden]

So the only thing we’re missing now is being able to set the grid manually?

Either a manual grid setting or, preferrably, the old fastest or slowest first based on previous race results.

I’ll open practice lobby this evening
, curious too see if stability in multiplayer lobbies are better, too be honest that’s the biggest issue, adding more settings for lobbies is awesome but are useless as long as multiplayer is very unstable.

 

[Skills]

All drivers need to optimize their internet connections. Static IP added to the router’s DMZ, hardwired, etc.
Even restarting your modem, PlayStation and clearing the cache can help stability.

 

[JLBowler]

I have been doing quite a bit of reading and research about lobby stability in GT7 and I believe it can be attributed to all lobbies being fixed host as opposed to the mesh network that we are used to. In reading the GT7 manual, it states that if room ownership is fixed and the host leaves, the room will be closed. This is exactly what happens in all lobbies at this point. Elsewhere in the manual, transfer of room ownership is mentioned. I believe this to be another mistake or oversight on the part of PD and the intent was to have both fixed and non-fixed hosts as in previous games. Fixed host lobbies simply do not give the same stability that you can get from a mesh network where all players are connected to all other players. All information has to go through a third party (the host) to be exchanged between two players if one of them is not the host.

If this is correct, we should make sure that those hosting have the best internet connections. The only way to do this is for people to be honest about their setups, connection speeds, ping and latency rates.

If you are connected via wi-fi, go buy a cable and fix your problem. This includes anything other than a cable to your modem. I've heard of people with a wi-fi router and a short cable to the PS. That's still being connected via wi-fi. If you can't run a cable, just assume that you are the problem if there are any issues in the lobby. If you're trying to run satelite internet or trying to connect via 5G, that's not going to be an optimal situation either.

 

[IceWarden]

With this in mind I can try and host Sunday. I have a pretty solid wired Fios Gig connection.

 

[racingchamp30]

Under sport mode with the newest update, we can test connection quality from the sport menu before entering the races. When i tested mine, it read as Ping 45 ms and said under it "This is a good network environment". I been running on wired ethernet connection for past 3 Sundays and connection is more solid. Connection speed for me is 75.3 Mbps download and 10.9 Mbps upload. I get an even faster Download and Upload when the weather is cooler Sunday nights during racing.

 

[JLBowler]

Sport mode connects you to a dedicated server. Lobbies are P2P.

Is any one else having issues getting the Integra type R DC2 ‘98?
