But @benjoi84 is saying that this thread has declared the game a failure based on one incomplete set of dailes that not many people have even played yet.
As for the single player - it is what you make of it. If you take a car with max PP for each race and obliterate the AI, then yeah of course it is boring. I had a great time last night trying to beat the Classic Sunday Cup in the old mini. Adding parts to a slow car IS the essence of GT's history.

I drive an underpowered car for the races as well and often don’t finish first. But I still don’t feel like I’ve been in one race. I’ve just been in a series of countdown time challenges, and as it stands just getting a rwd car around a lap without spinning is challenge enough.
As for your other point you’re quite correct. I only bought this game for online and would happily remove the entirety of the single player aspect of it which is why I’d advocate a clear delineation of the two. The game clearly isn’t for me in its current state.

That's the thing though. Atm there is no incentive to grind single player for credits when there is nothing to look forward to in sport mode (yet). The biggest negatives to me are, no penalties, no SR indications, not even after the race. And still, someone gets punted into a wall, the victim gets 1.5 sec wall penalty, the punter nothing. Payout is still peanuts in sport mode, yet now you have to buy tires at the minimum to even be able to enter the race.
Atm, sport mode in GT7 is simply quite a bit worse than in GTS. Very bad first impressions.

I just noticed next week's GTS daily races are up at KP:
A: Red Bull Ring Short Track, 6 laps, N200 provided car
B: Blue Moon Bay Speedway II: 10 laps, GR3, RM tires
C: Lago Maggiore West: 15 laps, GR2, RM/RH tires

I think I’ll stick with sport but not sure there will be any one playing

I'll be playing, but since I'm down at DR C I doubt we'll see each other. It looks like it will take me a while to qualify for online on GT7. I have to say that my first impressions of it are not too favorable. The GTS interface seems more mission-oriented while GT7 seems more like some world-building game interface. I'd rather click on dropdown menus than navigate a map and endure fake people telling me stories that I have to click and click to get through. Maybe I'll get used to it as time goes on.

The Sunday Cup is always boring cause number 1, you win, number 2 the car drives slow in a way. Yeah I'll stick with GTS for now and then later when gt7 goes down in price i'll buy it. As for now, I need to focus on getting to lvl 50 also. Now have any of you been able to get all the golds? I mean the hard ones. I've done almost 40 races and still only 1 win. What is the best Gr. 3/Gr. 4 car to use to get the best lap times/results?

I'll be on Blue moon bay! I wish that was a C race again with fuel saving, but oh well, wreckfest it is.

I had an interesting couple of C races this afternoon. In the first one, I started P6 but by the first couple of turns on the Nord I had been attacked by a roving band of Brazilians several times and was now last at P17 with 3.0 seconds of penalty. So I decided to just have fun and see how much penalty I could rack up. I hit walls, violated the track bounds, etc., but the most I could get was 7.5 seconds. I just couldn't seem to accumulate more. By the time I started lap 2 I was almost 3 minutes behind the leader and running in P13, still last but people ahead of me had quit. Then, horror of horrors, I was catching up to P12! Next thing I knew I was right behind him watching him crash. Now I was P12. But luckily he quit, so I still finished last!
The next race I decided to switch to the Supra. I hadn't driven it before, but I figured, what was there to lose? I started P4 in this race and soon was P2. The Supra does seem to stick the corners better than the McLaren I usually drive. I got passed by a guy so was back to P3 which held to the straight on the last lap when he took a penalty and I should have been able to pass him. I say "should have" and I would have except he swerved in front of me to block and I gave him a bump instead of a pass which sped him up and slowed me down. Very irritating!

The amount of people who want to go double wide through places like Adenauer First, Ex-muhle and other narrow spots is seemingly endless.
Still a fun race.

After reading all the bug reports in the GT7 bug forum, I'm really happy the GTS daily races are continuing at least for a while!

That was it. No more Nordschleife this week.
There's a lot of blistering fast qualifiers who isn't as fast in race.

You are Mr. Bayrische MotorenWerke. My gr.3 M4 and Z4 are also sponsored by Jägermeister. My gr.4 M4 has a 'Diebels Alt' livery. This Beer brewery sponsored the BMW M3 in the 90's also. I already loved their cars when I was a kid. The dark green coloured cars, with golden stripes and the Diebels Alt logo were pleasing my eyes, lol, and it was my father's favourite beer.
Another sponsor for BMW was John player Special, so it's a choice of alcoholic beverages or cigarette's ;-)
Since your car's look so nicely done, I thought it might be of interest for the time, when the gt7 cars are up for new liveries.

GT Sport Daily Races: Blue Remembered Hills
Although Gran Turismo 7 is now out, GT Sport shows no signs of slowing down any time soon, with a new set of Daily Races now available to players...

Sorry, if I missed it before, haven't been on here in a while. But with GT7 out now, are DR common between GTS and GT7 now!?? If I play GTS and impact my DR, will it apply to GT7, and vice versa? I raced some on GTS over the weekend, and it appears to update my DR, but what will happen when I jump onto GT7 now?

I have never raced at LM-West nor raced group 2 at LM at all so I really look forward to Race C this week assuming I will have people to play with. Beats the hell out of doing the cafe menu...... what a dredge that is, man.

I had a great week on N24 last week and raced way too much as usual. I banked a lot of victories from the back thanks to resetting my DR/SR every day in the hope I would start at D/E for GT7. (It didn't work, ended up as C/B in GT7)
My (potentially) last race on N24 in GT Sport
I managed one more fastest lap in the top split room. It was quieting down a bit by 9pm, earlier the front was doing 8:11 laps. My best last week was 8:16 flat. I stopped improving a few milliseconds from breaking into the 8:15's.
Great racing yesterday, high quality, mostly clean all day. Not so much on Saturday, nor before. Going from D/E to B/S every day before resetting again showed a familiar pattern. Faster yet more clumsy and aggressive driving in lower SR. Slower and more defensive driving to downright blocking in higher SR. Lower SR more ramming, higher SR more pushing off and driving in the mirror. I could set fast lap times in lower SR, not so much in higher SR. Block till you drop kind of racing.
Racing would be better if people were a bit smarter about defending. Basically what happens in SR.S: I approach a driver who is following another car. When I get closer, that driver slows down and begins driving in the mirror, making sure to dive to the inside on braking while keeping an eye on me where to put their car in the way. Result, we both slow down. We're both losing time to the front and the car that driver was following and I'm not even making any moves yet. Then after a couple corners they don't pay attention to the road, too much looking in the mirror and they go off... Block till you drop. And when I come alongside for a pass, they'll do everything to gently push you off the road.
Not so yesterday! Sunday was great, mostly because most people knew each other and were on for many races. Leaving room, going side by side in places were you least expect it without trouble. Tactical moves on the straights, it was a joy. One of the best days of racing. Thanks all that came out to the track!
I had a goal in mind to reach 5,000 laps around the Nordschleife last week, accomplished
5,008 laps total completed, combined Nordschleife and N24 races.
I added the mini Nordschleife in there (Bathurst) as those three together make up 32% of my races in GT Sport and 56% of my victory total. Next see if I can beat those totals in GT7
The end? of my DR career in GT Sport
I'll probably do some BMB races this week. Draft bumping is going to wreck SR but that will just get me faster races haha.
A couple out takes from last week. First two cheeky moves in low SR, passing 3 cars in the Karoussel, gong from 16th to 10th between Flugplatz and Aremberg. Then SR.S, passing 3 cars at Ex-Muhle. Same fighting in SR.S as lower SR... And last, how to deal with a slow car when entering the straight. Do you pass early or slow down and wait. Since there was another car approaching I opted for passing early, getting passed by both, then passing them both again before the braking zone. Fun!
On to GT7!

Thank you. I didn't make the Jaegermeister livery though, @Stencedaddy did.
The other ones I made. Once I get on GT7 I'll remake them, if the port isn't as I like it.

Some awesome passes in there! The outside pass heading onto the long final straight, then using the slipstream to retake the spot and outbreak the Jag... some fine work there. Brass ones!
Was fun racing with you. Wish I could have done more. My only race on Sunday was a disaster, so I didn't chance another, but I guess I should have it the top split was mostly behaving the remainder of the night. I had too many examples of the issue you noted: a guy defends in his mirrors and blocks, or else a guy makes a mistake then blocks you as you are overtaking by 10 mph, ruining your race in the process. Was also punted off for no reason a time or two, which is infuriating. But there is still nothing more fun in the game than Gr3 at N24... the absolute high point of racing in GTS.

GTSport online is significantly better than GT7 online.
I thought Kaz said they were going to put everything from GTsport online into gt7?

They could have done absolutely nothing and it would have been fine, but they’ve actively put effort in to make it considerably worse. Not sure what their endgame is but multiplayer interest will fall of pretty quick if they persist not just with tuning, but tuning being dependant on single player grind.

Sorry don’t wanna nitpick, but the Red Bull Ring is more near the city of Graz than Salzburg, Graz is the Capitol of the Steyr
