Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[NikNakTobasco]

Basic question, I'm using a wheel+pedals and I've been playing with ABS on weak. Should I be putting less pressure on the brake pedal when the ABS icon starts to go red?

ABS default is considered the quickest and don’t worry about it activating.

 

[Ferrari458Italia]

I'm a little bummed at PD not taking full advantage of the PS5's trophy tracker. I wish I could see how many more time trials & Sports races I needed to do to pop the trophy

 

[Draggon]

NOOB QUESTION.
I am constantly having problems with GT7 that I can't solve.
It is the sudden uncontrollable oversteer in RWD, as if the outward rear spring has abandoned its role.

Is this because the contraction side of the rear damper is too soft?
Or should I just set up the rear sway bar stiffer?

I know exactly what you mean, it has happened to me with several cars. I was able to tune it out. Sorry, I don't recall just what I did, but I'm pretty sure I started with the LSD set at 5-5-60 and anti-roll bars around 7-4 or even 10-1. The idea was to get the car to understeer and then make slow adjustments to where it felt balanced.

 

[Bosozoku]

ABS default is considered the quickest and don’t worry about it activating.

Was the default on strong?
I initially asked because when I had slammed on the brakes, what I can usually feel is what feels like understeer where I didn't expect it, but didn't seem to happen if I backed off the brakes a little. But I didn't really do any A-B comparisons so it may have been coincidence.

Will we ever see 20 cars in lobbies again? So depressing entering and seeing pathetic 15 or 16 if you're lucky.

 

[Artremis]

You know, bit of a hot take but after reinstalling Sport to play for a bit in VR I kinda prefer GT7's roulette system now. At the very least you get like 5k credits at worst instead of a cheap car you already owned and can't sell.

 

[SuperSportX]

Does anybody else collect multiple of the same racing cars to apply different liveries on them?

With regards to this, and before I save up too much, do we know what the garage car limit is?

Yes, this is how I do my multi class GT1/GT2 races.

You could sell your cars in in GTS though so I don’t really get your point?

And of course the roulette system wasn’t rigged against you like it is in 7.

Roulette system in 7 can get ****ed for all I care.

You can't sell gift cars in GTS. Or rather, you can, but you get no credits from them.

I’m currently really vibing with the GT500 machines. Big fan of Super GT here and mad respect to the livery creators here on GT7! It’s a shame there’s no Gr.2 events yet but thank the Lord for custom races!

He's referring to the fact you can't sell prize cars in GTS. In which, you really can't, the only cars you can sell for money are ones you bought yourself.

So given that 700PP roughly equates to Gr.4 cars, and 800PP roughly equates to Gr.3 cars, I had some ideas as to what PP limits could be good for Gr.2 and Gr.1. Respectively, I propose PP limits of 850 and 950, especially when you play with power limits and additional ballast. Any thoughts?

EDIT: This is accounting for putting the car on Racing Softs, as well as the installation of any turbos/superchargers - plus a full-customize racing transmission, which likely will increase the PP just a tiny bit. It's only after these parts are equipped that I'd recommend playing with the power/weight.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Alright, I got the D-Type now. I would say I completed my 50s race cars collection, but I missed the W194 300SL weeks ago. I'm going to have to wait another few weeks before getting that again.

It's nice being able to download my pictures from online, the only thing is that I wish there was just preset text for the description. Because typing stuff everytime I want to share a picture is tedious with a controller.

We'll probably get a World Sports Car 900 series.

Why mics should be in GT7 and beyond.

If Gr2 racing and Gr1 racing events become a thing which I hope they do I'd propose making the Gr 2 800 PP and Gr 1 900PP limit that way it is consistent with the other similar themed race series events we already have.

Yeah, but I think 850 and 950 would be better, since 800 is already for Gr.3 cars. Plus, I feel that limiting things to 800 and 900 PP would require much more notable power/weight limits on some cars in those groups.

Fair point, then you could make it those or equally make it up to 900PP and 1000PP points that way if there are any more Group 1/2 cars added with DLC that have higher PP they are still eligible.

I just hope they do add some Gr2/Gr1 racing overall, now that I have the cars I really want to race them against the AI rather than have to keep making my own custom races with the cars.

I wouldn’t make them that high. Even on Racing Softs and a medium-RPM turbo installed, the Audi R18 ‘11 “only” reaches a bit above 980 PP. (Whereas without the turbo, it doesn’t even hit 950 PP.) I’d much prefer a car overshoot a PP limit, and then use power restrictors and ballast to bring it down to 950 PP.

And that’s before we discuss other Gr.1 cars that might not be above 900 PP as-stock, and would require a turbo/supercharger to get to 950, in addition to the Racing Softs.

Generally, I’d have a PP limit insofar that with the right tuning and settings, every car within Gr.2 and Gr.1 could be used with those respective PP limits of 850 and 950.

I just hope they do add some Gr2/Gr1 racing overall, now that I have the cars I really want to race them against the AI rather than have to keep making my own custom races with the cars.

We know that a Gr.1 event is coming, at least judging from the Jimmy Fallon build. I’m hoping for that event, there’s either a PP limit of 950, or BoP is enabled.

Fair enough, I will look forward to that event when it happens!

Wish Polyphony would include these as variations to these cars (much like what they did with the Gr. 3 cars with alternate liveries).

Better still remove the PP Restrictions in the Single player portion of GT7

 

[Silver_Wolf]

I would not necessarily agree there about removing the PP restrction completely, I kind of like that aspect of the game but perhaps we could have a comprimise in being able to setup the single player race ourselves than a pre-set rules from PD themselves esp when it comes to penalties in the higher PP races.

I didn't say remove it completely. Just from the single player parts. It was more fun the way GT was before the PP thing was introduced

 

[Samus]

I'm still of the opinion PP simply doesn't work when you have such a wide variety of car types, especially those VGTs.

Imagine if PP was calculated in real life, and was used to determine entry into GT500 races. If you make that the only restriction then you'd get all manner of differently shaped cars, different powertrains, anything.

It doesn't work. Restrictions have to be FAR tighter if you want any hope of fair and competitive races. You can't set up an 850PP race and just let anything that makes that limit enter the race, you end up with modern LMPs, old Sports Cars, GT500, random ass VGTs with made up performance figures, it's a mess that BoP could never solve.

No, just stick to restrictions as used in real life.

Width
Length
Weight
height
Max engine displacement
Allowed engine configs
Driven wheels
Turbo allowed or not
Fixed Aero / Active Aero / No Extra Aero

etc etc

That will create far better races than PP free for alls. The single player events so far as so unimaginative and open in restrictions right now. The "WTC [PP]" races are the worst offenders. It shouldn't matter what PP exploits you find, something that looks like this:

Should not be in a "World Touring Car" event. It's silly.

Agreed, PP should be treated as just a single stat, once you start mixing and matching different restrictions you can get really creative with what races you can create instead of just having the same 3 or 4 cars being best suited for 70% of the game.

Using all of the stats including coutry of origin and year of manufacture you can create some really good variety where more cars become useful.

There's no reason to not include more single make or Impreza v Evolution events too. It's just lazy that the events we got are so few, and the ones we have got have such little thought put into them.

You might as well add number of doors and car body shape (sedan/hatchback/wagon/coupe) to that list.

Well yes, hence "etc etc". There are a huge amount of car specifications they can use as restrictions. It's a shame they choose not to.

 

[GTboyz]

Been doing GT86/BRZ comparison at Tsukuba and it seems like the Toyota is a little bit faster than the Subaru but the Toyota felt wilder. I'm using pad with average skill though so maybe my results aren't as accurate as the pro wheel users here. It's just something interesting to do.

Also anyone knows why the 86 GT Limited '18 uses Comfort Soft while the 2018 BRZ uses Sports Hard?
