Can you share it, I would like to testIt really is a strong car here, esp with a tune.

*Gets in a lobby with Einhorn.Yeah, Ray Finkle.
This is the way.Listen up, I've cracked the secret of dealing with lobbies full of low Sport rankers.
Last night I was working on getting my DR back to A, I had to go through a lobby of death with these low rankers. My name might give a clue to another interest other than Metal, Apes! Personal favourites are Orangutans, magnificient noble creatures.
Orangutans aren't what we're talking about here, this is time for Chimpanzees. Anyone who watches nature documentaries will know about rankings within troops of some Apes and Monkeys. So when I hear the term low rankers I automatically think of Chimpanzees.
Then it clicked, a Eureka moment, these Low Rankers are actually real Chimpanzees driving the cars, that's why they drive the way they do! Once you understand this then racing against them becomes much more effective.

So I found myself in a race against these Chimps at Spa, I'd qualified 11th, the grid was mainly A/[ABC]'s. So lots of juicy DR gain to be had with a half decent finish. Exiting Radillion there was already one spinner, so straight up to 10th, as the race went one by one off they went until the final lap I was in 6th heading upto the bus stop.
I was far enough ahead of 7th to pretty much have a decent finish in the bag, when I stared closely in the mirror. There driving the following car was a screaming Chimpanzee, and he had his eyes on me. Well I've also got my eyes on you Chimp!
Here he comes, braking so late he just shoots straight down the inside before I even reach the turn in point, straight into the run off he goes. Even better, as he tried to rejoin the track the Chimp entered the wormhole and was teleported back to the start of the Bus stop. Six places lost!
So just remember, treat them all as Screaming Chimps, give them space, don't provoke them, just let them take each out and you can pick up the pieces and get a decent finish.
I wasn't following my ghost - most of the time it's hidden. I only "unhide" it when I want to check my current progress, then I hide it again. That way I know if I've gotten a good exit on turns, etc.Don't use a ghost you can catch, just one you can keep in sight.
I take some offense to being considered a chimpanzee.... I maybe a low ranker at the time, not good enough to hold a B rating but I AM CLEAN in my driving etiquette.Then it clicked, a Eureka moment, these Low Rankers are actually real Chimpanzees driving the cars
Chimps only applies to Low Sport Rankers, not low DRI take some offense to being considered a chimpanzee.... I maybe a low ranker at the time, not good enough to hold a B rating but I AM CLEAN in my driving etiquette.
Please explain difference.Chimps only applies to Low Sport Rankers, not low DR
OhhhhhhhLow Safety Rating not low Driver Rating is what he means
"I just need a clean parameter bonus"The highlight of my day is coming home/finishing for the day
And putting on the real parameter slider simulation.
I love nothing more than putting a decent QT time in and then constantly every 15 mins or so enter the same values I did 5 days ago, and the last 6 times today.
I just need a clean parameter bonus....fastest parameter changing bonus and being first parameter changing bonus.
This is pretty poor UX which ever way you look at it.
It's high effort vs low convenience for sport users.
The thing that makes me annoyed is they introduced it. BoP the cars or don't we will pick our cars. Introduce this half baked and half ass chassis tuning - put more than 2 seconds thought in to it for five minutes!!!
Every race with tuning you have to move the sliders to the same place you moved them the race before and the race before that."I just need a clean parameter bonus"
What the heck is that?!
Ah ok, so essentially "Save favourite configuration" 😲Every race with tuning you have to move the sliders to the same place you moved them the race before and the race before that.
Say I slide the slider thing and land perfectly on the value I've input 50 times previously I should get a bonus for that surely??
If I can do my settings faster than someone else that deserves a bonus???
And if I'm first doing the same settings for the 100th time I get the slider expert bonus?
🤣
All jokes aside it starts to really grate how poor the implementation is or how little effort they put in to quality of life stuff for sport mode players.
I get cars and tracks have commercial impacts but better UI and systems is well within their remit to improve and make class leading.
Especially when people figure a setup out on Monday that works for them and the have to rinse and repeat applying constantly..
Unless my Maltese is broken I thought that was what I was saying...Ah ok, so essentially "Save favourite configuration" 😲![]()
BTW, 100,000,000% agree with you, so annoying! Even having to manually change compound if car happens to be on wrong tires. I mean, there is BOP which auto-adjusts car settings, why not tires as well?

Real life commitments got in the way and last mnight was the first time back in the Daily Race @ Spa since Monday with the aim of bumping my DR up before the GTWS race today. Of course that did not happen.
Had easily the worst steak of races in 2024 - only 3 incident-free races out of a total of 9 I did last night. The first 3 races races I ended up P12-15 from Q5-7due to being (unintentionally) pushed onto the slippery green bits and/or collected by a spinning car. @Barney Da Dog once again you had the front row seat of my absolutely horrific race but at least we got away from that GTR at the end. Nice JP Motorsport livery btw!

Clearly raged, decided to do some lobby racing with friends instead. Came back to Spa 2 hours later then this happened.
I got my QT down to 2:16.3. That was more than 3/10th faster than my previous QT lap. Came out of no where. I think the only difference compare to my last QT was that I managed to miss all bollards at the apex!

Will try more Race B today and see if my fortunate improves with the improved grid position.
Yes, they do. Curious to when you were expecting them to count? Given the question...Question: Do pole positions in Daily Races get counted in our GT7 profile stats 'Pole Positions'?
(I googled and searched in this forum but I found nothing. But this question is also hard to google. Have not been on pole in forever so cannot check myself either.)
Good to know. I had thought maybe they only count during GWTS because that is when poles are visibly earned.Yes, they do. Curious to when you were expecting them to count? Given the question...
they even count in daily race A - which is just about the only place mine show up! (wins too)Good to know. I had thought maybe they only count during GWTS because that is when poles are visibly earned.
Great tune Mr P - shaved a good amount off my QT using this, and it works well in the race too! Couldn't get the G70 to work for me at all with the standard tune.Race C for the Genesis G70 GR4 , Extremes mini maxi settings are working very well for me , shaving 0.700 from the stock suspension & LSD. With a 1:37.159 and my very low A+ skills.
