I have no idea what I'm doing, I copied somebody else's but the default tune on the 911 is pretty good, Tidgney is about half a second quicker than me without tuning.Hey, silly boy
Do you know how to tune an MR GR.3 car for this week's B race?
I've been trying some laps in the NSX, and so far I'm 5 seconds behind the world #1, and ranked somewhere around 11,000.
I have no clue how to optimize the suspension.

I can't be of much help on the pit strategy as I haven't raced yet this week, but, pretty sure changing tires costs you around 4-5 secs. I know us controller types pay a significant wear tax so I typically switch 'em out. I'm a bit hammer-fisted, though, so do burn through tires at an accelerated rate. If I don't change the car is usually a drift missile for the last lap or two.
I've been in GT7 for a while now and went through almost the EXACT same thing you did. Love the physics but the weight is tough to navigate at first. At least, that was the biggest challenge for me. Switching back-n-forth between GTS and 7, the cars in GTS almost felt 'flat', for lack of a better term. Hope to see you on the tarmac no matter where we land!

Hey man, you're back!? Remember me from the GTS forums. I bought gt7 back in October 2022, I was waiting until PD fixed all the bugs and glitches before purchasing. GTS feels old now that gt7 took over with popularity.
@mellofello9 Oh, you're doing the C races? I think they may be too intense for me, idk.

So, I’ve spun also and I know why. When you are following a faster car, individual turns or sectors become faster.
I’ll be faster in and out of turn X which puts me faster into turn Y approach. I’m typically not ready for it and now I’m long on turn Y and late and long on the exit and trying to turn back to the correct line which puts me into oversteer in a very low gear, in the middle of the torque curve. This negates everything I earned on the previous turn and, if I’m being pressed, a guaranteed spin.
I love the amg but I just can't get it to work, I know the speed is in it but I am completely useless when it comes to setup 🙈I just tried switching up the settings, and it didn't help.
It turns out that I'm just not an M/R guy.
I switched to the AMG and passed about 8,000 people in the rankings.

Hey Chris, I knew you would be here.
I was in no hurry to buy GT7 since the only thing I like is race online. The GT7 Daily Race are copy/paste of GTS and not even Dynamic Weather in dailies (still cant wrap my head around that one). I have no interested in single player campaign where you chase the rabbit from the back since 1997. I kept playing GTS until I lost interest in racing with A+ to D in 1 room, the A+ being the dirtier (Hello LinsenF1)
But now that GT is back in my life, I stop playing my other games for the better or the worst.

Be a big NOPE on race C...hopping in a Gr.1 after a couple months off would be little more than an exercise in frustration. Probably be handing out a good bit of irritation, too.🤣
If I do anything it'll be Race B in the Porsche. I somehow trained my old brain to memorize settings for it and is my 'regular' Gr.3 anyway. If you're struggling to find a good 'mount' for the week, the 911 might be a good place to start. It understeers, but that can be controlled a lot more easily than snap oversteer, IMHO.👍

Good morning everyone, my goal is to get my DR up to a rank C by Sunday, but it is going to take a lot of work and practice, and of course commitment. I'll have to find a good tune for the A/B races. So what car do you think is well suitable for the NurbGP track?

I like the Gr 3. Ferrari, but I've only driven some quali laps and still have to experience it in a racing setting. Another good starting point would be the 911 with @newmedia_dev 's setup.

The AMG seems a solid choice for this "daily" B.
I took this setup from the great @TyrannoCyrusRex channel wich suited me very well.
By the way, I strongly recommend to follow his channel.
He is a class act, his videos are pretty clear and I think I have progressed a lot watching his lap guides.

If your trying to improve your DR, chose wisely what time of day you race. When a lobby is filled with B/C drivers and your QT drops below P8 your odds of improving your DR are reduced.
When the lobby is C/D mix and your QT gets you in P3 or better, I would enter race after race until your QT starts dropping back down the grid.
When you aren’t in actual races, spend time improving your QT. It’s amazing how fast your DR increases just getting podiums.
Any racing you do in the back of the grid subjects you to mayhem and your odds of improving DR go down drastically.
Short sprint races make it more difficult to recover from accidents and penalties.
Long races, like this weeks C race, allows you to recover from accidents etc. but there is also a lot of attrition, drivers getting penalized or wrecks and then just dropping out, which also improves your odds.

Something terrible and unexpected has happened - I've started to enjoy driving the NGP. The arena turns are still a bit hit-and-miss, stopping me from getting into the 56s, but the rest is actually quite good. Just TTing though, still don't dare go racing again and destroy what little SR I have left on the main account.
Hopefully next week has a decent track, I still need to some testing for my new main Gr3 ride. Narrowed it down so far to the AMG (2020), Lambo, Lexus or Porsche.

I actually quite like NGP although I think it's a better race with Gr4 rather than Gr3.
That said I think my racing there is done for me and will practice for Manu Cup on Sat and the Toyota Cup on Sunday now.

I had my best result of the week in Race C yesterday. Jump in 22.30 race and started P10. Stayed away from trouble for the first lap. By lap 5 I caught on P5 and 4 battling together, that's when I decided to pit early instead of fighting them. Steady laptime in the 1.21 and no fight got me a nice 2nd place finish.

What a difference a day makes.
At this time yesterday, I was ranked 11,105 at race B.
I was nearly certain that I wouldn't enter the race at all, because I was absolutely terrible at the NGP Gr.3 combo.
Currently I'm at 695.
Well, not only did I switch cars, but also realized that the tunes that aliens use for their cars, are not necessarily appropriate for me to use. My input methods couldn't be more different. I use a controller with A/T, TCS 3, CSA, and I push buttons for gas and brake.
I need the car to do some tings for me that the expert drivers don't need.
So I fiddled around, and found a good tune for me.
I guess if you're not good at a new combo, try some different things, before giving up on it.
Maybe it's not your abilities that are the problem.

Ooff. I don't have so much time to race as some on this forum do. Maybe 5 or 6 races in a week. 110 total up until now. Today I did my first race this week (NGP).
Started 9th, was 8th in lap 5 when I spun out. To top it off I also punted someone. I waited do him to pass me again and finished last. My SR went from full S to A...in one race wow. I'm now also 1 mediocre result away from being demoted to DR C. Alas.
In C lobbies I can win easily, but in B lobbies it's very hard from the back of the grid. But okay that's the same route everyone has to take of course.
