GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[Wombat54]

Alright.. in about 10 minutes it's this combo apparantly:

A: Tokyo expressway - central clockwise
B: High Speed ring
C: Deep Forest raceway

Thoughts anyone? In my (short) GT7 experience I never saw High speed ring as a daily, so I might try that one. Deep Forest is also a favorite.

Spoilsport!!!

Spoilsport!!!

Don't go to fora or other news websites if you don't want any information. Good luck with racing!

 

[Hasnain282]

Deep Forest seems to be the only repeat there, but it was a cracking race last time we had those settings (multiple cars and strategies available if I remember correctly)

 

[rAtey]

I wonder how long it will take me to get out of the D-rank at the rate I'm going. I commend to all the A/B drivers for having the guts and patience to do over 50-60 races a day. It's frustrating for me because I'll get my SR up 100% and then after 3-4 races it will go back down about halfway. I wish I could have a perfect race.

I don’t get your rush. Just play and you’ll advance naturally. Who is playing 60 races a day anyway? Just enjoy the driving and stop watching your SR/DR for a while. The numbers say nothing.

Well after a long uphill battle, my main account is finally rank B.




And now it's time to get my second account from C to B.

 

[Nakano219]

High Speed Ring and a Tokyo variant as dailies in the same week, that's certainly different.

Is the reason they were uploaded late because all of PD were on a weekend retreat learning how to conquer a fear of walls?

 

[newmedia_dev]

I've never had this before and yes I do appreciate it's the first 20 mins of the race flipping over.

Top 10 at the high speed ring and my first ever QT replay 😲

Deep Forest (in the correct direction) is always good fun, especially as a race C. I’ll be there this week. High Speed sprint not really my thing.

 

[brockie]

High speed ring, gr4? Certainly unusual and a lot like an oval in some ways, that’s a new one for sure, I was only playing Lobbies of deep forest reverse at the weekend, that’s better than the right way around 😉

Best comment. 👏

 

[DK]

HSR is definitely one for parking the wheel.

 

[Jflijohn]

I started the week in B and ended the week in B, somewhere in the middle though was a lot of C. I’m pretty happy with a 4th in an A/B lobby. The best part was that quite a few racing passes were made by the mid-pack drivers in the last 3 laps with absolutely no contact by anyone.

This is a very good reminder for me also. I should just enjoy racing and not worry about my DR taking hits after bad results.

 

[Vule]

This week finally seems nice. HSR with Gr4 looks like fun, quick sprint with full throttle most of the way, and race C also looks great, I absolutely love Deep Forrest in normal layout, so I must try both to see

Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: Civic Unrest​

A brand-new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races is available from today, with some rarely seen circuits popping up for your ranked multiplayer enjoyment...

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

Here's my final best lap for the previous Race A where I finished sixth in the world.

I've done over 2,000 miles with this event and tried countless different combinations of settings, at least 10 of them I'm less than 2 tenths off my fastest lap so while the tune that just barely worked best for me is in the video I'm pretty sure it ended up being less about tuning and more about driving style which I still don't really feel used to.

Luckily the new Race A is a track I'm used to, I wouldn't be surprised if I do over 3,000 miles this week.

Not that this will likely happen to me again, but... I had this once, being in the top 10 for a short time, but my replay wasn't shown. Any ideas what was wrong (or what I DID wrong)?

 

[benjoi84]

Regarding the DR-chase/fear of losing DR conversation, I have to say the system does a pretty good job of matchmaking once you get where you're "meant" to be.

For example, I think that I firmly belong in SR S (usually a few pips less than full, I am partial to a few delicate nudges here and there and I don't always do a good job of reacting quickly enough to incidents or staying on the track). I also think I'm an absolut mid-DR A. The thing about Driver Rating is that it's a totally fluid state and between races, sometimes you'll be paired with players who are slightly better than you and some when they are slightly worse.

There's not much point worrying too much about it, of you're spending less time practicing or playing other games you might have a temporary slip, or conversely, if you have favourable combos (or you just get yourself really dialled-in for a week or so) you'll see a spike on DR points.

The trick, in the end is to find that sweet spot where races are hard enough so that you are not able to cake-walk the opposition, but rewarding enough to make you feel like your time and effort is worth it. It'll always be a seesaw experience, unless you are particularly determined to refine your technique and philosophy.

As long as you play the game a reasonable amount each week, your DR & SR should reflect ON AVERAGE where you actually belong on the spectrum, and we all have an ability ceiling.

Same here, completely. I usually land in good races in low-to-mid-A lobbies, where I sometimes bottle it, but often finish somewhere in the middle or a bit above, sometimes (rarely) even on podium. But if the latter happens more than once, next race I find myself in a higher lobby with fast A drivers and even A+ drivers, where I'm not competitive at all, lose DR, and the cycle starts again. So, yeah, the matchmaking seems quite accurate.


BTW nice variety in the daily races this week. Which was to be expected, because I'm on holidays and can't race.🤪

 

[Tidgney]

The Weekly race guide is here for those that enjoy the entertainment / want strategy / want a lap guide. Race A the cars are to understeery and quick for that circuit in my opinion! Nice to see High Speed Ring return though! Daily Race C I suffer a brutal penalty to 😭

[Chris30]

Hey, I just woke up an hour ago. I'm excited about racing at Tokyo and HSR. I may try my hand at Deep Forest just because I haven't done any dailies there for a while.

@Vule Yeah, I think this week will be much better as opposed to last week.

 

[Charmantha]

HSR is definitely one for parking the wheel.

not at all, as I remember. because you can take a very fast outside line on the bridge, and the corner before the tunnel can ruin your whole race

 

[sturk0167]

The top qualifiers at race B are wall-riding at turn 2.
The race details say that wall collision penalty is set to "Weak".
They need to change it to "Strong", and reset the times, asap!

 

[newmedia_dev]

I just noticed that when I saw how much the time has dropped from my 1:14.2 and it's now mid 1:13s!


You don't even have to brake until you are way passed the 50m board! 😔

 

[Rossell2]

I knew there'd be a reason why the times were so quick. I can barely manage a 1:15.2 at the moment so will try that out see what happens. Wall riding the final corner is a straight no though.

It's a good circuit for Sr and clean races though unless you get some idiots.

 

[Vule]

Not too bad!

Yes, a little bit of wall riding in turn 2, but you need to be very precise even with that, one step too far and you get a 3 sec penalty. I don't know how people race, with or without it, I must try tonight when I put the kids to bed.

 

[ElectricNaz]

I actually love this HSR race.

Qualy time for me is a 1.14.2. Had a close race earlier, started 11th,finished 5th, great driving by all. Top 6 by 2.2s at the end!

At the chequered flag... Top 3 split by a hair (you can barely see the 3rd placed guy tucked into the slipstream), then a small gap to 4th-6th. Wonderful stuff!

 

[newmedia_dev]

but you need to be very precise even with that, one step too far and you get a 3 sec penalty.

I just did 8 laps and only one of them was penalty free, you definitely need to hit the small gap in the collision box perfectly or the exit rear quarter tap triggers the pen.

I'm not sure it would be viable in the race as the min penalty is 1.5s and the max is 3s but I'm not sure how it decides between them.

 

[Vule]

Yeah, any type of penalty on this track absolutely kills the race, because you don't lose 3 seconds, you lose at least 5 or 6 by the end of the humongous straight. I will fire up the second account and try from the back, just to see how it goes in the race itself with the collision limits etc.
