You don't need Counter Steer on for 4wd Gr4 cars and you won't need Traction Control either

I actually disagree with everything @newmedia_dev said.Well I guess I'll give the Veyron a few tries since it is the meta car. Now I am only having my TCS at 0-1 at all times. Idk about the brake balance and the other settings. What about the CSA, is it better to have it on weak or strong?
No offense intended. I actually wrote my reply before I saw what you wrote.Brake balance +5 (rear)

Was all good mate, you know racing with a controller way way way better than me.No offense intended. I actually wrote my reply before I saw what you wrote.![]()
I did turn and look in one car and gave them a dirty look as they passed me.Still wish the game showed you looking..and hand signals.
This might be my favorite quote in GTP history.Hey, I recognize that guy, he's Deadpool!
Back on topic with the daily racing though. I remember watching that movie.
Pure V.R. in GT7 Driver here.I've only been using VR since this year and it's incredibly realistic. It's a bit difficult in the races, you don't see the other vehicles properly or you see them too late. It also depends on which car you're using.
zero lies detected. I do wish there was an option to have track position as one of the options (radar, brake balance, etc.) in the MFD menu.In the Veyron the view to the rear is still good, but in other cars it's not possible at all. Another problem in races is that you can't see where your opponents are and who is/was in the pits.
I don't want to drive anything else, even if I can never move up. For me the feeling of driving a real racing car is great (and I know what it feels like in real life). Have fun with VR2.
I suspect individuals in the lower levels may have a great qualifying lap but lack consistency. Perhaps they run off track (or into other cars) and have that one "golden lap" which puts them on the pole position.Has anybody else noticed that you sometimes get more drivers with faster QTs when you drop down the rankings? - seems couterintuitive to me....
Grew up driving around our nation's capitol and I can confirm. Actually, it's worse around here than most places for specific reasons:On the east coast we drive like flaming arsehats, and i used to have a bunch of trucks without rearviews, so while this was natural for me to adapt too it may be hard for people who didn’t grow up driving the jersey turnpike etc
Not a controller user but when I was, the thing I remember is using the stick to poke the car in to a corner and then wind off as I accelerated. Just hitting the stop isn't a stick thing it's a speed thing.A quick question for controller users, which is kinda off topic for the thread but I trust everyone here to give me good feedback...
Is it generally regarded that pushing the analogue stick 'all the way' is not the fastest way to drive? What I mean is, are there people out there who are achieving optimal steering angle without the support of the plastic rim?
Is the technique that nuanced or am I making things up in my head?
Why is it that csa on strong doesn't slow a controller user down?I actually disagree with everything @newmedia_dev said.
If you're using controller, always go with CSA Strong in every car, all the time. It will only help you with control. It will not slow you down at all.
It's the same with TCS1.
The brake bias isn't important.
*Edit: With the Veyron, TCS0 is fine. It's not likely to spin the tires.

All of the assists slow you down on certain combos, but they can make you faster and more stable.Why is it that csa on strong doesn't slow a controller user down?
I find this interesting. I always try to use as few assists as possible (apart from. TCS on 1 or 2 in many cases). But if csa on strong can make my car more stable without losing speed, that sounds like I can gain some lap time or at least have a lesser chance of spinning out.
Honestly my use of the analogue stick is not very, let's say, nuanced. I usually push it very hard and to the rim to get the tighter corners, because I can't do it any better. As far as I know, at least the tyre wear could be influenced positively by better and more sensitive steering modulation, so it maybe should be having an influence on how the car behaves. I just can't do it. My thumb sensitivity is more like, erm...:A quick question for controller users, which is kinda off topic for the thread but I trust everyone here to give me good feedback...

My CRB is atrocious but it's not from being dirty, I'm just prone to track limits 🙈After 7 races (3 wins, 6 podiums - and one bit of stupidity when I put the fuel mix to 5 instead of the brake balance, took me 4 laps to notice) I’m back up to DR C with the AMG.
View attachment 1372975
Only one CRB though, which is poor. Not contact (only 1 penalty in those 7 races when someone moved under braking into turn 1), just track limits and wall-brushing.
You don't really need TCS on hsr Chris.. I'm writing this quite a long time after you posted it but anyway, no TCS and bb at +5 although I did set the veyron at +4 but I have no idea what I'm doing anyway 😅😅Well I guess I'll give the Veyron a few tries since it is the meta car. Now I am only having my TCS at 0-1 at all times. Idk about the brake balance and the other settings. What about the CSA, is it better to have it on weak or strong?
I used TCS on 1 for all my races last week at the nur b, purely as a safety net as the races were so close. I didn't use it at all for the Glen. I'm having a couple of pints tonight (benefits of having a bar in the family) but I aim tomorrow to do race C with the Ford with no assists, it's a good stable car to not have to use them 👍 Edit: Baby on way means I have to make the most of these 😅All of the assists slow you down on certain combos, but they can make you faster and more stable.
You have to remember the assists are the car doing things for you that you aren't/can't the top people don't use any.
They help you to learn or compete but will always be the limiting factor at the sharp end of things.
At our levels use whatever makes you a safer, more consistent racer. There are no prizes for first or last nor for being the better or worse racer.
But there is alway kudos for finishing a tough race, being the one that gives the room and just being a sensible human.
Analog stick user since GT hit the market. That said, I won't be ranked DR S EVER, so take it for what it's worth.😁A quick question for controller users, which is kinda off topic for the thread but I trust everyone here to give me good feedback...

Hello, I'm Chris, I don't know if we've met before, but I have been playing gt7 for a year and a half, 19.5 months to be exact. I'm gonna add you on my friends list later on tonight or tomorrow. I think I'm a second and a half behind you in the QT standings. So, I need to polish up my skills at HSR. Are you good at using the Veyron, it is specified as the meta car for this course.I got my qualifying time down to a 1:14.5XX and that was a nice way to start my night. I have another tenth of a second somewhere but I'll worry about that tomorrow.
Race 1 has me in P5 and not much happens. I was defending P3 against a Huracan and they could not get past me. They looked like they were going to stick a nose in and shove me aside after the wall turn, but they backed out. P2 had a penalty on the last lap and I snag that and that was cool and get a clean race bonus.
My second race has me in P4 to start and on the opening lap I over rev the engine and lose speed. I also get "stuck" on the outside wall in the final corner. I fall to P8 but I put my head down and get back into P4. On the last lap, P5 doesn't compensate for the slipstream and sends me into the wall. Annoying, but I've done that too. The lead was big enough that I didn't lose P4. The car that hit me had a 1.5 second penalty so I still would have been P4. I also got the clean race bonus which was unexpected.
My final race had me in a Big Boy lobby full of mainly A rank drivers. I had one of my best races in GT7 as I held my own in the lobby. My only mistake is coming down on another driver as I was taking my normal line in turn 1. I left the door open and they went for it probably thinking I would see them. Fortunately, I only got a little sideways and they got away just fine so no real harm. I finish P7 with a 3rd clean race bonus and call it a night.

Hi, I don't believe I've seen you around before I dipped out of GT7 around January of this year. I'd say I'm decent in the Veyron, but I'm still half a second behind some others on my friend list. Those are some of the top people (in my opinion) on this thread so as long as I'm close I know my race pace will be fine. My advice would be to just practice, practice, practice in the time trial to get your time down. I'm sure others have told you this as well.Hello, I'm Chris, I don't know if we've met before, but I have been playing gt7 for a year and a half, 19.5 months to be exact.

Controller user here as well. I drive with the sensitivity as high as it can go, ABS on weak. I play with the TCS depending on the corner. I haven't had any luck turning any of the other aids on. I'm almost always on Brake Balance at +5 with a few exceptions.
I'm having a blast at deep forest this week. Something about this track with GR3 cars makes it so much fun. I've seen plenty of Fords but my I set my Q time at a 1:25.5 in the 4C. But, the McLaren is by far my best car here in the race.
Had a super fun ending last night where the top 5 were all on a no-tire strategy, which I cant stand. Thought I was running for 2nd on the last lap but the leader ended up getting a significant penalty that they had to serve on the last lap, which made the final corner super interesting. Between the Suzuki and the draft I figured I had it won but came up .020 short. Here's the clip
I used the nsx, I drove around 1.17. Than I tried TCS on 2 and 3. 1.15 and really fun to drive.. Just tip on the breaks shortly, in the wall rider curve and overtake the bugs insideI guess the Veyron is the meta car for HSR, see I'm using the Scirocco car. It handles the turns and corners okay but it's still not giving me enough speed for the lap. I could try the 650S, but I don't think that's the right option either. I have to choose my car's wisely as my time is limited this week. I still have ABS set at weak and the TCS set at 1. So that should be helping me get ome grip and control on my lap.
That's me mate - started pole in DF in a very low A lobby, ended 12'th. However not because I run into any cars or go offtrack, more others punt me around. My 911 get's eaten by the Fords twice per lap on the straights, and when I outbrake them they shoot me.I suspect individuals in the lower levels may have a great qualifying lap but lack consistency. Perhaps they run off track (or into other cars) and have that one "golden lap" which puts them on the pole position.
Completely agree. For me, high B low A is where I belong. Maximum pleasure, win sometimes, get last sometimes, all with very little QT grinding.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.
I wonder if this is some sort of experiment.
Take the blue pill!Sounds like my life!
