GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[newmedia_dev]

I've definitely improved with the G70 (after tips you posted previously). I think there's a 1:29.0 doable, so may try again later..
All the Brands races I've tried have had some kind of drama unfortunately - either self inflicted after a trip though the gravel and the resulting 5 cars flying past, or getting caught up in some kind of grudge match

As you know and most of forum know the race suicide is my thing 🤣

Same for me regarding the grudge matches there seems to be something in the water. 3 races this week I've been handed 2nd and 2 I've been included in a party I'd not RSVPd to....the rest is just me being slower in race conditions.

All three of my accounts are now A, first world problem is I'm not fast enough for A. This is a problem.

Edit: grammar

They were ones that @PirovacBoy posted originally 👍
They work great - can feel what's happening and react much quicker than I could previously. I keep the in-game FFB at 8-10 depending on car.

I'm struggling a bit at Brands this week. As much as I dislike tuning, it made the G70 feel 'great?' (well, less horrible perhaps) and last week I was on pole for many races - whereas this week I'm starting mid-field and not gaining any ground.

I've avoided B this week, but have had great success and good racing on A - hardly seeing any familar names though as most people must dislike it.

I did wonder however about the fact that you did yours on a 8nm and I have a 5nm, they are good settings in any case but I wonder if I miss some ‘strength in the wheel.

Yeah its been a lean week 😏

I managed a couple of wins today but it’s been a little rough in the races I have to say

5nm is more than fine.

The amount of force isn't the thing it's the weight and personal preference that is the key.

I change my wheel force dependent on car category but rarely if ever go full on 8NM.

That's not what you need although that stupid RA Honda race is have died to have a 50nm wheel!

I finished 12 races at Bathurst and did 2 at Autopolis, the Group 2 event is way more fun and enjoyable than the Bathurst one. I haven't been in the racing mood this weekend. I found out my mother has Stage 4 Cancer Friday afternoon. What an unpleasant surprise to my birthday weekend.

Well I can hardly blame you for not feeling it. I'm really sorry to hear that mate.

Tried out the Beetle for the first time. Fair play not a bad wagon, it's first race was eventful and rather bashy.

I'd forgot it even existed 😮 Used to be the hooligans' preferred car in GT Sport

How did my online racing go this week?

I only tried a handful of races at Autopolis, maybe three, but here are my bragging rights after running without a quali time...

This post was inspired (and reminded me) by @MUC76

"Consistent lapping is the key of being fast" .

 

[LumpiestFish]

The Daytona Oval races they've had with Gr3 Corvettes, Ford GTs and Vipers was heaps of fun. Slip streaming super speedway races are heaps of tactical fun, and i find the racing better than the Special Route X, which is spoiled by the nitrous.

Has there ever been a Northern Isle daily? a low PP race there would be great.

Although you do seem to see them a lot less, it does still attract the same type of driver in my experience.....

 

[Gurzu]

I've shared a replay of a "bonus clean race" at Bathurst, starting from 6 (DR C DS S). Surprisingly, even without winning, it was the best clean and fun fight I had so far. Once in a while you'll find the outlier that makes your day, among the multitude of disappointing wrecking races you had.

 

[Stephan]

Sadly the loaner cars aren't the same from the event.

I knew there was a reason I liked it.

 

[Nakano219]

Other than the circuit experience, I don't think I've driven this Tokyo layout in this game once.

This is probably for the best - the GTWS cars were Route X race level of tuned, I'm not sure that would have gone well for us mortals.

 

[Rossell2]

I'd love car rental races like A, one day to allow racing mediums or softs on the road cars so we have proper grippy grip grip.

 

[Barney Da Dog]

I don't think I've driven Daytona since the update - I like the course but have never been that quick there, so will need to improve myself there.
I've had a ridiculously good run of wins the last couple of weeks at Brands Indy and then Autopolis. 53 poles and 42 wins - a feat I will probably never repeat, but it's been good while it lasted.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

I think Tokyo is going to be my permanent residence for this weeks daily races, if you get the right people in a lobby this has the potential to be one of those ridiculously fun combos.

This one was earlier today, 5 places gained in the first corner 😅

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: Tokyo Swift​

A new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races is now available for the next week, with players able to race in the usual pair of multiplayer events as well as one which is loosely related to last weekend’s Gran Turismo World Series event in Tokyo...

 

[Talon16]

Looks like Supra is back to being the META at Daytona. Not surprised because PD. I really liked it when it was the GT LM II but since this combo showed up last time the Ford top end was Nerf'ed and the Supra top end was buffed.

Other than Nord, Gr3 at Daytona is my favorite combo so hoping to do some this week.

 

[GrumpyOldMan]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this or not, but not only haven't we ever raced "Tokyo Express East Counterclockwise" before in daily races, but AFAIK we also haven't raced "Catalunya National" either. Admittedly it's just a truncated version "Catalunya GP", but still, it's new-ish.

What is PD thinking? Are they suddenly realizing there's other tracks out there that could be used for daily races? Did they wake up one day and say "Hey! Why don't we make more use the other tracks? I wonder why nobody ever thought of this before?"

All kidding aside, thanks PD for something different. (Not that they'd ever read this, but I'll throw it out into the universe anyway.)

I was doing lobby races last night and the GT LM has gone to ****. Bounces all over the place and is horrible to drive now. Couldn't get below 1:46.2 . Tried a few other cars but the Supra just breezed past me every time we got to the banking

 

[GrumpyOldMan]

Boy was I wrong. The changes at the end of the track make it a much different animal. Or else I've just been away too long.

 

[Voodoovaj]

I know that SOME people don't like fuel saving races, because it required patience and setting a deliberate pace. But, the reaction by PD to NEVER EVER EVER have these races again is a bit extreme.

Why not just dump the pit stops altogether? A required stop and required change throws pit strategy out the window, so why not just abandon it altogether? I get that it's a slight variable, but I'd rather just race than be forced into the same strategy as everyone else.

Daytona chikane: pLS hALp!

I have done perhaps an hour of QT (following a fast ghost) and three races. I still have absolutely no idea how to take the chikane without either driving like a grandma or making it nice, clean and fast, but of course getting the 0.5sec penalty.
Could somebody perhaps put some words to this or maybe even do a simple and clear drawing? 🙏🏼
Clearly there is something I don´t get.
Thanks!

 

[Stephan]

I must admit that I underestimated the amount of fun I can get from Daily Race A because in the four sessions I did for Race A, they were all fun. Combine that with it being a no DR gain race, it allowed me to try out the other loaner cars.

First session - Clocked in a time of 2:09.4 which allowed me to be on pole for the first race. I chose the Lexus LFA and man in my first outing it was a close finish at the end.

Second session - Didn't improve my time but I was still on pole position for the second session. I chose the XJ220 next and at first it was a 90s supercar duel between me and the Aussie F40 driver.



But after he served that 2 sec penalty, it was over but still I'll gladly take the win with the XJ220.

Third session - Chose the 997 GT3 next for this race. Got a good start and I noticed how nice the car handles on those corners but it requires less braking to make it work. Other than that its a nice counter to the F40 meta.

Last session - Went with the SLR McLaren and this was the hard difficulty car of the set but its still possible to win races with it and it handles the technical parts of Tokyo well.

Overall a fun Daily Race for the week. Also same with what @GOTMAXPOWER said I might also stick around on this particular Daily until the end of the week.

 

[benjoi84]

Race from the back at Tokyo and hardcore qualifying for Daytona until I'm well and truly ready is the recipe for this week, I think.

Weirdly, the Daily Races are syncing up with my replay viewing habits. Last week I was watching myself racing the R34 around Watkins Glen from months ago, and now there's Daytona Road Course event whilst I'm busy rewatching the races in which i participated there using the Mazda MX-5 Touring Car, which was FUN!

Last time Daytona RC was on the docket, PD had it perfect IMO. The Peugeot VGT and Ford GT LM II were the METAs. One stop was required. The cool part is, both the META cars are (were anyway) bad on gas. The VGT needed to re-fuel for sure; the Ford would only need to if you were driving flat out.

It was one of those races you almost want to be in P2 because it you play it smart, you can do the mandatory stop and not require fuel (in the Ford anyway). I had a couple races where I just tucked my car in P2 and stayed there, short-shifting while using the drat, bump drafting, not attacking, ect. so I could save fuel. It all came to fruition when we pit and the leader needed to splash-and-dash and I was able to just do the stop-and-go. Made the "pass" for P1 in the pits and brought it home from there. It was super exciting.

While I admit I am not a fan of the more extreme fuel saving races, if done properly they can be pretty good.

Ok, I realised that I could just use the curcuit experience sector 3. Now it does not seem so mysterious anymore.

 

[Charmantha]

Yeah, the Oval is boring, the Road Course has a lot more turns and variety. It least it gives people fun and enjoyment while driving on the track. I'm focusing on Race B this week because of the 600% money increase. That will help a lot of people.

I read quite frequently about credit issues in gt. Is there a place where one can buy drugs and stuff or smthg. I have 18million and I already have 4 Genesis g70's. Sure I could buy classic ferraris I will never use, but what for?

Where I'm at it. Do they think it's funny to reward us nearly always with the worst that is on display? I'm talking about this cards you receive for finishing your daily training. I mostly collect till I have 20 and get them all at once. It always was around 16 of 20 rounds, I get the worst or 2nd worst on display.(Worst for me is those car parts - n exhaust for a car I don't even own). And when I have a 6star ticket and "win" an invitation to buy a Porsche carrera gt for 1million? Does it make anyone happy? I feel like they are spitting in my face there. 🤐

What a weird post.

Such an odd thing to say.

I have 18million and I already have 4 Genesis g70's. Sure I could buy classic ferraris I will never use, but what for?

Try using them? Drive them, tune them, make liveries for them, take photos of them...

"Worst" is subjective, but the ticket outcomes are known. Credit rewards are by far the most common, and the most common rewards are the lower credit values:

1 Star - 2,000cr (40%), 5,000cr (27%)
2 Star - 5,000cr (40%), 10,000cr (35%)
3 Star - 5,000cr (40%), 10,000cr (35%)
4 Star - 10,000cr (28%), 30,000cr (20%)
5 Star - 100,000cr (36%), 500,000cr (13%)
6 Star - 500,000cr (40%), 1,000,000cr (20%)

And when I have a 6star ticket and "win" an invitation to buy a Porsche carrera gt for 1million?

This cannot happen as you cannot get a Brand Invitation from a six-star ticket.

And no part of this has anything to do with the Daily Races.
