Did he have to move off of his intended line to avoid hitting you? If so, it may not have been the best move. Diving in like that is a good way to have someone turn in on you, and isn’t really considered a “safe” pass most of the time.
Assuming the race starts with a full grid (not always guaranteed) finishing 7th will only gain you 1 persons worth of DR points in race B so it's going to be quite a slow grind & it depends on how far back you're having to come from (if you lost loads of races at the start it'll take time to earn those points back).
I ran a little under 1:48 with the WRX not because I want to but because I have to just to get decent position on the grid. Sadly, yes the Audi is garbage, along with (strangely) the 458, and my beloved RSR which are all nerfed beyond belief. Example: on the run down to the first chicane my RSR can hit ~161-2 top speed, the WRX will hit ~166-7.
With you banging on about this I decided to take it for a spin and got a win straight away, my 6th so far in GT7, chuffed with that
I wonder if the tires are still cold on the first lap? Does that matter I’m this game? I ran trials for half an hour yesterday to learn race C, but as soon as the race went live I flew right on through turn 1 like I had never driven before. And I had a lot of company as half the field followed me right into the gravel. Every lap after that was fine, except for when the tires start to give out on lap 9 or so.
I have been lookin for a race i could try the jag or othwr car in besides my fav beetle, there are couple other cars i want to try as well, including viperWith you banging on about this I decided to take it for a spin and got a win straight away, my 6th so far in GT7, chuffed with that
And overtaking a WRX for it, who messed up turn 1 cos he was too busy trying to shove me off into the grass on the run in, well that made it even sweeter.
Well, without the video we can’t really say that. Any move where you don’t have at least some overlap, before the car ahead turns his wheels to start his turn in, is a late move that is your fault if contact happens because of it. So just because he may have been heads up and avoided you this time, don’t make a habit of those kind of moves, not everyone runs bumper cam with the radar and mirror to see your late move coming and avoid it, it won’t end well most of the time. Race smarter, not harder, leave the bravery at home and just make calm, smart decisions on track. You’ll finish Ali more races with a CRB that way and move up a lot faster.
I'm not one to give up (ever) but after about 50 laps with WRX and GTR I will admit that this track with BOP GT3 cars as the standard, I cannot go any faster than 1:49:4. I've seen the track guides from Kireth and another YouTuber I follow, did everything similar (to the best of my ability) but I'm always a few tenths shy in each sector.
Not a rant at all man, just trying to give you some info that will help you make smarter passes going forward, as you level up, that’s all. Late moves are low reward, high risk, and not worth it 95% of the time is all. 👍
Have to agree with you. I have a second account purely for racing and not caring about my result. On my main account I want to maintain and improve my DR but I feel like if I have a few bad races it would impact my score.
I've said it before, but if the game deems one responsible for punting someone off the track enough to enforce a 5 second penalty, then the punter should be shown the "black flag" and immediately be dropped from the race and sent back to the home screen. Period.
I've been using the Jaguar too - fastest of all the Gr3 cars for me. The only problem is that the Beetle and WRX drivers don't like you passing them, and try their hardest to ram you off!With you banging on about this I decided to take it for a spin and got a win straight away, my 6th so far in GT7, chuffed with that

If PD had released GT7's single.playwr part along with GTS multiplayer part, some new tracks and cars and a return to a previous penalty system I would have been much more happy at release.
While I don't think it's this extreme I think it is fair to assume that when GT7 began production, the Sport elements were at a much earlier stage of development than they were by the later stages of GTS' life. So I would definitely agree that GT7 has been built around and on top of a much earlier version of Sport.
I didn’t play GTS so unaware as to how good sport mode was, but for me GT7 Sport mode at the minute is the only reason why I am still playing the game.
