It definitely feels like something's changed at PD Daily Race Selection HQ lately.
Three race car races again, two weeks in a row without using Gr.4, Gr.1 as one of the shorter races for what I think is the first time ever, using the Nordschleife in dailies instead of just in GTWS, custom slipstream, the seemingly permanent Gr.3 credit bonus...
None of that was happening three months ago.

Indeed there has definitely been some sort of shake up.
As an avid Gr 4 fan it's slightly disappointed however if they are avoiding using them because of how bad the BoP is for them then that makes sense.
I would be extremely curious to see how the user base (the users that prefer A & B) react to this. If positively then we may see more like these events?
Just very weird shake up I feel 🤷♂️

Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: Easy as 1-2-3
The Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races have refreshed again for the new week, with an unusual-looking line-up that features racing cars across the board...

Wow, this should definitely be a 5-star week, I've never seen Group 1 cars in the B slots for as long as I've been playing. Sweet!! Yes, Race C was one of the tracks in the Manu cup. I signed a contract with Toyota last night, so now I know. Anyways let me go start qualifying at Watkins. I like how the Gr. 1 cars don't slide at all, but I have to be extra careful and brake early so I don't miss the turn.

He takes the bus stop flat....this is going to be a really hard race B this week

Nice start to the week as I called in sick today to run the Nurburgring a few times. Set a decent enough qualy at 8:13:8xx, good enough for pole by 8 seconds for the 7am EDT slot here in North America in a very mixed lobby from C/S to A+/S.
Pretty uneventful run for me as I slowly drew away from the field to bring home victory #10 in Sport mode in GT7. Won by 10 seconds in the end, with a little DR boost. Nice 550,000 credits for my efforts, too.

I would like to try race B this week, but how can I stop my wheel from oscillation with this Bugatti? Using DD Pro with standard fanatec settings (which suit me the best overall for road cars and race cars). As it is I can not drive this car and it looks like it is a one-make.

There's not even any brake markers for it in the Bugatti. I was half-expecting something like that because I remember the Circuit de Sainte-Croix circuit experience in it.
Have been concentrating on iRacing lately as I have been very disillusioned with GT7 ( I did try 1 spa last night but ended up as a pinball and lost my temper and retaliated...promptly went back to the PC 🙈). Anyway, Gr3 at the Ring in VR is heaven for me so I am looking forward to giving it a good go after work. Fingers crossed 🤞 it will be clean enough

Terrible week for me, I hate it when they put group cars on Race A. I look forward to race A being a standard road car race, I think it's a shame when group cars dominate daily races, there should be a mix for all to like.
One of the best weeks I ever had was with Skylines and a like, with modifications allowed and around Deep Forest, this is going back maybe a year. I honestly thought dailies were getting great, just downhill really since.
Just my opinion of course

I’m a simple man, I see Nurburgring 24h daily, I do a quali lap
I don’t know if I’m a bit unusual but I use CSA strong for these gr3 cars in races just to give me a bit more consistency. Plenty of time to gain as I love this track but set a nice time, not sure if I’ll be able to race this week as it’s a bit of a mess home life wise but I’d love to give it a shot.
No rain people say, what about pit stops?

Watkins Glen, what can I say. You ruined that one 😂 but I did get a time which was 985 in the world, went to 1017 after the race.
Strange wheel effects, bumpy when running straight, no feeling when turning? BB+5 helped a bit.
Just a strange mixture of ppl doing the bus stop flat out against ppl who are braking 🤔
Carnage it is
Look forward to see the settings and the racing develop, might sit this week out

I think last week was boring in a way, I only did 20 races at Tokyo before getting sick of the slow vans. Hopefully this week will be more enjoyable and fun to do since we're dealing with Group 1,2, and 3 cars.
I bet our friend @GrumpyOldMan will be tripping about the Group 1 event because he usually focuses on the B races, not the A and C ones.

Agreed, some people are lifting, some braking a tiny bit some are pretty much flat out.
The speed of the GR1 stuff and direct instant response feels out of place at WG at least to me.
None of the races are really appealing this week as I prefer closer more forgiving combos. C mostly gaps out a fair bit, B is hard to race close and consistently
A feels like the track is a bit small for GR2
Nice to see some fresh races even if they don't appeal to me much.

Well let's slam 2025 with a bunch of fresh events instead of the usual Gr 3/4 ones in the B and C slots. I need to focus at get to work at Watkins Glen, I gotta long week ahead. I agree with Glen, the Sprint track isn't suitable for Group 2 cars, but PD selected them for the track, so...
Ain't nothing I can do about it. I'll try to post my W.G. lap session later today or tonight depending on how much extra free time I have.
@brockie I will set my BB at 5 too and see what the car does, hope it helps. Thank you for the small tip.

Ya, I'm sitting that one out. I don't want to buy the Bugatti just to compete.
When they do GR1, they should limit it to the sub categories. Like GR1, but only the legends, or GR1 but only the Vision Cars, or GR1 and only the modern cars. We know they can do this, so why not? I think it makes the GR races more interesting if the choices are limited.
