GT7 Daily Race Discussion

I got punted and ended up punting the one in front of me. Waited for my "victim" and let him pass and didn't get a penalty at least, though the guy who punted me kept going so no idea what happened to him. I lost my clean race bonus for that race but at least no penalty...

 

[MicVic10]

The penalty system has been sent to the shadow realm, nowhere to be found I had to sweat my hands off to qualify in front everywhere to get decent races...
Way to go GT7! Remove penalties and annojnce GTWS! It's going to be fun competing for my nation, already devoid of players.

 

[Roggers]

Had some decent racing today.
Mainly done Race B. Not really liking Race C. And Race A I’ve not even done a race yet which I feel like I should as I own a Golf GTi and I like driving it on the game.

Race B
Done a fair few and they all been hard but fair racing, enjoyed every race today. Had a P5, P4, P12 (made an error in P2 on the last lap) & P3.
Race I finished in P12 I had a really good battle with the car infront in P1. I was quicker than them but they managed to put some distance to stop me diving in on the inside or they covered the corner off. I went wide at lesmo 1 and touched the gravel and it was game over, spun out and collected the car behind.
Last race I did all cars quali times were sep by 1.5 seconds so was expecting a tough close race. Battled P3 and got him out of lesmo 2 but at the braking zone off Ascari they came flying in and only just missed my front bumper by of only mm. Didn’t see them on the radar as they was out of range.
My only downfall is im a bit too slow on lap 1 as I want to avoid contact and penalties and I’m slow into a few corners. T1 chicane cars behind are either really good on the brakes or I’m too early. I’ve tried to adjust my braking but if brake later I’m off the track.

Race C
The super formulas are just unstable for me. Every lap I’m making and error in either turning in too early, or I’m going into the corner too quick and go wide. That fast right hander after the penalty zone is so awkward. Some laps I can totally nail it, then the next lap I’m spinning out. Only did the one race and I made a lot of errors that I was 2nd to last and 1.30 behind 1st. I still gained 1 position in the race but that was due to others quitting ahead.

So the GR Supra is for sure the meta car, dipping into the 1:45:xx on Racing Hards is mental at Monza. Coincidence that it’s a Toyota who have recently partnered with GT? Lol.

Also pretty annoyed about the FFB changes. Makes my DD Pro feel pretty weak.

Aside from that some good changes and hopefully PD can fix the FFB issues soon.

I definitely noticed that compared to GTS, one can brake much later in T1. In GTS i'd hit the brakes at 150m, now I am mid way to the 100m board. Takes some getting used to. My weakness is exiting 1, i always seem slow.

 

[Sven Jurgens]

It is frustrating to be pinged for tapping someone, i got a few of those last night, but it is better than green lighting bedlam if penalties are too lean.

Aye, this is the worst combination. Free to shove people off track, yet 'street justice' (the fear of retaliation), which kept GT Sport in check without penalties, still gets penalized.

Switch to compatibility mode (purple light) and it'll be fine. Removes the ability to use the individual toggles for the TC etc, but it's a workaround for now

 

[Billmellor]

Well done to all the rammer who cried about penalties being too strict, we now have gosport system back where you can punt people off with no punishment

You are all complete brats, yes it was Strict but more often than not it was correct, and encouraged people to avoid contact at all costs similar to iracing.

Now it's back to sending people to the realm with no punishment, making racing pointless. And don't say get higher rated I'm in a dr and s rated safety lobbies

 

[Devdude]

I still have no idea why the nerf of my beetle to 544hp, i race with them in manufacturers series & even if some thought it was meta, it never really was but for couple weeks in dailys, other than that the 550hp wasnt a huge buff to begin with compared to wrx or even lancers, still even if it was a meta then, the horrible 301hp gr4 car should have been reason enough to stay at the 550hp, just sayin

 

[fmq75]

People adapted very quickly to the new bop and penalty changes.And of course,abusing it.I guess it‘s time to extend the elbows as well.Sadly.

 

[sturk0167]

Even though there are penalties that can frustrate me, I ultimately don't give a damn what the system is.
Lots of penalties. No penalties. I'll adapt. Everyone I race with will have to figure it out just the same. 👍

 

[SeaNorris]

Did Race A in the Golf again just now, nice to see with the new penalty system those who use your car as a way to get around the corner are not punished.

If you think it's nice I suggest you try wreckfest be more up your street

Of course it isn't but also not only that, getting track limit penalties for not even leaving the track while someone is all the way off the track and not getting any is just absolutely confusing.

 

[Devdude]

Im actually nervous about racing in daily B tonight, as the penalty system was only thing keeping some lobbys from ramming you off road or into chicane

Picking a Manu before the update wasn’t a good move, we all knew BoP changes were coming. I waited until today for that very reason. The Beetle was too OP though, same as the WRX’s. It was almost guaranteed to happen.

Bingo, you could tell those two cars were gonna get nerfed a bit. They are still competitive though.

 

[sturk0167]

I'm pretty sure that yesterday, this would have got me a couple of penalties.
I had 3 front to back collisions in less than a second.


Obviously it wasn't my fault, but I was expecting a penalty, and it didn't happen.

I have always used volkswagon for manu races, so i was going with them again after test seasons anyways, i stuck with them before the small buff, i guess ill stick with them after the nerf too, i was just confused as to why nerf them but leave cars like wrx so high still, and no help on the Gr4 scirocco,but thats another story

Yeah, I was gonna pick Subaru last night, but then I realized the update was coming today and waited instead. I wanna see how thing shake out first before making a choice. There will just be a new meta, I have no delusions of PD actually fixing the BoP ever, but you might as well pick the new meta for this season, odds are we won’t get another BoP update before the season is over now.

Fair enough, it should still be a strong car, so you should be ok I think. After how OP the FF cars were for so long, I don’t see them getting any love anytime soon though unfortunately. I love the TT Cup car, but it’s not worth the suffering now.

My Manu cars have gotten Nerfed so often that it’s become a running joke that no one wants to pick what I do, because they know it will just get Nerfed. I think I’m up to 5 times now that it’s happened. 😂

Seems the Toyota has taken the meta spot if what the reports in here are true, i may try it just for a practice but maybe not drive it just for the meta win some are looking for in my lobbys, funny thing is watching them all over road and crashing because of how it handles and they cant control the car

Toyota Eh? 🤔 Did the Gr4 car get any adjustments? It has been fairly week for a while now. That wouldn’t be a bad pair if the 86 got any kind of a buff at all. The Supra is a weird car to get used to, between the short shifting and the near instant torque, it can be pretty challenging to drive at times. Or at least it was in GTS, I’m not sure if I’ve tried it yet in 7.

Im not sure if the gr4 got a bump or not but apparently the lobbies are full of Toyotas now instead of wrx, so i guess ill be only person in beetle now still lol

 

[sturk0167]

@Pigems Here's some more of that ghosting from today.
I haven't quite figured it out yet, but this time it looks like it's trying to protect me.
My car ghosted right when the other car was about to make contact.

 

[NikNakTobasco]

Well, I hope the people that wanted penalties gone are happy while they’re getting punted off repeatedly round Monza. No FFB, coupled with getting rammed off constantly, Game is a mess today

 

[sturk0167]

I didn't realize until now that yellow flag penalties were in GT7. I just got one.
In GT Sport, they were rare. I don't recommend that anyone slows down when you see one.
It's completely asinine.
95%+ of the time it won't be an issue.
But see how me and the other guy were racing hard, but the yellow showed up right before I passed.

 

[Cherryturbo]

GT Sport is looking like a very good bet right about now.

GT7 Sport mode is broken beyond belief. Are we sure that this isn’t PD/Sony trying to pull out of the online car racing genre? With the exception of graphics, nothing in GT7 Sport mode is an improvement on GT Sport.

Pity that the number of folks in GT Sport is now so low.

 

[NevilleNobody]

I tried hanging in there on SPORT but just not enough players

More often than not it was correct? you're joking.

More often than not I was getting penalties for something I wasn't even part of, people spinning off or getting desync contact from someone else, then onto me & into the gravel & I'm slapped with a penalty.

Or how about someone resetting to track as a ghost, and I drive through their ghost (it spawns as im driving through the apex for example), and it's still a ghost but it stops my car & gives me a 5 sec penalty.

 

[Nebuc72]

I did consider going back to Sport whilst the game was having issues early on but my god the physics in that game feel like absolute trash in comparison to 7 when you swap between them.

Despite all the problems this game has, the driving really does feel superb - I cannot fault it.
