GT7 Daily Race Discussion

My wife is out of town so I had a 710 mile race day today, all at Le Mans. Needless to say, I saw some strange things.

Between lap 2 & 3, three of the top 4 race leaders pitted… there is no required pit in race C 🤷🏼

I had a guy bump drafting me the entire way down the Mulsanne Straight and then continue 2 more times on the way up to Indianapolis. Every time he bumped me, I moved ahead and he moved back.
The only real problem I had was that I was expecting him to punt me at Indianapolis but he never did 🤷🏼

It looks like you can blow through both chicanes without a penalty which, apparently, people were already aware of 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m amazed at the vast quantity of drivers that think they can maintain qualifying speed through turn 1, lap 1 of virtually every race 🤷🏼

The funny one has been the gravel at the Mulsanne curve after the very long straight, I’ve seen some drivers try and take that corner at 200 mph 😵‍💫

All in a days work I guess.

Disappointing night if I'm honest.

A p2, p8 and pit finish and a quit.

The p2 and p8 all fine I pushed too hard and lost it in the second one that is racing.

But and I'll be honest I hate the trolls (pink car dude wears his heart in his sleeve and is fast so you can race him, he usually wins but that's ok)

It's the person in 9th that some how wanted to pummel me in to submission.

I get a bit of contact, I get (don't agree with) a bit more contact passing someone running wide who doesn't like it. I get it.

What I have zero time for is being constantly trying to pitt me down the straight and when that doesn't work just rear ebd me off. I'll sit in the pits rather than race that crap.

I want to ask you guys, have I offended anyone or done something wrong? I'd like to think I've heard my head high, been accountable when needed and am just a nice racer who's working on my craft.

I feel utterly deflated as I've never had that sort of behaviour in any of my accounts the odd feisty one or KV but he's mellowed for now with me.

Maybe I'm just not the racer I want to/think I am

Might step away from gaming for a while.

Edit: VR makes this all a bit more personal

I don't think I've raced you yet, but your posts ( even though I don't agree with some) are well written and to the point. Ive not seen many posts on GT planet that are offensive to somebody. As for racing, my experience is probably 50/50 in good and bad races. You just have to think to yourself " Why does this game matter so much to them?" Then have a chuckle and enjoy life.

I had a bad run here, worst than my first ever qualifying lap. You'll see my gearing was off quite a bit in some areas of the track. The blind corner always throws me off in a bad position to where I'll lose time. I do not like the esses at T2-T5, I always get nervous and lose my rhythm on the track and go into the grass or I cut the curb and get a penalty. The Roadster is fun, enjoyable and neat to drive around though so I can't complain about that.

The part near the infield bridge where the Firefox Factory logo is can be a pain too, the chicane there, most of you probably know what I'm talking about, similar to the first Monza chicane.
