Dammit, now I gotta go try to get into the 18s again!
I didn't save my 19.017 replay as I wasn't particularly proud of it.
I don't get it either. All they're doing is absolutely killing both drivers' races (assuming there isn't a crash, which is a bold assumption). Obviously coming out of Radillion slow hurts all the way down Kemmel.
Hang back a little, just enough to mitigate the dirty air, get a run and make an easy pass on the straight. Unless you're this guy... "Hold my ice cream bar, I know what I am doing."
Yeah, I haven't played much online since kyoto, was p1ssing me off how thick some people are, trying to overtake in the chicanes on that circuit.

Had a blast at Race C this week and racked up another 10 or 12 wins in the Silvia, which I love to drive. I tried some no-qualy races at first but it was just too much of a deficit for me to make up so I decided to put in a qualy lap that was good enough for top 5 starts. Hit a 2:02.8 and was satisfied with that. It was good enough for pole in most of my races since I typically race at odd times. I had some great battles with one or two other A+ drivers in almost every race but was able to get the win every time after setting a lap. Fastest lap in race was a 2:04.2 and best race time was 19:18. I was running softs the whole race and making the decision to pit on either lap 4 or lap 5 on the fly based on traffic and my closest competitors. Most of the time I was pushing the car at 90-100% but would save a little fuel here and there if I felt like I had a large enough gap. I think pushing and refueling ended up being a bit faster than fuel-saving.
Since so many people are posting their updated stats page, here’s mine. They are definitely skewed by me not racing at optimal times but even still, I’m pretty happy with my limited results in GT7 so far.

Too bad we never ended up in the same lobby. Also had fun in Race C. I was driving the Megane and my fastest total race was 19:20. The Silvia definitely has the pace over the Megane, but they are close, especially if I can draft the Silvia and save fuel. There is just no match on the straight coming out of the S's and going slightly up hill... so many laps I had a better run there only to have Silvia on my bumper just before the downhill. The amount of time they could make up in draft was ridiculous. If I started the week over I'd drive the Silvia, but got the Megane pretty dialed in and had a lot of success with it. My fast lap in races was usually low 2'05 unless I could draft in key areas in which case saw a couple high 2'04s. It was really hard to run a 4/5 strategy with the Megane therefore hard to employ an undercut as the tire wear was bad, but 5/4 worked better oddly. I had to drive closer to 90% on the first stint so in a closely matched race it was almost better to be just behind a Silvia and save fuel rather than the other way around. Of course having a nice gap early was even better. lol.
That all changed today. A couple really fast qualifiers from Brazil (A and A+) with quali times in of 2:02.0 and 2:02.4 didn't actually race that well, but between the two of them starting 1/2 could hold up the entire field and make a mess of the race... once you get bogged in traffic the Megane is junk and just can't overtake. The Brazil drivers were dirty also and eventually induced other guys to trade paint with them and they lost time or just completely took each other out. Sad to see. They had no qualms about bumps in the brake zone and passing without a care. Got a first and a fourth with them in the room and two controlled and clean races myself and decided to call it a day.
Can't complain too much, the entire week until today was almost totally fair and clean racing in DR A/A+.

Yeah don't get me wrong, didn't completely put me off as such. Ended up getting back into single player, hot lapping and random races using praianos tunes. Suited my mood more, as get really 'dialled in', super focused online, whereas I find single player less demanding in some ways. But online brings an edge you cant find racing against cpu. Online is the end game and where ill no doubt dpend a lot more time overall.
Great thing about gt, plenty of variation... for me anyway, I know plenty think otherwise!

That's one he'll of a record, assume a lot of that is in the top tiers as well.

I'm really digging the A races using your own car. Other than the strangely tuned Ferraris and Mazdas, there's a nice mix of cars. I tried driving one of those weirdly tuned Ferraris and it was just horrible but fast. Not fun at all. I don't know what the joy is in beating everyone by 20 seconds. But I guess that's part of the joy, you can race anything you want in this week's A.

Thank you. And yes sir, all of my races are in top split for daily races. However, I am often joined by DR-A and DR-B drivers due to the lower participation at the times I race as well as the PS4/PS5 split in GT7 dailies. I think at least 12-15 of those races were starting from the back with no qualy time. Got a few wins that way but most of them were after setting a good lap by my standards.

Well if this week has taught me anything its that i really must try and get better at non FF/4WD cars. My quali time for race C is top 400, but I'm just utterly crap in the race (in the Sllvia/Megane). Something i really need to work on.

I don't care if the meta is the Genesis or the Supra concept or whatever else, I'm going with the 'Vette.*

I believe until PD finally gets the Supra back on track this car will be meta everywhere or at least always in the top 3 at every track.
This car was simply lifted too high at 1.13 by PD presumably to lick Toyota's ass in time for the Cup and the release of the hypercar. In my eyes it's really a **** action. This was again very easy to observe in Spa, every "Dulli" uses this car, regardless of whether he can handle it or not. And it was hardly possible to drive away from them because they could drive 10 km/h faster on the straight with the part than I did in my not exactly slow Ford GT. And at least 10 km/h more top speed, with comparable cornering speeds, makes the car a tough opponent.
First it was the Beetle that was too strong overall, now it's the Toyota. It's a shame that PD still has such problems with the balance. (or make it stupid on purpose)
I think I'll stick with the Ford GT, it feels really good at Watkins Glen this weekend. Maybe not the fastest, but it's comfortable to drive and therefore pretty consistent for me.

I wish it didn't have such an obstructive cockpit view, and I'm committed to the view now in any racing game. (young me would have been amazed to think what this looks like now in 2022). Similar to the RSR it's just really difficult to see around the wheel when you're turning, making it tough to line up exits or spot the right line through a complex like Eau Rouge.

I can understand that well. I'm really not that good at this view either, but maybe it's something to do with my small monitor.
What I also do NOT like is that the Gr3 Ford GT does NOT have a real racing cockpit. The entire interior is that of the standard car, only a roll cage is in it. I would still accept that for a Gr4, but a Gr3 shouldn't/shouldn't look like that. far too much weight, far too little protection/safety.

They don't really give you a wide range to work with, so it can help a little but doesn't get rid of the problem. It's relatively minor as most cars are perfectly fine and you can get used to the ones that are more difficult to a certain extent, it's just not ideal.

Aaaaaaand Lago maggiore AGAIIIN. 40 locations and we are still at lago maggiore.
Great one at watkinks with gr3 cars and forced to use soft and medium tyres. No hard ones

Race C it is this week then, the other two look boring.
Hopefully PD will fix the suspension PP changes after analysing the data from the last week of Race A. It was ridiculous i could add 100bhp and reduce the weight by 40kg on the same car to stay at 450PP just by raising the front suspension..

I stumbled upon Praiano's Tunes and found the 450PP setup for the Toyota GR Yaris RZ. I used a modified version of that setup to win the 23:00 and 23:40 slots of daily race A on Sunday night. I then entered the 0:00 slot of race A, where finished in the top 5.
