I started with the T150 bought it on sale for a little over 100 euros last year on A..... then swapped out the cheap/bad pedals for the T-LCM then I got the T150 Wheel (what a the money was really good ) exchanged for the T248 without pedals. The T248 was new and since I didn't need pedals it was cheaper than any used T300 on the market. The T248 is only slightly worse than the G29, if at all, while the G29/G923 is worse than the T300. Then, from the price-performance point of view, nothing will come for a long time and then the DD Pro from Fanatec. The TGT II costs about as much as a DD Pro, but can NOT keep up with it, so it's actually not an option.
Sooooo who's out on the ring today?

Ah so you can race in Race B in a B rank lobby. Turns out you just need to be paired with clean racers.
Just done a quick race now, and set a 1.42.1 thinking this would get me top halfā¦. Wrong P9. Instantly thought thatās it race done and over even before I got to turn 1. Anyway Lap 1 went by with no issues. Lap 2 a few car ahead made a mistake (T1 going wide on the gravel and spinning and another into the S) and I made a pass on the start finish. Ran P4 for the rest of the race but had a Supra behind me and I managed to defend at the right corners to keep them behind me. Great race, loved it.
On a side noteā¦. Anyone here play ACC on PS5? Just bought it today the Day One edition for Ā£25 on Amazon uk. Just got to wait for the disc to turn up tomorrow

Two Race Bās on my 2nd account this morning, hardly anyone on, I was the only A+ and the grid went down to DR B and even an SR A in there. Two poles, two wins. No DR gained by the looks of my little bar. Now itās too hot to play anymore

I have T300 + TLCM pedals in the past with 30inch wheel, believe still the best price to value package, swap later to DD pro 8nm with LC pedals + 30inch GT3 wheel (28inch original ok, but i prefer 30inch), feedback force on DD pro with 8nm is quite obvious different to T300, however pedals TLCM better vs Fanatec at least for me. with T300 i have only one issue, if feedback force set to max after some long racing you feel that wheel become lighter, believe it is safety features adjust feedback to lower value to avoid it to have overheated or what so ever. Otherwise T300 and DD pro good wheels and it is all about the budget available
Pls share on ACC, will be very interesting to learn, your opinion vs GT7, thanks

Iāve got it but The online scene is basically non existent for ACC on ps5 which is a dealbreaker for me.

Single player is great but I'm pretty much past the point in life where I'm okay racing against AI.
Online is, as noted above, a ghost town mostly which is a shame because everything is there for a good time, except players.
It's also a bit confusing at times as race will end and then you're immediately in qualy for a different one or you start from the pit lane and the game hasn't told you why etc. so it's not the most pick up and play experience.

Yes will feedback my thoughts.
I love single player games. Did a 60min custom Le Mans last night in GT3 cars and I loved it. Chilled out racing, tried a few different camera views and car settings. Was great.
As for ACC, I think the game might start to grow a bit. Rory live streams the game a fair bit now so could be some more interest from those viewers and apparently Kie is also streaming ACC this week.
If the game is a bit dead then fair enoughā¦ I bought as it looks fun and I like itās dedicated a bit more to GT racing and has a bit more racing features to it compared to GT7. Iāll see how it goes once it arrives tomorrow. Iāll still always play GT7 as I think itās a great game and I know the future updates of GT will make the game even better.

Another day of lunchbreak racing...
Two more Races B, which seems to suit me well. First race I start in P2 again, and finish in P2 after getting overtaken first, and then the new P2 spins out and I get the position back. Nothing to see here.
But the second race, oh boy...
Seems like my DR has come close to A again, and in the next race there are some A/B drivers among all us B/S drivers. Great. And one of them is...
Whoever watches GT7 YT videos knows who that guy is. For me it was the first encounter in a race. And he lived up to his reputation...
First, he spammed the chat with some prefabricated nonsense. In the race, he starts P3, I'm in P5. So maybe I can avoid him?
Nope. Lap 1, after three turns, he already has the first incident with another driver, both go off track, and I get P3. But now this guy is right behind me, in a Supra, and he is quick. On the next main straight he comes close in the slipstream and does what he seems do do all the time: Approaching T1, instead of cleanly overtaking me, he swipes the inside rear end of my car to try spinning me around. I manage to hold the car on track, but my breaking grip is gone and I slide into P2 who is entering the corner and take him out subsequently. Sorry. I've got P2 now, but he is still behind me, and I'm not wanting to wait for the next dirty attack. So I step of the throttle and let him pass, several other cars pass me, too, and I'm P6. My concentration has gone, I miss a braking point, shoot another guy off the track (2 sec. penalty, deservedly so), wait for him to let him pass again, and finish P10. Race ruined completely.
At least I might have lost some DR points again, so that I will not meet this a......e in the next races again. The matchmaking is seriously flawed, though. So far all races B with exclusively B/S drivers I participated in were clean. I watched the replay: it was the A/B drivers that caused the trouble. It's like sending wolves into a herd of sheep...š«£

Did some Nurb on my B account yesterday. What an absolute ****show. I was starting from the back and was always hit of smashed into by someone going off and coming back on right into my door, like within the first 60 seconds. I'm going to have to set a quali lap to avoid the riff-raff. Will likely avoid this one on the primary account, but I've only got one afternoon into trying it.
Admittedly, I am having a hard time with these Gr4 cars (at least with BoP). The understeer is insane. Really wish C was in the Gr3 cars as they drive so much better, IMO. Anyway, I digress. I think I'll keep at it in the B account and hopefully get used to it. Been using the Viper and might try the Jag (which I've not seen anyone use so maybe it's no good).

PSA: There is an Indonesian ruining racing on the Ring in top split. Just swerves and brake checks anyone who tries to pass. He has a good qualy time, but has very poor race pace. Just keep an eye out for him and be ready. Video to come later.

Was looking forward to these races but a bit underwhelmed tbh.
Race B in mixed A/B DR, S/A SR lobbies. Ok if youāre lucky enough to avoid the punting, but like Seaside last week thereās corners where youāre completely at the mercy of anyone behind. Without proper contact penalties itās pretty demotivating. Also suspect many, many people use this as their main grind as itās the easiest/ most consistent of the Big Four, so they have an advantage over those of us who drive Tokyo or Le Mans more. That means many people in these lobbies can drive this track well without (m)any mistakes so itās hard to make up places cleanly. Done five or six races, starting mid pack, finishing top five every time if not punted or swiped (ie two times out of five!) Not a great experience, but maybe I should put more effort into qually...
Race B, everyone a bit frantic at the start, can make places in first two or three minutes just by driving calmly and staying on track. I always seem to make a minor error or two in the last third of the circuit though, even doing qually laps, donāt think Iāve had a clean one yet. Again, I get the feeling some people love this track and pound around it timetrialling different cars, think even I did it for a while back in GTS, though I seem to have forgotten the final third since then (despite doing the CE, it just doesnāt seem to stick). For those fortunate people, again, weāre just there to make up the numbers. I donāt see myself getting even a lucky win as the field spreads by the end of L1 and itās just a time trial for L2. Two races so far, made three places in one, but still finished only P6 or so, then started P6 or 7 but got distracted by a driver ahead going off and coming back on messily (tbf they didnāt hit me so it was my fault) and went into the sand myself. Ended three places down, so another āraceā that feels a bit meh...
Think I might spend a few hours just doing the qually timetrial thing to see if I can start closer to the front.

It feels different than GTS to me, specifically the church corner left start of sector 2, and the quick left before the last turn. I feel clumsy and slow in a way I didnt in GTS when it felt smooth and quick., probably due to the god awful to drive Supra

Managed to bring Daily B time down to 1:40.9 but I could go much faster, it's just putting down a perfect lap which holds me back š¤£
Seriously though, braking just a couple of feet too early or too late makes a hell of a difference. Was 0.6 up on my fastest lap and braked too early by a split second on the tight left hander before the straight.. lost all momentum and only improved by 0.1 š«¤
Current time is only good for 10 - 12 starting place but the race itself is quite fun and nuts š¤£ Had a slightly dirty lobby but ended up in a good finishing position at least š

May I suggest the Playseat Challenge? https://www.playseatstore.de/playseat-challenge.html
I've sat in way more expensive seats and they werent more comfy or anything, so I settled for this thing. Got it for 199. Funny little feature is: My T500RS makes the whole seat vibrate on curbs and stuff. The big racks dont do that, obviously.
Got nothing against the big setups, just wanted to throw this in too.

Yep. Was really looking forward to the Ring this week, but feel a little let down. I a hoping starting a little further up will help.
95% of it, as usual, comes down to the people you are driving against. I've had similar issues as you... behind someone who just blocks back and forth on the track, including the back straight. Multiple blocks and eventually I get beside him; he then starts hitting me trying to push me off. I had nowhere to go so fight fire with fire and I start pushing back on him and he crashes. I had enough of his BS. He then calls me out in the chat & quits. I say nothing. The irony is had he just let me passed he could've jumped into my slip and gotten the place right back.
I saved the reply to verify he was turning into me while I was on the edge of the track. Revisionist history is a b*tch.

Yeah sorry, I think I confused you there maybe, I messed up that post completely, first para is Sardegna race, last para is all about Race C at Nurb, not still Race B. Canāt edit it now as itās had replies, so making me look idiotic, if not schizophrenic...
I agree Sardegna feels different to GTS version, but that might just be the new physics I guess? Somebody more experienced is sure to know, donāt think any corners have been altered... I never drove it much in GTS, no online races I can remember, just the races I had to drive it for single player. It, along with some of the other make-believe āin the countrysideā tracks like Alsace, Maggiore, Gardens, and St Criox of course, all leave me a bit cold. Wouldnāt choose to drive any of them with some of the real-life tracks on offer. But GT7 has forced me to drive it to earn...
Edit: ah, ok, can edit it, so that previous post is correct now, makes more sense, left the edit bolded so the changed bit is clear.
Quick question: is there a ātrickā to the Karrussel in race C?
I take it normally, basically as in the CE, donāt think Iām especially slow there, but in the few online races Iāve done there I noticed a couple of people, not everyone, just a couple, take big chunks out of my lead there, close to a couple of seconds maybe. Are they riding the wall, or cutting across the middle? Or maybe theyāve just got perfect technique there (which would be a bit confusing as they didnāt appear any faster than me over the rest of the circuit)...
Just wondering if thereās a known trick or something.
And yes, before anyone asks, I am too lazy/otherwise occupied to watch replays; donāt think Iāve ever watched one in my life...

You guys always on about understeer etc. You need to adjust your driving for these cars, square up the corner a bit more and stop trying to carry so much mid corner speed and focus on exit. In saying that, you're a full 1.5 seconds faster than me so i'll shut up. I guess my point is, i don't find the supra bad to drive at all.

On Sardegna, a track that i knew good from grinding, i seem to get a real problem.
I won my first 2 daily races in the Jaguar, a car i found really fun to drive. The i changed to the Supra, which was not faster for me but easier, no understeer at all. Supra is ok on the Brakes but the Jag felt better with later brake markers.
As soon as i changed a lot between the two cars it seems i get worse and worse. Now i can't be fast on any of them. š
I will try and focus on the Supra as with online racing and my little experience i want a car with less understeer.

I've been practicing for race B for quite a while now. I specifically did NOT start in the Supra but in the Ford GT. Still riding AT I had quite a bit to do, eventually I managed a 1.40.455.. more is possible.. but getting it in a lap is tough. In principle, MT can do more, but I can't do a clean lap with it.

Trak Racer TR80, Fanatec and '11 Mustang bucket FTW. Very happy with this setup. Check the Sim Hardware forum here https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/board/sim-racing-hardware.163/ for lots of good info.
At this point I just play GT7 for drifting and only do sport mode when they have daily races with Super Formula and Super GT cars. For GT3/4 cars, I'll play ACC, they're much better portrayed there. Race A would be nice but no shifter allowed is a deal breaker for me.

Anyone else getting Unexpected Error PE-2F001F8 when trying to join daily race c (or whichever race). I joined and completed race just fine moments ago, but won't let me in this half hour.
EDIT: Tried closing GT7, cleaning network data and even restarting PS4 pro... nothing works. oh well, looks like I'm done racing for a bit.

After I saw you quali time, I wanted to try that car. Which means I had to buy it. It drives very nicely, with some potential. On the first and only flying lap with it, I had a 1:41:3, which is only 4 tenth slower than my personal best (with the Jag). I'll give it some more laps to see what it can do (it was too expensive not to use it...š)
I love the idea. The work I would have to do for that... maybe not so much.š But my son is quite creative and good at stuff like that. Maybe I'll give him an order...š
