Use the tire marks as reference points. That's always helped me

Don't think the fuel burns off quick enough to give any noticeable speed bump, and meds and hards in good condition here don't really have a substantial difference between them. If I could have ran in low 1:21's consistently like I had wanted to I still think it could be an effective strategy but it might need to be a med-hard lap 1 pit to get out of traffic to try it.

I am new to tuning and realizing it means everything in the dailies.
Last night, I was in the Integra DC2 and Daily A at Blue Moon, and had improved my lap times by 4 seconds after tuning. Yay! I am a superstar!
Go to my first race and the Sciroccos just walk away from me - I mean I can't even stay in their slipstream in the straights - they are just that much faster. I notice I am faster in corners, so I change my aero, alter top speed, add a mid-range turbo, etc....the Sciroccos are still just walking away any time the wheel is straight. I have widened and narrowed gear ratios and adjusted top speed - this seems to make a lot of difference in cornering speed, but not straight line speed. I have also tried other's DC2 tunes.
The last race I tried had another Integra on the grid - who was 2 seconds faster in quali, and walked away from me by 10 seconds by the end of the race. I could not draft him either. Clearly I am doing something wrong.
With BoP, limits on weight and bhp, how do you make the car just go...faster??

Thread 'PRAIANO'S TUNES : SETTINGS FOR GT7'
Check him out a lot of great info.
There’s a few different parts that make the engine rev faster and smoother without adding any hp. Also any and all upgrades to the suspension/ handling is a good start. ( if able to use the anti lag system do it. 🍻

I have been running the Integra also - I am 12 seconds off the pace of the Sciroccos in my class after a half-dozen tuning changes.
I have used Praiano's tunes for other cars - nothing available for the Integra that I see. I'll see about anti-lag. I am losing time getting the motor to pull sooner so I am certain I can improve with the right gear ratios.

had this experience last night... its really deflating! i actually like driving the praiano scirocco, and was excited to have the chance to have some competitive races last night (with the Sturk on the grid).... i just got obliterated on every turn.
knowing that the next race, the same drivers will have the same SR and be on the grid... well that pretty much ends the session for me.
going to work more on the * DS 3 Racing '11 (is that what its called??) today - i picked the goofiest thing in my garage that fits the regs and i'm learning how gear ratios work. i can probably get it into the 1:23s, its a lot of fun to drive coming out of the corners. someone of praiano's ilk could probably get it down to 1:22

Pull sooner like in the lower rpm’s? If possible the low end turbo charger and pretty much any upgrade to increase hp but more importantly torque. Build the motor way overboard and get the racing computer and the power restrictor parts. Use the power restrictor to to decrease the hp. Bottom line is find you some torque. Or possibly a better corner exit speed. 🍻

Best race c strategy?

Not much strategy really. Start on hards regardless of grid position. Pit after 9-11 laps. You could put earlier but the mediums die quick.

Well, i've done two races so far, in the first one i started 8th e finished 1st and in the other one i started 2nd and finished 2nd, but i led the race for 13 laps, but the winner started 6th with hard tires and then he switched to mediums on lap 9.
I used medium tires until lap 7 and then switched to hard, so i'm a bit confused on the best strategy.

In race C is the BRZ still really easy on tire wear like in the past, or has it been nurfed for weight?

It's especially fun to grab a police livery, get the lights flashing and play cops-and-robbers. PIT those felons!
EDIT - should only do this on a burner account

Good question... With the low tire wear maybe it could run an extra lap or two on the mediums.
Has anyone tried this car?

There is a GTPlanet tag already established although I rarely, if ever, see it outside of WRS, GTP_ before your name. I've had it on my PSN since GT5.
PS> In the "old" days the GTP tag was required to participate in WRS... I think because there were TT competitions with other "discussion boards"... don't know the exact history because even I'm not that old [for GT that is, I'm that old in RL]. lol.

I've used it. It's mega fun to drive but the slightly lower tyre wear it suffers from is offset by its lack of pace. If your finding the MR cars (namely the Porsche) hard to drive its a decent alternative, it's probably the 'easiest' Gr 3 car to drive imo.
The last S turns are where you gain/lose most of your time, i could probably count on one hand how many times i've probably nailed it (and I've done more laps of Fuji than any other track). Even with the soft tyres and the high downforce of the GR2 cars i quickly switch the TC on for this section.

Did a C on my 1 account, starting P2. Got PIT manuvered twice on lap two and dropped back to last. The first one put me into the wall, which I then got a 1.5s penalty thanks to cheaters on the HSR. Can't even remember where I finished, but I think it was P9. Was behind a few B ranked drivers at that point. That's not going to help the DR.
I was pleased to find out today that the Raybrig NSX Gr2 car isn't horrible. It's actually quite good. Got a race B win with it today on the 2 account.

PD has completely ruined race A.
I was a big race A fanatic in GT Sport. I really like driving street cars. It was always really fun and competitive. Now, nobody really wants to do it.
The familiar faces are few and far between. Even a BenRod sighting is rare, nowadays.
It's not uncommon to see C/B, or D/C drivers in the top-split race.
The no-rating aspect of it is undoubtedly a big factor. I suppose some people don't like that everyone is free to hit them with no consequences (no SR points), and some don't like that their achievements go ignored (no DR points).
Honestly, I get no joy from starting at the back, getting to P1 on the first lap, and winning by 10+ seconds. Truly, it does nothing for me. I want some battles, but the people who are good, are apparently uninterested. I get it.
Either way, they have alienated a large group of customers.
If anything, folks were hoping for a 4th daily race, but now there's really just two. Someone messed up, badly.
Better fix it soon. I can already see the customer base dwindling. The people who do daily races are the core customers. They are feeling disappointed.
It really does bum me out.

At this point I'm pretty content, providing they are using Race A as some kind of test bed.
My honest opinion, though, is that once you have found your 'natural' DR then it's still a good place to find races with well-matched drivers.

Truer words never spoken there mate. Was my favourite race for ages, my fondest memories of GT Sport are the Honda Fit and Laguna Seca in Race A - gave some surprisingly fantastic races.PD has completely ruined race A.

But, coupled with them not counting for anything and generally just being plagued by tuning exploits turns me straight away from it. It was good fun on Monday, but quickly the Scirocco took centre stage and now you just have everyone running off in that. One or the other doesn't bother me, I think a lot of people agree with that as Race A got decent participation when it was gr3 at Bathurst and Catalunya - but with it being exploit central that also means nothing... there's ultimately no real fun to be had. Dwindling player numbers only compounds that too.
There's still a lot of potential for Race A to be fun. GT is sorely lacking an online quick race that provides some good online variety. I still see no reason why Race A can't be that, either through making the combination change more often or by adding shuffle mechanics (PD, please...) but whatever, we can only hope.
It is extremely sad to be essentially limited to two races per week now.

2 more races tonight. Both in stacked lobbies with myself being one of the few B rank drivers.
Race 1 I start P10 and everyone is way too fast and skilled for me to keep up. I just turn my laps and finish P11.
I go again and am P14 on the grid and it's more of the same. Only this time a driver brakes earlier than I anticipated going into turn 1 and I'm forced to make a dive a hopefully avoid making a mess. I get tagged on the rear and I fall to P15. So, at that point I turn my laps and wait until the race is over. I did get to very briefly drive behind the greatest livery I have ever seen.
But the Whopper car is too fast for me, and I give a sad farewell wave to the fastest Whopper on the track. Thanks to rage quits and a driver on dead tyres I finish P12! Yay!
It's that point of the week where I'm getting placed in lobbies that are way above my skill level. I think this combo is great, but no fun when I get left behind. I'm going to switch my focus to the GTWS Manufacturers Cup and get some practice in at High Speed Ring. Let's hope next week has some decent combos.

Props to the fellow countryman who gave the slipstream to me instead of the unruly, erratic Brazilian on the final turn at Fuji. I got 3rd by a hair because of him.
My super low 30 seemed to be a decent enough time. I started in the top five in all my races today so I don't feel the need to improve it, even though I know I can shave at least three tenths off.

Come on mate. You and I both know how misleading it is to say that they have been doing online racing for 25 years.
Anyway, I've already decided I don't care too much about increasing my DR above whatever A-grade I'm currently at, what I do care about is fun racing and Race A has generally provided it, ranked or otherwise.
I understand others don't feel the same way, and that's fine.

The conclusion I’ve drawn isn’t the same. It’s that hardly anyone cares about racing road cars and even less about tuning them. At catalunya and bathurst you could have 6 or 7 A+ at a time in pretty stacked lobbies. Those races were fun. For many people as soon as they see ‘tuning’ they’re out. Me included.PD has completely ruined race A.

Here's my best lap so far in a RCZ for Race A. It's the fastest RCZ on the leaderboard.
I don't know if downforce and widebody would help but keeping the straight line speed makes it hard to pass in races.

There's a lot of people interested in tuning in the game who avoid daillies because they're typically BoP or pure racecars, they likely rarely ever go into Sport mode to see what's on offer and the game does nothing to highlight that there's new races available or that there's a chance to tune in one of them, perhaps a banner or pop up on the home screen would help with this.
While there's a lot to like this week, at least for me, I still maintain the game urgently needs faster rotating of the dailies as doing it weekly just isn't holding onto players. If there was a race that shuffled every hour or so it would really help IMO.
F1's online mode. has a ton of problems, enough that I'm skipping this years edition, but at its best you would be happy to sit in the same lobby for a few hours as you know you're going to get to race on a bunch of different tracks (when it works), and you would end up with a pretty full lobby of the same players as it's an addictive system.
