I agree, I should have done that. My misconception was that the circumstances at Race B would provide enough space to avoid the trouble.

BTW also my DR has gone down quite significantly already. Seems to me that even the game freeze on PDs side counted as a disconnect against me and cost me some points, but I'm not sure about that. Can anybody confirm or rebut that?

Edit: Actually I'm now down to SR B. Which means three "unfinished" races - for different reasons - have sent me down from S to B. Which leads me to the assumption that the game freeze on PDs server side did indeed count ratings wise like a disconnect from my part. Not great.

Ugh! I never got disconnected until this week, then it happened twice. The new update may (or may not) have changed that, but I never had that problem before.

When I dropped to SR B it only took me those two or three long races to get back up. I think you’ll be ok next week if you do Brands Hatch from the back in a car you feel comfortable with.
 
This week has been a hard one, still lots to get used to from switching to the wheel but after many hours, I'm finally faster than previous controller times.

I know I have much more to improve on but I'm reasonably happy with my progress. Now coming to the actual Race B stuff, well...

Seems I cannot be consistent in terms of when to start turning into a corner and the steering angle. It's my fault but it's frustrating that I spent hours learning the wheel and my qualy time still has me starting 14th almost every race 🫤 It's not too horrible (I think) but again, it's my consistency.

Best lap is a 2:30 flat but I made a small mistake sector one and lost 0.3 and a couple of massive mistakes in sector 3 which cost me 0.5 seconds. I usually ace those sectors but lose time in sector 2 but inconsistency is my middle name at the moment 🤣

A lap later I was 0.8 seconds faster and blew the final corner and crashed 🤣 Still having fun re-learning how to drive and the incredible difference in immersion with a wheel 🙂

Actually, I already did two races B at Spa from the back (which at least got me back to SR A). I can tell you it feels quite weird to do that when your starting grid position is P3 or P4...😬
 
Next weeks Daily Race C. The Interlagos race with Gr1 cars.

Well first of all I have none of the cars from which a selection can be made. I, like many others, prefer to individualise my entry by having my own livery. So I am in the market for an additional Group 1.

Information from our colleague on Twitter indicates the selection from the following:

Toyota TS050 - Hybrid '16. Price £1m
Porsche 919 Hybrid '16. Price £3m
Audi R18 '16. Price £1m
Nissan GT-R LM NISMO '15. Price £1m

Anyone know why the price differential?
Anecdotally, the Porsche is the best for this event.
You can buy all of the alternatives for the price of the Porsche.
£2m credits via MTX costs £15.99 if cash poor in game.
Pay to win anyone. (Edit. I stand corrected….see below @Fezzik )

Not really pay to win if the car is otherwise free in standard livery.
 
I had a real good Daily Race A this morning - I had a Q6/P2, but I don't feel like it was a good battle with anyone or anything like that. More so that two of the best drivers in the lobby seemingly crashed out towards the middle of the race, and I think the pole-sitter was among them. At this point, I think I've done 21 races in Sport Mode, with 16 of them ending with me in the top five positions. Even though I only have a single overall win and two poles so far, I'd say I'm doing great!

To your point, restricting the ability to apply liveries is short sited. Liveries were not my thing until GT. PD has done a wonderful job providing sophisticated yet easy-to-use tools and then make the cars difficult to acquire nullifying a great feature.

I avoid paying to play. Just do not want to support that sort of thing.

There is a laptime challenge. It is renewed about every two weeks. A 5% delta, compared to the best time, is rewarded with 1,000,000 cr.

I have been able to buy and apply liveries to some of three Group 1 cars including the Porsche.

P.S. the F-1500T for race A is available for 1,000,000 via Brand Central | Asia | Japan | Gran Turismo | Showroom.

Done for the night, but thoroughly enjoying race A. The car is a wild animal, but you can kind of tame it, just never trust it 100 percent. Did have @Stephan show up for my final 2 races. I managed to run start to flag for wins, but I the first one he seemed to get the real race A experience and taste a little of the chaos.

Despite the nature of it there's been some really good clean racing in there. Had a wonderful 4 lap race with 1 driver, trading the lead after every straight. Up until I followed too close into 130r and didn't account for the dirty air. Only myself to blame, but a shame as it was a great race till then.

Yup it was messy plus I was rusty in driving the F1500T-A especially with how it handles now.

As for my sessions I was able to be consistent with the podium finishes when I was queued with @Redneckchef and then once I got queued with @pennanton for my last session for today I was on pole and it kept me on the edge of my seat as he was on my tail for laps 3-5. But I would like to apologize after that session because I was all over the place during the race and I may have affected his pace and his chance on trying to pass me after looking at the replay and it was a bummer because me and him were having a good battle for P1 in the last two laps. Once again I apologize for that race.

And lastly I've seen some oof moments from my today's sessions such as these.

Regardless of “official status” the Thrustmaster T500RS works fine with PS4 GT7 but not with PS5. The wheel only works in game. Add on rims for the T500RS don’t work at all.

Hey there. I bought a DriveHub a few years ago to use my Logitec DFGT with my PS4. It makes your console think you have a different but similar wheel. I used it for GT Sport and it worked awesome. I have a G29 now so I don't need it anymore and if you want it I'll sell it to you for like 50 Canadian loonies plus shipping. Looks like they have your wheel and GT7/PS5 listed on the DriveHub site.

No GR010? Why the hell did they add a modern prototype to Gr1 if they aren't running it alongside the others?

Seems to be a 2016 FIA WEC-themed race.

The exception being the Nissan, although that was supposed to compete in the season but nobody foresaw that the hybrid tech for the car didn't actually exist, the replacement didn't fit or work, it would be slow without any battery/motor assistance, and the car would experience 100% failure and 33% being on fire rates, so it was withdrawn and canned after its one and only race.

I assume that GT7 doesn't simulate that part? :D
Click to expand...
Indeed. It does simulate the fully functioning hybrid system though, which the car never had and which wasn't... real.

I recall they tried a temporary conventional solution to the flywheel KERS when, two weeks before the first/only race, the "real" thing hadn't materialised. It was supposed to deploy electrical energy to all four wheels - 800hp total, 550hp on the rear - but the battery replacement only powered the fronts (as did the ICE) and shattered the gearbox every time they tried it, so the car raced without it as a 500hp FWD. Remarkably it still hit speed traps at LMP1-H speeds.

Interestingly I never hear complaints about the car being in the game with its almost entirely fictional Torotrak Flybrid system intact. Or in its pre-Le Mans configuration.

Flybrid still exists, for reference, but it's now two owners along and being used as a storage system for industrial generators. Make of that what you will.

Are you saying its hybrid system is AWD in the game? Last time I drove it (admittedly a long time ago during a GT Academy TT), it was definitely only sending power to the front wheels.

No, just that it functions to provide the right amount of power for the 8MJ AWD flywheel hybrid (rather than the aborted 2MJ FWD battery hybrid, or the FWD no-hybrid). I've literally no idea how PD programmed the deployment!

In principle the car had 500hp or so going to the front wheels, then another 800hp (I mistyped above; 800hp total from the hybrid system, 550hp of which was going aft) out of corners to drive up to... I think it was 130mph.

Nissan was too quick to pull the plug. The theory was sound, it just needed more development time, maybe another year or two. With AWD working it would've matched the others on corner exit and would've been an aero missile down the straights.

I also wish GT would offer to simulate the car as intended. Call it the GT-R LM "Concept" or something like that. It's currently completely useless but would probably be very competitive in proper trim.
