Haha, you’re right the Atenza is definitely OP! However, everyone in the top portion of my friend’s list used it for qualifying and everyone who gave me a close race was also using it, including a couple top split drivers, one of whom normally outpaces me…at least they did in GT Sport. I’ve always liked Autopolis and I’ve always liked AWD, especially the Atenza. In GTS I drove for Mazda at least 4 different seasons. So I think I just had a lot of factors stacked in my favor more than anything, I was just happy with the results because before entering these races I was unsure and lacking confidence after transitioning to GT7 and the new, less forgiving physics. I’m sure it’ll only take another week or two of trying new combos to humble me and put me back in my place where I belong
Thank you for your positive feedback.Haha, you’re right the Atenza is definitely OP!

Maybe. But in my experience he's quick in anything.
Seems like a lot of people just love to trash talk the meta car and the people who use them. I always thought that since racing is a competitive sport, that us racers would do whatever it takes to gain that competitive edge. So why not use the car that is obviously the fastest? I never get locked into using the same car every week because the combos change and that means the metas change, forcing people like me to adjust to another car. Not gonna please everybody I guess. It just seems funny to me sometimes, this culture of NEEDING so badly to go against the grain that their choices become just as predictable as those who don’t have that need.
That is not the point, I'm afraid.
The only point should be that this game, like any other game, is for personal enjoyment. You race how you enjoy and I race how I enjoy. I didn’t make my post expecting congratulations or respect. It’s just a bit odd that your only input is negative, simply because I chose a car that you don’t like. Most people would have just said nothing instead of taking their time to tell me that I don’t get any of their appreciation. I could have chosen other cars, then your perspective is changed? Seems petty.That is not the point, I'm afraid.
I never said he wasn't fast. I am not 'fast' and I never chose the fastest 10 top car of the week. Doing that in GT Sport aswell.
It is a challenge and I don't critic who chose. I just don't congratulate the winner with the fastest car.
My main reason to don't want to climb to 'A', because when I race with 'A' players, almost all (if not all),
are driving the fastest car.
Kind of cup race. So I just want to be a 'B' where at least there is more car variety.
You should. As a wise man once said, use the best tool for the job. If you choose to use a screwdriver to hammer something, that's your choice. Part of being a good racer is knowing your tools.That is not the point, I'm afraid.

Meta car is boring cheese that's why. Not your fault.
Translated..Im a cornball who looks up the meta in every game I play so I can use the same gun, car, spells, team, etc etc etc as everyone else.
Part of being a good racer is setting your car up. Not buying a new car lol.
So you’re telling people they are boring for choosing the meta car yet you want to use your same car every week? Makes sense if you don’t think about it.
No, that would make you good at setting cars up. I wish I could be as quick as the casuals like Gallo and Hizal.
I’m quite open about being absolutely hopeless at tuning and setups. It was apparent I was definitely not alone when the Race C at Daytona came around and I watched a Kie25 stream where the top 4 all said that they were using the R8 setup that Kie himself had posted on YouTube that day. These are the best GT racers in EMEA but evidently not so good at setups.
Take the top 4 F1 drivers. Ask them to change a tire.
Definitely a weird phenomenon. A lot of vocal pro-tuning players claim BoP and default setups create a meta and tuning doesn’t but that doesn’t seem to be the case. It just takes a few days for the meta to emerge with tuning involved. Even if there are 3 meta cars instead of 1, a meta tune eventually emerges and we all go online and find it until we are all in the same or similar tune adjusted for the track. Wash, rinse, repeat. I just want to race, some people want to tune before they race. Both are fine.
Well, it's the driver that set up the car in lower classes but once you move up you got a team to do it for you. That is pretty much the same as choosing the META car.
Yes thats what REAL racers do buy a new car for every track.
They’re probably competitive people hence they would gravitate for a level playing field. I’m sure there’s been F1 drivers capable of winning the world title if they had a top car.
Yeah. GT Sport was perfect and no one ever complained about anything. No one was smart enough to ever complain about BOP. What were we thinking?
you argue like a 5 year old and I bet you drive like one too.
