I have to say, the thing I've been improving most on over the last few months is my braking (left trigger) control. I've definitely got quicker now that I'm better at getting slower.

That said, I'll be sticking with ABS Default as my good intentions all go out the window during those tense racing moments.

Brake earlier but slower and then wind on the trigger. Only over ms but apply pause and then go hard ;)
 
Ah the irony of life, or GT7 which I admit can sometimes take over it 🤣

I put all my effort into getting a good qualy time (main account) to try and start at the front and have a good race but.. 9/10 times get punted to last within the first 4 corners of a race.

I do a chill qualy on 2nd account and actually end up having nice, clean and fun races starting from the bottom?! 🤐😅🍌

Just finished work and had to instantly put my "let's be serious" helmet on as Man Utd playing tonight so won't be online later 🤣

Only did 4 laps and this happened... Maybe the strap is on too tight? 🤣 Over to you, sir 😁

I see we are not friends... let's change that. Sent you request.

All that bashing about in B means my SR dropped and i was put in mostly DR-B rooms. Managed to get two P2 finishes and recover some DR and SR. I was then plonked in an all A room and again the bashing and barging is completely ridiculous. It's totally out of control. I managed to survive for a P5 finish but could just as easily been last.

So what happened? I just started mutliplayer last month (deep forest week), why is bashing so prevelant now? Did PD change penalty system? I thought if you hit someone or knocked them off track it was a penalty, but I have been punted at least 2-3 times over last week and no penalty on other driver.

I don't hate the track but I completely agree that it's like there is no single, consistent reference point! Like I cannot do the same exact thing on different laps and expect the same outcome!

Well the track is in Barcelona and they're United's opponents tonight, so ok, changed my mind, I hate the track and any other sport/ team related to this city 🤣

On a serious note, the only other car i seem to go fast with is the old Castrol Supra! Still half a second slower than the Nissan but compared to the rest, it's a beast (for me) 🤣

And just like in GT7, United suffer an unjust penalty at the start....
 
Leon Kowalski
Arrrgh! 😬 Now I'm screwed.😆

I tried the GT-R, I'll never match your time with it. I just can't drive it. Last hope: the Jag.🍻



BTW I really hate the Barcelona track. To be precise: I hate every single turn, except the one that avoids the chicane in this layout. I don't find reliable brake references in several turns, I don't "feel" it when to step on the throttle, and there are apexes that I've never seen from any closer than two meters. I hate the whole damn thing. 🤣

I discovered that there is an orange mark on the opposite barrier at nearly every turn that marks the beginning of acceleration point. I’m not sure this is intentional, but it sure seems like it. @Tidgney points it out on T3 in his video, but I’ve noticed them at nearly every other turn as well. I may be off, and I’ve only run a handful of laps at Catalunya, but it’s all I can see now!

Full honesty it's just hassle to do that, secondly as big as this forum is I'd like the ability to select specific level ghosts without having to ask, wait for a reply, go find it, then improve, comeback ask again....rinse and repeat.

I get it - you wish PD would incorporate more ghosts. So do I, but don't expect it anytime soon. If the other alternative is too much of a hassle, then don't do it.

No, I suggested a way people could benefit better and learn. I also posted how braking is the fundamental to go fast.

I don't need PD to add ghosts nor do I seek out community ones but I'm just one of many thousands of players who probably could benefit from these things.

So no, I don't think "you get it"
 
Leon Kowalski
Well I know what you'll be doing if I come close to your time: you'll drive two or three more laps and restore the order...😆
Click to expand...
Hahaha maybe at some other track, but Catalunya is the spawn of the devil and whether or not I can put a lap in that's below a 39.5 is pure luck. I feel like I'm at my limit here, I have absolutely no idea how to go faster.

If you have no idea (which I don't believe for even one second 😆), then I have one for you: try the BRZ. I was very surprised. At first it was like, yeah, drives nicely, but slow as ****, I'll end up one second slower than with the Porsche or the Jag. But then I realized how well it handles the medium to fast turns, and I got quicker and quicker. There would have been three or four tenths of improvement in it if I hadn't messed up the hairpin or the final corner again and again.

Huh? Let me refresh your memory:
newmedia_dev
I really feel we should have an option to see the top S,+A, B,C ghosts as to pace at our current/own ability levels

That's you, right? Or are there multiple accounts with the same name?

I couldn't get on with the BRZ at all unfortunately, I've given it a go a couple of times and I'm losing time.. somewhere. It was my go-to at Seaside last week, so I'm familiar with how it should drive, I just cannot get it to do Catalunya.

You did however remind me of the fact the Porsche exists, which somehow slipped my mind entirely - and I improved my lap by a few hundredths on the first go round with it, so I might've found the rest of my time in that car somewhere, we'll see tomorrow. Thank you for the tips and uh.. sorry. Maybe.

I feel like something has changed with the BRZ since last week, It doesn't have the precision it felt like it had last week, could just be me though!

Qualifying 0 (faster), in the race sometimes +1 (depends on the car), I just don’t wanna ruin the race due to a 180 😂 and often people in front crash and I get better places only out of constantly no crashing 🥴😉
Click to expand...
That actually makes a lot of sense. I mess around with settings, and even different cars when I run qualifying. But when I run the race, just like you I'd prefer not to ruin it just because I want 360-degree panorama. 😂

I was thinking the BRZ had much better acceleration at the start, but then seemed far looser in the corners... About the end of the first lap was when i realised i was still in the Corvette 🙄😂
 
Has anyone else noticed that the oil, engine, and stiffness are degrading way faster than they used to?

I swear I just changed the oil a couple of days ago, and now it's back down to "normal". I realize that "normal" is still OK to drive with, but it's like the blinking fuel light - it's going to be a problem soon. And in this case, sooner than it used to.

EDIT: Make sure you check it regularly, because one minute it's fine, and the next it's not. Which I guess is kind of obvious, but you know what I mean - it's unexpected.

Check the stuff I mentioned above. I'm curious if it's changed for you too.

Oil has always degraded quickly, it's likely just placebo.

I'm pretty sure BoP negates anything like that anyway, so it doesn't matter. My WRX has had "Bad" oil for a while but it doesn't seem any different in BoP races.

I think that there is no car wear (no miles recorded) in the dailies if you have entered a race and do qualification laps, but if you jump on and just do quali laps your car will accrue mileage and therefore engine wear.

[Edit] I point this out because a lot of people have been challenging each other’s times on practice laps, which will add a lot of miles to their cars.

This sounds right actually, I recall the same thing being figured out.

If anything it'd be that then, you haven't been entering races so you've been wearing down the car in practice/quali.
