This what ChatGPT thinks;
Interlagos is a challenging and technical track, and being fast there requires a combination of driving skills, car setup, and race strategy. Here are some tips that can help you improve your speed at Interlagos:
Study the track: Before you even hit the track, take some time to study the layout of Interlagos. Look at the circuit map and try to memorize the corners, braking points, and the racing line.
Practice your driving skills: Interlagos is a technical track that requires precision and consistency. Spend some time practicing your driving skills, including braking, accelerating, shifting, and cornering.
Adjust your car setup: A well-tuned car can make a big difference in lap times at Interlagos. Consider adjusting your car's suspension, aerodynamics, and gearing to suit the track.
Focus on braking: Interlagos has several heavy braking zones, so it's important to get your braking technique right. Brake hard and early, and try to release the brake pedal smoothly to avoid locking up the wheels.
Use the kerbs: Interlagos has some high kerbs that can be used to gain an advantage. Try to clip the inside of the corners and use the kerbs to help you turn in.
Plan your race strategy: Interlagos is a long track, and tire wear can be a factor. Consider your pit strategy and try to conserve your tires early in the race.
Practice, practice, practice: The more time you spend on the track, the better you'll get. Practice your driving skills and car setup until you're confident and consistent.
Remember that being fast at Interlagos takes time and practice. Keep working on your skills and setup, and you'll see improvement over time.

I'll be a bit of a contrarian here. You didn't just mess up turn 5, you accidently hit the TT. You should have yielded the turn to him to keep the peace. Secondly, you totally miss the apex into the tunnel and push wide, equally to blame for that contact. Once you're inside you need to keep it tight with a man on the outside. I'm being a bit harsh but if we all did as i outline above there would be way less niggle.

Depends what end of the B spectrum you’re looking at. B still makes mistakes. Ask me how I know 🤦♂️
But for the most part the point is valid, B should know what they’re doing.
You can add me as a friend if you what a low ranked B in you GT7 list.
Which tunnel? The first was my standard line that I find (for me) to be quickest. The outside line coming in is not. As the video shows I took out several car lengths in the one corner on the Audi.
In the subsequent right hander, I deliberately did not hit the apex and went wide as I thought, at the time, the car behind was on my rear flanks and I was trying to protect myself from being hit. Alas I carried just a bit to much speed, or braked just a little late, and I hit the curb which bounced me back into him. Perhaps you are right about yielding the spot back; it's easy to say that in hindsight, However I have rarely seen a case where someone actually did yield back the spot in the short race Bs. Not saying that's right, just racing at the low B, race B, "typical".
The next tunnel, I was aware of others to my right, having just been knocked left, so made best of that as I could and then it was the fault of the others for cutting right into. At that point I would have stayed on the inside and they could have stayed on the outside.
So I appreciate the feedback, thank you for that, that is one reason I do these videos; to get feedback as sometime what I think is right, may be wrong and vis-versa.

Sorry I should have specified. When you exit the second tunnel, the really weird left hander that leds onto the HUGE back straight, you have a man ont he outside who, i agree, does cut in a but but you don't hold your apex either. You are out of position, too tight on the inside due tot he previous carnage so you need to pinch tight on exit r you push out and hit the outside man as it turned out.

I don't get this. On that corner, Yes I am on the left but those on the right know that I am there as they just past me. I hit my brakes for the turn but I am hit my the 'stang before I even get to the apex. The 'stang I think turned too early, but perhaps their intent was to drift the corner, as looking at slow-mo, their front was pointing into the vegetation before the apex, so unless they drifted or adjusted, they weren't going to make it.
So I don't know how that could have played out differently at that corner. I had no room to move right before the turn, but I had the inside, albeit slower, turn into the corner. Should it not be the responsibility of those passing to not hit you at that point?
I had a similar situation in the tunnel at GVH1 where after penalty I was slower into the right hander with a faster car having caught me up. I was into the tunnel and turn before them, but they were carrying more speed. I was tight on the apex but they came in and we had side impact (minor). On that one, they then have the left hander of the chicane and I yielded the spot on that occasion. Now, in those situations where something has happened to cause you to slow up and you are off the racing line (but getting up to speed) and another car is on the racing line at speed, but their line if they proceed at their pace) collides with you at the apex of a turn, then what do you do?
I look at this as it is always the responsibility of the overtaking car to pass safety, even if that means that a potentially slower car gets in their way on an apex turn if the two paths intersect.

With the current Exhibition Series seasons of both the Nations Cup and Manufacturers Cup offering limited tuning, I wonder if it could become a standard feature in races B and C? I think it could certainly make things more balanced, without overwhelming players. In that case, I think I'd feel a lot more interested in branching out from Race A.

I thought of this too! One guy racing all out, three laps ahead as everyone else escorts each other through each turn, 10 meters apart from each other!

It's not like that at all - everyone just refuses to brake for the chicane on Lap 1!
In the races I've run today, I've started P1, 2 and 3, and ended up running at the back after the chicane in every race.....
Oh, also ended up with a C SR, as a result of being rammed into other cars 😕

I have driven 2 race A so far today. Both very entertaining and fun, very different outcome.
First, I went without qualifying, car dressed as Barry Sheen's black and red Suzuki.
I made it up a bit then made a few mistakes and fell down a bit again. Final lap was a fight for P8.
Here I cross the line as P8
Unfortunately I had a .5 penalty from Ascari and that turns into 1 second at the line so I was P9.
But the fight was fun, clean and exiting.
And since T1 was a very clean affair I thought "Hey, why not qualify?"
Well ..... The next story is image based. So I'll put it in Spoiler so you can choose to see or not.
Edit: Lets talk about the brakes. The brakes on this car is fantastic, but the suspension is so soft that if you just step on the brake the car either doesnt stop or uncontrolable turn direction.
But if you lift just before braking the suspension compress and you can brake properly.

this is a tale of anger and vengeance. And it happened right in front of me...
T1 wasn't as clean as the race before. I started as P5 but after T1 I was P11.
I am in the blue/white car on the grass to the left.
I was hit by a SA driver who was pushed into me by a UK driver. The whole field where subjected to the ping pong effect. Some drew conclusions that wasn't really correct.
I picked up the pieces and where P7 before Variante. Pushing on for a lap or so I find myself in P5 with a German driver ahead of me and a French driver right behind me.
And in the eyes of the French driver they had history from T1.....
Look at this
See how the wheels of the driver behind me points towards the center of the track?
He used the slip from me and hurled himself past me.
If you look at this photo you can see that I got spooked... or at least turned very cautious
Next image shows the contact between these two, look how the wheels on the french, red and white car turns into the German....
This made me brake early to survive.....
They both made it into T1 ahead of me, but in the wrong angle and speed so I passed both of them on exit.
Now I was a little nervous having them behind me coming up to the second chicane so I made a mistake and cut the curb on entry and got .5 in penalty.
So here I was, in P2 with those two right behind me and a 0.5 penalty so I thought "lets go flat out to see if I can keep the spot".
I hurled the car through Lesmo and drove through Ascari as a madman.
This is me and the frenchman after I served my penalt at the entry to Parabolica,,,,
And here we are at the exit....
Fortunately for me he ran wide....
So here is the finish line
Very exciting and very fun. Too bad about the guys fighting, but to me the spoils.....
And I changed my Greeting to "If you want to fight do it in the pit like a real man"

I've uploaded last weeks highlights, Grand Valley worked better for side by side racing than I expected, with the right players you could do the whole middle sector side by side.

The late night lobbies always feel so much better for me, [almost] everybody is friendly and the races seem so much more civil than the daytime ones where you have the time trialers at the front and then half of the grid going for 'last to first' at whatever cost.

Last to first needs to die as a concept. Name a real racer that preferred to go from last....
Generally I don't think I'm gonna race much this week. The choices seem geared to PSVR with undulating tracks with high feedback sensitivity or the visceral A race.
I don't mind these things although for some mental reason Interlagos and Catalunya especially with maggorie feel flogged to death at the moment for me.

A couple of things I would really like to see when it comes to the daily races:
Longer races with the slower cars. Race A often ends up being the most fun and produces some of the most interesting racing I've experienced in Sport mode so far. Even the likes of the Toyota SFR Racing Concept or the Miata Touring Car. The latter around Brands Hatch is great fun.
BoP really needs a proper looking at. I can understand its use some of the time, but often it just means that cars within classes are useless. Surely the point of having cars grouped is that they are inherently balanced and competitive against each other in the first place, so why "balance" it even more?
Races should run to a time limit, in a way. Not like endurance where its just a timer, but race A should be 10 minutes, B 20, C 30 and I'd love to see a Race D at 40 minutes with more thought put into minimising the time between races. Race A this week in the classic Honda F1 car is great fun, but I'm waiting 7 or 8 minutes between races.

yeah I've had similar thoughts myself.
Something like this:
1 tuner race to a PP target. I'm not sure I care whether or not this is race cars or street cars but probably street cars would be more fun and interesting.
One sprint type race, no longer than 5 laps, should never be a long circuit and time between races should be as quick as possible. This is where you grind out DR/SR/Cash/Whatever. Can be whatever group you want to put here as virtually all of them are fine if the circuit isn't trash. Regardless, this is your quickie jump into a race and go kinda thing. Should also be very short time elapsed between firing. 5 minutes tops
One longer race but doesn't necessarily need strategy, just something about 7-8 laps, less if at a longer circuit. Again group doesn't really matter here. Here's where you'd put your fuel saver if you wanted to have one.
And finally one proper long form strategy race with multiple compounds required and pit stops mandatory.
This last race should be min 10 laps unless at nurbs or le mans or spa, then 6 (or fewer at nurbs) would be fine, but still need to have mandatory strategy going on.
I think that would be a neat thing that could attract more people to more different types of racing.

Just some more creativity would be nice, say a 15 lap good wood <70s race with options for strat (big fuel burners) vs minis etc (not suggesting that combo)
Strat sprint races where the bop is tied to tire choice rather than flattening weight and horsepower.
Strat races where timing counts and compounds are closer together rather than the way they are fixed performance wise now.
There should be no fuel only strategy races, for a few reasons:
1: it favours a car and driving technique
2: they are dull and artificially force the fuel MFD interaction
3: it's just not a thing in the real world in the way they implement it in the game.
I also would love more road car races on more realistic tyres.....ah yes we all take our cossies out on period tires....
