GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[Pagey279]

Does anyone else think that Daily Race B's Interlagos is especially slippery? I mean, I know the tires are cold and the cars weigh more because of a full tank, but I'm having a heck of a time getting used to the sliding. In the two races I've done today, I slid right out of T1, and I'm running full assists. I'm using the RX Vision, which isn't glued to the track at the best of times, but this seems especially bad.

I'm going to try some other cars, but I'd like to know if anyone else has noticed this, or if I've just forgotten what an actual race feels like, since I've been running so many Q laps.

Late to the party on this one but I've tried a few cars on Interlagos and the RX-Vision has the least grip by far. Strange considering at Grand Valley on RH it was a really viable option, but there's a lot of kerb riding here which it really doesn't like. It was around 1-2 seconds per lap slower than a competitive time I found.

Huracan, fastest car if you can tame it. As others have said it has so much front end it's a bit too wild and unpredictable in a race, particularly on the slower corners.
Mclaren 650, really quick in the mid section but deathly slow on the straights. It will lose maybe 0.5 seconds on the run to the first corner to others, you will be a sitting duck on most straights.
Jaaaaaag F-Type, cannot describe how underated this car is. Pulls like an absolute train, quite a planted rear end, good in the slower corners, a bit short on overall downforce in the faster stuff but that could be down to how much straight line speed it has. By far my favourite GR3.
Porsche 911, quick, predictable, planted etc very safe choice.
Nissan GT-R, seen this in a few races and always seems competitive. Not the fastest but not the slowest, bit too tail happy for me.

Tried a few others but the above stand out really, all I can set competitive 1:32s. The Jag I have gotten down to a mid-high 1:31 in quali, consistent low 1:32s in a race

For the life of me, every single time, I forget how to post a replay. I have one saved in the GT7 gallery, but how to I send it to YouTube? I’ve done it before, but it’s so mind-numbingly unintuitive that I can’t remember. Can someone help?

You should be able to share/export the video from Showcase to the saved photos/clips app on the PS home screen, then upload it from there to Youtube. The exact process may differ depending on your system (PS4 or PS5).

If your YouTube account is not linked to your PlayStation account, you can transfer it onto a USB flash drive from the console's Capture Gallery (once exported from GT7) and shove that into your PC.

 

[NevilleNobody]

Race A continues to be quite good fun if you can get through T1 unscathed. Unfortunately the only way I can drive this thing is with CSA on STRONG so my straight line speed is ABYSMAL. Pretty respectful racing once we get to lap 2.

@GrumpyOldMan did this great one

Thanks everyone. I realized I was trying to export the replay, which isn’t available. If I remember correctly I need to play the replay from a particular point of view and record it before I export it. I’ll work on it a bit later, but thanks for the hints.

Why would CSA effect top speed?

Yes, the replay file is just a telemetry file which allows GT7 to reconstruct the replay, rather than a video. You'll need to use the console's Share (PS4) or Create (PS5) features to record video from the replay.

Interesting that it affects straightline speed, but why do you need the CSA with this car, if you don't mind me asking? 🤔 I notice RA272 only really starts to oversteer big time, if it carries slightly too much speed into corners, and that means you probably brake too late for a corner, so you are not at a low enough speed. Which means when you turn the car in, it starts to slide a lot. You can still save it by stopping turning in as soon as you notice a hint of a slide, but then ofc you risk going slightly off the track.

I sometimes do that into the exit of Ascari, but there you get away with it when you just continue to the asphalt run-off area and carry all the speed, and game won't give a track limit penalty either. I'd maybe advice to get consistent with the braking points, to avoid big slides, but yeah overall this car likes to move around a bit anyways, so just got to get used to it I think. And be precise when you come out of the brakes.

I need to try to get enough time this evening to give Race A a try in VR. Everyone saying it’s fun and also awesome in VR.

Only had time for 2 Race B’s last night. Mid pack smash fest yielded a P12 finish in pancake mode and then managed a P5 finish in VR with some excellent racing. I’m starting to lean towards using VR over 2D now.

 

[nukewells_OG]

The McLaren is rock solid in Race B for anyone struggling with the stability of some of the other cars. I have a low 1:32 in it, been running mid pack in A/A+ lobbies.

I've been working with Daily Race data, and I thought it might be interesting to see what tracks have been used in daily races since GT7 started doing them.

A few points:

• I can't guarantee that I parsed everything correctly.
• Missing Categories means those races used specific cars.
• The Tires might be missing a few things. They're definitely missing "Intermediate" and "Wet".
• I only have data for the tracks that have been used. I'd love to have unused tracks also, but that requires more work than I wanted to do.
• I've attached a CSV file with the same data. Technically it's a TSV, since it's tab-delimited (as opposed to comma-delimited).

Let me know if you have questions, or you spot something that looks questionable. By the way, if you want to know how to format tables like this for this forum, you can find the info here.

Why would CSA effect top speed?

Because it cuts power any time it senses the car is even slightly twitchy. Biggest issue is Parabolica, I will exit FASTER than others but by the time i get to the start/finish they are pulling away, even with a tow. I also suffer exiting the last chicane, i seem to get a great run then nope, I lose ground. On the flip side, I am absolutely gobbling people up through and out of the second chicane and Lesmo 2.

Go to 7 min 30 Sec, I clearly get on the gas considerably earlier on the exit of Parabolica, i get ahead and he clean passes me by the start/finish, no tow.

Interesting that it affects straightline speed, but why do you need the CSA with this car, if you don't mind me asking? 🤔 I notice RA272 only really starts to oversteer big time, if it carries slightly too much speed into corners, and that means you probably brake too late for a corner, so you are not at a low enough speed. Which means when you turn the car in, it starts to slide a lot. You can still save it by stopping turning in as soon as you notice a hint of a slide, but then ofc you risk going slightly off the track.

Braking. I can't stop the rears locking up (using box button) so this keeps it from swapping ends. My overall pace seems OK, running 57's in race with no tow, it's just making passing difficult.

 

[CMB350]

I've been working with Daily Race data, and I thought it might be interesting to see what tracks have been used in daily races since GT7 started doing them.

There’s a google doc from member Hasnain282 with the daily race info for each week

 

[TheOneDonJuan]

I've had success with the AMG in QT for Interlagos. It's the right amount of squirrely for my liking. The Mustang is faster IMO but super hard to control and you have to get the shifts between 2nd and 3rd right especially the turn after the long straight. 911 is almost too planted through turn 1 for me, I struggle with rotating it and getting it pointed in the right direction and then it just loses the HP wars during the straight.

 

[sturk0167]

Why would CSA effect top speed?

Interesting that it affects straightline speed, but why do you need the CSA with this car, if you don't mind me asking?

CSA (Counter-Steering Assistance) has zero effect on speed or the power output of the engine.
Neville probably meant ASM (Active Stability Management), which will definitely cut power when front or rear tires lose grip.

Go to 7 min 30 Sec, I clearly get on the gas considerably earlier on the exit of Parabolica, i get ahead and he clean passes me by the start/finish, no tow.

It looks like he may have pulled ahead by maxing out his rpms. If you're using A/T, or just shifting sooner than the other driver, that could be the difference.

 

[NevilleNobody]

Hmmmmmm. No i meant CSA, I usually run it weak but use it strong for this car which is very intrusive. You may be right about AT but with CSA on weak (where it is VERY subtle) I don't notice the loss of power.

I wasn't actually worried about you - I was worried it could start rumors!

I have a similar number of total races as you and.... 11 victories! Likely because I am nearly always in B/A/A+ lobbies and it seems like it has been that way forever. Not complaining, I enjoy the journey.

This might be devisive. Although you weren't too far back I would class your move almost as a dive bomb, using contact to force your car through where it doesn't really fit. Looks like you were trying to be clean though it just didn't come off.

I find moves like that only come off if you are alongside going into the corner, or if you out brake someone in the braking zone. Anything else will just end up in contact.

After that he must have seen the red mist and went way too OTT with it. It is really hard to deal with on this track, most people know what they are doing, launch it up the inside and hit you with a "nah your fault bro you turned in on me" excuse.

For me it's always down to Q times and where I get seeded. The only way I come from behind to win is if the earth swallows up the people in front of me. Or more likely, they take each other out. "Overtaking" is not one of my strong points. I'm not even sure it's on my list of points at all!

I'm totally stealing this phrase - it's perfect for how it feels when I get ticked and the blood rushes to my head.

Maybe I need to hire you to do some quali laps for me. I can pass a fair few people in the races, but doesn’t mean much when I’m starting on the back row.

Red Mist explanation by Ross Bentley

 

[nicoatencio97]

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: Welcome to the Autodrome​

This week’s new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races is now available and brought to you by the letter “A”, as we visit three circuits all beginning with “Autodrome”...

Why is the porsche rsr so op in this race?

 

[newmedia_dev]

The key here, or one of the keys anyway is respect. If you're starting at the back you need to accommodate for slower drivers and the unpredictable moves they might make. Always good to apologise when you make mistakes too.

Such good words and sentiment and should be followed.

In the real world we call it "maturity and decorum"

It’s a real thing in track driving.

Red Mist explanation by Ross Bentley

It's started wars since we started keeping count. Hardly a new phrase!

 

[TechnoIsLove]

So far, managed a 1:32:0 on main account at Interlagos and always starting around P12 or P14. Wanted some better prospects so hopped into second account, did a 1:32:2 and was good for a P3 start (?!)

Kept it clean turn 1 and slowed down a lot to avoid contact as front 2 went crawling through chicane. Coming to turn 4 at the end of sector 1 and I get rammed from behind on purpose after slowing down again... Sent across the track limits, with damage and a complimentary half second penalty. Down to 5th... He gets nothing!

Serve penalty at the start of sector 3 and down to 9th with 5 laps remaining. I kept as cool as I could and finished P4 right behind the 2 in front, with the same guy side swiping P4 all throughout the final straight trying to keep P3 for the finish...

 

[newmedia_dev]

I said I wasn't going to but I went did a lot of C qualifying laps, I definitely for my ability can't do any more than a 2:04:6 maybe a tenth of that but that is it; it's really diminishing returns for me now.

That said it's a good time but the problem I have is that I refuse to do fuel saving so I race it. Sometimes that works others it doesn't but this is definitely a week I feel less engaged in any of the races.

Edit: spelling

 

[NevilleNobody]

Just jumped on for one quick race and won in Race A. I was punted into narnia twice but nevermind, everyone else was punted three times.

Bedlam.

 

[GTWolverine]

Hmmmmmm. No i meant CSA, I usually run it weak but use it strong for this car which is very intrusive. You may be right about AT but with CSA on weak (where it is VERY subtle) I don't notice the loss of power.

The extra few hundred RPMs makes a big difference in these cars. I can pull away from people that are slipstreaming me so close they're almost bump-drafting me, just by holding gears for a bit longer. Also, in that replay, it sounds like you're on the throttle at about the same time and never were ahead at any point (at least from their POV).

 

[RacingGrandpa]

Still enjoying A immensely

 

[KPL_HeartStop]

Yeah, that might be it. I haven't tried out the Huracan before on Interlagos, but i noticed that most people picked that car for their QT time. I will try it out tonight if I get the chance.

What I like is finding a car that is not in the top 100 list that I do well with in my QT times, then seeing it later in the top 100 times proving that sometimes I do know what I am doing
