Because you can, surely?
And now for something completely different....
If you need a slower ghost I shared one in game for C,
1:39.9 in the Mustang.

tbh it absolutely was designed for small, narrow, and nimble cars.

One thing I liked about Project Cars was the plethora of UK tracks and you could take some cool cars around them. I like Oulton park for example, good fun in the right car. It'd be fun in the Honda F1 car actually.

I would love to see Oulton Park, Donington Park, Snetterton, Knockhill, Anglesey.
Preferably before Silverstone

Knockhill is a bit gimmicky but yeah, depends on the cars.

I did some races last week and made a video, lots of contact in the forest, a lot probably my fault but here's the highlights anyway:

I saw that you featured fairly heavily in Super GT's video on the worse hairpin. 👍

I kind of agree with you on that. I avoided C all week and I couldn't get a hang of it initially and then it finally clicked over the weekend. Only did 5 races but in the end I liked the hairpin and it was kind to me. In each case I avoided chaos and threaded my way to position gains.

How were you able to keep that 911 stable through the hairpin? I only had success with the Jag, AMG and Viper. Couldnt do the GT or 911 there.

It's a nice corner when you get used to it and work out the line, it seems like the best line is different depending on what you're driving which makes the races quite interesting.
I had to take a really wide entry so the car was straighter when I was getting on the power, otherwise if I tried the racing line it would snap into oversteer mid corner, keeping some power on all the way round (about 20%) helps keep it balanced too, the same as going down the hill at Bathurst.

Same here. I always loved the TOCA game on PS1 (I think?).🍻

Reminds me of any slight incline in the UK when 1mm of snow drops from the sky.
Mine wouldn't be a rental but would have stock livery. I wouldn't want to ruin a classic.
Nope, one of my favourite tracks in game.
With the way you overtake I find that hard to believe.

TOCA 2? so many great memories, in my mind the first realistic racing game. Loved the one lap qualifying and then the race in those cool cars!! Can still remember the code to enter if you did not want to get a minimum result to progress in the season; "bigley"
And so much fun grinding tracks like Silverstone, Thruxton and Donington.
Thanks for reminding me of those fun times!!
add.: For some odd reason for me the second part of many game series were the best ones and i have the best memories of:
Resident Evil 2, TOCA 2, CMR 2, Parasite Eve 2, GT2.....

I’m also of the same mind as you regarding the Game.
PD decided to base all their Menu AI races on the “chase the rabbit” principle. I feel that this has contributed greatly to the “out of my way!” mindset that is all too evident in Sports mode these days.
I came from GTS and everyone had such high hopes that the Sport Mode in GT7 would greatly improve the quality of online racing. How wrong we were.
Anecdotal and video evidence in these forums and beyond only serve to confirm the loutish behaviour at all levels. It is so commonplace that even folks not so naturally inclined feel like they also need to be overly aggressive simply to survive.
It’s now Monday evening. I have done one Race B and one Race C and am done for the week. Change of track,cars…same mentality.
This, sadly, is no longer fun. It’s an ordeal.
PD need to get this sorted. I didn’t go to Sport mode because I thought I would like to lose my temper, become angry, violated, cheated upon and as many other negative emotions you can think of.
Rant over. I’m done.

Ran a dozen or so laps at Brands, seems to me it's the TT and swift, everyone else can go home. Ran a 30.1 in the TT, if I get it all together I maybe able to run a 29.7 I think The swift is about a half second slower, maybe a touch less.

Track temps. I know this is a thing in the game but what I’d like to see is the temps to be different in each lobby you join. Once you pick your car and know what strategy is OP, you then stick to that strat, and maybe just changing it by 1 lap to maybe do an overcut/undercut. If the track had dynamic temps that alters the characteristic of how those tyres degrade it could force you into an earlier stop or later stop depending on how those tyres react. As for DFR last week I agree that was one of the best tyre strat races we’ve had due to the wide selection of cars.
As for dynamic time yeah that fair, it has been used but I don’t think it’s been utilised properly really.
Fuel strat, fair enough. I think I’d just like to see more fuel wear, which forces everyone to pit. I think the biggest factor in these fuel races though is the long pit stops.
As for tyres too predictable, what I’m tying to get at is that they is a clear pace difference between RH, RM & RS. Now I agree they should be a pace differenc, but imagine a race were all 3 compounds have a very similar pace. It would open up the strategy and racing so much. Let’s say a 15 lap race with RS & RM as mandatory tyres. The pace between the two tyres is what 0.200-0.400 seconds. If your in a battle both on soft tyres and the car ahead pits on lap 3, do you cover off the pit stop next lap or do you do 3/4/5 extra laps and hope to overcut them?
Jumped on TimeTrial at Deep Forest Reverse - BOP is off by the way. AMG Gr3. Conditions all the same, with wind speed & track temp and these are my times. Now a better player will probs get closer lap times I think. I did 7 laps and only counted the 5 fastest laps in the average time.
Soft - 1.23.790 — Average 1.23.971
Mediums - 1.24.536 — Average 1.24.762
Hards - 1.25.869 — Average 1.26.098
Is the tyre gap too big? Soft-Meds 0.800. Meds-Hards 1.400, Soft-Hards 2.100

That is some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen! It's like a bunch of crabs in a bucket all holding each other back! You almost didn't make the second lap because there was too much traffic! Thanks for sharing that hilarious video!
The problem is, once the single player content is over, it's over except for a couple new things each month. There's no way to build a playerbase that way. So it seems like they'd absolutely want to build more interesting weekly races to keep more people coming back. Except they're doing just the opposite! I can't figure out their strategy other than that they just mailed it in for GT7 and are already working on 8.
Absolutely! I see this behavior being reinforced in many races. I admit to using these same tactics in single player mode, and it was hard to get used to driving with actual people online. But I learned. I feel like they ought to A) have a penalty system in the single player content to teach what's expected, and B) actually decide on and actually use a penalty system in the daily races to weed out this behavior.
C'mon: it's human nature. You put two guys on riding lawnmowers and they're immediately going to start racing each other. We used to have Skil saw races when I worked construction: you lock on the saws' power switches, line them up, and then plug them in at the same time to see who'd go fastest. People race turtles at the fair. It's just a sickness. A wonderful, wonderful sickness!
