GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[appu]

Twice now I've stuck Inters on as the weather map in the warm-up was moving into a big rain storm, then the race starts and the clouds are magically moving in the other direction.

I bet it is not the case. The clouds move very slowly so it is easy to misinterpret its movement, especially during warm up when you are pressed for time. Since update 1.33, weather in warm up and in race have been in good sync. I haven't seen it changed in update 1.34 either.

In another topic, folks who said that this week's Goodwood race was a good one, were indeed right. I started it for first time yesterday. It is relaxing and yet competitive. Pretty clean races as well. Watched @sturk0167 win every time from pole.

I still really like the Nurburgring 24hr this week but I am not really good there so it has tanked my DR from ~67% B to ~40% B. Not that I mind it.

Really curious to see what are races next week. Excited to see possibilities.

It was nice to see a GTP friend on the track.
It's one of the best race A combos so far in GT7. Another lap would be nice, though.
One of the biggest reasons it's a good combo is because they picked the perfect tires. Any more grip, and it just would not be as fun as it is. 👍

Why does the weather suddenly change between the warm-up and the race start in Race C?

Twice now I've stuck Inters on as the weather map in the warm-up was moving into a big rain storm, then the race starts and the clouds are magically moving in the other direction.

Yet to try Race C, but I'd argue only start on inters, if the track surface is at least 1/3 of the full bar wet in practice, and even then you need to check if the rain seems to keep going more wet from weather radar. 🤔 But ofc one can always gamble and hope for the best 😄

I see you're spitting the dummy out on Twitter and not wanting to provide early info on daily races anymore. I'll ask what some people on Twitter have been asking... Can you at least tell us how you get the info?

Yep, log on to GT7 when the events refresh and see what they are 👍

Only had time for one race today as have something in the outdoors soon 🤣

Since getting back my A DR, I'm always at the ass-end of the pack but it keeps delivering fun racing!

Started dead last but with the exception of an uneventful first lap, the race was great! Lots of close battles, clean racing (aside from one guy who pushed-to-pass, but he got a Karma KO a lap later) and a scary lag-spike on the final lap which caught me off guard and nearly binned it 😅

Managed to keep the car on track and finished P12 so quite happy 😁 Have a great weekend everyone!

I've done beat the meta this week at Deep Forest (Not a chance I'm racing the N24 haha!). A lot of people requested the Viper so I did the Viper, certainly an interesting car to drive! There's also a VERY dodgy penalty in this one!

 

[Rossell2]

I'm sure someone has already shouted this out because I'm late to this week's dailies. The Scirocco on B is very quick if you know how to drive it. Those Medium tyres help a lot.

Edit: seemed to get involved in a lot of incidents this evening. Some my fault, some not.

 

[OJBrit]

Has the physics changed with the update? Just did 2 races at the Nurb and it was awful. Understeer into corners, oversteer out of corners. Car snapping randomly even in places it's never snapped before. just undrivable!

How do you check your driver rating percentage?

How do you check your driver rating percentage?

I do that by very closely watching and roughly counting the pixels on my 65 inch tv.

Variety enjoyers are eating well next week. Like they heard my prayers (rants) about road car races.
Get in there. What a week.

Hate Monza with no chicane but Race C looks promising!

 

[appu]

Interesting. Race A and B feel exchanged!

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

I'm a bit worried that Super GT has enough ammo to make me look like a right amateur after last night 😂

You pop up in most of the top split streams enough for people to know that you're not. And nice to see you repping the Grello livery after the N24 week.

 

[Talon16]

Is race B some sort of joke?

Race C looks like it could've been fun but likely just a RH no strat... again.

 

[Raven-Sport]

3 wide in the Alphard at the temple of speed, okaayyy... I loved the old GT sport days with random cars in race A when it was ranked, but I'd prefer Renault Clio's to that.. Why not put the Maverick or one of the other SEMA cars in a one make? That would be cool.

Love Grand Valley but bit bored of Gr.4 cars.

Will keep an open mind though. When I'm looking forward to a combo I'm usually dissapointed, and when I'm not interested initially I can sometimes be suprised.

What... the actual... [expletive]???? Monza in a 4wd Van? On Sports Hard tires? Are we auditioning for stunt drivers in some heist movie? Is Don Cheadle working on a new EMP device?

Looks like it's a week getting caught up on Zelda TotK.

 

[cyirush]

Thanks to Nenkai for getting the info. But wish we had Kudos for GT7 with all the info - races, lap times by region - like we did with GTS.

 

[Redneckchef]

This next week will be Gold. And for those dreading the Alphard, give it a go. Been running it in lots of lobbies for different tracks and it's really a lot of fun. Remember, GLHF!!!!

And race A will still be loaded because of the "only race cars are worth driving" crowd. More fun for me in race B and possibly some C.

You know, I am actually kinda glad. I've been spending so much time on the N24 track at this week's C the chores have been stacking up.

 

[Nebuc72]

I'm not seeing enough Alphard love in this thread.
Embrace the van and it shall carry you (and your family, very convenient and spacious!) to many victories.

 

[Hodd10]

Very much looking forward to van racing. Makes a pleasant change from Gr4 and Gr3 machines. I've never spent time in Daily A due to no real sense of achievement or goal so something crazy in B or C is most welcome.

 

[Talon16]

Daily B, Monza, no chicane, let's use the.............

....na, minivan!!!!

 

[Michelin Man]

Race B next week looks like a right laugh, definitely up for that. Even more so that they've decided to go with something wacky like the Alphard. Good to see PD giving road cars some love outside of Race A 👍.

And as others have mentioned, the Alphard is a lot of fun to drive, and some great racing can be had with it. Something I can attest to from lobby races.

 

[newmedia_dev]

I think they did it to let A only Racers have a proper race setup rather than just cars/tuning on Comfort Hards

That said monza is great, I'm just not sure where the bus stops are to pick up the passengers in the Alphard....

 

[GrumpyOldMan]

OK guys, I'm definitely willing to give the van a try. Y'all are making it sound like it might not be horrible.

 

[TechnoIsLove]

I set them up as close to Medium BoP as I could. Just 3 laps each as been a busy day but it could be the end of the Silvia dominance for a while..

Unless of course, they change something for Race C next week 🤣

 

[Talon16]

Everyone else thing Daily A next week with be an 18 GTR fest?

Don't get me started. I've been experimenting for Race B and as far as I can tell everyone's going to be in the Alphard. Ridiculous BoP.
