Oh shoot! I forgot to mention you! I can’t remember which race I saw you, but my night was all over the place! Hopefully I didn’t take you out . . .well, it was still good to see you in a race today! Sorry the races haven't worked out for you (yet). Also @Bullwinkle !
Keep it in the blue, my friend!I really needed a day like today. For the last three weeks, I have only seen that dang red arrow pointing down,down,down. It was getting old and depressing. I sorely need to turn that arrow blue for a few races at least.
Do any of you fast chaps have any tuning tips for setting up the Porsche Gr3 for Maggiore? I heard @Tidgney mention, in his Weekly Race Guide, reducing the Natural Frequency of the suspension to improve power transfer on exit, but I don't know if this change can be made in isolation or needs to be done in conjunction with other changes, the ARB's, dampers and diff. Are Praiano's tunes a good place to start?
Unfortunately I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to suspension. On my mountain bikes, the technician sets it up during service, and I just give it a squish and say "Hmm, feels nice". 😂
I’m not a “fast chap,” but I really like my tune for the 911. Here’s how I set it:If anyone has any tuning that I could to help my cars work better, please feel free to PM me or post it here. I'll have to buy my own as I cannot tune rented cars.
Slow down? Good grief man, you set a blinder!You people need to slow down...you're gonna get someone hurt. For instance, what about my poor bruised ego? Do you think of nothing but yourselves???🤣
I figure we should all be deep in the sixes by end of week at this rate.😁
I hate it when that happens! 😀Best part? I was so amped about my time, I forgot to screenshot my set-up.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My new QT now is 2'01.095, thanks to the Porsche RSR. There's a lot of bright smart and clever drivers out there, I'm hoping to get to your level soon.I figure we should all be deep in the sixes by end of week at this rate.😁
No matter what I've said historically, or what I will say moving forward, you all are the best motivators this game has had on offer yet. Sure, I may say horrible things you can't hear when you smash my times, but the love is still there.😇

The Mazda is the only Gr.4 car where I can't find a good setup that I like. I tried a lot and I feel like 5/60/5 understeers even more out of the corners. Is there something that makes it more driveable? Compared to Forza, I absolutely hate driving FF cars in GT7. It's the complete opposite for MR/RR cars. I hate them in Forza and love driving them in GT7.If you are using the mazda (which you should) then it's just diff tuning that smooths out some of the torque steer. So
5/60/5 but you have to hit the turn in points and be confident on the throttle.
I ended up doing 3 races on my euro account. They were all great races.
I started in second in each race because there was a super fast A+ driver in poll, so first was out of the question on every race. I came in fourth in the first race, second in the second race, and fifth in the third race.
The second race had the best finish because of the way it finished.

Yeah thanks, the Aston Martin brought me to a 2:01:xxx time but I still start last 😂 I may try that but even just manipulating the diff is just too much for my time windows. Choose your car that fits and drive. I mean, you have the more sim race in race C, why not just do tuning in race C?You don't have to tune to go fast mate. It will get you 3/10ths or a fraction more.

There is some really wanky stuff you can do on the brakes as well but that is a different topic.
Nope not me, must be an imposter 🤣Well if your progress is sorry, I don’t know what that says about me as I was watching you from behind the whole race! I didn’t spend much time qualifying and just jumped in cold. I was bummed I only saw you once. But I’ve worked on my quali time. You’ll see that I’m breathing down your neck for the time being. Maybe we’ll get paired again more often.
There was a player named @Roggers in a couple of races in North America. Was that our Roggers, or was it a coincidence?
Thanks @Bullwinkle, you're a gent. I'll give those a try, while trying to improve my QT at Maggiore.I’m not a “fast chap,” but I really like my tune for the 911. Here’s how I set it:
Roll bar 5/9
Comp 25/25
Exp 43/45
Nat 3.20/3.00
LSD 15/50/20
This is all good for me, so ymmv. But in general the go-to move is to lower Nat Freq very low, lower compression and raise expansion.
Welcome @Interemptor. 👍This is my first post here (Hello 👋) and I'm sorry if it has been discussed but is it intented, that the Mazda3 in Gr4 is so fast? I'm pretty new to GT7 and not a good driver (I play with controller and jump between C & B driver rating) but with every car I tried in Gr4 I'm at least .5s slower on the Red Bull Ring then with the Mazda3. With some cars even 1s or more (no tuning because I can't tune 🙈)
Last week on Spa I was really close with a couple of cars but this week the Mazda seems impossible to beat. or at least with my driving skill.
My first daily on this track so spent quite some time learning the corners and track limits. I thought I did an Okay QT (1:56.683) in the McLaren, until I joined my 1st race and got gridded 14th! (A/A+ lobby)
Anyways here is the QT lap, setup is in description if you want to give it a go.
Did like 6 races today and I don’t think I finished any of those better than 8th (Mostly >12th), including the one where I spectacularly binned it in front of @jenson86 !
GTR and the Merc are the go-to in the lobbies I was in.
I have not tried this but this is DigitGaming’s tune.Is it just me or do people have more problems with the Red Bull Ring?

Ok thats good to knowWelcome @Interemptor. 👍
Unfortunately this is an issue with how the ‘Balance’ of Performance is calculated, to ensure fair/close racing between different vehicles in the same category. Sadly the BoP applied to the Mazda 3 Gr4 is flawed. Everyone knows this, with the exception of Polyphony Digital, it seems. Hopefully it will be addressed in the next update. 🙏🙏🙏
In the meantime, the best thing you can do is race hard in your preferred car of choice, and feel extra pleased if/when you finish ahead of a Mazda. 😁
Not... really, no. The issue is with Gr.4 BOP generally and the tracks selected for the races, not necessarily with the Mazda 3 specifically even if the outcome makes it look that way.Sadly the BoP applied to the Mazda 3 Gr4 is flawed.

You are quite right, certain courses will suit certain cars better, as you would expect. However, if the BoP was as equalising as it should be, to provide balance, almost every track should have a different car that is best suited under BoP regulations. The fact that the Mazda is at or near the top for so many tracks on the Daily Race rotation, would indicate that it's deviation from standard is outside the curve and requires modification, if the purpose of BoP is to achieve an even playing field.Not... really, no. The issue is with Gr.4 BOP generally and the tracks selected for the races, not necessarily with the Mazda 3 specifically even if the outcome makes it look that way.
Nobody's entirely sure how PD calculates BOP - it could be generated either from a single test circuit or an aggregate of several (maybe even all), and it could be a selection of human drivers or AI bots that lap the courses - but the result is a single set of power/weight figures for all tracks and it ought to be readily apparent that this will favour certain cars at certain tracks.
If those tracks are selected for scheduled multiplayer races more often, those certain cars will be at the top of the timing sheets more often too, and it just so happens that the Mazda 3 is the best choice at tracks with the characteristics we see most often in Daily Races (those that wouldn't look out of place hosting GT3 events).
Get some tight, twisty courses where the FWD is an issue, or longer straights where power cars can stretch their legs, and you'll see other cars ranking better.
Of course it could also be the case that the new car from the series sponsor is deliberately favoured, but then it's immaterial to the GT World Series as the GT1 players who qualify the brands for the events never drive the Gr.4 cars, so that doesn't make a lot of sense...
As BOP doesn't appear to take tyre wear into account, the Mazda 3 is front-wheel drive and naturally worse with tyre wear, and GTWS races see higher tyre wear, it wouldn't be a great choice for the flagship series in any case.
He was running the GT-R.That guy on pole was on pole in all of my races on Monday evening too. He was running the m6 on Monday but not sure if he stuck with it or changed it up.
Again, not really, no. PD's BOP just provides a single set of figures for all cars, and if the race selections are at broadly similar tracks - which they usually are - the same few cars will pop up as being the strongest regularly.However, if the BoP was as equalising as it should be, to provide balance, almost every track should have a different car that is best suited under BoP regulations. The fact that the Mazda is at or near the top for so many tracks on the Daily Race rotation, would indicate that it's deviation from standard is outside the curve and requires modification, if the purpose of BoP is to achieve an even playing field.
The key thing is to getting on a car that works with your driving style. The AMG can be a bit unforgiving; for example, it is one of the few cars I drive with counter-steer on and it can suffer from snap oversteer. The GT-R I've usually considered to be an advanced car as well. In most cases for the beginner I would recommend the 911RSR. That car does well well at Lago Maggiore as well. The one consideration is that it can get easily out of wack at the hairpin (turn 11). You need to be careful at that spot.I need to pull a Godzilla myself and grab some wins for once, I'm getting impatient some, I know it will take time for my driving skills to go up gradually but durn...
@TheNormsk should I try the GT-R? The tune for the AMG '20 car did not work so I sold my car so I could buy another brand.
