Next week's Dailies? Laguna twice?

Oef, have to say I don’t like the sound of gr4 mt panorama but I guess I’ll have to lump that 🤨

Unless race A is a nice peach of a combo like a Toyota Corolla or decent handling r32 etc road cars, that could be nice or the FTO Mitsubishi 😁

Mt panorama would have been great on gr3 cars for a week

Yeah so I’ve done 2 races now first was starting p3 and the second pole.

Both I finished last not because I binned it.

I’m genuinely getting tired of this now, the match making is all over the place. The penalty system is archaic at best and thirst is the aim not the racing for a lot of the players now. Not control, not finesse not quality the badges at the end.

It’s to the point my alt and US alts are higher than my main now yet still posting times and yet still getting hit.

7000 in now I’m getting quite bored with that behaviour now
 
Man, close racing at Sardegna A! I’m
my usual just sub-3 seconds off the fastest times, and I’m starting mid-pack or worse in B/S lobbies because I’m ~14,700th!

Sub 3 seconds usually puts me 3,000th-5,000th!

I’ve thought for a while now that the B/S lobbies are getting more competitive, but this is something else.

To be clear, I’m not complaining, just observing!

Edit just sweated a 5th after starting 8th. Good, close, racing.

I have to say I’ve struggled like hell regaining my SR this week, just back to low A, but I swear it’s just this high B low A DR crowd who are just super aggressive as f

I started racing early again this week and had some good racing against CS types and got a few wins, expected those early lobbies to have DR A but it was the other way,

What can I say, it’s great when it’s great buts terrible when it’s terrible 🤷‍♂️
 
My thoughts exactly. Have some time off work and was hoping to get some extra racing in but those are up there with my two least favorite tracks in the game. And doubling up on a track in the same weeks is lame. Unless it's Nord then it's fine. :dopey:

Here's to hoping the site is wrong but we'll see.
It seems like Digit have it wrong.
These guys posted the races for the following 3 weeks and for the next one we have
A > Laguna Seca
B > Bathurst
C > GVH reverse

 
Without being part of the twitteria. What are the next 3 weeks races if they are right?

Thanks!
Week 52
A > Laguna Seca (RS)
B > Bathurst (RH)
C > GVH reverse (RH)

Week 53
A > Brands Hatch Indy (CS)
B > Willow Springs big willow (RH)
C > Tokyo Expressway south counterclockwise (RH-RM)

Week 1
A > Kyoto Miyabi (SS)
B > Lago Maggiore reverse (RM)
C > Red bull Ring (RM-RS)

Phew and sigh at the same time.

Edit to clarify:

All of these races aren’t focusing on pace they are survivablilty races which is fine but they come with unintended consequences,

They are very much picked to polarise performance vs racing nuance

I don't mean to be a bore and go on about it, but I've been banned for 30 days for I-can-only-imagine-what, and meanwhile those thirsty, desperate types you refer to have been living their best Sport Mode life.

It's quite preposterous, really.

I’m defo out week 1, might have to buy project motor racing, see what’s going on there
 
Here's a tutorial for my best lap and tune so far for Race A where I'm currently the third fastest Ferrari in the world.

I'm only .006 off getting first for now so I will definitely try for the record but for now hopefully more people can beat the pay to win Mustangs.
 
Be careful mate because the reviews out there are not the best right now for PMR

They're not that bad now, and neither is the game. In fact it's good, a welcome change of scene for people into GT7, kinda like FH5 was, but in the opposite, more sim-like direction. And I say that as someone v critical of it at the start. I'm happy with it on pad, and on wheel I suspect I'd be happier.
GT7 was an absolute dog's dinner at launch too (no selling etc). Good driving games on console are needed, if only to spur competition. Best to give all a bit of slack at launch.

After I wrote that I saw your message which said ‘I’ll be doing the power pack DLC’ and thought, yeah I’ll probably be doing that too 😂

Still scarred by ACC on console, shocker! Anyway hopefully those other titles will improve with time and at least plat’able at some point, together with Rennsport

Im still reading complaints about PMR from streamers I respect, but they tend to agree than the product now is better than it was at launch.
I dont agree with your comparisson about how bad was GT7 at launch.
What it was really bad in GT7 launch was the economy of the game but technically it was almost flawless.

PMR resembles in some way to the scandal that we saw with Cyberpunk 2077 on its first days (wich now has turned in one of my favourites non racing games of all times).
If PMR learnt something from that case, maybe they can offer a polished game in some future and when that moment arrives I would gladly buy it.
 
Managed to get out of work a little earlier today so thought I’d choose the NSX for the weekend and get to work on my QT.

Managed to join the .41 club but only just AND somehow whilst only focusing on my SR this week, following 2 wins this afternoon in DR B/B rooms, I saw DR A/A there! 😁

So the weekend is now on consolidating that one!

Have a good weekend when you get there.

Don't want to derail the thread, but while I'd agree GT7 felt OK on pad from day one, and probably wheel too, it wasn't just the economy that was bad; and people do keep mentioning it as if it was the only flaw. It wasn't. The uproar was so bad we had the emergency update that added the four (in)famous grind races; nobody knows for sure whether we'd have them today if not for the ratings getting tanked back then. The lack of selling, for months. The crazy-easy cafe menus; many finished the 'game' within days. The famous tracks that went months (years?) with just a couple of curated races (Monza and Bathurst spring to mind, possibly La Sarthe too). So much has changed with the slow accumulation of new tracks and events (still, some big-name tracks lack events imo), Sophy and all the physics changes.
I'm just making the point that it wasn't only the (ridiculously) bad economy (which in one infamous early update they contrived to make even worse...) It was bad in many ways.

Personally, I would say you are in the daily race thread and the I’d agree with Child here that, online and physics wise, pure driving experience, nothing wrong with this one at launch, if you are talking single player grinding etc then you might have a point but I still don’t think we are in the same ball park as what I am reading about rennsport and pmr 😁

But I guess we all have our own experiences

I agree, but in the hope that GT8 doesn't launch with similar flaws it's important that we all remember it wasn't just 'the bad economy'. That lets PD off the hook for quite a number of other serious flaws and imo should be challenged whenever it's mentioned.
Anyway, back to daily races, which after a couple of days on the oval haven't been interesting enough for me to get motivated for this week. Been needing some kind of makeover/reset for some time now.
 
Man the game is doing it's best to make it difficult to get back into it after my surgery. The two new tracks are terrible chicane/understeery corner fests. Then the new TT is some devil's version of Barcelona with more Mickey Mouse than disneyland.

Can we get some flow please?

Not my week at all at Nurburgring, a track I usually do very well at.

I've only done 4 races this week resulting in 3 DFL and 1 second to DFL.

I have a decent enough qualy time of 9:02.xxx but the quality of "racing" of those behind me has left me facing the wrong way at least once in every attempt.

Might have another go over the weekend, but my DR and SR are both taking a bit of a beating.

The problem with some fast people racing from the back here is when they lose patience and feel entilted to push wide in sectors where is impossible to manage a clean pass.
And once you are pushed you can be sure that a train of cars will be passing you, not only the pusher.

Good to see you on track yesterday. I hope the races get better in the days to come.

I'm gettign there mate, didn't take enough meds the first day, that was a dumb move but otherwise ok. How bad was the yabbi dabbi TT, just AWFUL, what a god awful track, absolutley loveless, literally every corner is hateful, you never attack, you're always on the defensive. Canada is just a chicane fest, zero imagination. I don't even know what barcelona is, so much fiddle!

You missed a real peach of a week this week, Sardegna A got to be my favourite track in the game and combined with that new 296 and the NSX which I never drove before 👌

But judging by the weeks to come, you may get a little rest in 😁
