EDIT: 👍👍 for the PSA!
Wow, insane time man! I'm 8 seconds behind you. So I doubt I'll be able to get that far, maybe a sub 2'05.000, but that's a big IF.I'm not really racing anymore but I am benchmarking. Don't look at the miles.

Nah. This timeline is crazy.
Well guys, I'm finally back to playing the game. It's been too long. I actually had some roulette tickets that almost expired. Oh the horrors!
I noticed that my Logitech G Pro wheel seems to give more feedback, but that could just be from me not remembering what it was like.
What's the state of the new physics, especially with respect to TM?
On a non-physics-related note, it looks like the wall/curb penalties seem to be relaxed at TM, like the last time we were here, which is awesome! No more penalties for looking at the curbs too closely. Right, @Chris30 ?
Anything else I should know?
And did I notice @Bullwinkle posted recently? That's a nice surprise.
Its nice to see somebody else driving a supercar, far too many accountants cars on that list 😉I'm not really racing anymore but I am benchmarking. Don't look at the miles.

Nah. This timeline is crazy.
I think I know what you mean and it's possible and faster. and it could be imaginery but if I adjust speed so I don't have to slam the stick to the rimA quick question for controller users, which is kinda off topic for the thread but I trust everyone here to give me good feedback...
Is it generally regarded that pushing the analogue stick 'all the way' is not the fastest way to drive? What I mean is, are there people out there who are achieving optimal steering angle without the support of the plastic rim?
Is the technique that nuanced or am I making things up in my head?
Has anyone else noticed a major differences in tires after the pitstop on race C? I can run mid 1:26's on my first stint and after the pitsop I can't stop understeering. I can barely hit high 1:27's.
I'm racing the 911.
You still think so, now that the Dailies started? I did some qualification laps there yesterday evening and had no issues. I would rather say that trial Mountain became a bit annoying after the "changes" . To be honest, up to now the changes seem to me like they put more understeer to the corners entrance and a bit more oversteer for the corners exit. overall i dont like it, but it is not annoyingIf anyone is planning on doing Mt Panorama this coming week then I would strongly suggest you get some practice in. Forget how it used to be, it's a whole new ball game now 🙈🙈
Edit: I have a lobby room set up. For Gr3 with BoP and x5 tyre wear. Only Hards and Mediums. Probably close to what we might get tomorrow maybe 🤷♂️🤷♂️
The Lamborghini is lots of fun at Bathurst, lovely car on pad with the new physics, I haven't won one yet but the car has it in it.
I have a couple of funny clips, the first was where somebodies car glitched on the grid, the leaders came round a lap later and assumed it would be ghosted:
This one a couple of us fell over each other at a part of track where its too tight to do a 3 point turn, far easier to carry on and sort it out where the track opens up:
It's a really nice car to drive once you get the hang of it (I'm still learning). It looks really good too against a grid of sales rep/accountants cars 👌I saw you with the Lambo in someone's livestream. Looked like a wild ride. I admired your ability to keep it on the track.😅
Next week's races are up on GTSH early...

Eiger (likely in Gr.B since there's tyre wear) + a dirt physics improvement showcase is kind of what I was expecting them to do this week, to be honest.
The World Series is running Honda RA272's at Eiger.
I had no problem doing c yesterday without a tire change. Given the sweaty factor this week in B, its probably prudent to take an early pit stop in c to avoid the mess and cruise through. Given, your pretty rapid, a few wins should blast you up pretty quickly.I'm back! Sort off....
I'm back to DR Dhaving started over, this time in VR. I'm sticking with the goal of my QT being solely on my own driving and no ghost cam rabbit to chase. Against beginners in E/D ranks that has put me on pole each race so far. My first two races at Tsukuba were a bit shaky but after finding the 8C horrible at first, I started to gel with it. Two races I finished first and the last race was in 2nd after a mishap first lap dropped me to 6th. It was fairly easy to climb back to 2nd even after pulling off to the side lap 6 to wait for 2nd place after accidentally punting him at the hairpin. The third race, crapped out with a session error which luckily did not affect me (I thought we were done with those sort of session errors...)
Driving in the lower ranks is a challenge. It's easy if out front but if you get in the fray it then becomes a lot more unpredictable.

The question now that I am DR D and points count, do I go for race B or C.....? 🤷♂️
Awesome, now I'm definitely gonna have to get geared up for next week, I'm sure the Eiger races will be a blast to do. I guess Suzuka will be okay, it's nothing new so I should be able to get some low solid lap times there.Next week's races are up on GTSH early...

Eiger (likely in Gr.B since there's tyre wear) + a dirt physics improvement showcase is kind of what I was expecting them to do this week, to be honest.
Agree. The best category to drive after the update.I hope B is Gr.2. I don't know if any of you have tried it yet but I think it might be the nicest car class in the game now.
Reduced downforce, increased mechanical grip. They feel incredible.
Wow...GT7 is the first time I've run Eiger'. As I was blasting around I thought it'd be a great place to race KARTS. Seriously, a grid of 'full size' vehicles blasting around that place seems a recipe for carnage. Just feels akin to Gr.1's on Tsubuka but, hey, could be neat.The World Series is running Honda RA272's at Eiger.
Sorry but I actually said that I love Bathurst.@appu You're preaching to the quire, I loathe Bathhurst
Stay away from the Lexus, it was my choice for this combo before the update and now in the mountain is a massive destruction weapon.The Bathurst race is brutal as always. Despite doing many races this morning, I am always terrified as soon as the downhill section starts. Love this track!
This race has been great in getting me used to the new physics. Folks around me have been respectful and careful, which is helping me even more in getting used to the new physics.
Does anyone has a recommendation for an easy car for Bathurst for me? Given:
1. The Porsche has been nicely stable for me at -5BB.
2. I can't get the rears of Alfa Romeo and Audi R8 to be stable, no matter what BB.
3. The McLaren is terribly understeery for me regardless of BB.
The Honda RA272 at Eiger Nordwand next week sounds potential fun! Gran Turismo's version of F1 at Monaco. Fingers crossed that it stays clean and is not a snoozefest.
