GT7 Daily Race Discussion

I "assume" you're always using the cockpit camera. Is it possible to use the bumper camera also in VR? I'm way more precise driving with that view.

It will takesome adjustment and I was slower at first, but now I am consistently as fast or faster than I was in bumper cam. I've had my VR since July and it has been a journey. What worked for me was starting a dedicated VR account and starting GT7 all over again. That way you get to learn it as you progress again. You also have a lot of fun exploring all the boring cars you never drive anymore but are actually fun in cockpit.

You will also find that your favorite cars will change. Some are definitely better in VR over others as others have mentioned. Surprisingly, two cars I never much liked before, such as the Supra and Huracàn are now some of my favorites and others have been relegated to the back of the pack.

If you don't have VR but are curious, I would highly recommend it. Recognize that you would probably be starting all over again and relearning how to drive. But if, like me, you had pretty much completed everything in a prior account and GT7 was getting stale, then it is (pun intended) game changing.

Me, personally, I could never go back to flat screen driving now. VR is what I never knew I needed. It's awesome.

That seems like the biggest reason for me apart from immersion.

I genuinely think people need to drive the cars they are fastest in.

Leader board and lobbies full of Lambos

I just don't understand, the Lambo is fast out of corners and mid range but everywhere else it's deficient 🤷‍♂️

I will attest that the TT is a competitive car. I have not driven it but in two races I had it started behind me and finished in front of me.

I don't particularly like the NSX but I feel I should try the TT but I've gotten very used to the Huracàn now so I'm comfortable with it. Then again, I've yet to do a race as a newly minted DR A, so I'll probably be crushed next race...

On the straight, it's also faster than my Scirocco.

Or my hairpin exit sucks.

I keep going backwards in the NSX at the start (I'm generally starting 10th-12th) then generally pick up a few places due crashes - could do with an extra couple of laps on B (as always). NSX runners out the front have won a few that I've been in, but I'd need to get to 1:39.1** to be on the first couple of rows

I prefer the reverse version of this circuit - the chicane is a bit easier (I think) though it's been a while since it was used on a Daily - unless I've been on hols and missed it

I am not missing this opportunity

The TT is an excellent car
