GT7 Daily Race Discussion

A is good fun, as virtually anything Nord is. The cars drive so well... they stick to the track but if you push too hard they'll bite ya... just as it should be.

I've only done a few. Really like the Vette... even though it isn't as competitive it's just a fun drive around the track. In the handfull of races I've been in there've been multiple makes which is cool.

I do wish we could use our own cars and just have the tuning automatically applied, like how we can in the TTs; it would help break up the monotony of them all the makes looking the same.

Guesses:

A: Gr3
B: Gr2
C: Gr4

I'll go with:

• A: How cool would the DTM's be??
• B: Gr.1
• C: Gr.3

Had some great races at the 'Ring last night but still haven't nabbed a win. Had a P2, a pair of P3 and an especially inept P9 finish on the evening. I really need to spend some time in Race B before it's gone.🤣

I was just going to fall to the back and take a slowish cruise around the Ring. I have no interest in trying hard. Unless it's such a bad idea I'll reconsider.

It took me 14 races, 13 with SR increases, to get my SR from low A back to full S.

There isn't much SR on offer at the Ring this week.

I'm really perplexed this week... Usually, I get a feeling of yeah, top times are doing something better than me. If it's braking smoother, better cornering exit speeds, etc. I do feel (most times) that not having a load cell on the DD Pro costs me some time but this week, it's something different. Something which I honestly cannot comprehend (Gr3 Race B).

It the change of direction the faster times manage! Not talking about handling/ controlling the car when turning. I am talking about the actual turning i.e. going from straight to full left or right turn or else from side to side.

I tried a million settings but even at much lower speeds, the car just doesn't change direction as quick. I watched so many replays and yes, there is a bit of a difference in skill (obviously) but I lose the ghosts only when it comes to shifting the way the car should point...

Am I missing something here? Anyone else feels the same or noticed it? Or better yet, solve it! 😂 🤪

@TechnoIsLove you can make all the excuses you want but me and you are using the same kit. Get better bro...jks ❤️

Ah, I see. I won't waste my time then.

Honestly, it's about smoothness now. I have a loadcell and that is easier to modulate a bit more but not by much.

I'm only top 800 and 900 on UK/US so no where near the aliens. For me this week it's about smoother earlier braking and trading steering angle for throttle and brake.

I'll be 1.49 tomorrow as that's where my optimums are but genuinely it's about picking them moments to feed off the brakes and FEED the power in. Sector 3 is by far the biggest time killer so don't over push there.

My biggest loss of momentum is the first chicane on Turn 1 and the exit of the tunnel at the start of Sector 2, onto the long straight. I lose a second in those 2 corners, the rest I keep to within a few tenths from the mid-400 rank times :/

T1 is just flow and throttle timing. I have seen a lot of people over slow for it and I understand why, it's a fine line between cutting it. The most important part is balancing it on the crest to control the car for the left. You know this but saying for other readers. Lift of slightly and let the car balance and then depending on your line pin it or feather or like me catch the slide.

The turn in to the tunnel I have no idea how to be consistent, or what gear is! Second seems the fastest, 3rd my best times 🤷‍♂️

Different topic:

Using my main account today with ZERO races on it today FULL SR and DR A by just under a quarter.

Do a race. Start P2, a bit of lag and a bit of me throwing it off ON MY OWN, and then crashed for a second time ON MY OWN, quit the race and now I'm SR A. That is a massive massive leap for a quit

Finally did something productive with lunch...won a race.👍

A+ finish, D- screenshot...

It's nice being able to convert a pole start, and got lucky I did. Went with the LFA to change things up a bit. Ran a lap and took a couple second off my QT ( sorry @Mc_Yavel 😁) and was feeling pretty good. All of that got flushed down the tubes at T1 when I damn near mowed the grass. Took a couple turns to shake that but was easy sailing from there.

I thought P2 was gonna have a shot but they got Schwedencruze'd...been a busy wall this week.🤣
