GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[Haitauer]

What I am hoping is this is a week for data gathering ahead of the update to see if they can more finely balance the cars for the different race hoppers they use.

Especially race C with tuning allowed could help them with bop setups if people are able to make the non-meta cars faster. They should have few slots with tuning allowed and no DR - races, to let people really try and level the field with tunes.

Its only tuesday and i'm split if I should grind DR in race C with RSR to reach DR A+ or try my best to make the never loved gr.3 Mustang as competitive as possible.

The wife should let me and the kids sign up for Plus this week, so the Daily Races will finally be open for us!!!

3 attempts at Race B today all with the Genesis X. It goes well in this race for me.

2 ruined by my errors (3 1/2 second lead on lap 3 and I miss my breaking point at the Chicane, and just before I get back onto track it resets me was my worst).

The other race was ruined lap 1 because the other driver didn't like me going around them and ran me off the road.

Not a fan of the races this week, I love group 4 and was excited to get back to it then saw they restricted to a subset of cars. Boo. I want to race my AMG. Sigh, guess I can hope for next week since last week was totally devoid of any GR4 action.

Ok, last week the 911 was still able to keep up on the straights, not at Spa unfortunately. Made few practice laps following Tidgney's ghost and the 911 is ridiculously losing down Eau rouge till Kemmel's end and from Stavelot till Bus stop. It means that to be competitive there's a lot to do in braking and corners to get back that gap (ridiculous I repeat my self). I nevertheless think that it will not be enough to keep at bay those Supras on straights. So I jumped on the Supra just at the end, for few laps. Need to "learn" the car a bit, but in straight line, at least down Eau rouge to Kemmel's end, I'm now even gaining some 1/2 tenth to Tidgney's ghost. I love the 911, but for Spa I'll be on a Supra. I see the 911 coming back hard only at Race C. Btw, wishing a nice racing week to everybody.

Someone got an idea for LSD settings to improve traction with the Porsche on Deep Forest? Did a few practice laps yesterday and have a 1:27:5. I maybe can try to approach the 1:26:x this week. These cars can be slippery on corner exits. I still find it hard (on a controller) to find something between 100 % throttle or almost no throttle. Difficult to gently increase the throttle every corner, instead of just ramming it to 100 % very fast. My LSD settings were 10 / 50 / 10. Was not disappointed, but can be adjusted further for a more safe feeling maybe. Not faster per se.
