GT7 Daily Race Discussion

That really is the thing, right? I just don't want to be "that guy". At least, not often, anyway.

Exactly. Yesterday, I felt like I was just in the way.

This could be my brain misfiring, but do the RS's seem to lose traction less abruptly than they used to? Exceeding the limit seems way more manageable now. Could be me, tho.😁

There certainly is something going on, when I said in an earlier post that I never used to be able to drive the supra, there’s some sort of delay on the acceleration which I am counteracting with earlier inputs.

When I tried the BMW it was fine, so not a setting thing or my faded brain thing

Haven’t seen many if any ppl spinning off turn, so maybe there’s something in that 😁

Trying to do some of these Daily Races so that I can get the trophy, only on 13 so far.

Just loaded up one on Spa and when I got in I nearly had a heart attack though when I saw it was now B rank and not C. 😵‍💫

All their qualifying times were way better than mine, sitting in tenth place for the rolling start 🫠 Has a relatively lucky race and managed to get up to third through other peoples’ mistakes rather than my own skill, but I’ll take what I can. As much as I’d love to be, I just don’t think I’m able to be in that higher percentile, especially consistently.

Practice practice practice mate.

Keep plugging away, important to get a good qualifying time, but for me the racing is what I do it for, sometimes however, you end up in the middle of those mistakes 😁

First off, congrats on the podium!!👍

IMHO, this is a prime example of why the way they build lobbies is just fine. You showed-up and felt you wouldn't be competitive yet finished third. There's a reason that can happen at all. It comes down to matching drivers based on more than just the simple B/S -vs- C/S moniker.

There's a huge talent spread from the bottom of a rank to the top of it. This isn't true when you're at the crossover point, though, so the further up your rank you go, the more you start to see the next level up in your races. The points system in the background is the 'magic' that makes it work about as good as any system is going to. Those points (that we don't see) define a lot of things about a driver, from pace to consistency.

Again, Op Ed...😁

Don't get discouraged mate, I've been down that road many times. I believe my best rank was #3,107 at the Autopolis track back last year. And it was involving the Group 4 cars, that was my small bit of enjoyment and fame. Thankfully they made the trophy requirements much easier and we don't have to win 300 races to earn a gold trophy. Good luck and hang in there. Would you mind adding me on your friends list later? Thank you.
