GT7 Daily Race Discussion

PD really nailed it with this race C and the last Bop for gr.3
Just look at the variety of cars of this lobby...

Lot of competitve choices, dynamic weahter, different strategies and "gambles" with the compounds.
So much fun!
This is what we were asking for, amazing combo.

Have been taking a break from GT7 for the last few months but 20 laps at Spa in changeable conditions combined with my wife being away for the week has got me hooked again!

One thing I really like is how well they got the BOP balanced on this, allowing me to try some Gr3s that I have not run before.

Current favourite is my BMW 6 Sprint which glides through Eau Rouge whilst my go to choice, the Porsche, is just a bit twitchy for my taste through there in the wet.

So much fun and a real challenge. Well done PD

I tried doing some qualifying for Race C using the 911 RSR but I didn’t even crack the top 10k times. Indeed, it does seem that the Genesis is the most popular, so I think I’ll try doing some qualifying using that instead.

EDIT: I’m now in the top 10k! Used the Genesis X to get a time of 2:19.498.

I want the tunes for some of these cars that are rented to us for Race A. The RX-7 handles WAAAY better than the one I have, and I'm sure the other cars do too. Is there a way to grab the Setting Sheets for these cars?

Update: I have yet to find out where the tunes for the Race A rental cars can be located. After searching Google up and down, I have come to the conclusion that PD has made these a secret. Unless I am mistaken, I'll just need to try my best to get the cars tuned on my own.

There is no tune, it's a fixed BoP. Only brake balance can be changed

Race C.... Are intermediate tyres not as good as they used to be? I was 2nd last anyway, so changed to wets , and went about 12 seconds per lap quicker?! The surface rain was up at the 2nd mark, occasionally above it if off the racing line.

You misunderstood. These cars are pre-tuned, it’s those particular tunes he’s after. That everyone is equal with these cars we know already.

Personally never seen this before. A driver's DR going down in Daily A. This isn't supposed to happen, right?

I apologise profusely 😉

I do know what you mean but my gut feel is that it is the BOPing that makes them feel sweeter sometimes. A little bit less power and / or more weight than you carry normally will just make them feel sweeter.

Have you run your own car on your own tunes on RMs in a lap attack at Spa to see the time difference?

For instance, I normally nail 2:19s and faster with my Porsche in the offline races but cannot get sub 2:20.125 with this BOP’d car

DNF in a previous race B or C and after that go to A. It’ll display the change from said B or C race.

I think you are right. In the 1 hour / 24 hour race at Spa (my go to grind) I can normally stay fast on Inters until you get into the final 3rd.

Wets are really working on this race and essential to have them in your garage.

Just tried the Lexus out… wow. Took 0.8’off my best qualifying time immediately.

Was doing well until it rained then just not as stable as the Beemer for my driving “style”

You are far better than I am but I did a race on Monday evening and picked Intermediates and I found them perfect for the race I was in. Low lobbies maybe 🤔 my lap times were on average 7-8 seconds slower according to the bar. I QT very poor so I don't really have a measure but my dry lap time in a race was 2.17.5

that's fast! In my lobbies I see the odd 2.18.XXX
