GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[cyirush]

Do you get some sort of twisted enjoyment over being such a bellend to Chris? Give it a rest.

Bellend is my favourite English insult!

Seaside is Gr4 Lambo looks meta but I think the G70 or NSX are more stable cars across the board and only fractionally slower.

The Veyron would be a good shout as well especially with how it can tackle the curbs.

RE Amemiya RX-7 for race A. Nice. Cool car.

Just did a couple of laps and it's nice, obviously very oversteer happy on boost.

I'm on the fence as to whether I like or hate the limiter chime though 🤣

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: New Normal​

More new Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races are now available, with a fresh set of three events that brings us back into a more regular look following a few weeks of GT World Series-themed action...

'more hairpins than a renaissance fair’s hairstyling tent'

'resembling a slightly battered square (like virtually all parcels coming over this busy festive period)'

Couple of classics this week! 😂

Here is this weeks guide for those after it! Quite a deadly week with either the car choice for Race A or infamous corners for B and C haha! Some big blooper kills to 👀

I wish, just once, they would do a like a 600pp "run what you brung" daily race or time trial. Let us play with our cars!!!

Sardegna..... My word.

Fun and frustrating.

One race I started on pole - finished 3rd, no issues at all as my race pace is nowhere near as good as my qualy pace.

Races I started 4th and 5th were an absolute shambles - first corner madness, cars hitting barriers and bouncing back into you, cars trying to go side by side when they really shouldn't etc....! But I shall continue as the fun outweighs the bad I think?

Haven't raced yet but the gravel traps at Dragon Trail Seaside look lovely in VR....

Hello! 🥳 It's been a while lol... Needed to take a break as was spending a bit too much of my free time (as little as I have nowadays) on the game and was ignoring more important things.. Oops 😂 And also didn't like the selection for the past weeks either!

Happened to be off today and saw my old friend Dragon Trail on Race B so had to take a look 😉 Did a semi-decent lap time before my first race in ages (1:46:3) which was good enough for a P8 start in a Lambo-fest, which I was a part of lol.

Sketch start as I was giving space and not being aggressive vs P7 ahead, even though he was making a lot of mistakes! I then tried to go past (which I was doing) in the chicane after Sector 1 but he tried to nudge me off a few times and almost succeeded! Hadn't it been for lucky contact with a different car going past, I would have been done for as it set my car straight again!

Anyhoo, was down to P9 but I like this track and car so knew I could regain positions if I just keep cool and in Lap 2 exactly that happened! Between crashed (also involving same donkey from lap 1) and an opportunistic overtake, I finished in P6 and happy with race one 😎

Got to say the Gr.3 on RM/RS at Sardegna A Reverse would tempt me back to sport as I like that layout and combo. However I pulled my back muscles moving furniture over the weekend (so nothing exciting) so I can only do easy driving for now - nothing competitive! Also I am temporarily back to flatscreen and not VR so that is less fun and slower as well.

Have fun racing. I'll continue to lurk..

Welcome back and awesome vid 😁

Well held onto at the top of the hill where it got a bit sweaty first lap, I’m finding that left turn before the esses the huracan just slides coming off the brakes so I’ll try the g70 tomorrow

I tried the huracan myself today, 1.48.2xx - I do like racing this track, it’s cool

Just did my first race, the Lambo is fairly awkward in VR for visibility as it doesn't have a review mirror or camera.


A lot of the tricky corners are much much easier in VR but the chicane of death is not one of them, that curb on the right hand side is a freaking lottery ticket!

I set a QT time which I was a little disappointed with but it was faster than @TechnoIsLove so that makes me happy

The race was fine p6 to p5 some quick guys up the front so not fighting them.

Excellent guide as always Tidgney and hope you're enjoying the early holiday spirit! Take care and stay safe in those races.
