GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[Gurzu]

Hi guys. My back is still killing me. Couldn't race for the third consecutive week since I'm at 98% DR B. It's like seeing the "end of the tunnel" in a nightmare where you run toward it without being able to reach it. It's sooo frustrating. It's like: "Don't worry, next week you'll get there... Maybe". I'm still below the mark of 380 races in my four months journey in Daylies, but my impatience is now starting to haunt me.

Yeah, I've not been able to get close to the front in B or C - I enjoy driving both of them but just can't the qualifying time right, In race pace I'm fairly close, but on B with 4 laps there's not much chance to make up places.

edit/
I can't see me having much success next week either - all three are a bit 'byock'.

This technique doesn't help with improving my Sector 1 split

I did that in the Genesis and set my fastest QT as a result!

Ah so it's pick 'an mix from the pre published events

A: SSRX - tuned cars
B: Laguna Seca - Gr3 RM
C: Catalunya - Gr4 RM - should have guessed this with it being a TT course at the moment.

In VR and Gr3 I'm not sure how Laguna is gonna work for me, it's tricky to hit the brake markers and exit markers in my first few lap. Also the track feels super narrow in VR

its early so my QT is ...😋 need to get bit higher but not sure if iam going to race it 😝

Race C no mandatory tire so possible something other than the Lamborghini or GTR can get up there.

Done 2 races with a poor qualifying and have gone up 10 spots or so each, no tyres on the 4C. A DR level.

The NSX would be a solid shout as well.

Was thinking the same. NSX and 458 runners did pit but they could also just be unintelligent.

Or they could be following the rules. Did they change this before I booted up?

Point to me where it says there’s a mandatory tyre change.

Just had a fantastic race at race C.

Started pole, avoided some clown on the first corner. Quickly ended up 2nd and had a pretty much entire race battle with the guy in 3rd.

He nudged me a bit wide, so he let me go at the corner exit.

I nudged him slightly at the last corner, getting him a penalty, so I stayed behind him until his penalty was served.

We must have swapped positions 6 or 7 times cleanly, and eventually my tyres gave up and he pulled away. I got overtaken on the line so ended up 4th.

Really loved it though. Again, race pace doesn't stand up to my Qualy pace but it's all good, it's Christmas week so lots of time to work on it 🤗

I do want to try changing tyres, as I really lost a lot of time in the last few laps trying to hang on at T3, 4 and the final corner (hence being overtaken on the line), and receiving a 0.5s penalty as well for track limits at the last corner. I reckon a tyre change would have negated all of that and then some. Front left was basically dead, the other 3 were more than fine. I like it when it throws up a bit of strategic balance

My consistency in failing at Dragon trail last week means my DR went down half a bar, and my SR 1.5 bar (to mid A). In the beginning of the week I had a rather okay-ish QT for a DR B driver. Just couldn't manage to go quicker during the week. On top of that I crashed at least once every race at the CoD. Sometimes twice. Maybe it's good that there's a new week now

Never really took the trouble to learn the Barcelona track. Maybe this week is the time to do it, as I like the close racing of gr. 4.
