Have you watched the ghost laps? They gain an extra MPH just on the turning. It's mental

Yes, it does help to be super smooth in the turns, but that's not the whole story.
Twice, I've ended the week at SSRX being the #1 qualifier in the world.
This morning, I got to #1 again, but it didn't last too long.
I'm only saying that to add a bit of credibility to my advice.

There are times when you're given a car that just has more power. I think temperature has a little bit to do with it.
It's not all about the temp, but it does seem to make some difference. I can confidently say that if the gauge on your dashboard says 17C, you're wasting your time. You have no chance. Generally 15C, or less, is what you'll see from the top qualifiers.

When I got to the #1 spot, this morning, it was 6 or 7 laps into the run. I believe the temp was about 14C.
Sometimes, as was the case for me, the car will just speed up for no good reason. I was at 413 kph entering the tunnel, while in the earlier laps, I could only get to 411 kph.

In summary, you need to have the good fortune of being granted a bit of extra power, while being in the right temp range, and holding a very steady line as high as possible in the turns.

Debated not setting a QT for Race A. Decided to do it anyway. Accidentally queued up a race. 😤

Race A: NSX Type R '02 - 4:28.165

Race 1: Started P2. Got shoved into the wall in the middle of the first corners, because of course I did. Managed to make up some ground on the back straight and get back into the thick of it. Had full nitrous and prepared to make a dash to the finish line. Got spun out in the middle of the final corners, because of course I did. Finished P9 (last after DNFs).

Race B: NSX Gr.3 - 1:23.837 What's apexes, precious? What's apexes? 😑

Race C: NSX Gr.4 - 1:49.649 Doesn't matter the car or configuration or amount of laps... something about me and this track just don't gel.

Very true, there was a TM event 1 year ago that to set a competitive time meant waiting for it to become night. Was about a 20 min wait.

The conditions should "should" be equal in QT now for all races but they use custom parameters which are locked.

I'll goo bore out a couple of laps in a min and see if I feel what you feel with it.

As Tazzy said 1+ seconds shouldn't be a thing here 1/100s1/1000s should

Agree, I am being super smooth with my inputs, I just don't get how I can be so far off
 
For the past two weeks I've concentrated on Race A, some really good races at Watkins Glen then Tsukuba. Really good fun.

The meme race isn't my thing so got out of my comfort zone and tried Laguna Seca this evening.

Historically I struggle round here in Gr3 or Gr4, I enjoyed it when it was road cars that time though.

My initial QT puts me in P.11 before the last turn. The rest of the race is redundant after that shocking placement. Went back and improved so started in the top ten. Making places by people's lunacy is a false sense of achievement but round here its a given. People's race awareness is bizarre in high B DR lobbies and the domino effect is funny until your in the middle of it.

I can see it getting really messy as the week goes on.

Merry Xmas to everyone and dont race with holiday indegistion...

Yeah I get that bit, I'm using a pad so clearly my turns are gonna be slightly slower unless I'm perfect on holding the analogue stick in the same place!

What I mean is, surely by the end of the straight, everything by then should have balanced out. 10km down a 12km straight, there shouldn't be any reason why a ghost is faster than any other car when my car is on the limit. There is no more speed to be gained. (based on both being the AMG)

This is the bit I'm confused about, it shouldn't matter if (for arguments sake, can't remember exact speeds) the ghost exits the corner at 403km/h vs me exiting at 402km/h. 10km later in a perfect straight line, we should both be topping out at the same speed, no? Given speed tops out anyway quite a bit earlier.

Still loving race C.

I was just in a lobby with "Infamous Spanish guy who drives a pink car with his name on it" (hopefully this is fine for the no name and shame rule even though this isn't a shaming post 🙂)

I started 3rd and they were 8th, so I was incredibly nervous about being taken out before the race even started

Maybe it's the Christmas spirit or something, but they actually drove a pretty much perfectly clean race. Someone took them out on turn one and they didn't even retaliate when they had the chance.... I don't know what to believe in life anymore!

I've seen him race cleanly too, and still be taken out. Deservedly so in my opinion as he's ruined many races I've been in.
 
Some incredibly fast times being set this week at Laguna Seca (not by @newmedia_dev 😂 🤪 😂 ) !!

Slowly starting to get there but wanted to have a bit of fun with one of my favorite cars (old spec NSX GT3) and I just love the way it drives and hearing the engine scream when you trash it around! Won't be setting any records with it but if you want to take a break and just have some fun, give it a go! You will thank me later 😊



Merry Xmas everyone! 🎅🎄🎁

Bah!

I'm not racing this week! Family time now so that's a hollow hollow win you claim. Hollow!

🤣

Merry Christmas mate 🎄🍻
 
That must have been a really tough crowd if you placed 10th, Merry Christmas to all, stay indoors since nothing is open and play gt7, do daily races and open presents. Take care y'all. @Famine, so how many races have you won? I doubt I'll ever be able to reach the A-level. I'd have to do way too much practicing doing laps and studying other players replays.

Hey guys! After playing GT7 on single player only for quite some time I think about finally getting PS Plus to participate in Daily Races.
So just a quick question about something I couldn't figure out so far: How are driving aids handled in Daily Races? For example: Two weeks ago there was a race using the Radical, a car that (IRL) does not have ABS. How is this reflected in Daily Races? Is ABS disabled or are driving aids always available, no matter if those are available on the real car or not?

It's identical to how it works offline.

They theoretically have the ability to ban specific driving aids on a per-race (not per-car) basis - some FIA races in GT Sport banned... I can't remember if it was ASM or countersteer assist, one of the two.

They have, however, used this feature zero times in GT7 so far.
