GT7 Daily Race Discussion

Thx guys, I was afraid it would be like this. Not that I'm a great driver, I usually struggle a lot in cars without ABS, but I still prefer a more realistic approach.

I do get the sentiment but online with lag and even in the "more considerate lobbies" car control and positioning varies wildly so these assists save other people as much as the person using them sometimes

Fair point, didn't think of that. But it's ok, no problem. I was almost 95% sure it would be like this before I asked here, 'cause it just seems to be the standard for GT7. I'm pretty sure that even those guys in the World Series Finales with the F40s and F50s use ABS. It as how it is and while less realistic it also makes those cars much more enjoyable to drive.

Hi guys, SSRX is a nice challenge for QT, while the race can be boring and dangerous at the same time. Funny to see how the fastest line is so different (total opposites) between the Merc and the Pagani. I'm at an 4:26.713 in the latter, just outside the best 100 QTs (0.141 from the fastest Huayra). I'll focus on Barcellona from tomorrow on since the old layout is my preferred one.

Yeah just the type of game GT7 is. Accessibility ranks over pure sim value, which is fair enough. You've got your iRacings etc. for pure sim value.

How is this possible? I saw this at end of a race last night, the person did not quit the race and he lost both DR & SR points in a race that "no adjustments will be made".

He quit out of a Race B/C and joined Race A before the previous race finished - so DR/SR changes hadn't yet updated and his pre-previous race DR/SR was displayed.

After the race, his previous race had also finished, allowing for complete post-race DR/SR change updates, and his "new" DR/SR from the end of that Race B/C is displayed.

This happened to me the other night. I got punted to Oblivion in Race B and quit on lap one.

I jumped into Race A straight away and my DR went down at the end of it, presumably a hangover from the above.

Edit, what Famine said lol.

Yeah, not racing this week, lol. I'm too inconsistent at Laguna and one misstep sends you to the back. Barcelona I might try to spend some more time at but really not feelin' that one, either. We shall see....

One thing from last week I wanted to share/see if anyone else ran in to. Got a glitch lobby at Dragon. We were hanging/chatting for a bit and then everyone jumped into 'qualifying' for fun. Everyone got at least one full lap in while we waited. When the race FINALLY started (I got 2+ laps in) it reshuffled the five of us that were left into the order we qualified in during the lag period.

I didn't think GT did that but it was, hands down, one of the coolest glitches ever. Made me wish we had time to do that for EVERY race. Anyone else encounter this before?
