GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[mellofello9]

Had to google that and I guess you mean a Oldsmobile? 😁 nice! But not quite - the partners parents hehe...

My bad...I assume too much. That's a big 'yes' on Oldsmobile. If anyone else was looking for clarification (no, not mine, lol):

 

[Sup_player]

What are the good cars for race B?

I run the nsx… power of dreams lol

Anyone stream on twitch?!…

Looks like next week's daily races haven't come out yet, so I will pick them.

A: '70 Chevelle SS - Big Willow
B: Any Porsche street car below 650 PP - Kyoto Yamagiwa Reverse
C: ANY car below 750 PP - St. Croix B


.....Oh, I forgot to mention something about my races.
Race A will be BoP, and for races B & C, the game will remember your previous tune settings. 👍

I like it. Don't know why PD don't do this - they obviously hate GT3/GT4 race cars and don't want to put anymore in their game so why keep using them for the online races? Just make it road cars only in all aspects of the game.

Because…to a degree 🧐 marketing partnerships tend to equate to spending time as the meta in gr3. And 4. 🤷‍♂️

I had one of those!!! It was originally willow gold metallic, but someone painted it red and I then repainted it white, with a lilac flip paint I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED that car

Great idea!

I’d go for;

Race A: brands hatch Indy, Mini Cooper 65 with tuning, sports soft, 10 laps

Race B: Grand Valley South reverse Gr4, racing medium, 5 laps

Race C: Spa, Porsche RSR Cup, racing soft, 8 laps, pit for fuel and tyres

But I’d need to take a week off 🤣

🙏

A: Lago Maggorie - east reverse - Comfort Awful - VGT 2.67 laps

B: Lago Maggorie - Full Reverse - Racing Hard 7 laps - group 4

C: Lago Maggorie - Full - racing mediums 8 laps - Gr3 - the illusion of strat but no actual strat

Comfort awful is right. Who in their right mind would venture on track with the real world equivalent of GT7’s comfort tires (let alone race with them)?

Only benefit I can see is they’re good for developing car control. Never done as much counter steering as in Race A this week!

I tried the Alfa for B In QT and this is the best I could do, it's a really nice and stable car. It's hard to find the balance for me in gear selection, ultimately it feels so fast revving that being in 3rd for exits yields better times but it feels a little awkward to begin with.

The optimum is good but as you can see my sector 3 is all over the place

LOL, it happens every weekend, all over the world. Folks just roll on up with whatever they have and do a track day. Ever watch the Nurburgring vids? Those folks just rolled up in whatever, paid their fee, and off they went.

Heck, I did a few laps in a Chevy pickup at a track day a few years back! They needed people to put down laps to get rid of some oil-dry and I borrowed a buddy's truck, and I wasn't alone.

But ya, pretty much every weekend, people are at the track with street cars and street tires. It happens all the time.

Yes it does but the cars they give us run at least fast road rubber like pilot sports or T1s etc not remoulds recut and cross ply!

If I wanted to race historic rubber I'd race historic cars 🤣

Honestly I'm not sure the lower compounds reflect well on Michelin especially as they make some of the best fast road (all year round tires with track variants)

 

[Barney Da Dog]

Well this has been a great week - not done a single daily race 🤣

Made a heap of liveries, got an alt UK account set up, golded some more circuit experiences and the Focus time trial, and also worked through the Master licences - just got the Super License to do now.

Dogs have been very very well walked and I've done about 10 miles of flying with me new drone.

Hoping for enjoyable racing next week...

Ya, as for how things reflect on Michelin, I think they're hard at work changing the interaction between suspension and tire, because it was around the same time that the Michelin branding came in, that the suspension went wonky.

BTW, try the Lambo in Race B

Will try the lambo tomorrow.

My word SR is a slow grind in daily B! I mean they happily take it, but pole, clean race bonus and fastest lap (not win) and not tangling with anyone and it moves a fraction.

Edit: simple quality of life improvements for sport.

1. If I'm using my own car just equip the regulation tires for the 99% dry races we have.

2. Remove the bop acceptance screen. We get it ok...

My Saturdays for YEARS was grabbing coffee and donuts and then heading down to the local farm show complex (huuuuuuuuuuge parking lots) where the SCCA cone dodgers would be out in force. Everything you can think of, and some you wouldn't, out there puttin' down times. Wish I had one of those Miatas...275's at all four corners.🤣

Ran a couple A races at lunch and had some fun. Between races was able to nix another tenth or so and finally/barely made it into the 44's (1:44.902):

Ready for next week, tho...😁

 

[Skyrocket44]

A: Super Formula @ Daytona Tri-Oval - 9 laps, RS
B: Gr.4 @ Sainte-Croix A Reverse - 2 laps, RH
C: Gr.3 @ DTS Reverse - 10 laps, RH, 7x fuel, 8x tyre, dampers, ARBs, frequency, diff

I’ve been doing track days in California for years and I don’t see that. Most people I run with take it seriously and come with a track prepped car.

And spare me the lol. What I said was who would do this. I didn’t claim no one does. And also we’re talking about a race not a track day. Do you do a lot of racing on crappy street tires (lol!)?
