GT7 Daily Race Discussion

It's mental that that cheat(all wall riding) still hasn't been rectified considering all the updates!

But you have to see what it is for what it is.

None of the fast/good/decent streamers do it, none of the fast silent leaderboard assassins do it, it's the sort of people I'm moaning about and Gurzu posted a video about. These are people that don't want to race or be the best, they want to win and more worryingly they don't care as much as we do.

No game or competitive sport is immune to this sort of stuff, and it's easy to lay blame at PD but it's not their fault people act like cock wombles, not saying in doesn't need a lot of improvement but it's the cock wombles that are more of a problem than the penalties and I'm a massive penalty moaner!

Since no intel about next week is available, I humbly do my predictions:

A- Autopolis, tuned cars, SS tyres.
B- Red Bull Ring, Gr.3, RM tyres.
C- Spa, Gr.1, RS tyres.

I noticed that, quite often, the tracks of the weekly challenges in single player are then used in the following week for dailies. Let's see...

Had some good races at Road Atlanta over the weekend, apart from the people that naturally insist trying it where you shouldn't. This track is a magnet for that.

I tried one Race B but I just cannot be bothered with the track limits there. Shame because when the track was first introduced it became one of my faves. The GR.3 cars have also seemed weirdly unstable for me for a while and I dont enjoy them. Even at the TT at Daytona I dont feel comfortable.

Race A, week 3 will go down as one of my most favorite race combos in GTSport/7 ever. Just so much fun to be had out there...and in reviewing my friends list, I wasn't alone. Kudos to all y'all this week as everyone was putting down some smokin' times. I saw @Mc_Yavel , @Sum1s2pid , @brockie and a bunch of others that just kept chipping away at laps through the week. Not sure where the aliens were finding almost two more seconds, but I had fun lookin' for 'em. 😁

Got to meet some great racers out there. This was one of the fun ones...I posted 'Dropping back' in the pre-chat (was P2) and told everyone to have a great race. When the flag dropped, P1 and P3 decided to keep me company. Sans the mayhem and subsequent carnage at the hill on L1, the race was just a blast...I don't think a single one of us respected the speed differentials going in there. Lots of apologies and kudos after this one ended, lol:


This one was me making life harder than it needed to be but ended-up a fun race:

Race C, RBR, 11 laps, Gr.3, RS, 1x fuel, 4x tire wear, 1 mandatory pit, suspension tuning allowed.

 

[Chris30]

Yes, the go-karts are back at the Tsukuba course. Are you all ready?

 

[newmedia_dev]

Race C has a grid start

 

[Chris30]

Hmmm, that's something new for me. Well the good news is we won't have to worry about the bad crazy drivers ramming the back of us during a rolling start. And the karts for Race A should be a good combination for the Tsukuba track.

 

[Fezzik]

Grid start, soft tyres, pit stop strategy - what glorious madness is this ?!

 

[brockie]

What’s race B guys?

 

[LogSwapper]

Gr3 with a grid start is an interesting choice. Mr cars shoot off like rockets, while fr cars are left struggling in the dust.

 

[newmedia_dev]

What’s race B guys?

6 laps Nurbs Sprint in GR4

 

[brockie]

6 laps Nurbs Sprint in GR4

Thanks mate, that’ll do nicely 😁

 

[Tazzy-91]

Race C sounds good 👍 might suit the NSX but will probably be a 911 fest as usual 🤣

 

[SPDN Stefano]

Is there a certain technique to doing fast standing starts in this game? I remember the AI beating me pretty badly in the couple single player drag races I did.

TC on 1 for the initial getaway is what I see the likes of Tidgney doing for grid starts. Could be worth trying

 

[Chris30]

Famine should be posting the article soon about the race information. Race C will most likely be a banger this week. Grid starts are very rare here. Now what meta car will people choose this time?

MR cars are quicker than FR, I agree with our friend @LogSwapper.

@SPDN Stefano There is, you have to choose the car that you think will have the most power and that will overtake a good amount of people once the race starts( during grid starts). Beware, if you move your car before the race begins you will get a false start penalty. And what Tazzy said about the traction control, and watching Tidgney's guide explaining it.
