GT7 Daily Race Discussion

It’s a momentous day guys, my friends leaderboard

I dare you

I’m stuck on A this week, more wins, more great racing and up to BS

Have a great weekend racing ( amongst other things)

I only tried 2 races earlier, no time to slog out a QT time (i will have a go at your time tomorrow 😉, after tonight i am of until Tuesday/Wednesday night)I swear every US fast and furious fan boy was out, it was chronic 🙈🙈 I was starting from the back and it was like shooting ducks in a barrel until I got near the front....I just got blatantly rammed off the track 🤣🤣 I just gave up both races. I had to laugh though because it's a race that's tailor made for boy racers. Fun car to drive though, the torque steer is hilarious but very predictable and smooth. I seem to remember the last time I used that civic it was a pig to drive, it is actually quite pleasant now 👌 will go again later on and give it a proper try 👍

Yeah from what I see in the races mid pack isn’t much fun, mostly this week I’ve was winning virtually all the races I did and last night was the first night there was great racing between the front 4, I managed a win in my last race out of 5.

Watch tidgneys lap guide, the key is to try and avoid 3rd because you go sideways 🤣 but it pulls like hell in 4th so a lot of short shifting going on.

@Sum1s2pid amazing time bro, I should have kept that one to myself until Sunday night 🤣 something to work towards!

She's bit of a pig in the corners, but I do love me a 5th Gen Civic. 🐷

Lol I just had an Interlagos race where the rolling start didn't let me control the car until mid 1st corner (I was 7th btw). Guess it was the same for everybody. Also 1st place was ghosted at the beginning.
Maybe it had something to do with his connection?

It's a good thing to avoid getting pushed out of the track from the get-go.

Was enjoying race C this week until the update. Had a competitive QT in the lambo for my middling B lobbies (32.5ish), won a race and had several good clean battles. Different story now with the 155 buff. I thought I’d give it a go but can’t get much closer than a second off my Huracan time. Is there some secret that I’m missing to get speed out of it? Thought short-shifting was needed looking at the curves but that didn’t seem to help!
Not looking forward to group 4 races if it’s going to be dominant from here on.

Hi, I'm afraid to say that I daily racing days are over, there was a crisis situation yesterday that shocked me in a bad way. My mom had serious side effects from the chemotherapy that she had a month ago. I made a post at almost 7am in the gt7 TT thread if you want to read it there for more information. She fainted and fell and busted her head on the kitchen floor, so I rushed to call paramedics and I sold my ps5. I got $300 for it so she could have enough to eat and to pay for a taxi back home which we'll have to ride. We will have to rely on the hospital food.

But I will always remember the fun I had doing lobby races and the main races for Sport mode. It's been a journey and I was only able to do 1,423 races in sport mode, but family is more valuable than racing with people online. Well I had to make the sacrifice to save my mother's life. I want to thank all of you for supporting me along this journey during the daily races. I will get another ps5 for gt8, but I need to focus on helping my mom and our stuff. So farewell.

Send prayers for me and my mom. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Chris

There's a lot of time in the Alfa. It just need to be "forced" a lil more in corners compared to the Lambo. It brakes fenomenally, so put a lil forward your markers for braking point, just a little without exaggerating. I use 5 as BB and I find it fine like it was for the Lambo. I used the Lambo for 4 months and the Alfa for only three days, so I know I can just improve on the latter. It will take some time, but I can assure you that it's a very fun car to drive.
