This is interesting because I always run a front bias because I like extra braking in to the corners.
A top tip from me is brake far less than you are doing, on this race i barely touch my pedal before im back off it and turning in, there is turn in arrows on the walls telling you when you should turn in, when they are dead level with the edge of your screen turn in and commit to the apex, if you hit the wall when you hit the apex, next time around let the turn in arrow disappear before you turn in.
Hers is one of my races i uploaded the other night, enjoy 😊
If you can do a i.39:xxx you can get a 1.38:xxx too….
Never really done any photos on GT7 so thought id have a go, see below some images taken from my race video above, not the best but its my first attempt and there is so many photo options to choose from, wasn’t really sure what i was doing to be honest.

Do the above for each bend and you’ll be smashing it in no time, this is exactly how i got my 1.38:5xx, took me all of Monday night to master it, this is why i love this track, once you figure it out the satisfaction of clattering round there without clipping any walls is just immense, proper addictive for me.

What ive noticed is, when i set a QT fast time, its never on lap one, on lap 2 ill get a 1.39:2xx or there about but to nail a 1.38xxx i must get the last bend before the finish straight perfect and nail the exit, you’ll know right away when you’ve done it because the timer will turn blue and will climb rapidly, before you hit the first bend you’ll be like -300 off your previous lap, you then need to carry that extra speed thru the next two bends and down the tunnel.
It’s all about carrying the additional momentum you gained from nailing the exit on the last corner before the straight, if I don’t nail that exit im pissed, because i know the next lap is already down the pan and I don’t wanna hit restart because it will take me another 2/3 laps to build up the momentum again, also revving the nuts off it in 2nd and third gear helps too, after all its a Japanese car and it loves being thrashed.
Good luck 👍
Thank you admin for assisting me with my post, that multi quote thing blew my mind, id never seen that before, i was hitting quotes and then was like where’s the quote, hit it again, added to multi quote, wtf is multi quote arrrgghhh, i get it now thou, cheers
I liked this one, don’t worry you are not alone, I’m constantly checking the times after each corner until I settle down, just keep going there are wins to be had when you least expect it - racing online is as unexpected as life itself, all sorts of things can happen, including being punted off! Take it in your stride and you’ll appreciate wins when they come along 👍
That’s normal, on Race A this week if im not under pressure, I don’t scrape the walls and i am generally a couple of seconds in front by the start of lap two, but…. if someone is on my bumper my driving is complete different, im bouncing off walls and all sorts, its so difficult to be calm and relaxed when you are under pressure, don’t worry that’s a normal reaction
I did not watch any lap guide but it's kind of all there. You just need to connect all the black circles. There are the "turn in" circles, then "the apex" circles, then the "apply throttle out of corner" circles and finally the "exit corner" circles. Just that one curvre with an arrow.
Same for me, I feel way more relax when my front bumper is 1cm close to the car in front than when I'm leading with someone on my bumper. Most of this comes from the fact that I'm afraid of getting rear ended into a corner so I stress and make all kind of mistake. When I'm behind, I'm more relax, I will lift before braking and then I know there is no reason to miss the apex since I'm slower than usual. I also know I'm playing in the head of the guy in front and he's the one who gonna try to push more.That’s normal, on Race A this week if im not under pressure, I don’t scrape the walls and i am generally a couple of seconds in front by the start of lap two, but…. if someone is on my bumper my driving is complete different, im bouncing off walls and all sorts, its so difficult to be calm and relaxed when you are under pressure, don’t worry that’s a normal reaction
The chance to Daily Race together are none but at least we can have little fight on the leaderboard. We have the same pace, our races would be legendary!
That’s one or the reasons ive kept clear of Race C this week and because I've been enjoying Race A so much too.

Will need to look what's missing for Plat in GTS. Never really a target of mine, but only two missing, should have a look.
Best overtake of the week. The last one is marvelous. Had to time my turn in pefectly to fit my car in that space without lifting on hitting.
Then this entire sector 3 door to door from this morning race
This is the way, if the other car go for a move, better let him go, Fighting each other is slowing us down both so much, the pack will be there soon and that's when thing get ugly.
It's my typo...I meant to write UNDERsteering everywhere.
Not unless there were only five people in the race.
Great to see you again - a bit daunting when we appeared with you on pole, and me P2 though!
Any corner you have lift or brake for has the turn in arrow, not just the first one 👍🏼 see images below
Reason I ask is there’s been a few times this week I’ve noticed people quitting Race A, with it only being 4 laps and under 7 mins long in total, I don’t understand their mindset, no matter what had happened in the race you would just finish it as it’s so short and save your SR.
Afraid not, was too busy trying not to bounce off the wall
to catch any names. Ive got a few replays saved so will skip thru them to see if anyone quit in them, if there are ill uploads to you tube.
At the time I quit, there were 11 players.
Then you would have finished 11th. You always finish last of the current race order by the number of people remaining when you quit.
Quitting races causes Sport Mode data update lag: nothing is updated - including DR - until after the race you quit has finished. There's a rather obvious reason for this.
