GT7 Daily Race Discussion

Woohoo...feelin' like a lo-fidelity all-star in Race A today...😁

I don't often post race A races (especially from my US Alt) because I don't do many of them (unless the awesome tuned cars)

But I'm going to post this short clip, because a couple of reasons. A is is unranked (No DR) and the person messages me after apologising and saying sorry.

I said thanks for waiting and he said "I couldnt wait there was a car in between us" "ok but that's why we wait, to make the wronged person sort of semi whole?" "Don't crucify me I apologized"

This went on for several messages until I called his apology hollow and left it in 2 races later and called it done. He still finished second in daily A but I gained SR and he lost it. I love how this stuff works out sometimes.

This is an A/S driver



Edit: to be very clear I'm in A to practice and recover SR from the B horror show. So "losing" isn't the issue it the admitting the mistake (left that throttle ALL THE WAY IN)

It's the follow up PSN messages trying to be victimised for saying sorry that bug the absolute piss out of me!

Awesome time mate, I saw you and @Mc_Yavel had some decent times on A, I think I’ve worked out how to take the second but last turn flat out, sort of like turn 3 so I’m going to try getting into the 1.38’s tomorrow

Sort of given up on race B, the icing on the cake was 2 x pink livered cars who came in and Leroy Jenkins the race 😁

But A is again a decent race for the most part

Edit

@newmedia_dev definitely a strange one, no intention of waiting and then apologising - that’s passive aggressive 😁 yeah unfortunately it’s a throw up between a clean that happens and a not clean, mostly the latter I’d say 🤨

I'm way more cynical than you 🤣

It just bugs me he didn't lift off with both of us off track. The problem I deep down have is that this is no DR and he had a lot of opportunity to not get in to a position to have to say sorry. Deliberate yes, malicious no. But very reflective of race control, car control and overall ability.

Honestly I wouldn't expect that in any lobby especially a daily A and it bugs me a bit that someone would apologize for A race mishaps.

Sweat to win, sweat to win.

Honestly be the guy that finishes and you'll always finish further and further ahead. I like all my wins to be ones where I don't have to apologise.

Edit: because my god the spelling, auto correct and just words 🤣

Weird thing this week. Race C, low D lobby, I'm like a quarter bar of D right now, anyway, finished 12th, but so many ppl got tire or pit penalties that I placed 4th! But after the race, my DR was the same. Now it's possible almost everyone in there was lower rated than me, but not too likely.
Then I thought of the delay that happens when you finish, you get the checkered flag, and then the penalties are applied. Is it possible there's a glitch that awards DR on your place before penalties? I guess if that were true A drivers would have figured it out and exploited it by now. It would explain though why so many ppl got penalties if they knew it didn't matter.

There can be a little bit of lag in DR and SR updates.

Mate you gotta get out of those D lobbies. Focus on race lap times not positions.

There is no reason reading all the advice here and the TT thread.

Honestly driving standards are the reason you are in D

 

[Randall_Flagg]

Hah I like your advice but I've been in D since GT Sport and only got to C in weeks where Tsukuba came around, I am what I am at this point haha.

Dude you do you, but honestly it's not hard to drive better and quicker and also safer.

There is no excuse (if you want to improve) that you sit in D or C only your decision making or really bad car control.

I randomly noticed this during one of my dailies this week...

Can anyone tell me how this is possible?

Ratings carried over from GT Sport and I'm guessing they haven't done much sport mode on GT7

That’s weird, I’d literally **** a brick if I lost all of my data, maybe it’s just sync error?

I don’t think DR/SR follows over from GTS, because I was A rated on that and started fresh on GT7

 

[Randall_Flagg]

It did carry over, but I think you had to choose to do it before a certain date or it would start over.

 

[NevilleNobody]

Yeah mine carried over

... do pretty much anything in GT as no part of this is enforced.

Don't mistake this for disagreement with your sentiment - it's poor etiquette to weave down the straights, and really you're only supposed to change lines once with the second move being a return to the racing line ahead of the braking zone - but just an expression of reality. If GT's penalty system doesn't penalise you for it, it is allowed and, de facto, you're entitled to do it.

Personally, I only move once (usually to right up against the pit wall) before returning to the racing line for braking. It's not a requirement of me though.

This is why I talked about “etiquette” not rules. It’s unfortunate that so many choose to adhere to rules enforcement rather than good etiquette. Case in point: drivers aren’t penalized for running another car off the road with side on contact. Should we all just do that from now on?

Distance matters. Thebtow in the game is crazy strong so early on the straight and like 1 second away then weave away but pick a lane before the braking area and/or if things are under half a second.

Nope.

Just. Don’t. Weave.

It’s simple.
