GT7 Daily Race Discussion

Yeah it's good in the race, I tried setting a QT with it and was a second off my Supra time but the 911 keeps popping it's head up in races.

Tried it myself today, and got within 0.1 seconds of my Genesis quali time!

It's very stable and grippy in the race, much better than the Genesis on the brakes, and very easy to thread through the COD...🙂

Grrrr @newmedia_dev 😂 😋 If only I didn't mess up Sector 1... Still though, quite happy 😉 What's even "funnier" is that our lap time numbers are inverted 😅

 

[newmedia_dev]

@TechnoIsLove man you are trying!!! I've only done about 200 miles all week which is even funnier 🤣

But on the flip side I've not been racing either 😢 and also suck at B in the Gr3 stuff. That said if the shaft shake is fixed I might be more inclined to race it. We will see, work pub lunch tomorrow so realistically Saturday is my next time for a good session.

I think you'll beat me by the end of the week but we will see, it's fun to watch you frustrated with that last 1/10th 🤣

I have to say, race B is brutal this week, it almost needed gr4 to slow it down a little, I did manage a 3rd place. I held back first corner today to let a few dive bombers through and that was a good decision 🤣

But I really held on like hell to squeeze a 1.37.9xx outa that Porsche and started 7th 😳 I think I might need to spend some time in the supra just for my QT but I think wins won’t be plentiful this week 😁

Definitely going to race some WG this weekend, nordschleife not for me

I mentioned the other day that the subbie seems to behave really odd under haevy breaking with abs on default. The soft suspension also needs a bit of getting used to. I also found downshifting really late to help balance the car into corners.

I have to remind myself to SHIFT, lol. I keep runnin' the bar halfway through before I realize I'm losing time with each passing rpm. Thanks for the brake setting mention, might poke at that later.

It FEELS like you're driving a marshmallow but it still manages to generate a crap ton of grip on CS's. Doesn't add up, lol. Fun to pilot, though, that's for sure. 👍

Yeah pace is hot, I am sitting on a 38.4 but can race with guys qualifying half a second faster. Still, for BS rooms it feels very fast.

Nice improvements at Glen. @newmedia_dev @TechnoIsLove , I think I'm just caught in the middle of your "dispute". 🤣

Excellent work bud!!!

Also, me and @TechnoIsLove just banter we aren't fighting, there is a little bit of "I can do better that you" but it's for fun.

Just incase others think there is some weird rivalry, there isn't just him and I and now @Gurzu having some targets to realistically beat.

It's all just banter for betterment and fun and a bit of light ribbing.

Thanks, I'm really falling in love with the track layout to the point that I can't tell wich I like the most between long and short. I'm well aware btw that there's no animosity, but rather healthy and constructive push for improvements between you guys. I don't see a real rivalry, but more a fellowship throught the game's challemges. It is in general what I see as the "mood" of the forum, and it's a very appreciable thing.

Took me three tries on Daily race B to get a decent effort, started 13th and finsihed 4th place after much bails/****cans at Dragon Death chicane! Very fun race and good result overall! The Lexus RCF was so good and it helped my pacing.

Slightly improved my time around Dragon Trail in the NSX Gr.3, but how am I supposed to crush my enemies with a 1:39.791? They will not be driven before me, and I will not hear the lamentation of their women.

Two final races at Watkins Glen this evening. Once again my, off tracks ruined some potential good finishes. Less shoving as compared to the past few days, but I was still nudged aside a few times. I know a few drivers don't run radar as I was on the outside of a driver entering the final turn. And they just run me off the road like I wasn't there. So, I hit the wall and that starts a chain reaction where I hit a car that got punted. That car then hit the wall and shot across the track where I just make enough contact to slow me down. Just a mess. Also, the fact the general lack of spacial awareness on track is making things difficult to avoid troubles. As I said, I'm guilty of this, but I try to be aware of what's around me.

So with that, I'll be taking a break from GT7 as the new Monster Hunter comes out on Friday and I want to focus on that. Been looking forward to that one. I'll be lurking and I'll pop in if a combo looks good to me.
