GT7 Daily Race Discussion

We were way too polite. You checked up waiting for me to take the inside, I hesitated, then we both went at same time and chaos ensued. My fault as I peeked inside but I do that on lap one or the folks behind bomb inside but to you it looked like I was initiating a pass.

You 5 race experience was me last night, I fared better today with less idiots but still one guy i just knew would cause chaos and he did by.... yo guessed it.... bombing a guy into 2/3.

I think i am done for the week and I usually spend Friday through Sunday night on the couch watching shows I don't like with the wife.

Race 2: Started P7. Couldn't avoid an accident in front of me at the Chicane of Death on Lap 1, bonked the car in front of me, got tagged from behind, and collected a 2.0 second penalty. Had a solo spin out of the final corner to start Lap 2. Was in last place for a while. SR took a big hit. Finished P14.

That actually sums up this race in anything other than A+ lobbies and even the Rory or Maxpower will be facing the wrong way at some point.

As I said earlier I don't find it a particularly fun track with these cars, it deliberately tricky and unforgiving and I think that's calculated especially as a GTWS is coming up and they want the sorting hat in the right place.

It's a fun track but one with a huge risk factor. T2/3 you gain a lot of time getting on the power early but it is so slippery. Then yeah, CoD can cost you a second if you're not brave but at some point you're gonna butcher it.

@TechnoIsLove Happy birthday mate, hope you enjoy your day doing daily races and having a party with your wife. Take care. How long have you been an A driver? Did you ever fall down to a B cause I didn't pay attention to the old post from 2022-2023.

No worries. It was my first time racing with you, so I wanted to leave some space. 😬

Coincidentally, my wife asked what I want for my birthday (40 today lol) and I asked her for the DD Pro brake spring thingy and we just placed the order now 🎅

Happy birthday.

I’m sure the CSL load cell will be fine. For my V2, I think the issue is metal fatigue in the base plate of the load cell. It’s basically losing its strength so it’s gradually bending over time or losing its ability to spring back. This part.

Now my pedals are out of warranty but the good news is if you contact support they’ll sell you a new base plate. I’m waiting for sales to contact me with the quote. Hopefully it’s not silly $$$ and won’t take too long to get.

I’ll skip anything competitive until this is fixed. I’ll bash out more of single player for now (still trying to complete everything in the game).

So close to a win on B earlier, managed a decent race with no slip ups, P1&2 took themselves out on lap 2 and P3 managed to get 5secs away from me in P2.

Thought to myself, it’s hammer time 🤣

He caught the wall last lap but I just couldn’t take him last corner, finished 0.5sec behind
