GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[Gurzu]

On my way to the airport (45 min drive, 45 min flying time 🤣🤣🤣)

Last night managed to throw away a 1:59. I have no clue how those guys are doing 1.57s

Right see you all in a few days, be fast and safe racers.

Working yesterday only focused on T1 for now, with the aim to get back the gap built from Veyron at the start (5-7 km/h on finish line). I ended up not braking entering the esses, simply lift and coast till just before the curb where I put pedal to the metal. So at tunnel exit I'm almost perfectly superimposed with the Kinder Ferrero Veyron ghost on top of leaderbord (checked my DNA and it's still very human btw). Today I'll work on the launch for the back straight, where that Veyron just flys away.
The only minus of NSX is that I'm really struggling to adapt my "Gurzu livery" on it. The rear side panels are beatchy to draw on.

Tidgney, What do you set the brake bias at in the SF23?

Your videos always gain me several seconds from just watching. Thank you

I put it at +5 this week. If you are ever unsure I lob it in the description and should be in the lap guide as well bottom right at the start

After watching Tidgney's video for the daily races i thought i give race B a go in the Cayman.
It was my 2. daily race ever. So i hadn't high hopes.

But surprise, with a 2:00,689 i started from pole!
The start went well, but on the long straight a NSX overtook me. I tried to stay right at his tail, but in the left hander before the pit entry i took a too sharp line and received a 0.5s penalty

The Penalty hit in the next lap and i lost 2s to the leader.
Luckily for me there was a "crash game" going on behind me, so i kept P2.
The NSX and me had pretty much the same speed. And that's how it ended.

I hope i can do another race today, but i'm afraid it can only get worse

urrrrrrgh that left hander, needs a proper kerb so you know where the line is.

@mellofello9 nice sub 2min time for you there buddy! Just need one of them myself!

Appreciate that...and those started comin' outta nowhere. Once I nailed 1/2/3 and through the tunnel, my times dropped dramatically. The 'Hura-cant' became the 'Hura-can' again and it's been a blast 'round Trial Mountain in either direction. That said, how people are into the 7's and 8's is beyond me. I could try the ghost but then I'd probably just quit. 🤣

If anyone has been on the fence about dragging the Lambo out of storage, give it a try. To/For me, the Lambo has the most 'RWD' feel to it of all the AWD platforms. Great to throw around.

In the end, though, it's the rest of y'all on my friends list that keeps me motivated.😁

100pc agree, feels great to drive.

Thank you!! Some of the members here pointed to me where you advertise it on your video. I was looking in the wrong spot.

My DR has taken a bit of a battering so far this week. Started off at Laguna Seca, but although I find it a fun combo, I'm making far too many mistakes in the race and kept finishing in the last 2 spots.

Switched to Trial Mountain and didn't do much better for the first few races. I think I'm getting the hang of it now - quali now down to 2:00.3 in the GT-R and just got my first win from pole.

I may return to LS as I'm a glutton for punishment 🙄

I hope you're all fairing better than me 🤞

 

[brockie]

Get this, finally managed a win today! 😁

On lunch I managed a few QT laps, first one managed to improve by 2 thousandths 🤨 but the following lap took a good half sec off and now at 2.00.3xx @BuzzdoggZ real tight in the leaderboards 👍

Start P2 behind this GTR, super clean between us both, only us in the race in the end and I held on for the win! Super tense the whole way through

 

[NevilleNobody]

THis was a mixed low A and high B room, I lost the pack tussling with a guy who bomb-passed me. I could P1 through 7 tussling up ahead, TBH they were remarkably clean but I KNEW it would all go hell in a hand basket so drove at 10/10ths to catch em.

 

[ZEE]

Today after the GTWS cup race I had another great Daily Race B at the Mountain!

Placed 3rd overall, starting from 8th postion on grid overall. Last lap was the most fun as I was chasing p3 and p2 and the chrome gold Lambo Huracan had a half sec penalty and i manged to outpace the Repsol Honda NSX in p3 then snubbed the lambo due to his penalty on the finish line.

SO pretty sweet! I am really enjoying this balance of this race, just wish the Gr.4 cars had little more oomph and at least RM tyres choices!
