GT7 Daily Race Discussion

I see a lot of love for race A out there at the moment, must try that one soon,

I’ve been in B enjoying the racing and I see now the DR A guys come to town and push me down the ranks a little 😁

Managed a couple of wins today which was a nice surprise, first one hard fought and nervy but starting the second as per my video was more than welcomed 🤣

Managed to get my QT down a little and hopefully a 1.55 is possible even if just

I know right? Lago Maggiore is very fluid.
Up until yesterday I used +2 BB on the Huracan, then I improved my laptime by leaving it at 0.

Interesting, worth a try! Thanks mate

** Update **

Thank you, @hardvibes - a man with good advice! Took me some laps to get used to 0 BB and now need to fiddle a bit with wheel settings, but looks promising with the optimals and definitely moving forwards 😊

If you were "low A+" - let's say 60,000 - then you would have gone from 20% progress (10,000/(100,000-50,000)) to 10% progress (10,000/(150,000-50,000)), losing half your bar.

YA, that makes sense


On a different note, is it spring break somewhere? Some questionable choices being made on track

Forrests Elbow and the Cutting in 3rd?

Yes

Watch a top replay mate, the less shifts and the more torque you ride the faster it's gonna be.

Edit: I have a huge amount of time for Matt/Sparks and this video is really really really helpful.....but I think in this instance the production values are a bit overzealous and sickly a little but I'm not the primary audience I feel but the content is excellent.

C'mon GT7! How am I supposed to stand a chance in this kinda lobby??

Taking two wins and one second place so far this week obviously got the matchmaking carried away, I suppose I'll take the compliment but the No.1 quali time holder in the world is a bit out of my league...

I bet Glen doesn't have to put up with this kind of treatment. @newmedia_dev

(For obvious reasons, I'm not pictured)

Similar to several previous posts, I'm also very low A, but getting in lobbies with a bunch of A+ YouTubers quite often.

Mazda 3 🤮 hate the thing

Glen definitely takes his fair share of those lobbies and brutally less "able" ones as well.

Glen definitely is one of the people feeling the pain, frustration and at the moment very very little motivation.

Also I get what I deserve and own, I'm not consistent and I pay for that.

But yeah "don't they know who I am" 😝🤣🤣🤣

Honestly I'm just a racer like all of us, sometimes fast sometimes slow but always supportive

I feel your pain.
I cant drive that thing so I picked the Scirocco but I cant match the pace of the Mazda gang and Im bleeding DR in a painwful way.

.

With all the love that I have for Bathurst I think I wont be doing more races there for this week.

Get slower and race with the B crowd?

I'm getting a lot of A+ in my lobbies. Luckily not so many (at least well known) youtubers. Seems to be much less of a thing on the NA servers.

Well just let your DR tank some and then you'll be back down to a level B. If it was me, I would rather be in a B or C lobby because the drivers there would at least have common courtesy to be respectful and give other drivers space and not ram them or ride their butt/end. Don't get discouraged if you don't always win, at least you're having fun out there. Just take one step at a time. Good luck.

I was wondering like @Barney Da Dog if there's some temperature related variable in QT at Daytona. I checked some leaderbord top times replays. Actually some of them do a very slow lap beyond 10 min before starting to push. I did something similar with a good improvement and an ideal valuable for the 15th top time.

I had also my first win of the week after multiples accidents. Guess what happens at the end?

 

[EricTheActor]

Or when I superglued both my eyes while fixing the fish tank 🙈

Excuse me if I’m wrong, but if I recall correctly, didn’t you get bit by an otter at the airport? 😂 which is like 1 in a billion chance.

And you have the best profile pic and name. What a great name for a dog.

Daily A brings so many fond memories from GT5 Nascar lobbies. And when you end up in good company, its relatively clean fun. I hope this would be the stock tune for the superbird so we could have good fun in the lobbies after this week. Here is a no-names example from A/A+ room. Relatively high split I assume, as the top 5 baby blue is GOTMAXPOWER and K. De Bruin was a quest in few of the same races. Didn't even remember S/S -ranking still exists. Good fun even without Hollywood ending as I bit below yellow line entering the last corner.

Ps. This race is also testament to just how good the dualsense controls now are, as I sold my PS wheel recently.

A question from a beginner - what are the little cell phone looking bars by every driver’s name in the race lineup? There’s usually about three bars, some are green, some are yellow, and occasionally I’ve seen two red bars.

Thanks.

Their connection/ latency. Occasionally you will notice the drivers with poor connectivity darting back and forth across the track.

Thanks!

As said, connection strength. Green good, Red bad 🤣. You will know when you have a player with a bad connection issue as the cars will be jumping all over the place so be warned!! It happens quite alot in the European lobbies if you have an unfortunate Russian player in it, for some reason they, through no fault of their own, seem to cause this a lot. I am not familiar with how the servers all link up but it does seem to cause issues regularly. Quite often I have been in races and the poor sods are left there on the grids ghosted as the race goes on around them 🙈

 

[Charmantha]

The changed the range for DR recently, and I noticed that each pixel on the bar has more value to it. So it is possible that people who were on the edge of A might be a B now. I was in the low A+ when it happened and I lost almost half my bar.

And, I put up a post a couple days ago regarding the controller sensitivity. I find the steering SUPER SLOW right now, and it's making me slower. I tried changing the sensitivity and it does nothing.

I read your first post about the sensitivity and agree with you. I was on +8 already in gt sport, but something has changed. My steering isnt precise and coming out of some corners a supra gt3 suddenly feels like a overpowered FF. It just goes straight into the sand. After i read your post i tried from - 2 to +10, i didnt feel much difference as well.

 

[Tuning_Maniac]

Race A is so much fun.
Yes, occasionally you get punted round and that sucks, but I must say in 85% of the races I've done the racing at the front is clean.
And then the game begins of when do you overtake and when do you just bump the guys in front.

Closest win was with 0.014 and my other wins or top 5 finishes are nearly always all within 0.5 seconds.

I'm actually not the first person to be bitten by an Otter at the very same airport 😯 An elite band of men indeed.

Barney was a very special dog - pro footballer, eater of doors, chaser of cats, avoider of water. Sadly put to sleep 11 years ago after a short battle with cancer 😔 https://www.flickr.com/photos/crieffy/albums/72157628487005619/

Man I am so glad you still got the win there!

That other driver's flag often appears in cases of dirty driving (in my experience anyway)
As the game can't seem to penalize dirty drivers at all, I wish GT7 had undercover "stewards" that could review a replay and dish out bans - a day, then a week, then a month.

I have some time today so may experiment with letting everything cool - I think in all of my recent attempts, the fastest lap has been my 3rd lap with the following laps always being within 2 to 4 tenths slower. Where a good line may make up time in the corners, time will be slowly lost on the following straight..🧐
