GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[brockie]

Congratulations for another victory. That Porsche RSR car is a strong one and it has a loud engine/motor. I know because I had the TV turned up loud during the day and durn, it sounds like a mechanical symphony every time I drive it around the track. What DR level are you at now, I haven't looked at your page in a good while. I hope the rest of your weekend goes smooth and you'll earn some more wins. Let us know if you do.

@mellofello9 Yes, some straights can be tricky especially when you're close to a cluster of cars/opponents to distract you while you're racing. Dangerous at times.

Hi buddy, floating around high and low B as always nearing BS currently, hope all is good your end

 

[Goanaut]

@Goanaut I say the same for IRL driving at I do for videogame driving; you should know how to use Manual even if there's an Auto option!

I drive manual in real life (is very normal in my country), and it gives me the feeling of controlling my car better. But I wouldn't say that I'm better in gearing than modern dual clutch automats are ofcourse, as newmedia_dev says.

I'm happy to experience that I now also have better control of my car with MT in GT7.

Something else btw: that one website (gtsh rank or something?) is not online anymore? Is there a way to know what next weeks daily races are going to be?

Not anymore unfortunately ☹️

Wow

Thank you - still a couple of tenths to gain 🙈 It's so frustrating watching the time slip away after mucking up an exit

I'm having pretty good races on B - well until the pink Spanish guy appeared - he's trying to be clean, but he's being taken out by many people he has probably wronged in the past. What a pity 🤣

I finally won on Race A - had several where I've mis-timed the overtake and ended up bumping P1 ahead, and losing myself another place at the same time 😭

 

[bone_tone]

Having spent the week at Bathurst watching Sciroccos stream past my Mazda, I finally tried it myself - result, it was faster than the Mazda for me too! 😂

Pulls better up the mountain, and is faster through the twiddly bits at the top too.

That really is some pace, I’ve been in the 458 today because I think it has more grunt than the Porsche in the first sector,

Although best I’ve done in it is a 1.55.815 and in between I managed to improve by PB to 1.55.715 in the Porsche would you believe but in race trim the 458 just seem to be faster 🤷‍♂️

Glad F1 is back and won’t ruin any results for anyone, 😁🤣

I am really really really starting to tire of the utterly appalling driving standards recently.

It’s like the worst sweaty version of Wipeout. I’m not sure if it’s just easy physics and poor decision making or just these peeps are utter f wits.

I had it today in a Manu cup race, 1st was behind me I’m litterally going to pit in 2 corners time (also had set the fastest lap of the race) and nope couldn’t wait 2 corners. And this was a slightly longer race.

Move over to the dailies, and now the current trend is to just lean on cars everywhere, don’t back out just lean on them.

It’s utterly horrible to race in, it’s rage inducing and also a really sad reflection on what a wider audience considers racing.

It winds me up when these are the same kids moaning it’s not real enough and it’s simcade etc but they can’t even control or drive the bloody arcade car :/

Breathe Glen, Breathe.

Hope everyone is having a nice Saturday? I’m also a bit pissed off my new BMX won’t be here till Thur/Fri and also my second week of giving up smoking after nearly 30 years. Short tempered ish at the mo.

 

[hardvibes]

Still can't get back in DR A. PD must be trolling me.

I know what you mean.

I'm not sure if the reference is directly to Race C, bit i think I've decided Thursday is my tolerance threshold. The grids I was getting involved in were lower and lower DR, yet the quali times were **** hot. This always sets the alarm bells ringing because in my mind it means people are getting used to the combo, and getting quicker, but unfortunately speed doesn't equate to good driving etiquette (and vice versa).

I enjoyed all my days of racing this week until yesterday and the day before.

You said it... rage-inducing.

View attachment 1436413

No, PD doesn't usually troll people. Well the best thing you can do is just keep trying to get low qualifying times and see where it puts you at the starting grid. You may start anywhere between 3-9th place depending on how hard you work to earn your desired time. Also, note what times you clock in each Sector so you can keep track of your ghosts and personal best times. Maybe you will finally get into "A Territory" by the end of this month. Just have faith and don't give up or lose hope. Good luck.

I think weekend racing is where it all goes wrong, I enjoy my early morning races, lunch time races but as a the weekend comes it almost becomes very sweaty out there.

Maybe the evolution throughout the week? Making it harder racing so folk all getting a bit rammy.

I’ve been pondering recently whether to just race up to Friday, or switch races for the weekend, you’re certainly not alone mate.

Keep up the not smoking, it will get easier 👊

I was about to write something similar. I did about ten races yesterday (sat. ) and only in one race, i wasnt squeezed, rammed or pushed off track, because my DR. went down so fast,that i started on pole and won, my 126th win by the way , thank you, thank you. The worst was it happened all in the first lap, it became frustrating. What happened quiet often and it was interesting to see as a spectator from a few places behind. The massive ghosting was a nice attempt of PD, but i saw a ferrari front half inside a porsche ghost (2nd turn the very slow one) and suddenly the ghost 911 flew against the left barrier like it has been slingshot. I did the same to someone, but it was mild nothing happened, besides both of lost another few hundreds of a second. Clearly a ghost i felt a bump as well. But still, besides all the egomanic testosterone overloaded "fwits" i had great driving, side by side uphill at L Maggiore, made new friends and fun testing the cars against each other, the good aspects mean much more to me than the rage tore me down.

I have a question concerning the servers. Every once in a while, there are drivers from india, oman, united arabic emirates and similar in my race. Why so few? I mean it cant be that there are not more indians playing gran turismo.

 

[ZEE]

This is kind a daily Race for B, but done on a Youtubers livestream/custom lobby so...but a really good set of races overall.

I was kindly invited to join SIMGT7's livestream race and lobby he made as a copy of the Daily Race B at Lake maggiore. It was very few fun races, the highlight being the first as I was being chased down by him, an A+ driver and I grasp and ould understand and learn the diffrence in pace bewteen me and him, me being a B rated driver at the moment.

I have a mirage of different finshes for each race between 7th and 10th place overall. He was very good in the Porsche 911 RSR. Was a joy to race with him for the first time and you can see me also in his livestrema which is cool!

We also did one race at Dragon Trial and that was fun, manged to finish 6th there and that was cool being chased down by Porsches left right and center.

Enjoy the nice race photos of my Sunday Racing in GT7 and the clip highlights!

Well, my canine friend 😊 I salute you! I gave it a proper go this week and still came up short to your epic time! I am also happy for the both of us that we have not set our times with the meta, which is nice! Little, niggling mistakes kept me out of the 1:54's but still happy to have tamed the Spanish Maniac at Lago Maggiore this week 😅 Well done @Barney Da Dog

This is my final effort - 1:55:115

Hats off to you too bro, it just looks so effortless in the video 🤣

I’m having a good day in the 458 because I’m just bored of starting in the top 5 in the Porsche against the Italian stallions and getting mugged 😁

True racing circuit though LM, it’s been a good week and here’s to next week.

After doing my token 1 challenge race I really want the south grand valley reverse next week at gr4 🤫

My time usually has me starting 10th to 12th, but in the last race I did, I was on pole - and binned it on the first lap 😭🤣

I usually start between P13 and P16 even when I am in the top 500 global so I feel your pain when the one chance comes along and you are your own worst enemy... Kinda like Ferrari this morning during the F1 😂

 

[Voodoovaj]

It's been a week full of top 5's but no wins, UNTIL TODAY!

Win #209!

I vultured this win from the three guys in front of me who decided to fight it out with full contact. Their loss, my gain

 

[MIE1992]

Did Daily Race A a couple times just now. Notably, on the second race, I got a a clean Q8/P6!

 

[Mc_Yavel]

I had to deal with a leader that didn't want to lose his race at all cost. Got stock 45 degree in front of his car for what felt like a minute. Can't believe I survive!



I also did a pretty good overtake for the lead. Good speed plus a nice bumpdraft and I could overtake and take the lead from the highline. That did not last long but it felt good.

I can never see the satisfaction they could get from this kind of driving. "Oh I won, but I'm still a loser"

Had same on B - driven in to the pit wall, but in a battle for...... 12th!

Nice drivin', sir, and nice choice on the livery! That was my go-to...I have a slot car that looks just like it.😁

Didn't save as many races as I should have but this one was a good time. Almost the whole pack survived the race nose-to-tail. This will be great to pop-up on the retired tv in the garage. I load up a stick with images and vids from GT, plug it in and let it go...perfect for the 'room' if you ask me:

Really wanted to get back to LM but never did. I spent the week driving around in circles with a giant smile on my face. Could not get enough of it.👍

 

[DannyPorter]

Avoided race C this week, no pace, but race B was good racing, mostly worked on manu cup

 

[cyirush]

I have a Hemi Challenger with a manual (6 speed Tremec) and it was cheaper new because the 8 speed auto (which most of them have) is an $1800 option!
