GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[MIE1992]

I'd put money on the Genesis. Rotates OK and has power.

Funny enough, that was my guess, especially since it seems like other Gr.3 racers like the Corvette C7 are best at higher-speed circuits like Monza or even the Daytona Road Course.

If I do any of this week's Daily Races, I'd say B looks like it'd suit me best. I wonder which Gr.3 cars are the most popular for Watkins Glen?

Looks like BMW and GTR amongst a few others,

I think I’m going to B all week.

I’ll see where my 1.46 starts me in a BS later on

Race C this week does look like a good combo for me to do my first try with the long race format, but I may have to split it with Race A. I'm fresh from doing the 1hr endurance race at Tsukuba on the Mazda Roadster, so that may give me an edge on pace at that combo. 🤔

My preference has become the longer races, I seem to get fewer overly egressive drivers but, it’s also nice to throw some strategy in as well.

This weeks guide for those interested 😊

Oh, boy. The torque surge in the Amuse S2000 starts so early, you better straighten or start straightening the front wheels before you go positive on the throttle. For what should be a nimble car, it's point-and-shoot for this combo. Pew-pew!

Wow Group2 at LM is quite the ride, damn. Gonna be chaos I fear as the car is really frisky at this track. Tried all three for 6 laps each and the Nissan felt best but the time is oddly just not there, weird. The NSX felt terrible but the time was there.... i can't explain it. Managed a 1.41.4 in the NSX but both the NSX and Lexus have optimals of 41 flat, suspect I will need to get deep into the 40's to compete in A rooms.

It’s really odd, I found the NSX the most stable and the GTR really unstable, fast but I can’t get the time from it.

I’m trying to break in to the 1.39’s to compete in my A lobbies. I feel your pain!

Not a bad start to the week, start P4 in my GT movie livered GTR, 3 BMW in front and basically a tale of too many penalties upfront and a very unstable looking BMW

Was very close at the end but bravo to the chasing pack who were clean throughout

Now I can relax and enjoy the weeks racing

When I saw your time earlier I thought you’d have a good time at WG!

 

[brockie]

Yeah the Nissan certainly being good to me at the moment 😁

And the Gr3 at least seems normal this week, transitioning from gr4 so that’s a bonus!

 

[newmedia_dev]

This is the bit I find really tough, in Europe I’ve got times in all 3 races Sub global 500 and all in VR and that isn’t even good enough to start top 5 for a very very low A driver

The racing is fantastic don’t get me wrong but man it’s hard work

@Tidgney A/S lobby and it was all fine with no carnage and on the pace in VR, just Saying

I'll jump on again tonight but the GTR was the only one where I could use TC1 and still get on the throttle early, the other two I had to be more tentative. The NSX feels a little understeery to me and a little twitchier than the GTR but the clock says what the clock, who am I to argue. I actually hope it is my quickest as I have always defaulted to the GTR in Group 2 so a change would be great.

You are better than I am extracting pace from the GTR and my leaderboard says the same as you, it’s the faster car I just can’t drive it with any sort of pace compared to the NSX.

This is what makes it all fun!

A good start to the week at Watkins Glen

Immediate panic when I found myself on pole position but luckily the driver in 2nd picked up track limit penalties the first couple of laps to give me some breathing room. The GTP livery helped as well - thanks to whoever created it.

Tried out the leaderboard favourites (M6 and GT-R) but didn't work for me. I'm much more comfortable with the RC F. Sadly I'll be back in B soon where the fun stops, I go straight to the back of the pack, drop down to the C ranks, win a couple, back up to B. My personal never-ending cycle.

Thanks to some "help" I took out most of the GT7 signs, and did a pretty nice 360 spin.
