GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[Tidgney]

This weeks guide for those interested! I had the world record for awhile on B! What was funnier is I got it on one lap and beat it the very next lap!

 

[Voodoovaj]

I tried a few of the leading cars for Race C and I settled on the AMG. Again, I set the BB to full rear. I got into the 2:17's but I think I can do the last chicane a bit better.

Took a day off today to get some home-stuff done and finished early so hopped onto the Dailies to see what's there. Did a few laps driving non-meta around the Dragon Trail but soon realized GTR was needed.

Quite comfortable going round the track and I can gain at least 0.5s more time if I try hard enough, but will do some actual races now. Still early in the week, but Top 85 will do for now 😋 😊

Hope the standard of driving in lobbies is not gonna ruin it lol... 🫰🫰 Also found that for some reason, if you do not nail a time within the first 2 laps, it just gets worse and worse in terms of drivability! Maybe it's just me and my frustrations lol but after 2 attempts, I retry

** UPDATE **

Confirmed, racing is awful! Started in P7 and forget worrying about the chicane - it's the lag and horrible, dirty, nasty and unacceptable driving is what will get you! By some miracle, recovered to finish in P10 after dropping to P14 from all the multiple hits hits and lag spikes! Only lap I was not barged into was the lap following the one which practically ended my race (lap 3 or 4) after being punted from the Dragon Trail all the way to the Porcupine Pathway! ⚰️💩💔😭😡

Thanks for the video bud, always helpful,

I’m glad of DTS I have to say, I’m sitting there all week 😁

Happy racing week guys

Even with some pain killers and the shoulder starting to ease a little using the my first wheel (fisher price) level of torque

Seems like someone listened to me and went with a gap in the tyres for Race C, soft/hard makes it interesting.

 

[newmedia_dev]

There is some weird SR stuff going on, lead flag to flag in 5 races, finish in second in 3 of them have 2 CLB and lose SR in B I have zero idea, no penalties, no wall contact and no contact with other drivers absolutely random as hell.

Edit:

Monday nights are so rough in GR4 everyone knows the tracks, the car is sorted early on

4 more races I start pole and 2 of them I quit the other 2 I walk it home.

I’m currently in B/S lobbies (high) and starting 1.4 to 1.8 seconds ahead and still in out braked, Jesus.

Gonna take a breath do work tomorrow and come back to this another day.

This week.

I dunno man, that soft is VERY different tyre to the hard, gonna cause some drama.

Some very good races this evening at Spa, I only managed 3 races but they were brilliant. I started the first race in the Lexus as that is what I set a QT time with. I really should have done some laps on hards prior but I was caught for time. Started on pole and opted for 4S/6H. Things were going well, 5 seconds up coming in to pit and then it went wrong 🤣🤣🙈. The Lexus on hards is like driving on ice 🙈 Got swallowed up by a Supra on softs at the start of lap 7 and barely held on to 2nd 10 seconds down. Being a bit smarter I changed to the GTR and again started on pole and this time went 6H/4S. This was a much better option and I came out of the pits in 2nd, 5 seconds down on P1. I chased him down and got past in the run down to the final chicane to win by .3 of a second. Third race was great fun. Again on pole and the same strategy as before. Was a bloody good race, really fair and clean but I just didn't have that bit extra to give. 0.5 seconds for the top 3 will tell how good it was 👌👌👌

It seems most people are going Hard then Soft. There doesn't seem to be enough benefit to running soft first and trying to build a gap.

Then again, it could be the company I keep 🤣

I thought I had third locked up but I came out the wrong side of drafting on the final lap. it's going to be a tough week in Race C.

I'll be doing Dragon Trail this week as it's a favorite of mine. I'm currently at a 1:47.3XX with loads of time to gain yet.

Race number 1 has me P6 on the grid. I get punted in the cruise turn and of course get stuck on the wall and fall to dead last. I fight my way back to P10. And by fight I mean pass people in the CoD that crashed.

Race 2 has me in P10 on the grid and is a demolition derby. I get punted again and it's elbows out the rest of the way. I make a clean pass then get rammed off the track by the driver I passed. 100% pure stupidity and I finish P13.

Like a dummy, I do a third race and start P4 this time. I saw a car with a Buffalo Bills (NFL team) livery, which just so happens to be the team I support. I give them a shout out in the pre-race chat. This race was much cleaner expect that I went off track on lap 1 in the uphill chicane. Some contact, but the normal close racign type so no big deal. I finish P5 and call it a night.

I hope everyone behaves in the coming days or I'll be taping out early this week.

Yeah officially slow at Spa, 19.5 best so far and I tried a few cars. Just have no pace.

 

[brockie]

Pace is hotting up at DTS, couldnt quite squeeze a 1.45 but it’s there, just need the track to come my way in evolution this week and could be another good hard race weekend 👍

So far at 1.46.073 in the GTR

Trust the car, soft's grip is immense.

Funny you say that, I checked more than once that I had softs on as I just wasn't feeling it! On the dpad I was very good around Spa, usually qualifying within 2.5% of the top time, but with a wheel, not sure what it is but I am very slow. In general i am struggling to know when to stop braking and to allow the car to coast, just not sure where the line is, and I think that is hurting me at Spa.
