Thanks, Turbotoast! Having clean, fair and fun was always my goal. As you saw in real time, changes were made to the lobby to help keep the racing fun, too. Challenging, but still fun.

Another good Monday night, thank you MasterGT for organizing!

For those of you that need credits you have 1 more day to gain 2 million credits in the Sport online time trial challenge. Sofar I just squeezed in for the gold. Good luck!

Rory Alexander (YouTube) claims that the latest update fixes the lag issue. That will be nice.

[MasterGT]

The Silvia S14 is a fun car. You still have to drive it, but it does growl, a bit. Now I will have to see how it performs in mixed company.

I haven't noticed this before. An advertisement for NISSAN is currently on this page just when we use a NISSAN car. Oh my.

Monday Night Racing

October 10 @ 7:30 Eastern

Car: Toyota Gr.B Rally Car, Tires = Racing Hard & Dirt, 516 HP, 2601 lbs

With 50-60 people watching these races every day, on average 53 of you, we would love to have more of you joining us on the track each week.

Why not give them a try tonight?

 

[MasterGT]

The MNR lobby will be open in a minute or two.

 

[MasterGT]

This is an excellent example of our racing, from last night. There is a variety of skill levels, it shows our mistakes, one of the drivers was using a controller for the first time in decades because of an injury, one is around 80 years old, one driver had a completely stock car going up against tuned cars, and so on.

Good, clean, fun racing each week.

Monday Night Racing

November 21 @ 7:30 Eastern

Car: De Tomaso Mangusta / Dior, 300 HP, 2612 lbs, Tires = Hard & Medium (see note), target PP = 548

Add the normal FC Differential, Manual Transmission, and Suspension.

The Magusta is an unusual car because it contains a mistake on PDI's behalf - the weight distribution is incorrect, massively incorrect, to be more precise. There are at least two ways to deal with this error: add weight to the light end; use staggered tires. I would recommend using staggered tires because adding the maximum weight without reducing car weight can't go far enough to make it right. Without a weight balance, using 4 tires that are the same is just asking for trouble.

I will post my tune when it is more reliable than it is right now.

Tracks & Conditions, (Laps)
Maggiore East Reverse, Tires = 6X* Fuel = 7X (10)
Sardegna Road Track A Reverse, Tires = 7X Fuel = 6X* (8)
Monza with chicane, Tires = 7X Fuel = 6X* (8)

Come for the free beer, stay for the great racing.

 

[MasterGT]

The Mangusta is a handful in its present rendition. I hope PDI fixes this thing soon.

November 28 @ 7:30 Eastern

Car: Honda Gr.2 NSX Concept-GT 2016, 603 HP, 2313 lbs, Target PP = 842, Tires = Racing Hard

As with most racing cars, you should add the Racing Transmission.

Tracks & Conditions, (Laps)
Barcelona National, Tires = 5X Fuel = 7X*, (15)
Road Atlanta, Tires = 5X Fuel = 5X, (13)
Tokyo Expressway South Counterclockwise, Tires = 5X Fuel 5X*, (9)

Come for the free beer, stay for the great racing.

 

[MasterGT]

The racing last night only reinforced my idea that Road Atlanta now takes the title of the Most Fun track in GT!

For those of you that are experiencing GT7 freezing issues, try to rebuild the database in safe mode. My screen would freeze up for ~1.5s at a time where the race would continue and I would lose time in the race. This started happening with the latest 25th anniversary edition update 1.26. I recently tried the database rebuild and so far so good....

 

[MasterGT]

Good news! Thanks for the feedback.

 

[skippyvb]

Database rebuild did not resolve the issue, still freezing. Next step is to reinstall GT7 from scratch. If that doesn't work I will proceed with ps4 factory reset after which I will be out of ideas...

This has happened to me a couple of times since last update but only when playing on my own, never in a lobby. Rebuild didn't help here either. I'd wait for next update before factory reset. But that's just me.

Thanks oldguy! I just tried to move the game to external SSD but that did not help either. I have this issue during daily races, time trials and Monday night in MNR lobby also. I don't think a factory reset will help either and agree the fix should come from the next update.

I let PDI know about this issue, but keep in mind that, without a sure-fire way of triggering it on their end, it may take them a while to figure out what is going on.
