Well, I just Golded Daytona despite getting a penalty for allegedly cutting the Bus Stop, so I guess that's nice.

For some reason lately (not sure if it's always been this way) but the AI (in custom races at least) are not going full throttle. And I just noticed that their stability control lights are flashing the whole time, which might be the reason for not going full throttle? I don't know if this is a bug or? Super annoying.

I never thought I'd see someone who so perfectly embodied this player type.

So far you have learned only obvious and mundane things. I know that taking the first step can be the hardest part of the journey, so I wanted to coddle you a little just to get you going. The coddling stops here. You must now understand the cold, hard truth of competition. This is the difficult par

The immovable AI in GR4 and GR3 races.
I've tested this out and it blows my mind. Take Daytona and a road car race, if you make contact with an AI car, they'll slide as you'd expect, but in the GR4 and GR3 cars (especially GR3) they don't budge at all. I've gone to the point in testing of actually drawing alongside an AI car on turn one, turned hard right into the AI car (it's a left turn that tightens) and been guided all the way around the corner by the AI car.
Why is this annoying? Because those AI controlled GR4 and GR3 cars will sometimes make contact with you, resulting in you going flying off track while they continue on as if nothing happened. It's bizarre, as if the cars are on rails except for you!

Lack of a weather forecast before starting a race. I'm am certain that this was present in GT6 (never played it but I do remember seeing it in there somewhere), but got omitted here for whatever reason. I want to have a decent idea on when to go to pits to replace ill-fitting tire compounds and what to expect from a race, like, will it start with heavy rain so I can drive more carefully, and after the weather subsides, then that's the moment to drive more aggressively.

It does, it proves that you actively punt people who race in a way that you don't agree with, despite the fact that you don't write the rules of racing or the game.
You can't say you race fair if you openly ruin other people's races because they run a strat you don't like.
So if enough people no-stop, it's fine. If only a handful of people are smart enough to work out a no-stop strat, it's bad? Sounds like people need to figure out their quickest method and go with that, without other racers trying to play judge, jury and executioner.
You see how you typed "one stop is a viable option"? You should have stopped there. The game, and racing in general, is full of mixed strategies when it comes to pit stops, with various teams in various disciplines trying to reduce the need to pit to the absolute minimal. Everyone does it. No-one pits unless they have to. Get over yourself and stop trying to decide the rules for others. The game has its rules. Racing has its rules. You follow those rules. You don't make up your own and impose them on others.

1. Engine degradation is permanent in this game.
2. But there's no indication that your engine is worn displayed anywhere in the game, you just have to go by the HP value (engine condition will still say "Excellent" even on a worn engine after a failed tune up).
3. You cannot purchase new engines for race cars (cars that will probably see the most mileage in the game besides the Tomahawk...). The only option is to buy the car again to recover the lost HP. How does that make any sense? Racing teams don't rebuild the entire car just to swap out an engine.
4. Made even worse on pre-2001 race cars like the TOM's Supra that cannot be purchased from Brand Central. Gotta wait for them to show up in the RNG shops.
5. Tuning sheets are saved to individual cars, not models. So you have to copy over each and every setting manually once you get your new car.
What a fantastic user experience.

Stupid penalty system, for when I get hit by someone elses car and I get the penalty and they get nothing. Sportsmanship is a joke far too many people on S rating going around bump people out of the way and no penalties......
Remember folks, in these days every game released is flawed, so much worse than others and madly hyped for long periods before released. this issue is how developers deem it OK to release games in this kind of state.
But these points aside, it's how fast will developers issue corrective patches to put the issues right???? know fast from GT Sport, they continually kept issueing patches and extra content over time. No doubt PD win o this for GT77, just be paitent all will be good ......in time........

To me it’s still incomprehensible why the Wheel Instruments in gr3/4 Cars are still only Cosmetic.
They absolutely serve 0Value in terms of Fuel Mapping/Economy for example.
No functioning TC Values shown either.
No idea why PD didn’t encode them properly and made those Functional.
On the other side, we have the Road Cars where all these Functions are shown on the Cars‘ Dashboard, and surprisingly they all work.
You can see your Fuel Usage same as other Functions all working properly.
It definitely annoys me super hard as I always play with HUD turned off in Cockpit View.
Ah well, that’s the price I obviously have to pay for being obsessed with an immersive driving Experience.

Thank you… I’m glad I’m not the only one who literally hates having to make up nearly 30 seconds every race just to have a manic last 2 laps to try and over take the last 3 cars. Absolutely hate this about gt7. Not sure which moron decided that every race is basically a mobile phone racing game.

The fact that your lights switch on when entering a tunnel no matter how short. Switching them off only gets rid of the hud marker for the lights and doesn't stop them coming on at all. If you're really racing you would not be constantly flicking these on and off whilst battling other cars. (Plus I'm not a fan of lights being on in daylight anyway.)
Also where is the car best on the sector times MFD? Only session best now.

Has someone tried the Audi R18 2016 (the Hybrid one) is one of those events with increased fuel consumption and so on ? I spent good money on it thinking I would be the next king of Le Mans, but the car is basically unuseable as if you floor the throttle 3 seconds you run completely out of battery... It completely destroys the car capacities and you end spending 90% of the race with an empty battery , in a heavy, underpowered car... You end up using fuel as much as anyone.
Then you take a Mazda 787 25 years older and thanks to its massive 500 liters tank , you can do 10 laps at power 2.
That annoys me a lot. No to mention that for those 800pp races there are actually few cars that are really usuable . Most tuned cars I tried derived from stock will burn way too much fuel! And you certainly need a dominant better car to be able to catch the Viper and the Castrol Supra.
While I'm at complaining, when can we get championships (or a least races...) for specific set of cars (Italy - 70's 500pp , Germany - 80's 600pp ). How hard can it be to implement that stuff? or simply new content?
