Nice mate, I'll have a go at that race tonight.
Thanks for posting, give the others ago.

The biggest trips begin with only one step,the first one.
Happy kilometres or mils to everyone.

 

[bjl23]

After a couple of mid pack disaster races I finally broke free to get a clean run in.
19:37.062

Can definitely shave of 10 seconds with a bit more practice.

 

[bjl23]

My 2nd attempt, such a fun race.

Damn , can't wait the time to join the company.
Although i have to admit that playing with the little George upstairs isn't " easy" the gt7 and way different from what i use till now.
The online part we haven't " touch" it yet so i don't know it at all.
Hope to make it ( God first ) at the Christmas holidays ......

The physics are so different to gt6, I pretty much had to start form scratch.
The online races are good, your qualifying time/position makes a huge difference to your race time.

What is the difference in the physics??????????????? I am asking as all I have seen is super bad bumper car driving!!!! They can't even drive in a straight line.....LOL!

Mainly the cars handling and most cars are near impossible to drive without traction control turned on.

I mean that’s not accurate. Haven’t turned TCS on the entire time the game has been out. Just control your throttle inputs and you’ll not only be way faster, but 100% more consistent.

You are using a wheel or a pad ?
Whatever you use anyway and from my very short experience from gt7 ( from a 10 years old kid who owns a ps4 and i get him as a present the game) you must be in another " league" from us .
Don't know if you're interesting to join or you just pass ,but definitely your presence here could be valuable for the rest .

As for me ,can't imagine my self especially on rain conditions with out TC from what i have run till now.

Wheel user. I’d gladly tag along in a lobby with you. I’m pretty damn far from being in another league by the way. I know my place in the pecking order, which is why I know for a fact tcs is never a necessity.

Race A, 10:36.865. Could've been a few seconds quicker but tbh with 2nd 33 seconds behind I was a bit zoned out.

The easiest way to learn how to race without TCS is to first race a lot of FWD cars with no TCS…you really don’t need it as it’s almost impossible to spin.

Then get a good AWD vehicle and get used to that at like 40/60 and slowly over time backing it off to 10/90 5/95

If you can’t drive manual you will probably need to learn that to drive RWD cars to their full potential

This isn’t to come off as I’m so good either. 3 months ago I was using TCS and an automatic and could barely drive RWD cars.

I just kept working at it and practicing and it led to a lot of improvement. So much so that last night I won my Nations Cup race using the RWD radical against mostly rank B drivers but also some rank A in the GT2 class

Congrats on the nation's win.

I always used TC but when I started the CHALLENGE HUB for GT6 a few guys there tort me how to drive with no TC and I never looked back. I never played GTS so when I got GT7 I turned TC off straight away, but when I drove a FR car for the first time it was horrible so I turned TC on.

Thank you! Tune is the one shared by the very talented @praiano63 here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/praianos-tunes-settings-for-gt7.404868/page-158#post-13813126

Just with the power etc. tweaked as I am running with the Z4 engine swap, not the stock engine.

 

[bjl23]

The new set of daily races has just started, so get in here and post your times and compare them against other people.

 

[bjl23]

Did a few daily A races tonight and this was my best result.

Big thank you to @praiano63 for his tune and @Dumfries for saying about turning off TC on FF cars, I shaved off over 1 second on my test first lap.

Give it a month or so and I’m sure you’ll find yourself with no TCS on any car. Corner exit speed is just so important

Have you tried any of the new daily races?
