Referring to Race C, but actually more general question:

does the concept of dirty wheels after grass excursion exists in the Gt7 physics?
is it a configurable paramenter in the race options?
if it does exist, how long the "wheels cleanup" takes?

Thanks

Yes, it definitely exists, for both grass and sand. I don't know the answer to the rest of your questions.

Suzuka AGAIN!? It was a TT a few weeks ago, a TGR race a few days ago, a Manu race in two weeks, Daily B this week, and Daily C next week.

Race B might be okay. The other two.........

We will race them, with varying amounts of fever no doubt.

But my god PD. That Prius race that is upcoming.....

Imagine a daily B at the short brands circuit with Clio's or golf's or scirrocos something really grass roots, think club sport stuff hell even caymans.

I know you can do it. We don't mind one make races if they are creative and fun. Not sweaty grind fests!!!

Edit

Race room and daily office (shared with the wife) is getting there. Just my motorsport art to go up and the new GT Omega office chair tomorrow....I cleverly cropped the tumble dryer out 🤣

A one-make race with the glorious MP4/4 should be awesome

Normally I'd disagree and say it's definitely SF23s, but PD do out of character things on big automotive anniversaries/race dates sometimes; I could absolutely see a Senna 30th anniversary tribute MP4/4 race as a thing they'd do.

Though they won't say that's what they're doing; they'll just present the race as normal.

Thanks, you actually replaied to the main question.
It happens to me to nail another 1-2 errors in consecutive turns after a trip off road.
Part of them are definitely on my sense of urge to recover, but some then may be due to fact take the incoming turns as if I didn't exit

Struggled to get my Race C QT down to 1:19.164 in the NSX (my Circuit Experience was a Silver 1:19.653, with Gold sectors). Ah well. Time to jump in with the sharks and sink or swim. Or get eaten, as I was soon to find out.*

Race 1: Started P11. Had an unforced error going into T1, and dropped back into P16 (last). Borked the pit entry on Lap 7 and collected a penalty. Failed to make up ground, got lapped by P1 at the start of Lap 12 - which mercilessly cut my race down by a lap - and finished P12 (last, after people quit)

Race 2: Started P10. Tried to avoid a Lap 1 incident at the 2,3,4 chicane, and got pushed into a lazy spin and into P15 (last). Barely avoided another pit lane penalty on Lap 7. Finished P11.

Race 3: Started P13. Got caught trying to avoid more Lap 1 chicane shenanigans, got shoved around a bit, and fell to P16 (last). Finished P11.

My pace was so poor that I'm surprised only one person lapped me. Decided to call it a day with a slightly lower C/S rating.

Similar situation here. My wife has occupied half of my music/racing/movie room and does unthinkable things there, like, err... working.🫣

Utterly disgusting.
 
I have mixed feelings about my last race. Until I drop down to DR B I won't be very competitive. So starting P8 and finishing P15 is a good way to quicken the decline. However, having to drive the last 3 1/2 laps all by myself in DFL place kind of sucks, especially because I have noone to blame but myself.

And... you win the "cluttered workspace" award. Still cool, though. :cheers:
 
God damn I absolutely despise suzuka with Gr4 cars. This really shows the limitations of no adjustable fov with this track. My wheel is out of commission so I'm forced to use motion controls and I'm sitting far back on my lounge. This is the only track I struggle with in term of corner perception. Assets Corsa or similar sims are fine because I can adjust my fov and I'm able to judge corners perfectly.

Gr4 cars are abysmal to use on this track you need constant momentum and be going fast enough for the downforce to be in effect, if you don't carry enough momentum then you will understeer.

Best I could do with motion controls is 1:8:589.

I'm usually in the top 50 but always struggle with suzuka. It's my Achilles hill.

The problem is that the bench has become the black hole of projects.
It’s like a phycology project. If we place a project and a steering wheel on the same bench, which one will he choose. 🤔

It's a labour of love and all about evolution ;)

Wife decided we shouldn't use the dining table for racing :(

I'll show her!

Upgrade! (Sadly none with the TGT2)
IMG_8068.jpeg


And finally she had enough and after years...I got relegated (happily) to the utility room/box room/tiny home office. Win!

The moral of this story is that we are all passionate racers who will go to all sorts or creative lengths to go racing 😉

There's no way that's a real office. There's not enough crap around. THIS is a real office:

Wow, that is huge!! Is that yours? I'll have to post a picture of my room at a later time, it's big too. Now we live in an apartment, not a regular house. Cool spacious area there in California.

@Jflijohn don't worry, my place is somewhat cluttered and a mess too, but we're all not perfect. I need to buy a new shark navigator vacuum so I can tidy our apartment up.

It is mine, but it's not that huge. I used "panorama" mode in my iPhone to capture that image.

@Jflijohn - I hope I didn't imply that cuttered is a bad thing. I live my life that way - inside and outside my mind!
 
You can see half my office on any GTP video with me in it, but the bit the camera can't see is:

I've added some more soundproofing tiles and mounted the mic on an arm on the wall since the images too.

Yes, both screens are on gas arms, so I can place them however I want - the left one either in front of the rig for driving or towards the office chair for transcribing things from game to article (like Daily Race specs). The PS5 base also lights up purple, because of course it does.

The desk is scratch-made and has a tunnel at the rear for all the cabling. You can see a hole in the top in the foreground: there's one at each of the three stations, and one underneath facing outward at each station, so all the relevant cables go in and out of those.

Matches my underwear.

I was going to go with standard, boring, square, grey Toblerone tiles, but I figured if I was going to be looking at it all the time why not be interesting. They're also relatively cheap, and I don't really need pro quality stuff.

I think this is secretly every wife's thought about our hobby. Pretty certain they only put up with it as they know we aren't out on the town cheating on them. Meanwhile they can go out on the town and cheat on us and we'll never notice! :D

This reminds me of the days sitting on a couch using a folding table with an old Logitech Driving Force Pro (and then GT). It was not very stable....

And if we are showing set ups then this is my current one.

It's all way too serious for my lack of talent! :D

My office is smaller than @GrumpyOldMan but it is equally chaotic!

Haven't spent any time racing though recently. Wisconsin is finally getting into summer mode so spending my time outside instead after a long winter in the basement.

To avoid any further embarrassment, I won't post any foto from the part of my former man-cave which isn't under hostile occupation yet. But here's an exemplary presentation of my racing equipment:

My steering device:

My racing seat (okay, the colour is different)

My tailor-made high-tec footrest (I can't race with my feet on the ground 😇)

Examples for my specialized anti-dehydration device and my racing eyesight-enhancing equipment are also to be seen here.
