Had a good week with mostly clean driving on Kyoto. Did 8 races I think. 6 of them were clean. In one race there was a very dirty driver trying to ram everyone off daring to overtake him. I couldn't avoid him after being close because I wanted to use slipstream. He ended up in front of me with an improvement of his SR...

In one race I got run wide into the grass and lost the car. Dirty driving or poor awareness, I couldn't tell for sure. I was on the outside and maybe should've known better.

Let's see what the new week brings

Uploaded and sharing today's Kyoto P2 podium, to help wipe the taste of that embarrassing P15 out of my mouth. 😤

Do you know why the timers that usually show the gap to the car in front an behind are not working in this video?
 
24 laps of Fuji sounds like hell.
A sprint race at Interlagos really is hell.
Think I'll pass again this week (not sure the Mazda Roadster is a good fit for Daytona either)

When you save a replay after the race, and then record it from the Showcase, it doesn't show the gaps. Only way you can do that is if you "save recent gameplay" or just start recording the screen before the race.

^^ Wow, Daily A is only three laps.

And I do like how PD are finally getting away from the RH only on Gr3 cars. They still overuse the RH tires, IMO, but at least we're seeing some RM races on a somewhat consistent basis as well.

So Gr4 at Interlagos, 5 laps, RH
Gr3 at Fuji, weather, 24 laps, 45+ mins race

I'll stick to Race B this week even though I'm not that fond of Interlagos, but it's probably a good time to learn it properly :D

Surprising to have another Gr4, look forward to it!
 
Race A has the potential to be one of the best daily races we've ever had, the cars are fun, challenging to drive and race well with the slipstream but then they make it only 3 laps, it's frustrating because its so close to perfection.
 
Edit: A quick 1:38.900 now lol at Interlagos. Should be enough to qualify top 3 at least. Couple more attempts will get into the mid 8s.

First and last corners are absolutely crucial to nail a good time.

First S bend, brake just before the 50m mark, trail brake into the corner, maintain part throttle until you have fully rotated the car and facing forwards then immediately full throttle powering out of the S bend.

Last corner is an off camber turn that often catches a lot of people off causing understeer onto the grass.

Brake slightly before the 50m mark, down into second, off the throttle and coast into the corner. Mid corner entry upshift into 3rd gear and power through.

You can lose or gain up to a second just from that last corner alone depending on how you approach it.

Kinda worried PD is going to Nerf race C like they have in the past. Time required shows 25mins, which is obviously not true. Hopefully they don't reduce the number of laps during the week and the error is in the estimated time.

I guess it's going to be dependent on the player telemetry they monitor like numbers of users, length of sessions, number of races, number of people doing races they normally wouldn't etc.

I'd imagine the main indicator would be participation and number of races (engagement) vs shorter format and fixed conditions...

I think you're giving PD way too much credit.

Personally speaking I would expect folks to be more turned off by Fuji rather than race duration and weather. The final sector of Fuji is just horrible to drive.


But PD’s takeaway will probably be lack of engagement is due to duration/weather.
 
Not had a chance to fire up the PS5 yet...
Thankfully seems no 'tuning' is needed this week?

Shame C isn't limited to just the 3 JGTC cars. Seems an obvious choice and would be very fun for a little mix-up.

This is exactly some of the frustration I have with PD—they’re so limited in their thinking. I love your suggestion. I’ve often thought it’d be ace to have an 80s Ferrari vs Porsche vs Lambo daily race (bring back those childhood poster vibes), E30 vs 90e, Group C event, and so on. Really get into some specific themes, plus it should be easier to BOP races with a much smaller amount of variables.

But alas, PD wheel out the same old Gr.4 and 3 races, time and time again. Have we even ever had a start to finish wet race or night race?

Yes! 24-lap Fuji. I did not expect PD to bring back a long race so quickly after 20-lap Spa!

Fingers crossed for two things that:
1. 24 lap is not a mistake, like Talon said. I still hate the memory of Le Mans laps getting cut in half the other week.
2. I get more wet races. Majority of my 20-lap Spa races were dry.

Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: Truth in 24​

The Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races have cycled to a new set for the new week, with three more races running every 20-30 minutes across the next seven days...

just awesome that they have a guy that knows nothing about gran turismo writing these articles
 
Between doing more outside/home project stuff, focusing on the TTs and wanting to complete more of the single-player side so I've completed 100% of the game, I've been looking for reason to not do sports.

Thanks PD for considering me. This week is 🤮. I'll skip it thanks very much.
