I'm surrounded by Glens! Or people who are confused what they want to be, but especially not "a Glen" 😂

Reminds me to add you on my UK Alt 🤣

I have to much racing to do so spreading it around a bit, leave me alone! 😝

And shockingly, one of them (assuming the annoying one) is a whole half second faster than me!? 🫨😂 All jokes aside, nice one @newmedia_dev !

I stopped setting better times before it got to hard for you to try and catch...

How has the actual race been this week for C, is it interesting? Haven't tried yet as injured my foot on Saturday and only have been mostly comfy today..

In growing toenails are so painful. That will teach you for living in a hot country and wearing flip flops all the time!

The racing is largely good but it's kept close by the custom slip stream.

Yeah I was thinking about that, 7 laps seems perfect really, but I’ll probably just end up leaving it until the weekend, although your video in the ford looks fun

It's well worth doing just for the experience and it's like you say the Goldilocks of length and pretty balanced cars (well 3 of them at least)

Just for your information, I don't have toes, I'm a minotaur 🤣🐮 I did however, manage to get a small fracture in my foot and bruise my tendons, which is absolutely terrific and lovely... ⚰️🤐👴🏻

Mostly cats round these parts if I remember right, or that might be the crowd over in the time trial post.

@TechnoIsLove So what strategic methods do you have up your sleeve at Maggiore? I have had a difficult time on this track since my debut in GT sport back in 2021. There are too many turns and corners that I have to remember and get my rhythm right at. I got a time in the 2'00.000's but there is still room for improvement. Take care and message me back asap.

Hey! I don't think I have done a lap at Maggiore this week, over it as it's been featured once a month this year lol

I said to @brockie earlier, just can't muster any enthusiasm to race it. Did a few sighting laps and I'm like...nah

I get the tracks are limited but the car choices could be mixed up a bit like A and C this week. No way perfect but something different and relatively current/iconic cars.

 

[Tazzy-91]

How do you rate Race C in terms of enjoyment and carnage?
It looks quite interesting and

Just done my first 2 races of the week, first was brilliant, very clean. The second was an absolute disgusting show of all that's wrong with this game. Just carnage and pure deliberate too. I'm going to do 1 more now and if it goes the same way I'm done for the week 🤬🤬

 

[Tazzy-91]

Well, 2 more done at the Glen. First 1 I started 5th and immediately gained a spot off the line, caught the slipstream lovely and got shafted by the guy behind going into the bus stop 🤬🤬 back down to 12th and was going to quit but I kept going. Made good ground and finished 4th. Second race was going brilliant, having a really good race with a German guy for 1st and 2nd...he pushed hard but very fair. Unfortunately for me I forgot I'm still getting used to not using TCS and I made a complete b*locks of it coming off turn 1 and spun 🙈🤣 Anyway, I nearly quit again but kept going to finish 7th. 1 more try and I must eat something!!

 

[Dan_Tes]

Hi friends! I had a break from racing over the weekend and did some fun family/friend stuff. Back today with the new races; Race C looks fun but too many variables as i continue on my quest to get up to DR A!

Lago Maggiore was a bit of a nightmare to begin with: three races today but they got better and better. Started all on pole (just call me Mr Saturday 🤣) but first race got a horrible shunt going into turn two that put me out. I’ve been waiting to ‘rejoin’ when I or someone spins me but am I invisible when I’m there? It’s ruining my race in terms of position but I want to try and hold on to SR S if I can!

Second race was going well as I was out in front setting fast laps but I really awkward bounce through the Esses mid lap caused me to spin, recovered to 9th with not some of my finest driving but it was enough.

Third race was great, some really really fast DR B drivers in second and third, I got overtaken after a mistake at T1 but regained the place when P1 went into the gravel at banky boy! Held him off for the win. Very happy with my pace and race management 😁

 

[benjoi84]

Not sure where you are racing but, in the C lobby, I race everyone very hard down both straights and then completely back out, there are quite a few drivers that would rather beat you down the straight than actually slow down and make the turns, very strange mindset in my opinion. I make very few racing passes for position, my biggest advances are usually forcing mistakes. I also see no point in passing someone who has a penalty flag, they are usually angry, I just drive through their ghost.

My main point was that people mostly seem like they don't want to survive the first sector of this 7 lap race. Risky behaviour all round, and not much a conservative driver can do to help or to protect themselves.

Maybe I just need more practice, and/or not be so quick to judge based on Monday lobbies.

Meh, you are forcing me to do more quali laps. Your were my only PS friend who had a lap time, so I had to beat you before I jump into the races
Now I have to beat you again, tougher now…

Glen is haunting the top of my friend board as well

 

[Chris30]

You know what, screw Maggiore, I'm not doing it this week.

@Dan_Tes hey man, what races did you choose to do this week?

Ya, I’m the same M.O. I give up a lot of position in the first sector to survive a long race. That’s another good thing about those races that have a required pit stop, sometimes you can get it out of the way early to get out of phase with the back markers.
That’s also why a lot of the A drivers here recommend spending time qualifying well, to get yourself in front of that initial mess.

 

[Chris30]

I hope you had a safe vacation with your family and relatives. @Dan_Tes

And awesome win, I saw the screenshot. I'll be focusing on having pure fun during each race.

 

[ShiftingGears]

It's the length it is because that's the length of the real thing.

View attachment 1369095

Be happy: usually the public event is shorter than the real thing.

So make it Race B.

Then no-one needs to justify why players should be happy with the longest race of the week being sub-14 minutes because it could've been even shorter.

 

[TheNormsk]

Did some TT on daily A. I kind of like short track sessions. But there are bugger all people trying this, this week.

If I’m 175th global that means no one is giving this much attention.

 

[Tuning_Maniac]

How do you rate Race C in terms of enjoyment and carnage?
It looks quite interesting and unusual

It is great, very fun because you'll always be in or near a group of cars that are as fast as you so it really comes down to avoid making mistakes and driving clean.
I've done quite some races already and have not yet seen a race with carnage.
Yes there are the occasional pile ups, but for what I've seen it's just because everyone is so close to each other. If one messes up and suddenly goes of and bounces back on track, yeah then you have carnage. But on purpose? Haven't seen that happen yet.

Which is a shame because it's a great race. Really good fun.

I have, in every race I tried. But mostly unintentional, and I had my fair share. 😅

But it's a good race, too. Finally some variety. The races feel very different, depending of which lobby you're in. On my practice account (B/S) I have been able to go from the back to finish on or near the podium. On my main account I have no chance against the really quick guys.😬

 

[Famine]

So make it Race B.

That's not within my list of powers and abilities.

Hi all,

After months of "secretly" reading this thread, I decided to register myself. Maybe we will meet at the daily races. After improving with your tricks en tips, I'm jumping between C & B. Depending on my play-time to learn the track and car.

This week racing DR C and most of the time improving...

Cheers!

Me too, long time lurker reading the thread but after what i think is an enjoyable Race C with some clean driving on the whole signed up to contribute.

Hanging in on DR B just with SR S so might see you on the track, loving using the F40 to try and outdo the RX and LFA meta even if i slip down a few places and lose some DR.

Cheers.

 

[Dan_Tes]

Welcome lurkers! Happy racing to you both!

Quick update, DR A achieved 🤩 I won another race last night but all B/S drivers; this morning it was a lobby with a mix of A and B and despite some serious lap one pressure I managed to hold on for another victory and my promotion to DR A/S 😎 mission accomplished!!

 

[Chris30]

Hey, I'm going out of town so I won't be back until Saturday morning, I'm going to South Carolina, I have a friend that has a house there so I'm taking a hiatus from gt7 and the daily races. They will still be here when I return. Nice job @Dan_Tes on the A rank!

check your Friends Ranking again :-) Races were quite chaotic for me so far, nothing unfair but still lots of crashes.

 

[Chris30]

Ok, I'm going to bed, cya all this weekend, happy daily racing!! I hope I can have some peace and fresh air. It's not good staying cooped up in the house 24/7.

 

[Charmantha]

@Fezzik you would think being slow and cautious in the shorter races would help us win, but it depends on the skill level of each player. I'm surprised that my SR has stayed at an S rank for most of the time. Because I'll make a habit of accidentally running into someone by not paying attention or driving too fast.

Two weeks ago. I spend the whole nice racing, restyling some cars.. The morning race around 5,i slept in during the race for a few seconds. I was in 5th position, after the nap last, I hope I didnt drive over a squirrel or something
