I'm loving driving at Eiger so far, had a grandstand view of @GOTMAXPOWER v's @Tidgney this morning as they went past on the way to a 1-2

Which car you need to use at daily race C? I cannot see it properly on my screen on the GTSH page. It looks like a formula / open wheel car?
Took some time to get used to the new physics. Did a lot of the licenses. Didn't actually unlock the master licenses before due to my utter failure of coping with the dirt physics. Since the update I can drive slightly better on dirt. So had some fun with the master licenses. Almost done with that.
Maybe now back to some sport mode racing this week. Don't know if I own the car for daily race C. Let's see tonight if I maybe have some time to try things out.

So Daily C is seven laps around a track that takes, let's say 75 seconds; and Daily B is five laps around a track that takes about two mins. Thus, Daily B is a longer race than Daily C? And I am assuming, C is still every 30 mins start time? So you start a C at the top of the hour, and nine minutes later you need to wait 20 mins for the next race?

That is correct 🤣
What is even worse (not by much) is even maxing DD torque the steering is sooooo light.
Genuinely think pad users are gonna find this one at least initially easier than wheel users.

Yeah I've maxed everything in the game and the wheel, and it's still way too light - then tried the same settings on Suzuka and it weighs a ton. Tried the SF cars and it's also far too light til there's some downforce on.
I'll have to have different sets stored for each car class for now.
Still, C is an enjoyable combo (not tried a race yet though, so my opinion may change 🤣 )

Not quite,when you add on the loading screen, a minute of warmup and waiting for everybody to finish and the cash to be awarded, etc it's just about too late to make it into the next race A or B. It should be 6 laps or 16 in my opinion.
I feel like it's one of those races where your enjoyment depends on those around you, if you're surrounded by donkeys 4 hairpins in a row sounds like a recipe for disaster.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:
Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: Eiger Counter
The latest set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races are now available and feature content added in the 1.49 update, a tie-in race for the upcoming World Series event in Prague, and the opportunity to earn six times more credits than usual...

Ok, so it's not just me then. I made a comment in the TT thread after doing Spa in this car that the FFB was way lower than any other car I've driven since the update. (I've heard the SF cars are way low as well, which seems bass ackwards.)
Road cars feel great; Gr3/4 cars feel great. This Honda is like 10% of the FFB those cars are getting. I am not about to redo all my FFB settings around this 272 so I just deal with it.
Time Trial Discussion
My first wet TT! Given how much I suck on wet track I doubted whether I could even Gold this one. Though it turned out way better than I thought - maybe the v1.49 physics helped with a much better feel of the grip level and slip on wets? Was in Top 100 when I did the lap but I would be happy...

Can't wait to see what this week holds, hoping good things come in three's...Spa and Trial Mountain were amazing so fingers crossed for Suzuka.😁
Not sure where this is coming from but ended-up on the podium for every race I ran from Friday - Sunday. No offs, crashes or punts with nothing more than a rub here and there. Lo-and-behold, I finally made it:
Knew I was getting up there but wasn't watching TOO closely. When I started a race ranked 'A' and finished 'A+' I about fell off the couch.
I know this is gonna be like fishin' where that plus sign is a catch-n-release thing, but it feels good to cross that line regardless.👍

Geez. I had too much faith in PD, and had thought that they will give the Race C extra laps to make it at least 20 minutes long, even though it is a replica of a Nations Cup race.
Why give it a Race C slot? Why not give it A or B instead? Now we have no long race this week.

It's going to be a tough as Daily B is going to be stacked.
Its a bit controversial having both a Rally race and an acquired taste race in the track, the 60 era car and comfort softs as well.

I'll get into Daily Race C tomorrow but the first thing I tried was Daily Race A due to the new rally physics and right off the bat I love it.
Have so much control on the Impreza so much that I was able to not hesitate in pushing the car to its limits.
I only managed to do two sessions for today but in both of those sessions I was happy with how the rally physics were.
First session - Immediately got on pole position and never looked back as the physics gave me that confidence to drive the Impreza freely. I did get some barrier collision penalties but at that point my gap was so big that I can accept some mistakes here and there.
Second session - Once again with the pole position but I managed to improve my quali time to a 1:57.5 and just like the last one, I was on a roll due to the new rally physics.

Definitely looking forward to at least qualifying for Race C this week, but I admit I’m a little worried about things getting a bit chaotic, considering the course. Then again, the one time I did Race C when the credits were last boosted at Watkins Glen, it went amazingly well.

PD is bound and determined to waste literally every single opportunity to use this car. First it was only using it in pointless Race A, then another sub-10-minute race in Nation's, and now a sub-10-minute Race C without even the basic decency to shorten the intermission between races. Oh and of course it's a rolling start too, in keeping with Grand Prix tradition...🙄
I assume with the 600% credit increase, this is another World Finals event clone? At least the aliens have to suffer this pointlessness again too...

Hi, How do you track your DR like this?Mission accomplished. My goal was to get from DR E to DR B in one week. Actually I didn't start the week that way but as I started to see results in the VR and finding cars I liked, I gained a new love for Trial Mountain and decided to see if I could get to B. Honestly, before the VR I preferred the reverse version of the track but with the newly found depth perception and perhaps the physics change, I found all the twists and turns seemed much more reasonable. Still, I had a few ups and down (ahem five) in the week. As a result it took 21 races to get there including 3 DR E races where the DR does not count (I did two DR E last week for the requisite initial 5).
The last race was a mix of B and C racers and I was in 7th to start. I was thinking that might be trouble but as I am finding that as I can race to my QT pace now, it actually wasn't that bad progressing up the board to finish 3rd. I think a lot of these racers fall into my old m.o. which was QT by chasing a ghost and then not being able to drive to that in race. That's my advantage now, but now I am in B I'll have to come to terms with starting more mid pack if I'm not going to chase that rabbit.

I'm done for the week. That was a lot of racing. The VR is still so cool I want to do more but I really should do real things in reality for what is left of the weekend.
