Finally got a win this week and at RBR which is super surprising at it’s not my strongest track/car combo.

Also got my QT down to 1.29.1xx and 1.28 would be an achievable .

Got to love a 3 star win

Hello, if you're interested, I've uploaded my first video. Don’t know if i do it o.k. but i try.
Race in VR2 Grand Valley B/S. Start at P9, ends P8. I think if I had been able to overtake and hadn't swerved on lap 3, it could have been even better. Maybe some experts have tips for improvement.


Mate that would sell me on VR! 🤣

Thanks for sharing it looks amazing

I’ll have to invest at some point
 
First chance to race since Thursday. I managed to get hold of a nearly new T300RS GT today for very little money, I kept my own T3PM pedals as they are better than the ones that came with it. Anyway, what a difference. I immediately knocked nearly 1 second off my C qt time on my first lap. Won this by 25 seconds, happy with that 👌👌👌

Edit: 2nd win in the bag.

Race 1 time: 20:45.808
Race 2 time: 20:45.627

I am consistent at least 😅😅😅🙈

Anyone else think the penalties at RBR have been toned down quite a bit? They seem much more reasonable now; specifically at T1 and T9. No more is it "WTH!!?" and more like "Yea, I probably deserved that."

Perhaps. Could just be placebo after seeing your post but the last couple of days I’ve managed to keep my clean race bonus more often than earlier in the week where I would lose it to track limits embarassingly often. Could just as well be that I’ve found a better flow (I’m pretty bad at Red Bull Ring, tbh, it’s a track I find quite poor). Borderline moments before resulted in a fail I feel and now they’re okay. Sooo... maybe.

Speaking of keeping CRB intact, I had this moment yesterday, kept it :D:
 
Congrats for beating the meta with it. Crazy how fast you were in it (I know A+ but still). Also win with it while getting a couple of penalties also is ridicoulus 😅
Haha cheers, was quite the challenge. I'll upload the qualifying lap somewhere as it was that, that really helped. I had to literally maximise width of the track and staying in the power band in 3rd gear to get anywhere near a 1:28
 
Will admit that I didn't spend too much time on GT7 this week but the time I was doing Race B, was not exactly fun... After figuring out some things, I went down to a 1:56:6 on main account, which had me start around P10 - 12 in the 3 races I did. All of them ended in me being wiped out and finishing below my starting position.

Having almost gave up, I just set a quick time on 2nd account about 45 min ago, starting the race in an impressive P16 😂 At least this time, I wasn't wiped out, made up 5 positions during the race (was up to P10 by lap 3) and finished in P11 to end the week somewhat positively



Any clue what the races are as of tomorrow?
 
A: The Racing Kart - 5 Laps🤣
B: Group 4 - 5 laps
C: Group 3 - 10 Laps with mandatory Soft and Medium tires

Race A will be great 🤣🤣
Race C, no wallbanging penalties! Will that change when everyone works out how to wall ride? Or doesn't it work there?

I have noticed if a car ahead does give the walls a good knock over the mountain, damage can then make them vulnerable to a pass down Conrod.
 
Probably a stupid question:
Race C: There is no mandatory pit, right? So first race, I pit anyway but get a 1 minute penalty. Second race, I don’t pit, and still get a one minute penalty. Obviously there is something that I am completely unaware of…🤷🏼‍♂️

You need to use both the soft and medium tires.

@MetalApe No wall penalties? Damn.. don't need a wallride heaven 😒

OH MY.. I did not expect Daily Race A to be this much fun (exept for the grid start with check).

How do you start fast with those? Tried TC2 like in the Super Formula cars but the kart wouldn't get going 🤣


edit: Ok TC0 will do just fine at the start 🤣

edit2: so sometimes it goes off with TC 0 / 1 and sometimes it stalls. I don't get it 🤣

Well this should be an even more fun week. The go-karts are back and the setting is at Eiger. Yay, Ardegna's back too!

Why is PD repeating the Group 3 cars at Bathurst? We just had this combo a while back. I must be real super tired. I went to bed at 2:30pm and slept 15 hours.

I have done so much the past 7 months in gt7. I agree with what NAXEHT said about Race A. We should be able to buy our own karts and customize it any way we want.

Karts e. Alright I'm fine with that. Will see how this goes.
And turns out I'm having fun with it although the DR levels on the grids I'm in are iffy as usual and I'm playing on the 16:00-18:00 session but still the combo itself is fun.

Gran Turismo® 7_20240902164956.png


Was able to do 5 sessions and as soon as I hit the high 1:09 qualifying time, it was pole position throughout the sessions I did but there was one session where the player in second kept me in check throughout the race and it was kind of close overall.





What’s up with race A limited to specified car and not open to the kart in your garage? It makes no sense.

Also I agree with this. It's a shame because I made a kart livery for kart dailies like this.

Kinda like the tire options at the mountain this week. I’ve often wanted them to affect tire usage with the multiplier, rather than regulations. So, a nice change of pace.

..that mountain is going to be interesting coming down the back side. Yesterday, at gv, someone decided to wreck me with a traditional door banging. However, with the unfinished physics patch, and after a couple hard bangs with a wall on the other side to help, this resulted in me getting big…big air. Like, i saw this jokers roof.

That was fun in vr.. 😂
