Don't race over Wifi. And if you think your connection isn't robust enough to deal with 50 minute races, don't race at all.what if someone was on Lap 23 of the race and the wi-fi connection went out

Nice job, my goal is to get between a 1'40.500-1'42.000. That would get me a good time near the top of the grid. That is for C/D lobbies. I guess first I'll try the RSR, then the Genesis X Gr. 3 car. I don't think the Supra will be any good here so I may not use it. I see some top drivers got really fast times with it, but they have more years of experience than me. I've never even heard of Hal, that german guy.Got a 1.40.057 at Sardegna

Trying to get into the 39s.
Of course none of this is of any use when a German guy keeps popping up in your lobby, starts in 2nd and keeps hitting you from behind.
4th race (after 3 of these races in a row where he knocked me down to 4th,and span me out twice for a 11th and a 13th) I went nuts and just took him out immediately after he hit me.
Totally worth the 5 second penalty. In my head I said "have that you.....". Still finished 7th even with the penalty 😂😂
They made an excelent endurance race at SPA for the human comedy missions.Whoa... 24 laps over Spa as daily? That may be tough... With such a long track and only 16 cars on the grid it may get empty after few laps when people will spread over track... I could be wrong but smells like quite boring race. IMO 14 laps is max for such a combo, but even that there must be some fun-factor like random weather + strategy alternatives to keep people interested.
You won’t get me anywhere near a 24 lap race 🤣 look forward to hearing about it though24-lap Spa:
If you are not an alien, I recommend changing tires. I was able to keep up with the pack in first 12 laps but I opted not to change tires and I fell back and drove home alone in the latter 12 laps.
Not having weather is disappointing but I can understand PD's decision. My race started with 15 peeps and finished with 15 peeps!
It was nice to return to GT7 after a gap. I had been away playing EA Sports WRC. The return of 1-hr race meant that I had to return to GT7. I don't expect to play a lot this week though, due to lack of weather. But I definitely expect to enjoy every time I play. the 24-lap race is packed with close racing in low-A lobby as long as your tires are in good condition.
Oh, right... I almost forgot that they have brilliant time of day transition system in that game that is barely used. 😉 I would love to have something like wet night to sunny morning online race at Le Mans, that's my little dreams 😁 Hmm... Maybe it's time to create some lobby?They made an excelent endurance race at SPA for the human comedy missions.
Its an hour race with day-night-day transition and random weather.
They missed a big opportunity not replicating that race.
Last week was the first weeks in months where I could just race race race and somehow crash landed in DR A! I feel the same for this week, sardegna is such a racers race, I’m pumped for it 🤣Probably going to spend my time in B this week as I feel that's where I can be the most competitive with early optimals deep in to 1:40 while figuring the sectors out again and using some different cars.
The thing with C to my mind is 2 fold, it's again basically a one make race in the quicker DR lobbies
And secondly if I'm going to race for 2/3 hours being able to do 5/6 with short breaks works better than 1hr stints and managing only 1/2 in that time.
The GTWS I practice for, and know it's at best a 3 shot deal so can usually carve out time but as a daily and even seeing the A+ lobbies have extended lonely racing it just doesn't tick my box but fair play to the peeps who've wanted this sort of thing and getting it for once 🍻
Not as difficult as the Tokyo street track with massive vans weaving everywhere haha!That's the only thing about Sardinia is that it's an extremely difficult place to pass.

once the early spinners are out of the way or left behind there just isn't a lot of clear passing places as it's so flowing and the hairpins so so so slow
Yes you would imagine correctly exactly what I said previously?Yes, but I'd imagine there'll be some races were one or two people end up losing control somehow and end up netting me some free positions.
Cheers. Yeah, pretty solid week. Tried some from the back to begin the week with but I don’t really like the slow second sector at Interlagos, especially with players ahead and behind you with questionable race craft, that sector can become quite a stupid mess. People have a tendency to do the boring defense of parking on the apex there which often leads to incidents. You may read the situation and take avoiding action but the dude behind you probably won’t and then you got that ping pong crashing crap going on. Dreadful stuff. Avoid, avoid, avoid!You've had some good races there this week! Saw you in the distance occasionally👀
You comment on those but not the clean races ratio (which is the one I’m focusing on)? Come on, man! Thanks.Wow, amazing win ratio and amazing top 5 finishes ratio, impressive 👍
Oh, boy. I got a pretty lucky start at race B, from the 16th position.
