Is not a game problem, my bet is on dirty potentiometers.
I had the G923 and I had to disasemble them at least once a year to clean the dust.

Yes, I have to clean mine once a year - easy job though, and they're as good as new once you've done it.

Race B for me I think this week, but I'll be behind the curve as I think Wednesday will be the first chance I get to try it!
 
pff made it in to A rank did not expect it to happen in this race been taken out in the first corner but just don't wanna quit races so this turns out 👍 p4 p16 and finally p2 ...1 guy did not pit i think 😋

Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: Competition Time​

Fresh off the back of a frantic weekend of competition in the Gran Turismo World Series World Finals, a new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races is now available...

I don't think I've driven the Radical in a while, and I do enjoy the Glen, so I think that'll be a blast!
 
First of all, changing my wheel settings have made a huge difference in the laps I ran last week and today. It's great when the car goes where I want it to when I turn. Second, I'll be focusing on race B this week as I'm not a fan of the other cars for race A and C. I got what I think a decent time so far with a 1:36.1XX in the META BMW.

So, I decided to jump into a race and I'm P5 on the grid. I lost 1 spot in when I made a mistake in the fast esses after the first hairpin and didn't have a safe way to defend my position, and just let them get by so we didn't lose time to the leaders. Nothing much happened after that and I finished P6 with a clean race bonus and a boost of confidence that I needed.
 
Snuck in some more seat time for a quick QT session. Chose the Radical after whipping up a livery.

Race A: SR3 SL - 2:03.884 Got my oversteer issues out of Turn 7 sorted, and improved my exits out of Turn 1 and 11. I might have a tenth or two left in me?

Too bad the races weren't a lap or two longer. Could've been a banger.
 
Has anyone done race C yet? I don't want to do it. I just want to know how bad it is...

I've had some some good fun at race A today.
I had a few too many beers, and got sloppy, though.
@Talon16 thanks for the races. :)

You raced with Talon? Cool. I bet you didn't save any of the replays. If you didn't, that's fine. I just wanted to watch some entertainment since I can't join in on the fun at the moment, however my ps5 was delivered at almost 5pm this afternoon. Thankfully the rain had stopped two hours before that. I don't like alcohol, beer tastes bad IMO.

I just finished in a mixed C/D group. To get a feel for it, I planned to start without a QT and hang out around the back and stay out of trouble. Started P11 and finished P6 due to quitters. Got a nice DR and SR bump and some experience handling that beast of a car in a "maze of twisty little passages."

see post little bit above 😅 its ...hope to get a good start and run away from ... did 3 races and 5th/9th and finally second but every race there is contact in that first lap ...it was day 1 so hope it gets better 😋
 
Only did some practice laps on Kyoto so far. Was frustrated by how slippery the track / tires combo is. Couldn't get a time below the 1:35 yet because of it. A 1:34:5 should be possible for me, but it's easy to lose time on this track.

Enjoyed a race with @newmedia_dev this morning

"Battle with Glen at The Glen"

Genuinely love it. Still in the top 50 as well 😍 (Yes I know it's only race A!)

Thanks bud! Love seeing forumites online in my lobby. First grand slam for me in a while as well... Makes a change me being quicker than you! 7.8 seconds ahead of 2nd over 3 laps is insane though? Maybe it was the oil change and car wash I did just before 🤣

Now improved and up to qualy rank 35.... But that's probably it for a couple of days, working away from later this morning until Thurs afternoon so I'm gonna miss out on any more fun for a bit 😭

I can't believe the negativity to race C this week, it's goddamn awesome flying around the Ring that fast. If an old'un like me has the reaction speed to handle it, you young'uns have no excuse.

The least they could do is try to race on it for a day and test their skills instead of insinuating that they can't do a lap fast enough. At least make an effort instead of complaining. I'm guilty too but I try to change my attitude to a positive one.

@ElectricNaz congrats on your victory! I know how that moment feels!

That's an awfully high horse you've got on there, all things considered.

I hate driving the X2019. I hate driving the Nordschleife. Put them together and I hate it more. Add in 15 other people, most of whom have no idea about clean overtakes or racing room, in twitchy wasp cars on a six-yard wide track and I'd rather line the inside of my foreskin with 40-grit sandpaper and go for a jog. Can't stand jogging.

Why would I want to give up my free time (limited as it is) for that?

But sure, pontificate a bit more.
 
I’m enjoying race B this week, that’s a proper racing circuit and the group 3 is well suited to it.

Cant seem to keep control of the BM but the GTR looks good, think I’m going to stick with that as I keep overdriving the Porsche

I have to agree. I love the nurb, but i DETEST the x2019. I always have. I subscribe to the notion that driving slow cars fast is more fun than driving fast cars slow. The faster the car, the less fun it is. If this were an endurance race with Citroens, I'd be all up in there.

I would like to add to that the comment about clean overtakes, the faster the car, the more likely that there is some noodle behind the wheel, causing even more chaos. I had plenty of that two weeks ago at Le Mans.

I can't normally cope with the BM, but it seems OK for me this week - knocked 0.5 secs off the QT I set with the Genesis.

First time in weeks that I've used the meta for a Daily!

The good thing about race C is the noodle's can't set qualifying times to be up the front, just get through the first corner and don't spin in the first half a lap and you'll never interact with the noodles.

The only point where the x2019 is unstable is putting the power down out of the slow corners, once the downforce is there it's well planted. You just need the precision steering to keep it on track going through fast corners.

Oh, I forgot about that. :embarrassed:
It wasn't intentional. The honks didn't mean anything. I was just working the left stick too hard.

All good, I was getting a kick out of it.

This was fun. Four of us (Sturk in the brown/black car) going into the bus stop on the last lap. No contact, no deaths... everyone drove really well.

Loving race A this week. Lot's of good close racing. Especially great in VR with the HUD off. I was the guy in the blue helmet.
