Noticed that one of my wishes was implemented in today's patch, as minor as it was. Practice laps/ qualy time laps in Sport Mode now count as genuine miles and add to the tally, including daily workout. Yey, a win 🤔

I don't know how you squeeze a time out of the 911 and it was my favourite GT7 car when the game first came out. I tend to dive into the corners a bit and it gets the wobbles, I just bought a 911 IRL so getting used to the pendulum but it feels exaggerated in the game. We run the same livery
Tried the Jag last night in Race C, good for 6 laps then the rears lost that bit of grip and I went from 31's in clear air to 33's. Went back to the Z4 and ran 30's in the last 3 laps.
A few things to touch on re. earlier notes in this thread. I agree 100pc that guys losing it under acceleration don't lose anywhere near enough time, it was the same in GTS. This is part of the reason why using TC is so futile, guys on TC0 are getting it all sorts of sideways but still pulling away. Now, in saying that, i do not feel it is a controller thing, i see wheel users do the same thing for sure.
Getting lots of nerfing in the top splits, I was hit 2 races in a row mid-corner which is very annoying.

The 911 at RBR is an amazing experience. It is possible to turn really fast laps in it, but you have to drive it very differently to other cars. It’s got this weird tendency to slide mid-corner, but it’s 100% predictable and, if you’re precise, you can use the start of it to rotate the car.I don't know how you squeeze a time out of the 911 and it was my favourite GT7 car when the game first came out.

I am jealous of the fact you have one IRL. They’re on my (ever growing) dream car list.

I tried the 911 the other day and it was good but as you say mid corner it just seems to lose all grip and then get bogged down, especially at T3. I was losing too much time in that corner but the rest of the lap was decent

Yeah but you have to deal with the AUSTRALIA TAX. I paid good solid money, more than I wanted to, decided to check back home in AUS and LITERALLY double the price for the same thing. DOUBLE... like what the heck man. How a 2009 Carrera S cab is well, well over 6 figures back home is beyond me.

Had enough time for 1 race B this morning. Almost decided to start from the back like all the cool kids since I didn't have a whole lot of time for qauli but I'm not far away from A rating so it was best I try and put in a decent lap. But hopped into the Alpha for a quick qauli and got down to a 42.2 but for some reason the game was showing my RBR time from Race C yesterday and didn't save my time. So had to back out and had just enough time for 1 lap and ended up with 42.4.
That was good enough to start 4th. Got through to 2nd and was catching 1st but he had too big of a gap to overcome by the time I got through.
There was a good mix of cars. The guy on pole was in the Huracan, lots of alphas, WRX's, and several Audi TT's.

You got to laugh at some people.
Just done Race B and someone in chat at the start says “let’s have a clean race”
Lap 2 the same person then calls someone out for been dirty.
Race ends and another driver calls someone dirty.
Took a look at the replay as the person who called for a clean race tried to divebomb on lap 1 so I wanted to see if they was an opening, which they wasn’t. They went for a gap that was closing all the time and was no way going to make the overtake stick. Skip to lap 2 and this same driver goes wide in the S’s in S1 runs over the grass and then rejoins by colliding with another car and then called the other driver out for been dirty yet the other driver had no chance of avoiding them.
Then the 2 person who called someone out for been dirty tried to make an overtake in the S’s which is never going to happen and as expected they both collided.
Seems like the ones who are calling for clean races are the culprits off accidents

There is a huge difference if you use TCS on the wheel or the pad... the more a car has problems with the Tracktion, the more you notice the difference... TCS1 on the pad is closer to TCS 3 on the wheel... I honestly don't know why that is.. but you can feel and see it... riding a pad without a TCS feels more like a TCS 0.25 OR 0.5 is active.. like there is minimal protection accelerating too soon/quickly.I don't know how you squeeze a time out of the 911 and it was my favourite GT7 car when the game first came out.

You're NOT wrong.... especially with the "fast" B drivers it's sometimes violent... but here in the A races it's hot... so far I've been pretty spared... I'd always stay 0.3-0.5 seconds behind a pack of riders.. Usually out of 3 riders, at least 1 doesn't survive all laps....or they all slow down each other. My main focus right now is driving clean..AND..observing and anticipating attacks from behind and not giving a chance to dupe me on the inside of corners.

Just had a really good session at RBR
Did some practice laps just to get myself into a rythem. First lap didn’t really think much off plus I don’t really remember what happen, I just know it wasn’t a great lap but I just went nailed a fastest lap. Hit my suggested optimal time from yesterday. Optimal time 1.29.824 - my fastest lap 1.28.894
Started P7 and had a terrible start. I hate when the race starts and your already at max revs and need to upshift, and somehow I double shifted. Car behind closed in quick but back out into T1 so good racing from them as we would have crashed. Lost two places at T4, but then gain two on L2 into T1. A few spun up ahead and I was then closing in on P3. Lap 4 I tried a move round the outside of T4 but they covered me off, then the next lap I made the same move and pulled it off. Not gonna lie and I’m probably going to say that one of the best moves I’ve done. I struggle with overtaking and back out 90% of the time as I fear for crashing and destroying both our races. Closed up to P2 but just couldn’t get close enough to make an overtake.
Happy with P3 in B/S lobby.

I was online the same time as you, but don't recall seeing you (B/S for me). Did see a few of the false 'clean race' messages though. Also found, as plenty of others have mentioned previously, that the races got dirtier as the A players started to make an appearance - the usual divebombing at turn 1, and the hairpin before the last chicane. Fortunately I managed to avoid them, just enjoyed watching them take one another out!
Trouble is, it took my DR even closer to A - need to get it back down again, so that I can get back to the clean races...

I'm the same way and very conservative when passing. I like to apply pressure and wait for a mistake. Most people will crack (me included) under pressure for more than a lap or two. I find that most people also appreciate you not going for huge lunges and tend to give you the same respect if and when you do get around them.

I gave in today and raced the daily b twice after posting around 50 practice laps (lol) and improved by, wait for it.... 0.08 of a second 🤣 Down to 1:41:835 now.
Started 7th both times and was happy that no actual ramming occured, which is a miracle after the past few days.
What's still annoying is that people still lean on you in corners to overtake. Not enough to shove you off or spin you, but enough to lose momentum and the position. At least also finished 7th both times by overtaking someone else after.
My view is it's still a dirty move, shoving people from the side gently to pass is still not clean in my book and if I wasn't there to unwillingly help them turn, they would not make the corner and run wide.
Am I being petty or is this not clean in your views too?

Definitely not clean and commonly referred to as a barge pass. Wiggle a nose in and then use you as a guide rail to make the corner, or accelerate early using you to finish the turn.
The only thing that changes as you go up in DR is the type of dirty moves you encounter :/ There is also the leaning on your bumper in a braking zone, not a punt, just a little push to create an opening.
And the ever fun, I left you room, while you only had one wheel left on the kerb at corner exit with the rest of the car on the grass/sand. I'm pretty sure leaving a car width means from the edge of the track, the solid white line you're not supposed to go over. Not a car width from the terrain boundary lol.

I struggle with the late brake move. I can be side by side heading into the corner and 9/10 times I will just back out. I need to find a practice lobby where I can just practice these types off passes and any other racing moves where it doesn’t matter if you cause a crash,
The best races I’ve had are when you are following one car trying to force that error and they don’t crack. Have to applaud these racers that can keep it composed for 5/6/7 laps. Yeah I crack after maybe 1/2 laps

First one I would say you're unlucky that the game decided to remove ghost just as you're about to move past. He knew what he was doing when he moved aside to block you.
This one would say is an incident, you had the line 100% but unfortunately, he was still a bumper in front of you so even though he moved on the apex very aggressively, he still had the right to do so. Another inch to have at least a small part of your car along his, then it's his fault as he cannot close you and contact you at the same time.
Long story short, unlucky bro! Wouldn't out you at fault just crap circumstances against you in both scenarios!

Guys, I have a question and I hope it isn't considered too dumb.
I was watching a bit of Z28's stream and there was an instance in which him and someone else were side by side on a straight. The inside guy hugged the inside line and Z boxed him in. When approaching the braking zone, he stayed there, boxing him in. There was some slight contact because the guy on the inside wrongly anticipated that Z was going to have gone wide by that point.
My question is, what is the purpose to not go to the very outside in the braking zone? Won't boxing him in and staying right next to him not slow him down a bit?

I initially wrote a reply to disagree, but watching it more I think you're on point. The Silvia took a late apex, which he has a right to do, and @Devdude had his nose in there. It would have been prudent for @Devdude to back off a little in the interest of his own self-preservation. Better to live to fight another corner than to spin off.
I'm not sure if the penalty system is better or worse now.
I don't race during AU daytime (e.g. lunch break) any more because punting in A/B lobbies is completely out of control and 9 times out of 10 no penalty is given.
In 'prime time' (~6pm-10pm) it's much cleaner and most races have been generally OK. Definitely seems now though that the risk of penalty for track limit is far greater than risk of penalty for deliberately punting...
