I am within 5m of their braking point on every corner and get back on the gas around the same time and sometimes earlier but they’re at 3-8 MPH more speed at the apex on every corner.

Every comparison lap ever IMHO. I look at the overly of the data and it always comes down to mid corner apex speed. I brake and gas at very similar times, take same lines but carrying mid corner is the real key and on a normal lap I am 2.5% off the fastest time int he world, so usually about 3 seconds or so, just from a few KMH at each apex.

It’s such an art isn’t it. Every time I try it I just miss the apex and run wide.

They must be taking a slightly different line that allows them to just track it all the way round.

Spent a bit of time in Quali and took 4 tenths off my time down to 1.47.661. Pretty happy with that.

Spent a good half an hour after analyzing my lap against the fastest lancer which was a 1.46.8xx

Man those fast guys just manage to pull some fancy hocus pocus fairy dust bull **** in the middle of the corners.

I am within 5m of their braking point on every corner and get back on the gas around the same time and sometimes earlier but they’re at 3-8 MPH more speed at the apex on every corner. Not only is it above my skill level but it’s above my comprehension as I just can’t for the life of me work out how they’re getting the car turned and out at that speed. Unbelievable talent and incredible to watch the control they have!!!! I can’t imagine they’re squirming in the seat and driving the car with their full body like I am 😂🤦‍♂️

Here’s my lap and I’ve shared it under GTplanet if anyone wants to use it as a ghost

Can you adjust BB on that car? Last week for Sugo, Calster put up a lapguide and he ran -2 BB whereas most others stick to +5. I feel that a lot of the streamers just copy each other because it's the assumed meta. Also maybe the ghost you were following had just washed his car which makes it more aerodynamic ;)
 
On Race B, the AMG GT3 ‘20 really flows well through GVH. It can put down power stable and planted even in first gear with nary a hint of oversteer. I am a mid DR B who has only managed 1:50 QT. But I just about blew the doors off the competition last night starting from 12th and ending 3rd, one of the best start-finish improvements I’ve ever logged. It passed people in corners like they weren’t even moving and carried much more top speed. 5/5, would hoon again.
 
I think I'll try to stick with the Corvette Group 3 for Race B so I can get better with it. I'd love it if Chevrolet were able to make it to the Gran Turismo World Series again and maybe even win a season title.
 
I'm finding Race A to be quite a peculiar experience. It seems no matter what, 2nd place is where I'm destined to finish.

I tried using my alt account today to attempt a couple of races from the back of the grid. Come what may, on spite of whatever obstacles and incidents that came my way, I somehow ended up creeping back to the "best of the rest" position after all the time collectively lost through battling. It's a real eye-opener about how much time you sacrifice when you're fighting for track position.

Same story on my main, where I'm typically starting 2nd or 3rd, except I'm fighting my six to keep them all at bay. Either way, same outcome... The rest are left fighting in my wake, and all the while I'm unable to keep pace with some Race A Alien out in front.

It all tracks, I suppose.
 
Still hanging on in DR A, fighting like hell for an 8th place at least, but getting the odd better result, but good racing eventually once I got my SR back to full, one especially cracking race had me and this guy going two wide through the last chicane, without touching and que his message at the end, must have taken ages to type that 🤣

GR3 at Road Atlanta next week will be a blast, it's pretty sketchy with contact but super high adrenaline all the way round the track.

That’s also a good way to describe GVH this week, a seat of the pants ride! 😁

I love getting messages like that!

As they say "it's all about the friends we make along the way"
 
Absolutely love SammySnake's snake verdict vids where players share with him glitches, dirty driving incidents or unfair penalty scenarios for him to give a verdict on. Most of them are damn funny to see as an outsider. Am sure most of us have come across such scenarios many a times in daily races. Take a look friends...

P.S. - To celebrate 30k subscribers, he's giving away a Fanatec CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT via lucky draw. You just need to be a resident of U.K. & comment something that he specifies during the vid. BTW, I absolutely enjoy the snake verdict vids.

I'm really enjoying his LMU streams. I'd love nothing more than to jump into an hour long, mixed class race, with rain, pit and fuel strats etc. Far more strategy involved than a GT7 daily and the racing and physics look so much more detailed. I just hope we get a good console port without a huge graphics/feature downgrade
 
Seems like the 2nd part of the big upgrade due next month we'll have Audi TT cups + ASM now. I still don't mind as the Audi TT has been one of my favorite cars in the game since long. It's much more fun to drive than the Elantra.
 
Are there any other viable options for race C in the actual race apart from the Audi TT?

Saw a guy using the Honda the other day doing great times with it but I tried it in qualifying & can't seem to stop it from spinning at the chicane

Tried the dodge but it was terrible, same with the G70.

I've pretty much only seen TTs all week in race C.

Sometimes there might be a car that's 3 tenths slower per lap but for whatever reason I'm able to get more out of it, than I can get out of the "meta" car

One competitive player I race with always uses NSX & does well in that car. If not the NSX, You still have Elantra, Mazda3, Scirocco, Huracan & Cayman. Although, not as competitive but they're viable choices, if not bad.

Also, don't forget to use ASM in qualy & race even.

That's good to know, I'll try some of those other options tonight.

As for ASM, honestly not interested. Everyone has a right to do what they want but I think assists should be banned from ranked play, especially at B or higher.

Well known & established players are using ASM because that's the name of the game. If You don't use it + not driving the Audi TT = You'll lose out big time in the race. Thus, hurting Your DR.

The effect of not using it has been extremely marginal & not hurting my DR anywhere near as much as the physics update has done

Since the arcade physics update I'm ~2 secs slower at most tracks.

Not using ASM is costing me 0.1-0.2 of a second at most.

Its irrelevant to me if top players are using it, I still consider it cheese. Top players on a lot of games use things that are quite frankly, cheap... Doesn't make it correct or "the best way" because those guys are using those methods.

Top players using Cronus in every FPS, or anti-recoil mods doesn't I should use them, Its a morality matter fundamentality.
 
I still say ASM being faster in a Gr4 FWD car means it is broken. The whole point of ASM is stability management, but it's actually allowing the car to tuck it's nose in better through fast corners, it should slow you down not make you faster in that respect.

Anything that helps to go as fast as possible is more than welcome.
