With GT7 trolling me had with hundreds of cars and so few events the last 2 weeks have been a GT-SPORT dejavu. And I have had fun, the Mount Panorama races were surprisingly fun and I managed to gain so many places.. And lose them again in all my races.

This week I am just taking whatever car I feel like and doing Race C. Starting way back down in the field has mysteriously turned out to be blessed with clean drivers..

Now honestly, this might as well have been GTS and that says something about that game.

Thank you for this!

@Tidgney, thank you so much for doing all of your instructional videos. I just recently was led to your GT Sport driving school, and it has been amazingly helpful for me as a brand new driver.

Take a look at the tune that was posted above on this very page:

PRAIANO'S TUNES : SETTINGS FOR GT7

Yes. Now the PP limit is not a problem. I’m trying your 700pp tunes in the HyperCar events where there’s no limit and is funny testing the street cars. and i was wondering if it is possible to low a little the height and in which way about the cake… in Italy is: You want a full barrell and a...

No worries at all, I'm always happy to help so I'm glad they are helping still :D! Sometimes they took an age to make but it's always nice to hear they still are helping :D!

Thanks for this. I've always like Tidgney. Ever since I first saw his instructional video back in the days of the GT Academy around either Spa or Silverstone.

So it was a clean move. Good to know. Thanks.

Cheers for the kind words :D! My word that's some time ago that with those videos :D!

Maybe to get a speed boost going into the penalty zone as to lose less time? Would make sense if it works, but I've never seen it done.

If that’s what’s happened I’ve definitely seen it done. People feel aggrieved and what to ruin someone else’s race along with their own.
 
Had the craziest Race B today, was nuts 🤣

Started P9, worked myself up to 7th by lap 2, even though I literally drifted the fast right-hander after the guy kept trying to punt me off...

He finally managed next lap and to add insult to injury, i got a penalty as well 🫤 Down to 11th and I decided to race hard, but fair, for the remainder of the lap. I get up to 9th, serve the penalty and back down to 15th...

Managed to climb a few places final lap and finish in 11th and 0.1 behind 10th. Crazy 🤪🤣🫣

 
I've entered 4 daily A races today, and been disconnected during 3 of them. :(
I reset my router after the third race, but it didn't make any difference. I also restarted the PS5.
My console is hard-wired with a cable connection. The in-game test says Ping 83 ms, and the network environment is excellent.
Is there anything else I should try?
 
The Watkins Glen Group 4 combo this week has been amusing and has allowed me to practice a kind of "Inviting Chaos" racing style.

Watkins Glen is a nice fast track with a few good straights, but those straights aren't quite long enough to really build up speed in slipstream and pass before you have to slam the brakes again, and the corners for the most part aren't easy to pass on unless your opponent makes a mistake. So I've been inviting chaos...

If I catch up to two races infront, I'll give the one closest to me a bit of a love-tap, a bump-draft to help them catch up with the other person, because it seems on this track that as soon as you do that, the person thinks they can make all kinds of crazy passing moves work. At least 4 times so far I've seen people get the tap, and then within 3 seconds try to go 2-wide through the chicane, or suddenly think a dive-bomb on a tight corner is viable. What they should do is brake earlier, but no-one does.

You give them that little bit of hope and chaos follows.

You didn't disconnect when you blew by me just now! I finally had a clean race, but the load cell pedals I got today are making me relearn everything, which is slowing me down. I was 18" back at P3!
 
Managed to get in a couple of quick Race B tonight, with pretty decent results.

Race 1 I started 3rd and soon slipped into 2nd when the first two GTRs were battling and one went off. I had a really good battle with the other guy, and had some really fair fighting. Ended up sweeping by him as he had a penalty and held on for a win, FL and CRB!

That popped me up a ranking (have yet to recover my B/S ranking from GTS which I tanked at the end) into C/C from D/E! Next race I was Q6, but someone dropped out in the lobby so I started 5th. Halfway round the first lap, P1 dropped out and I'd made up a position, so I was up to 4th. The 155 and GTR ahead of me were battling and it didn't look like the Alfa was playing nice. I caught them after the GTR got knocked off the track and got brake checked by the Alfa as I caught up to him in the penultimate corner. I managed to hang and find justice when he ran wide, picked up a 0.5 penalty and I passed him on lap 3. He was just behind me for the rest of the race, but I nearly caught P1 in the end, taking P2, FL and CRB again!

Two enjoyable races in one of my favourite Gr.4 cars. 😍

If it helps, I'll give you the tune that I came up with.
It's not the best in the world, but it got me to #18. 👍
Message me in the game if you want the info.

Dunno how i've never seen this video before but I've clearly been driving a bit too timidly. So from this day onwards I'm gonna try send it a bit more wherever possible....

I thought the same thing after watching the video . . . and immediately got called dirty!!! :lol: But because of the video I felt more confident as to why I wasn’t. My mantra will now be “ @Tidgney made me do it!”

Plus I got new load cell pedals and I was driving all over the place. Dirty? No. Erratic. Definitely.

So I had a blast at the Glen since Monday. The M4 is still lacking straight line speed, but I found a little setting that wasnt locked by BOP and now I can at least keep up with the other cars. "Drive Meta!" you say? Well sir, no! I'm a die hard bimmer-man and whatever Munich hands me, I'm gonna race it. I hope the G82 M4 GT3+4 are coming to GT7 soon (garnished with some CSL, maybe?), but I like me my F82 M4 GT4 also.

So this kind of lead up to this race which I had yesterday. I have to admit, I cant remember which positions we fought about, I think it might have been around P10, but I dont know. And I do not care. I didnt even know in what lap I was in, because I was hammering the M4 round the Glen like I never did before. Set 2 new PBs. And all of that because of two really quick Alfas. Man, what a beautiful car it is indeed! These two Alfas raced the living **** out of me and my M4. This race was my best online race EVER. And I been doing this since 2004 in GTR. After this race I needed a cigarrette (I dont smoke) and a beer.

I dont know who had more overtake maneuvres, but this was fair, hard and quick. Man this game can be fun.

I tried it, but was horribly slow with it. Two seconds behind my quali times with the G70. What did you do?

That livery looks sweeeeeet! Love the M4, just wish it was a bit more competitive.

I’m with everyone else: what is the setting that you fiddled with under BoP? I’d love to make that car more competitive on a regular basis.

I mean as long as you can make the corner without any contact while still leaving room on the outside( preferably hitting the apex) is legit. I have definitely been on both sides of the diving interpret ions. I used to be way too timid of a driver, GTS was my first online racing experience. I’m probably still too timid but I’m ok with that. I just make sure when I go for a move that could be considered diving I make sure to leave way too much room. It slow me down but show’s no ill intentions. I think😬
And most importantly for me is if I go for it or make any contact that’s my fault I always back off or pull aside and give back the position, regardless of how many places are lost. 🍻

Its not a big thing, but I used to race with the TKS at 1 and it took away engine power at the exits, exactly where you need the juice if you know what I mean. I didnt think I was able to handle a free rear end in heated racing situations, especially with the hard tyre, which is made of wood.

On the Glen tho, it seems theres plenty of grip anyway. So I set the TKS to 0 and boy, we're movin in the right direction! The M4s still not a rocket on the straights as you can see on my video a few posts earlier. But I can kind of keep up. The GTR is still a lot faster, but when braking and cornering, from a M4 perspective, the GTR looks like it weighs 2 tons. When a GTR hits the brakes, I can keep blasting for another 20-30 meters and still turn in nicer.

I've won a few DR B races, some more on C and got a 1:57 qualy time, but I didnt squeeze everything into it, to have something left in the races. Dont show all your aces right away ;) So I'm no pro AT ALL! But most people arent. And I think its a mistake to focus videos, games and communities on a few super fast drivers. The VLN/NLS (Nordschleife Endurance Series) idea is to have everybody racing and have good fun. Thats where real motorsport happens. Not in shiny hospitalities with catering, air conditioning and a PR manager. But with some buddies racing an old E36, eating french fries in the pits and sleeping in foldable chairs.

I'm fine with DR C and just having plain fun. Went to A once and didnt like it.

The livery! Yes its awesome, aint it? Got it from GT7s.. whats the name of it.. "market place"? You know, where you can get liveries. I wanted the one BMW is using because I think its friggin awesome. Thinking about wrapping my real life BMW like that, too. Is there a possibility to link liveries from that GT7 place here? I dont think so.

I think I will stick to just setting lap times for the daily races rather than actually race 🫣 Been meeting a lot of dirty drivers lately. Just now, i was so excited that @NikNakTobasco and I were in the same lobby. Since he is an 👽 he of course was in pole position and I think I started 9th or 10th but was feeling confident!

Then reality hit 🤣

Twice in the same race, first time was lap 1 after bus stop, the guy in front of me spins out and GT logic pointed at me and I heard a deep voice say "No ghost for you!"

So he collected me and I drop quite a few positions and have damage. Same happens lap 3 and I find myself last. I manage to catch up and overtake a few people. Lap 4 i come up to a particular driver who i have seen punt people off many times this week, with no penalties EVER given against him.

He makes a tiny mistake and I make the pass towards the start of section 4. He's still right behind me when we start lap 5 and he uses draft on the straight to take back his position. He outbrakes himself so we are back to side by side and I have a slight speed advantage. And then... It's good night and bye bye for me 😢

Highlights of the race below... At least I got to see NNT take 3 race wins in a row, well done sir 🎉🥳

Also wanted to say thank you to @Nebuc72 for suggesting the change in steering sensitivity! Found my comfort zone around setting 5 (was zero before). I didn't manage to improve my Race C time however, the M6 is much more responsive now and I'm extremely consistent with the new handling 🙂

The biggest difference the change made was in Race B and the GTR. The car itself is 100 times more drivable now and I even slashed my previous qualy time by almost half a second. Was 1:54:9 and now 1:54:5 so thanks again 🙂

No worries mate, glad it helped!

It makes a surprisingly big difference, I didn't expect it at first, but I changed it from 0 in the Fuji TT as the car was fairly hard to get around the track and found out pretty quickly it helps everywhere hahaha.

Yep, you can link to the Showcase search for liveries, or even direct to liveries, like this one I did - warning, it's not for purists...

The first one was just really bad luck. I don’t think the game can ghost that quick, it’s a Bitter pill when you get hit and then it ghosts so everyone else can go through though.
The ram at the end. Jesus. ‘Top
Split’ too. What a joke
