Sounds like a couple things here that could be causing your slow timesI had to save myself from my own stubbornness (stupidity?) last night in Race B. I’ve been doing Race A all week and forgot that I had done some quali laps at the Glen, so I went back in to try a few more before a race. I could t come within two seconds of my qualification time no matter how many laps I did! I went ahead and raced anyway, only to discover that I was starting last or near last as a B/S driver in mostly A & A+ lobbies. I kept thinking one more loss would get me into an easier lobby, but nope. So I tried again. Nope. Five races, five last or near-last finishes. My B ranking plummeted! I had to **** the game down to keep myself from trying again.
I don’t know why I can’t match my pace from Monday. It just feels different. Maybe it’s the new load cell pedals? I will admit that after twenty quali laps with the new pedals I kept seeing the ABS light going on on the straights when it shouldn’t have, and then I noticed that my brake meter was flickering a little bit. It turns out I had calibrated the brake pedal to be too sensitive and I was basically trail braking for each of the laps I was running!!!!!
But still, after re-calibrating a little dead zone in the pedal, I’m still way off my best lap time. I’m flummoxed and at this point just waiting for Monday’s races.
I do, however, LOVE Race A this week! I hope they have more tuning races like this with HP and weight limits. It seems like the perfect balance and allows for personal preferences on suspension and differential without a competitive advantage to PPs.
Is it the Fanatec csl load cell?I had to save myself from my own stubbornness (stupidity?) last night in Race B.

Daily Races (15/08/2022):
What do you have? I decided to really commit, so I almost got the Heusinkvelt Sprints but then realized I’d have a compatibility issue that I didn’t feel like sorting out. With a Fanatec wheel it just made more sense to get the V3 Clubsport pedals rather than the CSL upgrade. I nearly got the inverted set, but I’m not in need for that kind of immersion at that cost. I considered using the V3s as they normally are, but the brake pedal is awfully soft and has a lot of travel in its stock arrangement. I got the performance kit for the brake instead and even at it’s softest setting it is VERY stiff. I thought of switching back to the original springs but I feel like learning how to use the stiffer ones now is a better plan for the long term. Maybe I’m wrong about this?
I was looking at the Mini swap with added ballast, but it doesn’t handle the best. I think we’ll be better off with an OP car and a restricter for the torque curve. I still haven’t decided yet, but the Civic engine doesn’t actually fit in most of the Civics so I may try a Megane or BRZ.
Theres a good shot on all the hp limited races whatever car you can find with the most torque usually wins out.. Ive tested some of the newer vws this week, they should be competitive but im sure something better will pop up on the rankin
Because they can’t have static weather in TT and dynamic in race. Why they can’t do that I have no idea.
Lago. It's Italian for "lake".
Why is that.
What? Why?
There is dynamic weather in GT7.
I sense the Scirocco meta incoming. Especially with Bore Up S adding a nice boost of torque to the already torquey engine. The RCZ might actually end up being good for the same reason.
T1 is a nightmare on this race. Not done Race B yet, but last time out and in a practice lobby yesterday people towards the back don’t understand the concept of they need brake earlier than normal, but instead they use the same braking point and slam into the cars up ahead.
I was having disconnections last night. The game was going into to offline mode about every 20 minutes. PD defo have connection issues by looks of things
