+1, decided to just sit the week out in the end. Plenty of other things to occupy me, hopefully next week is more interesting.
I’m using the McLaren 650 S which looks to be somewhat popular. I’m right there with you at the 1’50ish QT. I’ve stiffened it up a fair amount and played with the damper compression but I can’t really tell the difference on springs. I’ve also started short-shifting under load which seems to be faster for me.I'm having great times at Seaside too, I got a time of 1'49.919, using the Genesis G70. I love that thing, it drives semi-fast. I still wonder if there's a faster and better car. Let me know guys if you find any good combos. And if possible any tuning spreadsheets. I think tuning for the brake balance is only allowed at Maggiore.
Don't let one or two weeks sour you. I'm not thrilled with this week either.Not sure I’m going to put much effort into this week. I tried C and hated it. Went back to B and just not feeling it.
Perhaps I’m burnt out on Sport?
It's also because summer is happening. I've mention before that I see myself spending less time on GT7 now that the weather is warm again. GT will be more a winter thing for me going forward as I avoid upper Midwest arctic winters. That's my fault though for marrying someone from Wisconsin.Don't let one or two weeks sour you. I'm not thrilled with this week either.
Now I know what I'm doing wrong all the time.Yeah also not feeling it I have to say, I had a couple of races yesterday early morning, when the racing is usually good
Hell no he just went there!Ya’ll are nuts, DT Seaside is one of the best tracks in the whole game! 😎
I love it, it was the first track I got the Diamond on in GTS, for the Lewis Hamilton DLC. The death chicane makes for some crazy moments/races at times.Hell no he just went there!
🍿🍿🍿
Who are you calling nuts?Ya’ll are nuts, DT Seaside is one of the best tracks in the whole game! 😎
It's your fault for existing in the same space he wanted to spin out in. Did you not download the "Mind Reading" DLC? Or do you consider that an "assist" and therefore refuse to use it?Sometimes, just existing on the track is enough of a crime to get you lynched.

How y'all been?😁It's also because summer is happening. I've mention before that I see myself spending less time on GT7 now that the weather is warm again.

Now that it's nicer, I'd rather be outside....
Hey man, haven't seen you post in a while. I've been busy this past month helping my mom around the house and cooking for her so she can get to her doctor appointments. We are getting ready for the summer. We are gonna hire someone to cut our grass outside. Have you done any daily races lately? Take care and stay healthy/safe,How y'all been?😁
Apparently I've fallen into this category as well. Rebuilding the deck, dealing with pool, mowing grass...haven't raced in ages, it seems. Plus, the garage is warm enough to hang-out in again. I like it there..the stereo kicks ass and I'm in good with all my neighbors. They don't mind when their house shakes a bit now and again.👍
Good luck out there and have fun!
Well, I'm having a difficult time getting below the 1'25.000's, what do I need to have the CSA and ASM set to. There's a few options for each one. I normally have the BB set at 1-2. I wonder if I should switch it to the negative side. Oh, nvm. I saw what you had the CSA and ASM set to. I won't be back until Saturday night as I'm going to the mall and to get my haircut. So I'll have to curb the racing time tonight and tomorrow.OK guys, I'm a-coming for you:

Here's a tip for anyone struggling with this track: Don't be afraid to try different assist settings at this track.
By the way, I'm a DR A around 45%.
I'd been driving the 911 with only TCS set to 1 (or 2, I switched it back and forth) (and ABS strong). No ASM or CA. It felt like I was doing well, but I was waaaaaay behind (relatively speaking).
I fiddled with a lot of things, and I discovered that with TCS at 2, ASM on, and CA strong, I had a HUGE gain in times. From 1:23.214 to 1:22.692.
I'm not sure I need both ASM and CA, so I'll play with those. It's quite possible that ASM is all I need.
Here's why these settings helped: I don't have to be nearly as careful around T2 and T3. Same with 7, and the final loop. I can focus on getting the lines and timing right, which had been my main issue.
Obviously if I could master the 911 without assists, I could get better times. But I could also be an A+ if I was better. And maybe someday I will. But not today.
BTW, I use BB +3 or +5, still not sure which I prefer. +5 causes me to slide some, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. We'll see.
CAVEAT:
This doesn't mean I won't still fiddle with the assist settings. Maybe they didn't have as much affect as just learning the track better did. But my point is, if you're having trouble with this track, try EVERYTHING.
I think most people forget that IRL Gt3 and Gt4 cars never run with out ABS or TCS.OK guys, I'm a-coming for you:

The manu cup failures killed all my farmed DR from brands 🤣Oh well, the A+ was good while it lasted 😂
Race B has been a bit of a disaster. Punted off several times and finishing near last soon depletes it - bit grating to see the punters' DR increasing though
Doesn't matter what I do on B - a car will find a way to spin in to me - I even took to the grass to avoid a car and still got hit by another one 🤣The manu cup failures killed all my farmed DR from brands 🤣
B is toooo much of a lottery atleast with C EVERYONE hits the wall in the race at some point 🤣
Hello everybody!!
I've been away most of the week but for a good reason!
My beautiful baby is alive! First start in over 2 years, left running for 30 min and logger showed everything is great! Warm start below - headphones recommended for proper sound!
Yipppeeeee - 95% done 🥳 🥳 🥳 😎 😅
