GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[MetalApe]

Same as ever - shifter karts at Kyoto, Gr3 at Maggiore Full Reverse, Gr4 at Red Bull Ring (that’ll be hilariously slow with the new BoP).

Is this the worst race C ever? I'm sure they've made the track limits even worse than before, and those slow arsed Gr4 cars, ugh! Race B is a good combo, but I find it hard to be bothered to do 4 lap races.

I’m the same. I think ten lap minimum

Has anyone got screenshots of daily races and rules

Maggiore reverse is something different 👍

Any race at RBR is always torture, no matter what class of car is selected for the event. That's why I rarely ever race there now, some parts of the track are narrow during some turns. Which makes it hard to pass people for higher positions.

@brockie I actually like the Maggiore full course the normal way because everytime I run laps at the Reverse layout, I get tangled up and I feel lost, in backwards land. I have to go even slower to not run into the wall or go in the sand trap. That's what used to happen when I played GTsport in 2023. I remember some parts/races that I participated in.

Good luck out there.

Do you still own a ps5 or do you still have the ps4. I don't remember what you said you had back a couple years ago.

Hello mate, I’m on ps5

That’s why I’ll stick with maggiore all week and at some point I’ll get used to it and it’ll evolve

Won’t be doing any race C, because I never do 😁 and won’t be doing any karts, cos I hate them 🤣

 

[Gurzu]

The Mitsu has lost its edge at RBR, it seems, in favour of the Genesis (didn'd see that coming ). The 2 sec gap from previous BoP is btw confirmed. Autopolis reverse may be a surprise, but learning from scratch the track isn't really the best for me. I'll be at RBR, this week, with the high risk to get demoted to DR B again, but I don't mind. Since I got back to DR A I'm racing basically only in mixed DR A+/A lobbies (only 2 races in whole DR A lobby; wondering why, cause being low DR A I thought I was supposed to be mixed mostly in DR A/B lobbies, but this didn't happen not even once).
Enjoy your racing week, guys.

Yeah, I got bored last year from doing that Kart race at Brands Hatch, remember that race? I think it was sometime in February 2024. As I recall from my strong memory. I did a total of 25 races and after the last one, I said. "This is boring as heck." So I quit for that week and just focused on the A races.

But hopefully since you're familiar and great at Maggiore, maybe you can grab some wins. Depending on what lobbies you're put into. It's random 50-60% of the time.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: Groove is in the Kart​

There’s another week without road cars in the Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races this week, with three new events for track machinery across the motorsport spectrum...

 

[Voodoovaj]

I posted this video in the custom race thread, but I was thinking about the impact on Sport Mode, so I thought I would include it here for context.



So, Sport Mode effectively minimized the Lobbies. I can count on one hand the times I have gone to a lobby since GTSport.

Now, with the latest Sophy updates, I'm thinking this might threaten to minimize Sport Mode. Why? Well, now we can mix the variety of a custom race with the challenge of a Sport Mode race. I set mine up like a Race B (the video is only 3 laps to make the video short), with penalties as well, and it's a very similar experience, even the contact. A few extra Sophy tweaks, and it would be difficult to tell them from real people.

The limiting factor at the moment is cost (to buy and build the cars) and balancing the cars. But, I imagine a new tuning thread will creep up, dedicated to balancing these races.

This hit me today. I fired up the game to see what the dailies were. Gr4 at Redbull Ring (my thought: Didn't we JUST do that? Do I want to throw away my DR on that?). GR3 at Lago reverse (Gr3 Again, and again, and again). I took all of last week off, and I'll probably take this week off as well. Why? Because I can have engaging races against Sophy. F3500 races, which are a BLAST. Classic DTM races, which are also a blast. Now Aussie touring cars, which I have found to be a blast. See then trend? I'm looking forward to Unimog and Carry races when (IF) they can support Sophy.

As for Sport Mode...I'm rather tired of 8 YEARS of Gr3 and Gr4 races at the same track, over and over.

 

[Tidgney]

This weeks guide for those interested! I love Daily B as it's one of my favourite and best tracks... So much so my first lap got the World Record, my very next lap beat it by 3 tenths. I am very tempted to try go for a world record there this week if I can get the time to do it 👀 .

 

[King_Jinx]

Gr4 is my favorite category to race in and maybe unlike most people here, I quite like RBR. It's my "I wonder what this new car I got drives like?" track so I know it well and feel confident there. So I was excited to see this Race C combo... except why no tire/fuel strategy to make it interesting??

My preference for Gr4 usually pushes me to Race B, which never has any strategy. 12 laps in Gr4 at RBR with a mandatory tire change would be my ideal race tbh, so close.

 

[TechnoIsLove]

OK my mind is officially blown.... I put in about 15 ~ 20 laps at Lago Maggiore just now for Race B qualy time, tried a couple of different cars but had to revert to meta. Yes, my inconsistency cost me about 0.25 - 0.3s over a lap but still, at the time, my time of 1:58:477 was around the top 350 on the LB - yeah, yeah I know it's early Monday but it's not what I am perplexed about...

My time is 3 SECONDS off the top! 3 SECONDS! If this was around the Nordschleife I'd get it but not over a 2 minute lap! Wow, just wow! 😱🤯🥸 Anyway, here's is my current best lol...

Need to watch Tidge's guide and see what the heck I am doing wrong! 🤣

 

[TheNormsk]

As for Sport Mode...I'm rather tired of 8 YEARS of Gr3 and Gr4 races at the same track, over and over.

I've only done a 2-1/2 years and I'm already getting bored. That's why you don't see me much here anymore. I'm playing single player, TT and even restarted GT5 on a PS3 for fun (I like the different tracks). I enjoy the variety of the A races more but they get boring after Tuesday when there are no DR points to them.

I've never really done the Sophy thing but might have to check out the race builder. I'd like to do races in all the cars we NEVER get to race. However the one reason I don't do Sophy is the stupid reaction emoticons and beeps. I can do without that ****.

 

[brockie]

Well, race B is certainly something new, it’s like a completely new track. Going to need to study down and learn that bad boy, bit filthy going at BB, hopefully I’ll be out of there soon.

Some strong times down already.

Not how many races at lunch I’ll manage this week, the rear suspension on my Volkswagen collapsed today 🤨 this week may well pass me by

 

[newmedia_dev]

B is more fun than I initially thought it would be, managed to get optimals in to the high 1.57:9s but as is always the way with the Gr3 here the fast guys are just so so so much better in braking styles and throttle management.

Don’t know if I like the track this way round or not, it feels a bit different being more “down hill” than the typical direction which feels more “up hill”

I can see why the fast guys (tidg) etc like it. A very weird technical flow to it.

Gr4 at RBR is fine, it is what it is now in Gr4 without balancing the cars race to race we end up with it like this now

I think to this point you have to kind of re frame what you want from a competitive console game.

.0001 have the talent, time or ability to be professional at almost all sports. Golf games are easier than the real thing, Mario Kart is still competitive etc. just being candid the way a lot of people drive the virtual cars in this game and if they drove like they think they can in real life we would be living in a GTA city!

People will always be competitive, the medium is just the shared thing to do it on and considering all of the racing games are “games” it’s about mastering your ability of that game none of it is real.

And relax Glen.

On to more related notes I managed to play the game better than some other people.

Its not even that important that its not real, it makes racing just stupid slipstream fest. Not fun at all.

You mean that the game has game rules?

I agree on the fun side sometimes but you have to reset yourself for their sandbox and everyone who is playing the game has to play by the same rules, so regardless of cars or settings everyone is playing the same game.

Edit, can I ask what is not fun about close racing? Is it the parameters or people?

Close racing is fun when both drivers have similar pace/skills and doing their best. When one driver is 1s faster per lap but slipstream is so strong that he cant escape its just not fun. Or maybe fun but for one two races and thats all. Its get boring realy fast.

It is fun when you're in second place 😁

I kind of understand because I have been vocal about these things before.

I’m not sure what the issue is? You just catch-up a bit quicker or get caught up a bit quicker and then you have the close racing?

Being very very honest here there aren’t a lot of my lobbies where there is people catching people 1s faster slipstream or not.

And in the other lobbies I’m honestly not sure it’s really a thing either more consistency and control are weight more to the race than a little bit of slip stream especially in Gr4 where we can walk fast than them now….

I assume you probably also doesn't see problem with rubber banding ai. I mean, each to their own, for me currently strength of slipstream is killing multiplayer.

Honestly mate bud have platinum the game, have all but 1 car and over 5500 online dailies in this game on my main account, add my alt accounts in and it’s probably 6 thousand online daily races.

Before we start assuming stuff. Let’s take a step back and be rational not passionate.

“Slip stream strength is killing multiplayer”

“I like close racing”

Right, let’s just be where we are as a base line.

Everyone EVERYONE is racing to the same rules, if you catch them the can catch you and that’s called racing, what the races aren’t is “who can in a race setting time trial the fastest”

The races are actually doing something that has long been needed which it to start to teach/introduce people to actually having to race rather than lap at the front or lap at the back.

To directly address your point, rubber banding AI is fine, it’s a blunt instrument to try and make it fun/exciting

When we talk about humans, if you are that god damn good break the tow or learn to race and enjoy actually racing?

Ya, I set off road grip to real and draft to real.

It's so bizarre with Sophy and boost set to weak. I perceive no difference on my car, but the opposition is on par with me. My fast laps are on par with my TT laps. If they added one, or a few, "rivals" who compete with you for the win, it would be hard to find a better experience.

Yes, I agree. I also don't feel there is a ridiculous boost online. I have never felt cheated, or unduly rewarded, because of the set up. It never feels like a DRS or something.

Right now, I'm spending time with Sophy because of the novelty of driving these hidden race cars. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Gr3, but too much of anything becomes tedious.

Thats the problem, its almost impossible with current slip strength (at least if you are in proper lobby not on alt account with drivers 2-3s slower per lap).

Honestly mate, in a balanced lobby do you really hand on heart feel it’s the slipstream?

My time in B is a bit meh for my personal standard/where I try for and there is .3 seconds that separates the top 9

So I don’t think that slip stream is the racing issue…they are all as quick as me.

In other lobbies maybe the gaps are bigger but even then your racing?

Change your mindset and you’ll have more fun.
