Got round to doing some races in A today as a little bit of SR repair.

The utter pricks that play this game, I can’t call out nationalities or driver rating or pace just muppets!

What the actual?

They are all at it, I’m afraid that’s DR B these days! Last week I dropped down to DR C on Tokyo, tried a little DR repair yesterday which dropped me down to D would you believe! The only saving grace there is no one can punt you off in the corners, you just need to avoid side swipes 🙄

But it’s a fab little combo I have to say, it got me doing the challenge there too, 10 laps gt500 feels faster 🤣

Nice wheels on your car though bro, I decided to stick with a rental because my owned car with 52k on the clock I was worried about - but the bop equalises everything no?

Hope you all had a fun racing week and here’s to next week 🍻

Edit. Awesome time there buddy!!!!!!

He’s been in my races most of the week as well but the solution is simply to be quicker and escape or have other people in between you that take the beating instead. I never had any altercations with him myself but seen people lamenting in the chat very frequently addressed to that guy. Same thing with another guy who bears the name of a Portuguese football team from Lisboa.
 
I’ve been trying to acclimatise to vr in my quali time, really growing on me and I’m getting a little faster each day

Some things though, like the end of the tunnel straight on trial mountain, have you going down hill in vr on the left turn on the hill, and the same on the left handed prior to penultimate corner, weird differences between flat screen and vr

It takes time, but not a load of time bud. The markers are there just a fraction later if you are good in the brakes.

I personally find them better in VR as you can accelerate at the compression hops and lift off the brakes way earlier.

That all said I think a lot of the driving is to how bumper or hood cam was, switch it up go slower and feel the road ;)

It’s definitely getting there, I still I’m faster in flat, so my races and QT are still flat raced, but the vr is just incredible, really growing on me, hopefully won’t take long until I surpass my flat screen
 
I’m getting tired with all this stuff now, in 3 years I have improved massively and met some amazing people and racers. But I’m not having fun or as much fun anymore. And that is absolutely ok for me and no one else is really gonna be that bothered either 🤣

So leaving you all to the GT gods. Go forth and conquer!

Glad you stuck with it 👍 I am the same at the moment but from tomorrow on I will stick with VR again because it is the best experience by far on this game 👍

Sadly, most likely not.

Im tired if this and when my 11 year old sitting next me at the desk watches and says

OMG why? I know where my time is better spent. GT isn’t gonna raise my child or pay my bills and I sure as hell don’t need to win a race with no DR as much as some peeps do. 👊

I agree with you 💯. After watching your clip and seeing the shake of your head but still retaining some bit of composure then I kind of know you have had enough 😉
You have more patience than me 👍😉

The 2 races B I did this morning were the best I had in all week. Sad it takes so long for people to figure out how to race on a track. SR is B at this time, so maybe people are more cautious to not drop any further, I know I am.
It's just so hard to watch everybody and anticipate every collision and rebound. I've been in so many accident this past week. Even if you slow down for stuff happening in front, the guy behind sees it as an opportunity to progress but at what cost.

This is the luckiest I ever been in GT7. Feels like Shcumi and Hakkinen at SPA in the days

Tried it, I was 4 seconds quicker than second place.

3rd over took me in the middle of T1 and I only lift for the whole of T1 and in to T2

Ideas appreciated, I can
Probably get in to the top 100 but then is all full of A+ guys who are fast and that’s fine but I don’t know how to out run them when I’m racing 15 people of the world that are faster than me :/

I know exactly who you mean, too

I've many replays featuring "cameos" from that particular Benfica supporter.

‐---------------------

Onto the original motive for posting tonight, a quick summary of my slightly weird (but entertaining) week of Daily Races.

I began the week with low-A DR (normal) and just hanging on to an A SR rating (unacceptable), so as much as my eyes lit up at the 1000% modifier for Race B, i knew i would have to clean up a bit before hitting the streets of Tokyo. I tried Race A without a quali time to test the waters and discovered it was clean enough but the fun factor wasn't there so i very quickly established a pole-worthy quali time (this is still Monday, bear in mind). I took a couple of wins and was sufficienttly happy at mid-S SR to jump into Race B.

Now, I'm used to Race A purely for fun/SR recovery and Race B/C less interesting but more competitive, but what i didn't expect was this strange dynamic whereby as long as my DR was relatively low, i stood to have much more credit-earning potential than when i gradually eke my way back up the ladder. Again, i took a couple of wins (see linked video) along with 800k in credits before this happened;

It goes without saying, my entry is lying below the screenshot border! The lobbies suddenly became ridiculously stacked as soon as i had one foot in the DR A door. Not a problem, because these races have been great.

I wanted to share the race capture for one of my favourites, especially for @Lightpilgrim to see regarding their questions about race management and decision making, but hopefully everyone who watches might learn a little about surviving and triumphing in these kind of situations.

Keep an eye on the French driver in Q5 and watch how nearly everything in the race revolves around their actions...

What? I think this whole post is a bit confusing...

You must’ve had an awful start then? In these cars here, Q2 shouldn’t manage to overtake the polesitter. Unless the guy behind you just put a fake quali you should leave him in the dust already after the esses and the tunnel, 40 seconds in if he’s that slow and then just cruise home. The race should be over already after a few corners if your qualifying time differs by four seconds.

A quicker time wouldn’t change who you’re racing with. Not many A+ were doing this race anyway.

Perhaps a break from the game for some time would do you good if the most it gives you these days is frustration. Some weeks I find it utterly stale too and coming back to it the next week you feel more energised, passionate and happy.

Most likely as you started the race with TC on, perhaps he didn’t and nailed his start, it’s possible to overtake pole from the start, happened to me a few times going into the tunnel, and bearing in mind they all barged past, they all had some draft

Tried one race without TC on at start and completely fluffed my lines

In one race believe it or not I managed to put it in reverse off the line, not sure how. That was quite amusing 🤣

Completely agree, with each car's traits and cockpit renderings find that VR acclimatisation is something that have to do week in week out to some degree. Even now still feeling out where the brake markers actually feel right and taking a while to get correct, with the lateness sort of feel I have to let my head in the cockpit pass the marker in VR and brake on it/slightly past it. Hairpin at Tokyo this week was a great example of braking too early and coasting too much up to the turn in.

Brockie sure I saw you in some of my C/B Tokyo lobbies last week thanks for the clean racing.
 
If anyone wants a classic GT3 Clio V6 Cup livery for this week, I made a load back in Sport and while I can't actually find them now I've still got the purple one and I can make new colours and numbers:
