Either way if the heads up is right, look forward to a race A with a decent car, even gr4 at sardegna 😁

We can but hope, my Gr4 Scooby needs some driving!

Have absolutely zero interest in Nurbs for a one lap race or any length race, won’t even set a QT for it.

I’ll do C but probably not many unless I get a unicorn QT lap.

I just remember the last gr4 race there when the huracan was the car to be in and that was a decent race, as long as it’s no 3 wheel van type of pointless race I’ll be happy

So this is me done for the week, it’s been a very good gain for me but it’s a track I favour and all of the cars were good, in hindsight I wouldn’t have gone from the Nissan to the Porsche but ultimately it doesn’t matter in GR3

The best I could do was 4th in an A/A+ lobby that felt like top split (Dreamcatcher, Mario sonic) so it was definitely at the sharp end.

Gran Turismo 7 A Lobby Race


Net gain in dr but experience was a better gain.

Awesome race mate and this looks great in vr

For some reason my vr doesn’t seem to look so good? Do you find the vr not quite a 4k screen? Otherwise what setting do you have, I need to get more into this, I had a few wins today but I stand by it looks better on my lg C1 than in vr

So VR is not 50” OLED quality. But it’s exceptionally good in volumetric view. My VR has pop in and can depending on headset position be grainy/awkward. But when it’s nailed it’s wonderful.

All that said in daily races the visuals aren’t the reason to use it, the experience and visability is much more important than 4K FOR ME, mileage varies on these things.

But VR feels closer to reality than the over saturated glossy GT default and that realism plus car positioning and being “in the moment” are why I only race this way now

Let me ‘bear with it’ a little more. 😁

What S2000 is it, not the over revving bin you off sideways unless you’re in 5th gear sort I hope? 😁

It’s the VTEC 99 model. Just done a race and it’s tricky! Not 57 vette tricky but comfort softs and really narrow power band and high revving!

A: Has DR and SR ON!
B: 1000% credit increase

Let's sum up TM weekend. I finally got my 100th win. Lot of fun on the Lexus, (really antimeta) against a multitude of MR cars. Never seen somebody else in any of my lobbies in a RCF. All DR B races started from pole, sometimes with even 1.7 sec margin on the 2nd 😳. I binned some result always as I use to do it, with class. When mixed in A+/A lobbies (as the only B) it was carnage, but I could save a podium (from 3rd on grid) only by pace, keeping the 4th (A+ on a Merc) at bay with ar. 2 sec margin at the end. Despite 5 dominant wins, that's my preferred one. The problem is that when an A-A+ drivers sees a B in grid with a QT he can olny dream about, he sees red. Therefore I was intentionally punted out in all others mixed races. In 2 of them I was following the 1st and then bam, smashed twice from the same killer. Afterwords, in the chat, people were comforting me telling how a dirty idiot the guy is.
Anyway I'm getting back near to the 1% delay from aliens in Gr3, that's what count more fore me. 5 tenths from Tidg's time (it is already gold for me cause I could go 2-3 tenths faster), 6th overall in the RCF (1.14% users of ar 58500 players) and 2nd in my country (636 players).

Funny though, I completed "only" 607 races out of 729. So I've ar 120 rage quits 🤬 (don't remember the last one, maybe at Autopolis)

Next weekend it will be Brands, either on the G70 or the NSX.
Enjoy your racing week, everyone.

Well it’s all I got this week so be good to try something different than group touring cars.

@Gurzu nice work m8, I managed to beat my leaderboard time with my ‘alt’ forced to use account 😁 1.52.861 but I never had a week with so many lost winning positions, but was nice driving the Porsche again, started to drive it smoothly at Sunday evening 😁

That’s when we can be happy it’s a video game, that didn’t look good at all 😳

If you look at the event screen you can see all the details. BoP on means you can't tune (see image bottom left - "BoP/Tuning Forbidden - On").

You can also rent any car so you don't need to use one from your garage (bottom right button).
