It’s mostly Genesis and Citroen at the moment, but not entirely. A few others like the Atenza in the mix.

I'm enjoying the Tt Cup here. It's light & because it's understeery, helps a lot in those tight turns. Have set a PB of 1:40:070 without even having seen @Tidgney 's lap guide which he will upload & post soon. That will help me massively.

I've played Race C even a few times but I prefer the Gr. 4 cars over the Gr. 3. I love TM a lot but will mainly play Race B because the kerbs here can be Your friend.

Can't play for a few hours (stupid dumb 9-5 job :indiff:) but I'll probably take my Scirocco out for a beating. I'm driving for VW in the GTWS so need to get some mileage in racing conditions. It's usually pretty fast there in sectors 1 & 3, but a roadblock in the twisty middle bits.

Yeah getting a bit tired of the Group 4 G70/Citroen cup, maybe the odd Mazda thrown in. The best Group 4 race was when it was mandated RWD at Yamagiwa and we had a great race with Jags, Supras, Astons etc.

This week looks like Trial Mountain to me, should be a good mix of cars that are competitive, early hunch is the BMW may be tough to beat.
 
I remember a long time ago (GT Sport, i think), there was a Lambo Huracán Gr.4 One-Make.

I know, technically it isn't any better than a single-choice meta-fest. But at least it's not pretending to be anything else.

Tried a gr4 at lunch, 1.41 odd but I was happy to see medium tyres there, that should evolve as the week goes but defo a dive fest into the corners if they are close enough,

I’ll give Monza a try later

There's a regular driver int he north american servers with a name like "Thebeast" or something, he is stupid fast and 99% of the time uses the Bugatti just to be different.

There's a guy named 'Kevin' in a lot of my NA lobbies that is ALWAYS pimpin the Swift Gr.4...and makin' it work. I guess they can all be competitive, it's just learning to extract the speed from the non-meta platform you're in. I'm always trying to make the Cayman work, lol. If I'd focus on it the way I do with the RSR, I might actually pull it off. 🤣

:cheers:
 
Man...race B on interlagos is so dirty...

Guys bumping like normal stuff...
Its being a SR tank just for being on the middle of chaos


Ps : gr4 with medium is no different than a simple arcade game...the car just go with none of challenge

Yeah, it’s a particularly tough race race until people settle down mid week.

The problem is basically braking in Gr4 is too easy, just look at the time density on the leaderboard when we are all running the same car, add in the way the lines work for the infield. People see the dive rather than the line.

There is also so much impatience it’s frustrating that people confuse close racing with constant opportunities regardless of the race. What I mean is overtaking for 7th place while 6 and ahead all drive off rather than trying to stay with them.

We will see how this all goes through the week, as this has been one of my best experiences in GT winning a GTWS race where we swapped positions 4 times on the last lap and I won by fractions at the end. So the racing can be had here but it takes understanding and racecraft not brute force.

 
@newmedia_dev i watched the replay from the race we were in, I wondered where you'd gone....

I could have guessed, saw you get a penalty and then get taken out by someone when you were recovering well 😭😭

It's definitely a fun race and great to battle cleanly when you have a willing dance partner, but quite often the opponent has two left feet and treads on your toes repeatedly 😭
 
Don’t sleep on the Scirocco for race B. It’s got good grunt out of the slow corners, can outdrag a Ferrari up the hill to turn 1.



I think that’s what Piastri was trying in the GP yesterday. Of course it all ended in tears half a lap later with the standard unpunished GT7 sideswiping. The penalty system in this game is still a joke 3 years on. Someone make a decent console alternative so I can abandon this ship!
 
I ran a couple of Race C last night. Both ended up ok but the first was a lot of wild dive bombing and bumping for the first half. I started p12 and couldn't figure out how people were braking so much later than me into the turns and getting inside in some sections to rub me off on the wall.

Turns out most of them, even in p16 started on RS. Why?

It all was ok after the pit stop as I had clean running gaps and a tyre advantage. Race 2 had 4 of us get a gap and spend most of the race in a great battle.

Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: Seconds Out​

With us all coming down from the excitement of the weekend’s Gran Turismo World Series in Los Angeles, and a new Manufacturers Cup Exhibition Season about to get underway, there’s no better time for a fresh set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races...

Actually the FF cars are amazing here. The Audi TT Cup is my preferred choice.
 
Race C is pretty good, most guys seemed to want to race sensible in the two races I entered. I managed to run the best possible tyre strat in both races, different strats for different situations, but it worked and I gained several spots. Basically traffic kills you so either stay out or come in depending on the traffic situation and if youre in the window.

Tried a few cars, supra isn't but feels heavy, porsche is fast in right hands but unlike the reverse layout, I find it too willing to switch ends here. Ran a 51.5 in the bmw and then 51.4 in the beetle. Raced with the beetle but may try thr bmw tomorrow. Likely need to find another half second.
 
Today drove 670kms in Race B & C. Race B despite the Gr. 3 cars which I find hard to tame, is fun because of the RM/RS tyre strategy. I keep getting confused which drivetrain to opt (FR or MR).

Race c even though is just 5 laps is fun too because of the Gr. 4 cars & wide track. I tried the G70 for 1 race there but was not competitive in that. I'll be sticking to FF cars for this (Audi Tt Cup & Mazda3) as I will they compliment the layout at Interlagos.

Don't get me started. Last lap of a race last night I'm nose to tail with the car in front racing for second. At turn 10, I make my move and park it on the apex...not a dive bomb where I t-bone him, not an overconfident lunge that brings me WAAY past the apex. It was a standard block pass where I took away the apex and gave him the outside.

Did he take the outside? Oh no, he turned into my door, which caused him to lose 3rd as well. At turn 12, he punts me into oblivion. Was he punished for this with a time penalty? Oh no no no. Meanwhile, my 2nd place turns into 11th place. Remember the days when hitting someone from behind would generate a time penalty? How hard do you have to hit someone now? Super inconsistent. I bet there's remnants of disparity between classes :P

It would be nice if some of these people actually WATCHED racing sometime.

I hear you on the lack of penalties, but TBH if I am understanding the move you are talking about, I am not a huge fan of that type of pass either. If you're alongside and make/take away the apex that is fine but if you're doing a Ricciardo and coming from a ways back and sort of almost stopping on the apex, at times you're going to get hit. I see it a lot at Seaside into T2, guys a car length back so I take the racing line, I start to turn in and boom there's a slow car right on the apex.

OT but slightly related. I was absolutely infuriated that Piastri got a penalty for a textbook pass on Sunday, that was the single worst call I have seen in 45 years of watching motorsports.
 
Had to resort back to the G70 at interlagos and just put up with the clunk 😁 I think should be able to just squeeze into the 1.39s,

Racing has been better too, no dirty barging dives into corners 😁

Back at BS now so looking to consolidate that this week.

I too was demoted to B and TBh it is much more fun. Ran a 3rd and 4th in mixed B and A rooms last night, was good to be competitive. The A/A+ rooms are brutal, scampering all race to fight for 11th.

Chance would be a fine thing mate 🤣 I can see on the leaderboards I feel slower than I was recently, not doing early morning races and basically just got the lunch time racing at a bit in the weekends, it’ll take a while to get my racing mojo back at high B 😁
