GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[brockie]

Yeah I did it. Was great and was remembering the corners as i was running round them! Also got a PB for 10k so all in all was a good morning!!!! Got a half marathon next weekend which is going to be brutal I think!!!!

You out running a lot?


Actually I might pick your brains, are there any good driving/track days in Feb in Uk? I’m back for a few days end of Feb so wanted to treat my mate to something as he is car mad!

Good luck in the gtws. I decided to save that for next year as was all too much in one go for me right now

Not sure in Feb to be honest mate but check the websites of the tracks you could be close to or prepared to visit and they will show what is on!

Yeah I run 5k a day Monday to Friday, need a supercharge to my day to deal with the sharks I work with 😁 so my days like wake at 4am, hour of GT, run for a half hour, pump some iron and then keep 100 ppl on the straight and narrow at work 😁

 

[newmedia_dev]

I don’t have it in me now to find the missing 1/10 optimums are 32.59x now but finding that is a struggle from where my lap sits now. It’s literally a fraction of a second earlier on the power in the last corner

Did some laps yesterday at Suzuka, not my race but I do enjoy the NSX 500

Overall let’s see what the racing brings, my last lobby a couple of hours ago was top split with 3 top 20 people in it…hoping things thin out a bit or populate more!

That’s a solid morning routine!!!! I’m similar with running or cycling in the morning but then it’s school run and gym at lunchtime!

My GT time is 30 seconds after the kids bedtime has finished 😂

What do you do? 100 people doesn’t sound like a stress free day!!! Do you get GT time in the evening?

I think I need an intervention! I’m in an abusive relationship with Interlagos and Suzuka!! I can’t stop racing them but I started the week mid/low B and I’m on the verge of D now 😂😂😂😂

I’m a ops GM for a trucking company running 400 trucks so I’m mostly on the go 😁 I only get racing before work and sneak the lunchtime 1230 in but due to kids not the evening, generally get a few hours in the weekend when they play and aren’t playing football or swimming etc but I don’t do bad 😘

 

[DespicableBee]

Got my QT at Suzuka down to a 1:50.4 on my other account but i just cannot seem to improve, i think i am trying too hard 🤣 Also, i have had to start wearing glasses to play so not being able to use VR isnt helping. Switched to the NSX, much nicer to drive.
I did buy the Porsche and tried around 25 laps at interlargos. I am going to go against the grain now and admit that i absolutely hate it 🙉 I just cannot figure it out at all. As far as i am concerned its a big understeery mess!! If i try messing with BB it just becomes too tail happy. I left it at 0 and barely managed a 34.2 and gave up, not a car for me

 

[mellofello9]

Nice mate, I hope you did the 10k! I’m a runner too 😁

F. Love this Porsche,

I know someone else who will too @mellofello9 👊

Going to spend tomorrow in the BMW gr3 for the gtws, I missed a few but this will break it up

Won't lie, been a frustrating week because I've been absolutely GEEKIN' about the new addition but haven't been able to race. It's gotta be more than a year now since I've driven anything but the 911 RSR in Gr.3 races. This is gonna be fun.

I know some/most consider it boring, but I've really enjoyed sticking with one car. I got infinitely more in-tune with it and am hoping some of that transfers over to the new platform. Huge 'THANK YOU' for the report, @brockie ! Was worried it was gonna suck, lol, and that doesn't sound to be the case.👍

Yeah that will definitely keep you busy won’t it!!!

Sounds like we are both in similar situations with work, kids, fitness and squeezing in GT!!!! Hopefully next week I’ll be back up in B and trying to catch on to your coat tails!!!

The curse of Interlagos has finally somewhat lifted!!!!! Think I was more the beneficiary of a slow lobby and a spin off from P1! But I’ll take anything I can get 😂 had P2 pretty much locked at Suzuka and was on the tail of P1 with a massive gap to P3 when he pitted at the end of lap 8 because he looked at the radar and I didn’t!! 1 lap of dancing on ice and then a pit and P7 rolls in!

Happy with the W at Interlagos tho as thought I was closing in on my first winless week! I really don’t like the track though! Probably cos I suck at it!

 

[brockie]

Finally picked up a win! Decided to switch to the Audi and that’s not the easiest car to drive around interlagos but I scraped it over the line.

Somewhat fortunate circumstances, been starting between 5-8 all week with 1.33.635 QT but suddenly I started pole, probably everyone having a short break 😁

Had this certain guy behind me who was a little dirty previous race so I didn’t hold much hope out, but managed to keep him 1.5 secs behind for the whole race!

 

[cyirush]

Do you reckon it is faster on a lap than the RSR?
If so by how much do you think?
I’m asking cause I drive for Porsche too but I didn’t get the chance to drive it yet at Watkins Glen (neither had time for the RSR) ..

Not sure. Haven’t driven them back to back.

I’m about to race it at WG. RSR was always my go to Gr3. This feels as good if not better.

 

[brockie]

Well I had a double result tonight, no sooner did I take a first win of the week but another one came straight by, thought I’d go back to the RSR and the gtws livered freebie which dropped recently, again another fortunate one, the two new ‘22 Porsches got pens on the first lap and I managed to keep the at bay for the remaining 😁

Great times! I've come close but keep making tiny errors around Interlagos. I came within half a second of my first ever Gr3 A+ win, which would have been nice.
I've spent most of the week on B as it's been pretty enjoyable, but may try C tomorrow before the new races

Oioi winner winner chicken dinner!!!!

Seems like you’re gelling with the new RSR. It deffo feels like it gets round the corners better and allows you to get the power down quicker (in my limited opinion 😂).

Roll on the hat trick of wins!

Hold on! I’ve been chasing your time all week in Suzuka 😂😂😂 have you not driven it? There’s a 1.51.1xx on there under your name? Or I’ve lost my mind and I’m just day dreaming about you 😂

No, I just did a few laps on Monday/Tuesday - not been back again 🙈 Would try tonight, but wine 😂

 

[newmedia_dev]

but wine 😂

That’s my whole Saturday in one post!

I’ll do early morning races tomorrow to recover my SR but I’d TM next week is the road cars, you guys won’t see me unless Fuji is gr4 and I can bring the Veyron out again!

 

[CinnamonOD]

Had a good day at the dailies, got myself out of B / S

Does anyone know how many points I need to get back to A+?

EDIT: Real good day I must say!

Next week has me wondering as well, one of these tracks might showcase the new Hyundai TCR, just hope that isn’t Fuji! Not even sure why I don’t like, but I just don’t 😁

Race A might be a peach and Yas Marina being here again so soon makes me wonder, Renault Espace F1? What a dire week that would be 😂

wine is always a good alternative! You should have had wine before your laps and given me a fighting chance to catch your time 😂

I've stuck with Race C all week, had some good races - finally got myself back up to DR B, and still climbing! I do love the Gr2 cars, fast but not unruly like Gr1.

Had 3 wet races on Monday, every race since then has been dry 🤔

 

[Gurzu]

The new 911 is really lovely to drive. I chose to spend time giving her a new dress. I think that she'll be my "go to" Gr3 for a while regardless the meta.

I’m actually finding the RSR ‘17 to be faster than the new one so I’ve kinda gone back to that.

The R8 is trouncing everything that’s a horrible drive.

I don’t mind the R8 to be honest, but what I can’t figure out is how to get speed out of the new Porsche it takes a lot of effort to get close to my R8 times so I’m missing something.

Yeah same, but I prefer racing against the new Porsche than the R8, just can’t get anywhere behind the Audi, the new Porsche I am sure is missing something 😉

 

[newmedia_dev]

It’s been a long week and time since I could post one of these

Also can you tell I was drinking yesterday 🤣

At your level that’s super impressive mate.

I’ve had a few wins today but only because I found myself at BB today 😬

No where as satisfying as the wins yesterday, but it’s been a good week at Interlagos I must say

Thank you.

Im trying to repair my SR damage ready for next week, so focusing a little more. Also not racing after a bucketload of 🍷

Wins are wins mate regardless, like you I think it’s been an OK week at Interlagos apart from my blip and red mist in one race

 

[DespicableBee]

I am off tomorrow as we have a bank holiday over here, was looking forward to the new dailies but something tells me it will be Gr4 at Yas marina and that means that Hyundai TCR will be out in force...I am probably wrong though 🤣 I did 1 lap in it on the TT yesterday and didnt really like it. I do like the turbo flutter effects though, very old school Audi like 👌

 

[brockie]

Well that’s my Sunday done, back to high B and high SR S 😁 and the tough clean racing 👊

I think that new Porsche has a few patches before I retire the RSR, the old boy still has it

Until next week guys

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

I've really enjoyed Race A and Race C this week, totally different experiences but great fun. A for the car control trying to balance the slides on the throttle and brake and C for the downforce. It's nice to see PD using a custom carsets for this instead of making it just Gr2 and having everyone in the NSX, I wish they had done the same for Gr1 Daytona last week.

 

[DesignationG]

I must say, I will sorely miss race C and I honestly feel it's the best daily race I've ever taken part in.

The unpredictability of the rain patterns brought so much strategy and variety to the races, making gambles could pay off big time or come crushing down on you. It seems my strength lies in rain strategy since my DR rocketed this week up to its highest level ever this week at 39252, whereas I've spent most of my sport career in high B.

As much as I enjoyed the week and the rank climb, the win itself was eluding me and seemed more unlikely the higher my rank got. Had two heartbreaks of less than a second from victory (one being 0.090 off!). For the final day I decided to slap my classic livery on the lexus and lo and behold, I was finally immediately rewarded for my efforts in the grey and yellow. Not only did I manage to win, but I secured it all the way from P16.

It's absolutely crazy to me that I am securing a win in tricky conditions against A+ drivers, I never would have imagined. Next week will be boring normal dryness again and I'll probably tumble back down to B. Farewell wet Suzuka, and thank you Lexus SC430.

 

[Uday9479]

The new daily Race C (Yas Marina - Gr.3 - RM & RS - 12 laps) is going to be wild & enjoyable. I barely touched any daily races since the last 5 days but now again will be hooked to this race in particular.
