We finally have the A 😬😬😬😬😬

Well for the next 3 to 4 races anyway 🤷‍♂️

Bloody love Dragon Trail!!! Gardens got me from C to mid B and Seaside took me from Mid B to A!!! I’m off to email PD about making a 3rd Dragon Trail Track!!!!

Had 1 race in A, started in 6th was under 2 tenths off pole and made my way up to 4th, 2 crashes in the COD and I’m coming through behind and the car stationary on the track doesn’t ghost 😡😡 absolutely raging! Came 13th!!! Pretty much exact same thing that happened to Mr B!!!

I’m going back in for 1 more before bed as can’t leave it on that!!!!
Whoa bro, we may start racing against each other! Get as many races as you can in before Monday, I reckon you’ll get enough DR in to get you through, this is where the real work starts.

I’m already hitting 32k DR and if Brands is good to me, hopefully it sticks!

Keep it going man, you got this.

Soon you’ll be joining Glen, Barney and Techno and looking down on us mere mortals 😁

I found bottom of A actually pretty reasonable to gain DR in. If most people in the lobby are higher rated than you, you only really need to settle into the mid pack to gain, and if youre one of a couple A rated in a weaker lobby you can often run away. Once I got to 35k or so i stopped worrying about moving down and started racing to win more.

Be great to see you in a lobby again! Last time I saw you was BMB but you sped off and I crashed 😂

I’ve just got to try and get to 32/33k so I’m not stressing about dropping. Had 3 races in A this eve and came out level on DR! Had two crashed into crashed cars in COD which was frustrating and I deffo turned the air blue in my little room 😂😂 and the other race I just crashed myself. I think I’ve got the pace, just need the run of the green slightly!!! Inevitably I’m going to drop back down but hopefully stave it off until next week 😬

A already 😳 that’s amazing. 🤩

Thank you mate, appreciate it!!! Had the non ghosting issue you had as well! So bloody annoying!

I’ve been pretty even with pace, just haven’t managed to nick a result yet but haven’t lost any DR so hopefully tomorrow can pick up one or two top 5’s and get myself away from the drop zone!!!

It’s all down to the braking 😂 but actually it’s amazing how just that has brought my consistently right up!!!!

Hopefully see you out there!!!! Altho looks like you’re focusing on race C aren’t you?

Having to learn to race mid pack again as I’ve spent most of the week stating P3 and above!!!

Yeah I'm super keen on race C this week so I'll be in there when I'm on. I'm pretty new to GT7 so the like fictional tracks I need to learn whenever they come up. Gardens came up in Manu Cup right when I was getting into it but I havent gotten to Seaside yet and it doesnt seem worth the effort of learning for Gr. 4 on hard tires when theres backwards Nurbs on offer haha.

Just managed a couple of races at DT and both DR gains, at one point first race I got up to 4th but this chap whod been crashed off the lead barged his way back thru and I managed not to retaliate so finished 7th and then 8th but gained in both but it was a bit grubby have to say,

We live to fight another day and 32.6k DR so all good!

Almost weekend guys!
 
I think I may be one of the few who would claim this track is more fun in reverse. From Sector 4 to 9 it's really enjoyable.
It is actually very interesting in reverse. It's a whole new experience. I think it would be a great time trial but there is no way I would try to race it at the moment. I hope PD offer this as a track that we can drive outside of special events.

Good for you! I got to A briefly last year at Barca in Gr4, though I went back down to B quickly!

Ps Think it’s harder to move up now (been top 5 at DTS alot this week and my DR has barely moved!

Noob question: When you say 32.6k DR where do I find that info?

Here's my stats -
IMG_20260312_221543.webp
 
I've long wanted to see a split in GR.4 in this game. There's too many TCR cars in the GR.4 bucket and the game would be better if they were split. Not only would it offer a more interesting and possibly robust daily rotation it would also allow PD to BOP more accurately between the various cars and I think we'd all like that a lot.
Could be as simple as splitting off the FF Gr.4 cars into their own "Gr. TC" category or something.

As fun as it is romping the humble Elantra TCR against Huracans and 458s (the visual looks hilarious in replays; big ol' Elantra and tiny Huracan :lol:), you're almost guaranteed to never win if you're using an FF Gr.4.

It's dumb you need to use a 3rd party site, just give it a google. I'd guess youre at like 12k or something.

It is actually very interesting in reverse. It's a whole new experience. I think it would be a great time trial but there is no way I would try to race it at the moment. I hope PD offer this as a track that we can drive outside of special events.
It races ok actually if everyone behaves in turn 1. Not easy to overtake but doable if youre patient.

Actually... you don't. The third-party sites all scrape gran-turismo.com. You can dig it out yourself with only a little effort.

If you want to estimate it, B starts at 10,000 and goes up to 29,999 - a range of 19,999. The bar there is just a bit less than 30% complete, so it's about (19,999*0.3)+10,000, or about 16,000.

Edit: It's 15,673...

A couple of the corners that are normally uphill are so outrageously good on the reverse layout with the extra speed. Bergwerk and Flugplatz are particularly ridiculous.

Need to put some time in on the quali and find a couple seconds but there's no time between the races lol, just rush out of the lobby and barely catch the next one every time. Really would like to get a top 100 while this race is up.

Did you manage to spend some extra time in Quali to break into the 100?

It's a completely different mindset now isn't, trying to place to preserve DR instead of going all out for the win in B's.

Be nice to get that up in the 34's for some breathing space next week!!

If everyone is giving stats, then I'm at 34,986 currently.
Nice mate!! I'm trying to catch you! :D

It really is mate and it’s fierce to get in to those top 8 places with everyone you know around you trying to be super clean and nice but not giving a god damn inch! 😁

Just had another 7th and increase of 186 so I’m just going to rinse this one the whole weekend!

But I have to say DR A is for the most part, amazingly clean and you can trust the others to a degree

I've not found it as big a jump in race pace as I thought it would be from B to A, but dropping down to mid pack start from the front row is making it much tougher. But agree it does seem to be cleaner, had less dive bombs but have had an accident in most races but that has been due to me/them lacking a bit of car control in hard racing I think.

Thoroughly enjoying the new challenge though. I'm sending the wife and kids to the mother in laws in Australia tomorrow for 5 weeks to get them out of Dubai so going to have a huge amount of time get stuck into this until mid April :D.

Going to spend a few hours in the circuit experiences for Race B and C on Sunday as well as that made a night and day difference for me when it came to this weeks race.

In my lobbies mate you’d be starting top6 so you’ve 3 places already on me, should see you through to DR increase at least. The racecraft is so import at A though I’d agree.

But saying this I just finished last and lost 1000 DR 😞 so it’s certainly punishing you when you get it ever so slightly wrong (which I did) 😁

I started racing in gr4 races thanks to the Elantra which I consider the only good looking car if the group, I think I won 8 times total with it

Offff that’s got to hurt!!! It’s been a rough lunch time session for me as well 😂😂

Half A+ lobbies so I thought tough but must be clean.

Got punted in both races in P9 and P10 by A+ drivers, they must really have wanted that position 😂😂😂 luckily the DR loss was only 700 over the two races, but my A is on life support. A smart man would come back tonight when the lobbies have more A drivers! I am not that man!

😂 I tend to like seeing A+ drivers in the lobby because the DR gain places can go down as 10th place and if you manage to finish infront of one of them it’s nice gains.

Check us and our new found DR hunting 🤣

haha hunting DR adds a nice dimension to the game, B had been autopilot for the last few weeks so the stress and excitement of mid pack A racing has been super enjoyable, Hopefully going to put a shift in tonight for 3/4 hours

Yeah I like seeing them in that respect as well and expected cleaner racing from them to be honest, however can't whinge. Was on for a top half which would have given me 200 - 400 DR as I just finished 8th and nicked 400 DR.

Again, you don't need to find this on anybody else's website. It's right there in your profile on the gran-turismo.com site.

Go to your profile, highlight the DR bar, open an Inspect pane (right-click, Inspect), ta-daa:

1773405507227.webp


The DR B bar starts at 10,000 and covers 19,999pt. 80.92% of 19,999 is 16,183, add on the 10,000 start point and my DR is 26,183pt.


The more stuff you sign up for the greater the chances of your email/password being exposed to bad actors, and unless you exercise the kind of good security practices (virtually) nobody actually does the greater the chances of you having something important compromised.

I'm sure it's a lovely website run by a lovely person, but unless you need to sign up to something - or use a junk email account and a randomised password - you shouldn't. And yes, that technically applies to here too, but you're already here :D

You have to sign up to PSN to play GT7, and the GT site uses that login. The data you want is right there already. Third-party sites that give you a nice visual of it just scrape the data from this exact source.

Thanks Famine and appreciate the help

But what is that screen shot? And you know we are not net code junkies 😁

I guess that’s on the website using a pc? Because I am mainly using my phone you see so the digit site I do prefer, and I can follow some fellow racers and see their DR development too

But noted on the security aspect 👊
 
But what is that screen shot?
It's just an Inspect pane. Put the mouse over the element you want to inspect (in this case the DR bar), right-click, select Inspect.

Yes, it's part of at least the most common three (PC) browsers, and the most popular Mac browser (as Developer Tools). I don't think there's an equivalent on the phone version of the browsers, as these tend to be a lot more lean.
 
Just been on for 3 race B's. First race was a victim of others risky overtakes. "No. Don't even think about it. Oh you really are going to try it aren't you!?" 🤦‍♂️

I'm like: I better back off or this will end in tears for half the field. IDK. Maybe I'm too passive?

These are players who have the skill to race considerately and win fairly. The mind boggles.

Won the following 2 races after very hard but fair races. DR barely moved.

In other news I'm into the 47s qually time. Happy days!

Well done on the wins mate, you must be flying through the ranks in B!!!!! Knew you’d start motoring once you worked out the difference and similarities from your other racing!!!!! A in no time!!!

So annoying seeing unavoidable chaos in front that you can’t avoid! I was 5th in one race and P1 - P4 all tried to take the COD together at once 🤷‍♂️😂 needless to say we all got smashed!!!

You’ll pass me on the way up to A as I’m coming down probably!

Also on the DR the car can be misleading as it looks like it’s not working, use Famines method or digits website and you’ll see you’ve picked up 600-800 each for the wins most probably

Nice work mate, for the life of me I cannot get a better time than my 47.919, annoyingly I did a 48.019 today after I managed a fast lap at the fourth time of asking 🤬

And my lunch race today, first one, was a 11th so dropped some DR, but managed a 4th in the second one after a bunch guys got all rowdy with each other 😳

Enjoy the weekends racing guys!

@Stringerbell that’s terrible mate, that in an A room? Man he must have pissed with someone 😳😳
