@brockie any lunch time racing updates?

Decided on the Porsche in the end 😁

Started p11 got up to p7 and this lambo who kept getting 0.5 sec pens each lap,

Had p6 in sight and just took him but he didn’t take kindly to me passing so last corner I was banished to the realms and annoyingly restarted last.

Oh well, Thursday it will start coming together remember šŸ˜‚
 
What break balance is better on the R8? I tried different combinations but I can't find one where I'm fully confident all track

Personally i have settled on +2, i set a 2:18.9 on my main account at +4 and when i changed to this account i immediatly shaved .5 off at +2 but that could be more to do with more laps than anything. I have a feeling the Porsche could be a better choice for the actual race. Will give it a go later

Thx man, yeah Porsche is always a good choice race wise, too boring to drive for me personally, also in "quali" the 296 Is a good choice too, I bottled a potential :18.3

I reckon i can break into the 2:17 bracket easily enought, i actually only did 5 QT laps so definately room for improvement. I prefer racing the Porsche in VR weirdly, i just cannot seem to gel with it on a monitor and i am baffled as to why that is. I also find it fascinating the difference between Spa on GT7 and LMU which i play alot too. GT7 is far more forgiving and that is reflected in the much quicker lap times i think.

I'm not that good to do :17 lol, I always struggled at spa, I wish I could play Lmu, another whole year before the console version

If you almost got 18.3 on monday you will definately get there šŸ‘. I am off for the week so i will be up early in the morning to have a real good session and see what happens. Must try the AMG too as thats a car i tend to use an awful lot. Yes, the timeframe for the console version is a bit away but i guess they just want to get it right. I dont think it will take away from GT too much as its a lot more focused on a specific series and that wont appeal to the vast majority of this game base šŸ‘
 
Fun fact: Despite being into racing games, mainly Time Trialling, for over 20 years, today is the first time I've gotten into Spa. It's just been on my avoid list with the likes of Nurburgring Nordschleife and Le mans for being too long to learn and frustrating when you mess up a lap.

Anyway I'm actually enjoying it today (guess what? It's not a long track!). Not raced it yet but got a QT of 2:18.785 in the Porsche '22 and that was with a very sub optimal final chicane exit to the line.

I find that so relatable but so weird, when i got in to online racing it as live for speed, Rfactor, GTR/GTR 2 and then GTL with a G27 but spa was never really a thing, I can go quick round it I just don’t feel it’s a fun layout anymore, when the power/handling was less yes it was a race of the brave. Now everything is so pinned and there aren’t actually any good over taking places because every corner has a second line if both people comply.

I’ll let you into a secret!!! No one complies šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ it’s full of idiots out there!!!!

Spa is a fantastic track to race on, IMHO. Pretty sure you'll have a similar experience when you spend some time at Le Man, too. These are both fun, fast tracks. Nordschliefe, not so much, lol. It is, hands down, my favorite track, but I get it...had a similar feeling the first couple laps running it backwards. 🤣

:cheers:
 
You'd think PD would be interested in banning fascist liveries. Weird. Won't be racing this week regardless because of the garbage options but ugh back to back races full of fascist cars... Garbage people doing garbage things.
Dm me dude because that’s a lot of really weird points to raise.

Message me and let it off your chest

You can easily report liveries, and it absolutely is one of the things SIE (not PD) bans people for.

Thanks, I'm good. Spent some time in the garden after posting and that worked to chill myself out :) Got big plans for harvest sharing this year and needed to get started

2 races. Wiped out in both. So pumped to get out there but it's so deflating when this seems to happen so often to me.




You’re not alone mate!! Don’t worry!! I wanted to go to bed at 10.30! It’s now gone midnight and I’m trying ā€œjust one more raceā€ to try and get a clean one!!! I’m down 3k DR šŸ˜‚šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø keep going mate

Seems like most can't wait for a clear overtaking opportunity. Don't they know a real person is playing behind the screen!? Probably more like they do know but don't give two hoots.

I'm 52 years old and couldn't wait to finish work to play this and now I feel such fool. Sad.

You’re not alone in feeling like that mate, I think we are all similar ages here and getting home to have a few races can definately be the highlight of my day and I’m sure some others here and it is hugely frustrating to have it ruined by an idiot!!!

Misery likes company so if it makes you feel better, it’s now knocking 1am so I’m nearly 3 hours late to bed. I didn’t get a clean race. I’m down 4k DR and I’ve dropped from SR S to SR B so now I’m trying to get clean races with a whole bunch of morons in DR B. Oh and I’m too angry to sleep now

I think I’m done with Spa this week, I will spend a bit of time in quali each day but I’m just sick to death of these idiots, I’m going to go into ac as the longer races seem to have less chaos and crashes

Yeah that's what I've found with the shorter races. I almost always spend my time in C unless I really love the B combo because C being longer means people aren't as insane about trying to overtake. Sure there are some but after lap 2-3 or so it settles down for a while before ramping back up with 3 or so to go.

Race B never gets that chill period it's just always frenetic. Race A suffers from similar flaws. Short of making races longer there's not a whole lot that can be done to fix B :(

Is facism illegal? For something to be banned i would thought it would need to be unlawful. Though Sony can choose what they like to include and exclude in their product. The definition is not easy. I had a quick look about the definition in various sources and its not clearly illegal. Looking at the goverment UK resource for legislation it says
"Most extremist materials and activities are not illegal and do not meet a terrorism or national security threshold. Islamist and Neo-Nazi groups in Britain, some of which have not been proscribed, are operating lawfully but are seeking to replace our democracy with an Islamist and Nazi society respectively."

So you can lawfully be a Nazi type and promote it.
If you wish a livery to be banned because you own the copyright to a certain kind of Swastika you can report it to :

I got that from clicking through from Gran Turismo 7 uploaded content terms of service.

On of the things T10 did with Forza Motorsport was alter something so that a light tap to the rear wouldn't result in the car spinning out. It also was easier to catch a slide in that game.

Once the rear of a car starts to go in GT7 you're toast 99% of the time.

Thx man, I played all evening starting with 18.8 I couldn't replicate it but then I finally got a 18.3 , there's a little room for improvement still but very so far, feel free to add me on PSN

Stick with it mate, it’ll improve as you improve on it,

Nice to see you out there and you have some pace so you starting with a chance,

Luckily I’m getting dr increase finishes so I’m happy till a decent lap time drops

Watch your racing evolve 😁
