GT7 Daily Race Discussion

Was seeing the legend Calster 25's live stream last night. If anyone uses the Audi, do remember to use DRS along the entire race on straights.

With the wife away I could get downstairs early and give race c a crack. Started with the GTR and immediately felt this was a combo where one would just keep finding time. After 10 laps I ran a 55.7, optimal low 55. Decided to do 2 races, one was a podium where I was the fastest but was bunped off early, other was mess. Both B rooms.

I felt there was more in me so decided to try the Lexus. It immediately felt even better, ran a 55.6 and decided to push. Was on pace for a 53.9 and binned it, but did manage a 54.1. I think that's tough to beat in B rooms and should be competitive in A rooms. Link to my lap below.

So the physics, for these cars I really like the change. I can lay on the throttle with more confidence and can catch a slide much easier than before. The FFB on my DD Pro feels excellent, much better than before. Not sure what group 3 or 4 feel like but in these gt500 cars I really like the change, especially the weighty feeling of the car rather than it floating.

I expected to be slower than most at St. Croix but not 5-8 seconds off the leaders in DR B. I finished 1:34 behind P1. Going to study the replay and see what I am getting wrong.

I don’t know how y’all are managing 1:53s when the best I cracked on RM was 2:04 in the meta GT-R.

Tried to share my reply for you to use but it's not working on PS for some reason so here it is for you to check out if you can maybe pick up a few things to get some extra pace.

Love that livery mate!!!!!

Yeah I agree it seems like the more you race the more bits of time just drop off, are you sticking with the Lexus now? I'm a slave to the META.

I think you've summed up my feelings there, I tried Gr2 at Fuji pre update and was like driving on an ice rink, but this has been really enjoyable.

I need to put some work into S2 and S3 here, S1, S3, S4 I lose around one to one and half tenths to Tidgney's guide but I lose nearly a second through S2 and S3, just so hard to get a flow through those sections, I'm not using anywhere near enough track in those sections, Think if I can crack that I'll sneak into the 52's.
