the DRS on GT7 cant work if you have installed Nitrous on your car

Is that a bug or intentional?

Bug due to button mapping I guess. Also, on Tomahawk VGT when you activate DRS - nitrous sounds can be heard.

I hate that nitrous is in GT. If we had decent drag racing fair enough but nitrous is a bit too need for speed for me. I know it’s a big thing in car culture but in a racing game with no drag strip I don’t feel it belongs here.

Well nitrous is used on lots of different ways aside from drag. For example in the heydays of drifting it was heavily used to archive high power outputs, most of the grid of D1GP cars of 2005-2010 ran it. Nowdays is used on drifting to get faster spool up on the turbos.

But yeah, nitrous doesn't really belong to GT. I never use it on any of my cars.

Every day is a School day. Genuinely thanks for that, I’ve never heard of that. would that be like the sort of anti lag we seen back in the group B heydays? Loved the way Lancia twin charged the Delta S4. Italians like to do things differently lol. Sod anti lag, we will just have a supercharger for low revs and a whopping great turbo for high revs.

I hated Nitrous in Gt6 and still hate it.

Thats because its not just "DRS", its also hybrid boost as well. the Tomahawk S doesnt have the "DRS" thing but it does have the boost.....

No. Old school anti lag was done by igniting fuel on the exhaust stroke of a cylinder. This creates combustion in the exhaust manifold rather than the cylinders. This forces the turbo into life.

Nitrous injection is very different. It’s introduced into the inlet side, pre cylinder most of the time, using ports at the inlet manifold. During combustion the nitrous oxide breaks down into nitrogen and (importantly) oxygen, creating more oxygen per volume compared to the proportion of oxygen in air (something like 35% compared to 20%). Oxygen is fundamental to combustion itself.

This is why nitrous is handy for spooling turbos. It can give you a bit more motor (and therefore higher flow of exhaust gas to spool the turbo) when the turbo itself is incapable of bringing anything useful to the party. Turbo then spools, takes over the show, happy days 😏

🍻 for the explanation bud.
