I spent about 500 hours in gt7 using a controller and the braking zone assist the entire time. I was usually 3-5% off pace and held a B rank with about 14k DR. Over 400 sport mode races.
When I switched to a G923 wheel, I finally turned off the braking zone assist and am learning my brake points. I'm about 40 hours/15 or 20 online races into this setup. My pace dropped to +10% immediately, but in time trials I'm getting closer to 5-8% again. Still a lot of room for improvement.
In sport mode, though, I am dropping like a rock into C rank. I lose the car far more often into full spins than before, and am just not competitive. I knew the changes would be a challenge, but I did not expect it to be so severe. The ranks are just numbers but it's discouraging to be so incompetent. I also don't want to ruin other people's races by being wild, but I need to practice where real people are.
Anyone have tips for getting back on track after moving from a controller to a wheel, or after removing a braking assist? I am way more lost than I expected to be!
