Daily Race Discussion

Una scelta davvero particolare una daily davvero mediocre Monza è per auto da corsa non per macchinine da passeggio

I'm sad to see this week come to an end. I've enjoyed racing this daily C so much that I stayed up until the middle of the night to get as many runs in before the start of the new week. And I have no regrets. These last few races have been some of the most enjoyable I've had in sport mode so far. Lobbies weren't full and there was a noticeable pace imbalance between drivers but friendly demeanor and common courtesy accross the board proves this game's playerbase cannot be reduced to a handful of aliens in top split and raving lunatics everywhere else. Its a rare delight, no doubt. The more reason to appreciate these precious moments when they manifest themselves. If any of you reading this were racing european C lobbies during the last 3 hours of the week, maybe we crossed paths. Thank you for the sportsmanship and fairplay!

So long Barcelona! Here I come Tokyo!

GR4 in one nutshell. and this track

Contender for worst week of the year, congratulations 

È stata una bella daily dinamica e complessa,l'usura delle gomme ha dato quel pizzico di difficoltà che ha reso più competitive le gare,peccato che come ogni daily ci sono elementi che gareggiano con furbizia e cercano il contatto evitando di prendere penalità ma in molti hanno dovuto subire queste scorrettezze perdendo punti e avvolte voglia di gareggiare.

Penso che se sei più lento devi lasciare passare e non fare cose che rovinano le gare ad altri.

Suzuka è uno dei circuiti più tecnici e allo stesso momento più belli di tutti i tracciati,per appassionati.

Davvero un tritacarne quando capiti in brutte lobby

Gare folli a trial Mountain 😝

Sicuramente la gara è molto più competitiva e complicata del giro veloce,il consumo gomme è determinante per fare bene.

On my second account I'm using the Corvette, on my main account the Audi. The Corvette is nice off the line (eh, rolling start) and on the back straight, but it needs a lot of love through the twisty bits. RH make it a bit more ticky, but with a sensitive throttle input and/or short-shifting, all is good. But it costs time. I did not spend much time with the car, since I fell in love with the Audi on the other account. I'm a second quicker in qualy than with the Vette. And I did not spend much time on qualifying.

My rant on Monday was gone on Tuesday. It did really help strating further forward on the grid. Now at the end of the week I might try again, maybe my qualy time is not good for starting in the top 5 anymore....

The Jag, well, I guess it behaves similar to the Vette, the AMG etc? I saw a Mustang and a Viper doing wonderful things, when I was put in an early-morning lobby with A/A+ drivers, and a Vette in a B lobby ran away from my Audi. So, these cars can be quick in the right hands, which I seem to not have...

I do not dislike the new 911, I just don't want to drive the car everyone is using, although I love doing one.makes in the leagues I participate.


Sometimes I wish more of the YT content creators would do an anti-meta series. I could do myself, but who on this planet wants to watch a (pace-less) B-rated driver doing this?
Or the big creators could share videos of them racing road cars in their custom races. And since I race in VR, every 2D-view I see in videos feel somehow like cheating... (NOT pun-intented!).

i tried the 650s for the first race it was so understeery and its got understeer snap oversteer don't recomend

I'm using the Jag too. It's fun occasionally passing the Porsches at the start because the initial acceleration is so much better. But I too have been caught out by oversteer when I get careless. I just refuse to conform and drive the 911. 

I was fighting the F-Type Jag here early on, but got very frustrated. Its such a risk of spin out on RH tires.  I switched ot the Porsche and I can accelerate much earlier and risk of spin goes down to minimal.  Shaved 2 sec of my lap time (1.53) 

So as much as I would rather drive the Jag, I gotta go with the crowd unless we get some tire love. See you out there

There would be dozens of good solution to this problem (and to improve the game a lot with other things). But the most important thing to make it happen is just the willingness :)

Ok, OT closed. It's been nice chatting with you too, alla prossima!

It'd be so much better as Gr1. Or grab a book, you're gonna need something to read while gr4 moseys down the straights 

Sorry to hear thar. Try to see the positive side of it: a fresh start, and now you will succeed!

I have hopes that next week's daily C at Tokyo will be in Gr.4, and I'm pretty good at it. Again, no strat plus RH, there might be rain incoming...

i got taken out like so many times and now i'm dr 0 i qualied 2nd

About realism; I can take it or leave it. I mean, I still want it to feel like I'm driving a car, don't get me wrong. But for instance, if cars never flip and roll over in GT7, thats fine by me. If I was into sims to crash cars I'd play BeamNG. When it comes to racing, if the physics feel right when I drive the car "correctly" I'm good. Anyway I'm more into the driver interactions online than nerding out over the physics, graphics or overall car culture.

Yeah, I don't expect much to change with the single player campaign. Personally, I like it. I understand that PD is in effect condensing time to make the game more accessible. Also pandering to the largest common denominator. And Gran Turismo can't take all the blame for the general public's poor understanding of what racing is about. For decades the most popular series, with the help of the media, have dumded down the coverage of the sport.

Maybe Sophy AI could be trained to retaliate against dirty offline drivers to teach them a lesson... But then again that might make things worse, I don't know. Maybe if the very worst of the dirty drivers could be identified reliably, they could then be put into lobbies populated with only Sophy controled cars. Of course without telling them they've essentialy been shadow banded. That would keep them busy wasting their time trolling bots, away from actual humans trying to enjoy their hobby in each other's company.

Ok, that's enough. I'm sure eveyone here has already spent too much time thinking about all this. At this point what is there left to say? Its been nice chatting with you. Ciao!

i dont like the odds of driving standards getting any better. i raced most of the day today. all my lobbies were mid A DR and B DR in the moring the lobbys even had C dr drivers in them. i did 13-15 races and gained 1046 dr points for winning every single one of those races. i just did my last race then and was taken out because i relaxed and let 2nd and 3rd catch up. not really enough to make a move? well how wrong i was the absolute desperation shown by drivers in this game cost me all 14 positions subsequently finnishing last and loosing every single bit of DR i gained for the day, plus an extra 57. so iv ended up -57 points for my full day of racing. good luck.
