I'm struggling so much this week, I can't seem to get the car to rotate (BMW Sprint) which is ultra frustrating because I had some of the best drives of my life at Yas Marina (in the Jag) and last week in the gr2 cars. I've run practice sessions in n…

I have found that the car rotates much more if you back off the brake just a tiny bit (like 5%) after the initial application. Think of it like initiating trail braking much sooner and with more force on the pedal than usual. Hope that makes sense; it's kind of hard to put into words...

I'm struggling so much this week, I can't seem to get the car to rotate (BMW Sprint) which is ultra frustrating because I had some of the best drives of my life at Yas Marina (in the Jag) and last week in the gr2 cars. I've run practice sessions in nearly all the gr3 cars and the BMW, GTR, and the 296 are the only cars I seem to be able to extract any decent pace out of, but my problem with rotation is consistent no matter what I'm driving.  Any tips?

Uno dei tracciati  me preferiti, ma salto visto che l'auto non mi ha mai ispirato per questo gioco. Quando tornano le auto TOP svegliatemi.

See you next update then buddy

I love this race. Peak GT7 for me. I know it's brutal but so fun with the conditions and everything thrown at the driver. Always want more of this.

I'm also struggling to recharge much more than before the update.  In the Ferrari, I run out of battery long before the race is over.

⬆️Obviously ment Group C. 

I'd be greatful for any tip to help me better manage my car's hybrid assist battery charge. After about 6 laps its pretty much depleted and what I manage to recover under braking from there on out doesn't seem to be enough to sustain optimum lap times. I'm struggling with an electrical energy deficit.

Thrilled to get another go at this race. Last time I was only into my 2nd or 3rd week of Sport Mode and couldn't appreciate it to its fullest. Not this time. Very much looking forward to this week's racing. Only slightly disapointed that we'll be racing the same subset of Gr.1 cars as last time. Group B cars deserve more love from PD. Oh well, maybe next time. And might as well have them barrel down the intact Mulsanne. Here's hoping.

Like to meet a single person who thinks these cars are better to drive around here than they were last time. Sluggish, under steering hot garbage. Why do they feel slower and less planted than the gr.2 cars did last week? Aren't these supposed to be close to the pinnacle of motor sports? Oh yes, the new physics are great.

Very interesting race Combo. Nice to see. Would have expected on of the newer cars from the update to have featured for Daily Race A, but nonetheless, one has to be very precise with the power of this vehicle

Yup she's slippery if you get on it too early. I found making sure the wheels are straight before hitting full noise helps

That's a great write up. Well articulated. I agree. Even though I feel fr cars have too much grip now a little adjustment in subsequent updates should make this an unreal update

really like that i can drive the FR cars now with the overpowered tire grip 😁 i could never manage the oversteer but now there are so many more cars to experiment with, and this track is an absolute blast, even the hard tires stick!! maybe (yes i'm 1…

There must be something wrong with me because until the update I found cars spinning out on the exit of slow corners suspiciously absent from the game. All I ever got from giving it too much gas was understeer-understeer-understeer-understeer-snap-oversteer-car-wobble-shimmy-to-the-outside-then-settle-down. The rare times I did see cars pointing the wrong way it was due to having been seriously unsettled by a curb, a tank slapper event or getting pit manoeuvred. 

I like how the game now punishes overexuberant throttle application. To me at least, it makes launching out of a hairpin or a slow chicane a lot more interesting. Its fun to see the car I'm chassing wiggle its rear end as its driver hunts for grip; its a sure sign they're pushing. 

I also like how the FR cars feel now but once again, I must be weird because my problem with them prior to the update was understeer. I started last week running the Porsche 991 at Yas Marina and was having a good week. In fact my best so far. Then when I read people talking about how 1.71 favored FR cars over MR cars I gave the Corvette a try. It had pretty much been cured of its understeer. Felt almost like cheating how stupid fast it went down the straights. Shifting into 5th gear was like engaging warp drive. It reached the penalty line with so much speed it barely slowed down and cars 1sec behind couldn't pass me if I served a 0.5sec penalty. 🤣

It still needs tweeking but I think its been overall a good development. BoP will have to be revised but I guess thats the sort of thing PD can't do in house so they outsource it to the playerbase and take notes as we abuse the current imbalance of performance.
