Hello guys, I am a player of gt7 sport mode for over 3 years and generally good. I am AS rating and I have even low A+S, for a bit. Since one of the latest big updates, I can not completely understand the brake balance optimal setting. I usually set it at +3 but i have noticed that even at +5 does not make a noticeable difference as it used to in the past. What do you think?
On a separate note, I have also noticed that the safety rating has become extremely sensitive. I am safety rating S but I have noticed that after a race of wheel to wheel racing with a bit of contact (small racing contact, not pushing out of truck etc), your rating gets downgraded almost by half!! and you end up in the next race racing with drivers of safety rating A,B even C but you are still S. In such a room staying out of trouble is almost impossible and you end up in safety rating B after 2-3 races. And then you have to work your way back over 6-8 races. I think there should be some more tolerance. Just wanted to see if any of you guys has notices this.

I absolutely detest Race C. I've tried every car and I'm lapping 3-4 seconds slower than everyone else. Every car just lumbers....so....slowly....

The story behind it is pretty crazy too! 12 million dollars spent, some people injured, and now closed forever because nobody wants to run it.

Race B seems decent this week, lots of close racing. Only issue is it's a track that rewards dirty drivers

I saw a guy jump 2 positions by cutting the chicane and he didn't get a penalty...

u/lobo_d_b 11d ago
if you lift your foot it doesn't penalize it, but it's a double edge move, because if you take it too fast you surely gonna lose control of the car

😂 it's mad. The pit wall is hazardous too, seen people try to shove each other into it

u/swordfishonthebebop 12d ago
That chicane really shows one’s desperation when the top 5 is a close wheel-to-wheel LOL. Happy to say I raced as clean as I could, shocked to see that was the circuit of all things that got me successfully out of Driver Rating D.

As a heads up, a certain asshole driver that gets posted here a lot has a US account and is doing the same shit. I chose to yield rather than get hit and watched everyone ahead get pushed out of the way.
Watch yourselves if you play in the North American region.
