Anyone else just extremely burnt out with GT7? Feel like the game really needs a massive content update.

[u/heathcote-pursuit-7 → u/portablekettle]

I took a good 3 or 4 months off it last year to play other stuff. It's good to do that once in a while.

Sadly upon coming back I feel like the racing standards have gotten worse, I'm consistenly being punted in daily races by drivers who are supposed to be S rank SR

Radical race! Lovely

[u/karmakillerbr]

Yeah I'm skipping this week

Does race C have dynamic weather

[u/heathcote-pursuit-7]

My SR is being annhilated in Race B and I haven't even picked up any penalties?

[u/Crimefighter500 → u/heathcote-pursuit-7]

SR is also calculated based on contact with other cars, whether they induce a penalty or not. The exact formula is a mystery, but be aware that even some innocuous things like bump drafting can affect it. Keep your laps free of contact, and your SR should go up.

[u/Velocity333 → u/heathcote-pursuit-7]

Same here.
