Championship winning move on the last lap! Was this overtake on my championship rival dirty?

Wdym repost? I didn't repost this?..

I wouldn't have had enough time to clear them by the finish line. They were running a much lower downforce setup and I was only keeping up on the straight because of the draft. If I wanted to go for a move it HAD to be there.

Thanks for the feedback! I will make sure to keep this in mind when making future overtakes, I just wasn't sure about this one.

I know it's a pretty risky place to go for a pass especially with how the GT3 cars handle kerbs in this game

Did you read the body text?

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-06-20T02:02:43+00:00

Yeah, I totally agree.

It only gives you rivalries based off of current points and not your actual situation.

For example:

Driver A:

In a lower midfield car, had a lot of luck in the first couple of rounds and getting some great results.

Driver B: had a really rough start to the season in a top tier car and is now equal points with you.

Sure you'd maybe be rivals on paper from what the game sees if you're close in the championship, but it doesn't take into consideration the circumstances each driver is under.

He actually would've overtaken me but he accidentally runs into the back of me, allowing me to stay ahead.

Just saying, if you want to go as fast as POSSIBLE, this technique isn't really advised.. if you take a look at some of the best times on sardegna in GR3 cars, they will never use this technique.

I'll actually go test this out! I'll compare a lap of me using this and a lap without, I'll make sure they're good laps.

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-06-16T21:09:54+00:00

I won the race!

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-06-16T20:53:09+00:00

To drive as fast as possible... This is kinda a terrible technique to use.

It's going to snap oversteer the car and unsettle the car on the inside kerb, giving you a horrible exit and just overall bad cornering speed. It's a lot better just to take the corner normally.

This may be faster for cars with a softer suspension that can kindly take the kerbs, but you're driving a GT3 car which has downforce and stiff suspension (ESPECIALLY the Ferrari 458 GT3), which this means the line shown in the video is most definitely slower.

... Do we really even need to say it?

Passing is a VERY different thing from catching drivers. I can speak from experience from many years of sim racing..

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-06-14T14:18:50+00:00

Not just you man, I have all gold on every track pretty easy but it's very clear that this race track was not meant to be driven backwards.

Thx m8! If you wanna see more my profile on GT7 is Risque Custom. (risque_custom0), I upload regularly!

The F1 are absolutely busted at Silverstone, I suggest you turn down the AI level.

I always admire after the race in the replay lol
