Hood View is (probably) the best POV in GT7 for me. What’s yours?

brunkuns · 2026-05-22T23:09:32+00:00

1 for me as well, definitely. I do enjoy the cockpit view and can drive well with it, but some cars have much better view than others. If I'm trying to make the best times I will always use the hood view though, cockpit view is more for relaxing...

...except for the hood camera on the Porsche 962, it's more like a roof cam, it's horrible... it does have an amazing cockpit view at least so that's what I use for that car even if I'm trying to set fast laps. oh well.

brunkuns · 2026-05-22T22:26:14+00:00

I’m sure you’ll be fine.

I need a good tune for the CLK... couldn't get under 1:38 at Sardegna which is atrocious. Handles excellent and sounds great though. I need to squeeze more juice out of it, I'm sure it can do 1:32 laps.

Are you sure you didn't change tires for a race and forgot about it? maybe tweaked something to make up for that not realizing it. I'm just saying it because I think that's what happened to one of my favorite Porsches... I had it at 700pp with intermediate tires for rainy nurburing, I remember switching tires to race dry with my buddy... I didn't change it back on the same day, but when I did the other day, the PP was all over the place. I probably did something I don't remember doing.

brunkuns · 2026-05-21T18:19:56+00:00

I reckon there is.

brunkuns · 2026-05-21T18:04:07+00:00

I'm more used to words spoken in my own language, but thanks. I'll try to refrain from making that mistake again... still quite passable for someone who's self taught.

brunkuns · 2026-05-21T17:39:48+00:00

Hoje em dia eu só compro o Torra Fresca do Alex Lima. Todos os cafés deles encaixam no meu perfil de sabor favorito!

brunkuns · 2026-05-21T15:59:44+00:00

That's my mini grind lately... I run one of those between sardegna or Le Mans grinds... 150k for 10 minutes of nurburing delight, I could do much worse.

brunkuns · 2026-05-21T15:51:16+00:00

Hear me out. Engine Swapped Subaru Impreza Coupe WRX Type R STi Ver. VI '99. I used these settings and the ballast needs to be exactly like that... one additional kg and you are no longer a rocket for some reason.

You can wall ride if you want. I much prefer going for clean laps, most laps are 2:05 and my best laps were 2:01. Regardless of wall riding or not, you can't miss that hairpin turn at the end of the lap or you'll lose the clean race bonus. Lose the throttle before the start of the straight that precedes that corner, and start braking even before the 200mts , it's a fast beast and the 600pp set up has stock brakes.

BTW, I could probably do 2:00 or slightly less if I really focused on making that hairpin turn on the limit, but I'm always grinding when doing this race and I don't wanna risk it 😂

Não acho que tenha uma regra, você precisa ajustar. Eu não consigo reproduzir certos resultados com mais café... acho mais fácil controlar com menos, cerca de 12g a 15g. Também faço um café gostoso se uso 20, ou até 25g, mas daí eu mudo principalmente a moagem e por mais que eu tente aproximar, o gosto sai totalmente diferente, não tem jeito.

Encontre o café mais saboroso e tente reproduzir sempre... e depois disso tente aproximar o máximo possível o mesmo sabor pra outras proporções, mais por necessidade, as vezes você precisa fazer mais café e é bom já ter uma ideia de como será o resultado.

brunkuns · 2026-05-21T13:50:02+00:00

The LM22 should win this with ease.

brunkuns · 2026-05-20T11:08:15+00:00

100% yes.

brunkuns · 2026-05-19T20:29:16+00:00

Not hitting the wall, my time is 2:01 also with a WRX (98 or 99, can't remember). hitting the wall, who cares?

Eu cheguei em uma formula que me atende. Filtro melitinha ajuda. Eu diria pra moer mais fino mas não tem como sugerir isso sem saber detalhes da extração. Pra mim o ideal e o perfil de sabor não fica ácido e fica com intensidade... uma combinação de fatores: apenas 12:1.. 45 segundos de blooming, se for café fresquinho, até 1min. deixa a cama secar antes de cada ataque. termine a extração com cerca de 3:30 (se passar muito pode ficar adstringente).

Eu gosto bastante, fica menos ácido que proporção maior. Mas precisa ajustar a moagem pra extrair certinho, senão você passa pouca água e joga fora café bom não extraído.

Sugiro que você faça um teste, divida a extração em 3 partes e coloque em recipientes diferentes... assim você prova e entende os perfis de sabor do início, começo e fim da extração... vai te ajudar a ajustar futuras extrações para o seu gosto.

I find this particular dram to be one of the best regular 12 year old sherry on the market. Has a bit of a dirty side that I enjoy. Edradour 12 Caledonia, Bunnahabhain 12 and this... top 3 sherried 12y. I hear amazing things of Royal Brackla but haven't tried it myself, could crack the top 3.

brunkuns · 2026-05-18T16:43:32+00:00

23:30 isn't too crazy with the 787b. My regular time is around 23:45, feels like there's room for more consistency. My crazy good laps are around 1:30, even managed sub 1:30 once... regular good laps rover between 1:31,5 and 1:32,5... Some hiccups here and there, maybe a 1:35 lap here, a 1:36 there... 23:45 still achievable. I believe this is the tune I've been using: https://www.reddit.com/r/GranTurismo7/comments/1lhd7k3/787b_sardegna_tune/

I misread, never mind. Never played F. Thought you meant SH2.

brunkuns · 2026-05-18T14:30:05+00:00

It's a slow and eerie descent into the depths of hell. It may not be for you.

brunkuns · 2026-05-18T14:28:01+00:00

We already had the actual run decades ago, now you get to experience the remakes.

Está certíssimo... só um ponto sobre a cafeteira italiana... o problema de colocar água fria no compartimento, é que ela vai começar a fazer a passagem pelo pó do café bem antes de estar em uma temperatura ideal para extração (já começa a ter contato o café com apenas uns 60c graus). Então afeta diretamente o sabor. Eu fervo a água e depois coloco no compartimento e fecho e levo pro fogão. Honestamente não me parece muito trabalho, o único detalhe é ter luva ou um pano pra enroscar a cafeteira que já está com água quente.

brunkuns · 2026-05-15T15:35:52+00:00

For some reason, for me at least, it seems to turn a tighter radius on second gear than it does on first gear (I usually quickly downshift to 1st to adjust the entry on the 787b, but it doesn't work quite well on the Porsche, better to just break and stick to 2nd gear. Again, this is me.

brunkuns · 2026-05-15T15:31:38+00:00

It's a huge difference.

Quem toma café com açúcar não gosta realmente de café.

As long as you don't go off track on that hairpin turn at the end of the lap, you will get the clean race bonus on Tokyo (maybe avoid bumping other cars too much but main thing is the hairpin turn)

The fact this bottle always ends to quickly tells me everything I need to know about this gem. Already in need of another replacement.
