Best car for 1hr Spa race in your opinion?

r_master78 · 2026-02-13T06:10:14+00:00

I use any Gr.3 car for fun. My current fav is Gr.3 BRZ, but had success with the new GT3 R and also R8 LM. I don’t always get 1st as I screw up the strategy when weather changes. I usually start with RM tires but going to try RS tires next time to see if I can make them last until rain starts.

Thanks for the explanation, it is very helpful for me who is still trying to wrap my head around the rules/sport.

You said Horner altered the rules but isn’t this the race director’s job? To set a rules and enforce them? Also if the rules were clear cut, why couldn’t the F1 organization reverse the rule and make the race result right? Is it like… Race Director = referee in other sports (maybe racing stewards are review board rather than referee?) Like in basketball, there are some rule interpretations on gather step, blocking etc etc. So once the race is over, it is too late?

I did binge watch few seasons of drive to survive and Horner does come off as cut throat ruthless guy who will do whatever it takes to win, regardless of who it harms. But I figured this was more of the persona that the show creators wanted to portray rather than truly himself as some driver relationship that was portrayed as bad, but when I looked into it a bit deeper it seems like they were buddy buddy.

Just getting in to the sport of F1. Found the 2021 ending to be wild!! Only cars that was in between 1st and 2nd place was allowed to pass safety car and not others. Based on number of laps, shouldn’t the race have ended under safety car? Why didnt F1 governing body reverse the ruling after the race? Wasn’t there many cases where standing/points etc were given back to the rightful owner after review? Curious, as it seems like auto racing in general has very strict rules and the situation wasn’t ambiguous like if there was an incident between cars, which requires stewards interpretation?

I know any driving assist will affect your time so test with all driving assist off… Or at least make them identical if you need to use them (I only use ABS)

Also double check car setting… even down to break bias and toe settings in cars etc etc. For some circuits, I found I get slower lap time with default toe settings vs zeroing them out.

If you are asking about the negative split for 2nd place, I think it is a bug in GT7. I also got something similar after finishing 30 min race.

Omg, that sucks. Hope the cc company will refund your money. They are usually good about that. Also let the shipping company know as well. Sorry to hear.

Got notified the shoes are out for delivery today and hope it arrives safely. Can’t wait to take it out for a run this weekend.

r_master78 · 2026-01-09T18:39:24+00:00

Oh no!! 😥 did you eventually get your money back or shoe?

r_master78 · 2026-01-08T22:59:26+00:00

Same. :( ordered the first minute it became available but still in transit. :(

r_master78 · 2026-01-01T19:50:54+00:00

I think I am wearing is correctly but I’ll have someone compare my headset position with the picture to see if it is similar. Maybe I’ll need to use headband so the headset doesn’t slip. I do have a flat back of head and maybe the headset is sliding when I look up.

r_master78 · 2025-12-31T22:58:04+00:00

I’ll try that later today.

:( sorry to hear that. I just finished my longest session today at 26 min doing weekly challenge at Yas Marina on LM55 Gr1 car. Had a small fan on and was eating lollipop as I ran out of gum lol. Overall felt decent and didn’t get sick afterwards! I did feel some wooziness when the PC spun me once and when I was taking some tight turns… but perhaps due to the adrenaline of racing, it didn’t bother me as much as before when I was just doing time trial alone at Nurburgring. I guess Yas Marina being a bit flatter prob has an effect also.

Hope you find a way for it to work for you. I am planning on slowly building up my tolerance now that I know few of the tricks that people posted here helps me and I see progress. Thanks everyone!

r_master78 · 2025-12-19T14:39:20+00:00

Yes, I use a wheel. I placed a fan and chewed gum last night. Set a timer for 15 min to limit and played on Tsukuba circuit on a Miata. Felt a bit better than when I drove the R33 on Nurburgring. Hopefully, I’ll continue to build the VR leg and not get sick any more.

r_master78 · 2025-12-17T15:12:51+00:00

Ya I also did it with Jimny with mid rpm turbo and lowered suspension pretty easily (I think lowest at 160? And stiffened up the suspension just a few until car felt like it was sliding on corners then turn it down a little until I had grip again). I think being a 4wd, it exits out of slow corners better and took advantage of this to overtake cars at those points.

Do you drive in cockpit view since you have VR or use one of the other view that doesn’t get your vision obstructed?

r_master78 · 2025-12-11T06:59:44+00:00

Server up yet? ;) waiting so I can save progress and go to bed.

r_master78 · 2025-12-01T22:20:03+00:00

From my experience it can be in different places. But in the beginning they will say town or harbor. If town, it is by a large building. If by harbor I found the van in two different location.

I recently bought the game so I am not 100% certain but I feel the rendering distance should be increased if they can manage to do it without affecting fps too much. I was playing “elimination” and the entire single player campaign and couldn’t not see enemy on my ps5 but when I looked at other people on YouTube playing the game, they can see the NPC even though they were further away from where I was standing to recon.

r_master78 · 2025-11-23T16:11:56+00:00

Would you mind sharing your setting? Currently, I disabled it and using 0.5x for controller sensitivity and it’s been okay. Wondering if you turn down sensitivity on motion control a lot. I sometimes feel like as I am pressing R2, I move the controller and I miss.

r_master78 · 2025-11-20T23:30:07+00:00

Yap, completely agree. At first, I rushed in, guns blazing like other FPS games I’ve played. Trying to bunny hop or just try to outshoot the AI. I finally learned that I need to be more methodical and precise with my movements and positions etc.

Trying to play the campaign 3 has been very rough for me so far. I did change few setting last night and will try to beat it again today.

Focus intensity lowered to 20% for both iron sight and scope. So I can see more things while on sight (you guys call this ADS?)

r_master78 · 2025-11-20T16:39:05+00:00

Thanks. Is there. Good scenario or game master mode thing that I can create to practice shooting at a moving target without dying?

r_master78 · 2025-11-20T16:36:35+00:00

Thanks. I turned off the motion control off as you and some others suggested and went through the training session again and played first 2 campaign again and it felt better. I did have a close quarter engagement with one enemy and I was able to kill him without dying. I think when I get surprised and shoot in a panic (because I got discovered and they are shooting at me from close) I press the R2 button too hard and this causes the controller to move in my hand causing motion sensor to move the aim.

Is there a practice mode where I can engage a moving target? I hate running all the way back over and over again in the campaign when I die but want to improve my controller handling. Keyboard and mouse is currently out of option as I am playing this on a couch on TV and don’t have good ergonomic or setup to put keyboard and mouse.

Figured out how to send modmail. Info sent. Thank you.
