Gran Turismo 7

[Geddes]

I've not played for a long time, I'm very rusty. I did get a taste for it again though, tempted to get a T598 later this year and get a bit more into it.

The thing I find hardest is learning tracks when you're constantly switching between races. I used to do the weekly online races as I liked just perfecting on one track for a few days so might try go back to that.

Will watch that video in a bit, got work in 10 minutes 😭

yeah I'm the same when i started to get back into it months ago it was tough learning the tracks and still don't know some of them and the ones i did on GT Sport i had to re learn them. I played GT7 for a little bit when it came out as i did some Live Stream on the channel and not been on for couple years until now. Starting to get into it but still struggling. I did some Dailys on GT Sport and my mental health wasnt great with the anxiety and pressure of the race, was getting a few podiums but i had to give it up online racing. I did do 1 Daily race on GT7 and that was it, rest on this game is campaign stuff. I do miss the dailys and the podiums but see what happens. I'm still on a controller have no interest on a wheel. There's a lot of competition from Fanatec and Thrustmaster and there talk on a wheel that Super GT uses, can't remember the name but that one uses an adaptor for the PlayStation.

Is there a noticable difference between the 'cheaper' geared/belt driven wheels as opposed to direct drive? Over lockdown I had a T300RS and did some racing with work colleagues but sold it for profit once things were going back to normal but after playing GT7 for a while now I do quite fancy doing it properly with a seat etc

I've never used a DD, I've only ever used the Logitect G27 and then G29/G920 wheels.

At uni my mate had the G27 and I got the G920, then I sold it at the end of uni. I re-bought it but sold again in covid for profit. Would like to try a proper DD now though. I'm going away for 2 months now, but when I'm back in July I might get the T598 and a rig, seem to hold value so can sell again when I never use it 🤣

I can't imagine ever streaming me racing, like you say that's so much pressure.

I remembered that brand I think it’s called Sim Magic, not 100% sure though, heard good things things on the brand.

Yeah, for me doing Live Streams, your watching the screen and your watching at the same comments and thinking about what their saying and what I need to reply with and you loose concentration or ask them what you want for me to do and no one reply’s. I don’t get the views I’d like when I do Live Streams. No pressure and won’t get distracted as other streamers actually do when they race going off track when reading and loose concentration.

Has anyone done any of the Series 1 Prototype races yet, i done the Daytona one couple weeks ago but got another 2 tracks to do and the videos on YouTube are out of date to do with the Updates. Need some advice who's done it recently, if not I'll have another look.

I've just done 3 races for this weeks Weekly Challenges including the World Touring Car 700 at Red Bull, did that first go and it started to rain , ran out of fuel into the entry of the pit lol, also realised i wonder if i have IM or Wet tyres, didn't bother checking before the race and luckly again i had Wet's and they lasted till the end of the race. Quit happy
