    Interesting actually.
    I have never actually not enjoyed a race until Nurburgring GP last week. I would've rage quit, but didn't want to forfeit any points for last place lol.
    I wasn't sure if it was the track or the car. I could not for the life of stop spinning out when applying the accelerator. I could only clear a corner if I accelerated in a dead straight line. Braking was a similar experience.
    I do hate that track, but I thought I'd go a bit better. I did some practice this morning on Deep Forest and didn't seem to have any problems. I did it on a controller this morning. I'll do another practice with the wheel and hope it's the same.

    Couple of things you can try.
    Use TC, maybe on 1 or 2 until you get a better feel for the car.
    Ease the throttle on out of the corners until your pointed straight and then apply full throttle.
    Exit in higher gear e.g. you might drop down to 2nd but short shift up to 3rd.
    And if you mentally expect the oversteer your ready to counter it.

    I'd recommend using TC and working out how to stop it activating. As TF said , ease into the throttle when coming out of the corners, making sure to also open out the steering to prevent that dreaded spin. Making sure to get the correct line is also a must in this car due to its mechanics.
    This is what I've done over the years to slowly learn to get faster and not use TC.

    I started on TC1 and increased it to 2. I could only roll around corners. The slightest pressure on the pedal resulted in a spin. I tried gear 2 and 3 on the same corners on different laps. I could not figure it out.

    Get in the BRZ, go to Deep Forest in the world circuits area. select custom race in the bottom right corner, set up a race, the race will set to BOP automatically, Make it 16 laps and the same settings for the Sunday event to make it a realistic trial.

    Round 2: 30/07 - Deep Forest Raceway Sprint Round - 2x 16 Laps - Early Morning / Afternoon - 5x

    [​IMG]

    WELCOME to Season 6 for Gran Turismo 7!!
    As always please take a couple minutes to read the following so you have an understanding of what is expected on race night.
    If you have any questions, or want clarification on any of the rules or regulations please ask!

    ROOM OPEN:
    Room captains may have practice rooms open beforehand but should have the official room up by 7:30pm AEST. Please be on time, or let the room captain or div thread know if you may be late. If all agree, the room may wait for you, Within reason. Please remember we have drivers from NZ, and later starts mean a much later night for them.

    SIGHT ISSUES:
    Before qualifying, exit to lobby and spend 30 seconds in spectate mode, scroll through the list of drivers on track and make sure that you can see their car. If you can't see somebody (and they are confirmed as being on track), exit the lobby, re-join, and check again. Type the number of cars you can see in the lobby chat and cross check with other drivers to ensure clarity.

    QUALIFYING : 8pm AEST for 10 mins.
    Feel free to run practice laps prior to qualifying, The host will trigger a 'Room Reset' closer to the commencement of Qualifying.

    PITS ARE OPEN DURING QUALIFYING

    RACE START TIME : 8:15pm AEST & Approx 8:45pm AEST

    LAG ISSUES / ROOM RESTARTS:
    This is up to the room host/captains. If there is a Disconnection (or cars stuck on grid) at race start, it is sporting to try to get them back in, which may mean a new room to be set up. I would suggest only having 1 restart if required due to DSC, due to having to set up the room from scratch and also having to set timed laps in order to set the grid. Please be as reasonable as you can with this....

    TURN 1 LAP 1:
    The old saying goes, you can’t win the race on lap 1, but you can definitely lose it. Please be mindful of other drivers on lap 1 coming into turn 1, and for that matter, the entire race. It can be very demoralizing to hot lap on your own for 45 minutes as I'm sure many of you are aware.

    TRACK LIMITS:
    As we are running with 'track limit penalties" OFF, we will run with our usual Raceonoz track limit regulations. This means you MUST have at least 2 wheels on the ripple strip OR white line that defines the track limit. If you do make a mistake and have to run outside the limits, be aware that you are not allowed to gain any advantage, position or time wise. Track Limits protests may be launched by any active driver in the race.


    Track Limits will be monitored generally around the entire circuit, with a keen focus tonight on overtakes completed OUTSIDE TRACK LIMITS. Track Limits will still be defined as two wheels on the kerb, or white line, whichever is furthest out.

    The exit of Turn 10 is free game.


    CONTACT:
    Is to be avoided at all times..... If you make contact with someone and gain an advantage, YOU ARE EXPECTED to give the spot back. Occasionally, Gran Turismo track limits may teleport a disadvantaged driver backwards on circuit to ‘reset’ them, if this occurs at the hand of another driver, IT IS EXPECTED that the driver at fault will wait and redress the position.
    Side by side 'rubbing' is racing is allowed and promoted within reason, but all drivers are expected to give racing room. For clarity surrounding racing room, please feel free to PM @Viperzed
    Show each other RESPECT! It is difficult enough to drive the car at the limit on your own, without someone squeezing you within a millimeter of the grass.
    So be patient and show respect to your fellow drivers.
    If you are redressing contact, please do so out of the way of other cars, off the racing line, or if there isn't much room, off track.

    PIT ENTRY/EXIT LINES:
    Pit Line Penalties are ON so you will be penalised in game if you cut any part of the entry or exit lines. Be mindful entering the pits that the lines are tight and the chicane in entry can be very misleading. You may receive a penalty for overstepping the mark on entry. On pit exit, cars exiting the lane are to stay drivers left if they are rejoining in traffic.

    BLUE FLAGS:
    Please observe blue flags, and move out of the way of faster cars if you are being lapped. Failure to observe blue flags WILL result in a penalty

    STEWARDS GROUP AND RACE PROTESTS:
    This season, the Head Steward will be @Viperzed. If you have reason to protest, please SAVE YOUR REPLAY, and then let him know via a PM.
    DO NOT BLOW UP IN THE FORUM OR IN THE ROOM CHAT. There have been multiple incidents where the replays from drivers have been different, so its true that sometimes things are not as black and white as they may seem. You have until MIDNIGHT, Monday night to register your protest via PM. Stewards may ask for video evidence from both drivers or room captains to make any decision.

    SAVE YOUR REPLAY:
    If the room host can ask all drivers to save their replay would be good before exiting the room.....once they exit out and the option goes, it cant be retrieved!

    PARKING UP:
    If you are unable to continue to race, please enter the pits and leave your game paused without selecting tyres so that your car stays parked in the pits. Parking up off track activates yellow flags in the sector, and even though penalties are off, we have reports of penalties occurring for passes happening near the parked car. Quitting off track results in a sometimes race ending lag spike and may be punished in extreme scenarios.

    ATTENDANCE:
    Could all drivers please inform Room Captains or make a post on the division thread if they do not intend on racing on Sunday night, Room Captains/ Lobby Hosts are advised not to wait for anyone who has not communicated their intentions. If you do not post in your room thread or psn chat that you cannot attend, a spot may not be held for you for the following weeks race.

    TRACK SPECIFIC - Deep Forest



    Deep Forest is a Gran Turismo classic currently built with a modern GT7 twist. It is a community favourite which often produces stellar racing. Remember that Turn 10 can be fully extended, the hairpin may be looked at for extensions on exit.

    There is NO MANDATORY PIT STOP OR TIRE CHANGE for this round. As this is the sprint round, you are free to run whichever tire you like for as long as you like, without needing to pit. Keep an eye on the fuel gauge!

    Afternoon,
    Room will be up at 7.30.
    I have set tyres to RS only to save any mistakes on tyre choice, don't want your night ruined by having default Rm on.
    Join asap so we can see any issues, don't have to drive just be in .
    Join chat if you can, makes it easier for communication.
    Quali and race starts will be posted in room messages regardless.
    Save your replays for stewarding purposes and/or the joy of watching back .
    Good luck, see you there.
