5 Things GT7 Players Don't Understand About Driving Assists!

Any driving game i ever play i turn assists off you learn bad habits with them on

my biggest tip is something i use in life when riding my bikes (fireblade and R1).

look where you want to go. for motorcycles there's this issue called target fixation where if youre at risk of crashing, and focus on the area you're trying to avoid, focusing on that area will make it more likely you hit it.

so in sim racers, don't focus on the corners. focus on the track past the corners. your hand eye coordination will work on getting you through the corner.

anyone reading this, give it a shot next time you play if you dont do this already. force yourself to focus beyond the turn and trust your instincts to react.

look at pictures of dudes racing literbikes around corners. look at their helmets and the direction they're facing. they're never looking at the corner in front of them, but the track beyond the corner-where they want to go

to be fair i've been playing GT since GT6 but I find it much more fun to have a high hp rwd car and only run the braking indicator on the gauges... no other assists. TC & ABS set on 0.

Sooo... speaking truth today is "sound like a boomer"?)))

Dont know how to tune my cars😂

You can actually mitigate traction loss on the gas with differential tuning. I have a habit of setting the diff slightly more closed on acceleration than the initial diff, and braking way more open than either. Usually comes out to about:

RWD
Initial: 15-35
Accel: 10-30
Brake: 25-70

FWD
Initial: 10-15
Accel: 5-10
Brake: 15-25

And I keep these numbers for AWD cars rear and front respectively. Diff and Suspension tuning have become vital for someone like me that enjoys drifting above all other driving activities.

The only assists I use are the braking indicator and weak abs. I have a habit of just not braking through a corner until it's too late and flying off the track, so a flashing red light def gets my attention to tell me, "Yo, you're almost at the point of no return." And since I don't have the cash atm to get a rig, I'm stuck with controller and don't have much precise pedal, or in this case trigger control. I prob should use TCS level one, but I do not, and end up losing traction occasionally because of my trigger control.

I actually use the braking lines as a marker i.e. the 5th line in oll start braking. So I always brake way after the recommended starting spot

This vid was spot on, some humor can be found too 😂

I think gt7 needs to fix steering as a whole just bought the game and all cars feel like they are on ice come to a curve and slow down hit stick to left and slide forward

Well I keep crashing until I crash lesser

The braking is too difficult in this game

Real racers use ACC or iRacing anyway.

Lol GT7 drivers who use driver assists don't understand a lot about actual driving.

holy crap the green screen keying looks really good

I use racing lines and braking zones to help learn the courses. If you were a real world driver I’d imagine you’d know the course as if you built it. You don’t have to follow it like it’s the law, you use it like a reference until you know the tracks.

and before any claims Ai can "learn"...it can ONLY copy input data from skilled players who put in the time, and make better strategic driving choices

ABS only man

I see this all the time.
Not know the course not going from outside to inside
Fkn noobs

Tc dosnt really slow you down much at all . In endurance races tc is a god send. Tc off slows me down personally.
