I honestly think they’ve done a decent job on trying to make the game ‘realistic’ - that is the idea. Trail braking and understeer is very hard to get right in real life, so it should be hard to do on a driving simulator game. Unfortunately for me on controller, its less playable 😢. As an A rated driver - I have found adapting very difficult, but I will still keep trying.

​@tom2443 Usually when you approach a corner you do all of your braking in a straight line and steer through the corner without applying the brakes again. Trail braking is the act of lightly applying the brakes through the corner to allow for more rotation and getting on the throttle earlier.

I like the update. I find myself playing AC or ACC more often just because of the weird things that are required from you in GT7 to be fast. The snappy turn-in that all of the fast players do is unintuitive and clumsy if you're used to how a car is supposed to handle. One of my main complaints about this game has been the unrealistic amount of speed someone can carry through a corner, and its finally been fixed. +1 in my book. 5:45 is a perfect example - you shouldnt be able to crank the steering at that speed and not expect understeer.

I love the new options there are at, or just past, the limit to play with. Dabs of handbrake and power slides feel so much better in 4wd and rally cars, while neutral steer/4 wheel slides can be controlled with the throttle or brake nicely. Overall the new physics are great, much closer to real life and much more intuitive. But also, except for a few boaty FR cars, it's all much more fun to me.

I find that not applying 100% brakes on corner entry leads to far more oversteer than when I go full on. If ever I want to induce understeer I just mash the brakes. On throttle feels more progressive to induce oversteer. I'm using medium ABS, no TC or stability control, and all on controller.

the force feedback changes are causing massive issues depending on what controller/wheel you are using. I had to change my ff and g29 wheel & pedal sensitivity to improve my tyre wear by 20%. did a test on suzuka with vantage gr3, 5 laps, 5x tyre, 5x fuel. the difference was the last lap with nearly 0 front tyre both left and right before vs 30% remaining on front left and 15% remaining on front right after the changes. not very realistic at all considering i'm doing the exact same lap, time, line and input on each comparison. I suspect there are other changes here but they are just mysterious and complicate the argument whether or not the physics are broken. so many variables here. I do think the physics have good changes, it feels more predictable now and on a g29 its much easier to predict a loss of control and regain control from a slide or spin.

[@Wolpiletti]

I like the update - feels more realistic to me. Went from average 2,2% in time trail to 1.8% so far. Didn’t change my driving stile at all and can ride on the edge more comfortable🤔

[@capusvacans]

I play with a controller, which of course is a tad different. The main issue i'm encountering is that you now need more precise inputs on braking, and well, that's definitely the hardest thing to do on the controller. My laptimes have taken quite a dive since this new update. Also, i mainly drive gt3's, so... yey. Another issue i had was the weekly race with the new lambo (gallardo iirc), that was hilarious, i couldn't complete a single lap without the car massively snapping on me on the exit of corners. And of course with the braking inputs now needing to be more precise, i didn't have a good time going into many of the corners either. I didn't really bother with trying to get to grips with the car either, just win the race, get the credits and move on. So definitely some shared responsibility between me and the new update when it comes to my performance there. I don't know, up to now, I can only give this update a big thumbs down. I don't drive roadcars, so them getting better doesn't really affect me, but the gt3's performing worse really bugs me, as that is 90% of my racing. Again, it may be different on a steering wheel as pedals do allow more precise control, but with a controller, it really got a lot harder imo. My avg laptimes on nurnburgring 24h are atm still 4 seconds slower than they used to be, and I do end up kissing the barrier and mowing the lawn a lot more often now. It just got waaay too snappy for me to be able to overcome with the controller. Maybe after enough time i'll get the hang of it, but right now, it's pretty terrible.

Yes, Porsche is practically undriveable in Bathurst. Turn 2 and downhill is very hard to do on controller. The rear snaps all the time since you need to trail brake between 20 and 30% which is very hard to do if you only have 10 mm of movement on the controller with zero feedback which you get using a wheel. 1 mm too much input means your rear goes and 1 mm below means you miss the corner. To be that precise you need massive talent or practice. I did around 6h in Gr. 3 and still can’t handle the cars with low A+ DR. Can only imagine how bad it is for average player. Trail braking in some turns is just way too hard on pad like watkins glen right hander uphill. Even if the rear doesn’t go you need to release the brake very very gentle and i am not able to do it consistently. It took the fun out of the game for me for now. Hope either i improve massively or PD adjusts things.

ABS works weirdly in this game. You can brake at 50% and there's still a red rectangle. The way the fastest people drove is by slamming the brakes to 100% until the turning starts. I never could do that kind of driving so I'm glad they changed it

[@munkytaint666]

i've only spent 8-9 hours in GT since the new physics, and very little of that in the wet, but I must say, I'm enjoying the new handling a lot. Not sure if it just happens to suit my driving style, but more importantly, I feel like the FFB has improved a lot. The FFB seems to be much more informative, enabling me to correct out of a mistake more easily b/c I have a greater understanding about how the tyres and suspension are reacting to the track. I did experience the understeer quite a bit too while getting used to the Eiger Nordwand, but it didn't seem overly prevalent on other tracks. Maybe those hairpins just tend to make Eiger a bit more of a front limited track. (the ft tyre wear outpaced the rears noticeably due to the fronts sliding a lot)

[@AlessandroV_7]

Gr.2 grip is insane you can go under 2min30sec at Suzuka on slicks with torrential rain (I have a video that proves it)

[@leojennings2438]

I am a rare gt7 player using the tilt function of a PS4 controller to drive and I conducted a little scientific experiment, driving a gr.3 around deep forest. My findings are that my time after the update was _three seconds_ off my old time. It wasn't the car; I just couldn't drive the thing anymore. Bonkers amounts of understeer and paradoxically a far looser rear end on the power. Driving the honda F1 thingy demonstrates the steering changes very well. My personal take is that this update is a net negative really, but only in its implementation. It makes the game a lot less accessible for those not willing/able to fork out the money for a wheel, and I feel like the understeering on the brakes is the key part of this. It feels like there is a huge reduction in mechanical grip specifically.

This update took my mc 20 build from 870pp to 780 it’s tragic

[@matos_x_]

My cars are the opposite. Road cars limited to 600pp, sport tires. Now theyre 608-615pp. To adjust i cut power, depending on the car theyre all down 30-60hp. This plus rolling resistance is higher and theres no more top end. Sadge 😢

[@griffinfaulkner3514]

​@@matos_x_It's so hilariously bi-polar in some cases, for the RS5 DTM car I had to lop 20 horsepower off, add a full hundred points of downforce to the rear, switch to hard tires, and finally (this is the big one) add 93 extra kg of ballast to get it back down to 800pp. Compare that to the CLK GTR, which I added 15 horsepower to, switched to softs, pulled all of the ballast out of, and took 30 points of downforce off the rear. In both cases the car has zero turn-in, worse top speed, and at least for the CLK, a significantly snappier rear end on throttle.

Also note that the 'less rear downforce' bit is literally 5 points (I dramatically overestimated what the difference was and had to double-check) , and the increased power should've been offset by the switch to softs instead of mediums.

As someone who doesn't play and only watches, this seems like an amazing update. The dry seems to just be adjusting yourself to this being the new normal, and some tweaking will, of course, be done still. Wet seems incredible. Dirt, too, although that's hard to notice at times with the fixed camera, makes everything look less smooth/good. I love the idea of people with different lines and strategies that work with different cars battling in the wet. Looking forward to that, I'd love to see more variation like the Mitsubishi recently. It's so nice to see different cars in action. Cheers

[@macsmith2013]

Love the track, hate the physics mostly, mixed bag over all. Some cars became uncontrolable under brakes compared to before, spinning out on straights without steering input. PP ratings changed requring re-tuning to keep them in their PP ranges, costing up to 5 seconds in lap times. On the plus side, rally/dirt handling improved significantly and is actually fun now. Wheel/FFB settings are apparently glitched for some wheels, but can't confirm for the lack of a wheel.

[@perfectmazda3538]

You say "it's hard to steer" with a nice set, imagine steering with the joystick, it's a nightmare.... i go slow and have a sharp turn, i let go of the gas and add no brake since i was already slow, but the car goes straight, it doesn't even flinch... and i myself have driven sporty cars like RX-8, i gotta say that reality is much different from the game, in reality even if you go fast, the car turns any way you want...

Everytime they do this I quit playing for several months until I find the desire to deal with retuning all my favorite custom builds. First time it was 6 months. Second time was 7 months. Edit. Call me crazy. The night if the update I played the game immediately after the update. The car I was racing just before the update added 3- 6 seconds onto every race. Ran them all twice with same results across the board. Went to bed pissed. Today. I play again. Same car. Same races. All races shaved 3-5 seconds off the times I set the morning(4am) of the update. Did they change something to fix the glitches from the update or am I experiencing something else? Car did feel more planted with less snap oversteer despite still being floaty and bouncy from the update. Weird. Oh and BTW use the new free PP points to lighten your car if possible. Grip is where you lost the points gained from the update.

[@kennygo5053]

[@qsh86]

The braking distances are longer because you can't stamp on the brakes any more, you need to adjust braking force not allowing ABS to kick in to much. I love it. Check the braking force bar and adjust to it. After you learn, it feels great and the car want to turn as well. Change in ABS behavior was mentioned in patch notes.

[@naico144]

How do you those changes?

[@theminec]

​@@naico144 don't brake at full pressure heading into a corner: give it around 85ish percent brake pressure and bleed it off as your speed decreases (to stop the ABS from interfering), more so once you begin to turn the car. You can hold about 5-10% brake pressure as you move into the corner to eek out some extra rotation (trail braking). It works quite well.

[@naico144]

@@theminec ohhh I see, thanks. I always had this doubt about the game, but is it faster with or without ABS now? Before I think it was faster with ABS on right?

I have no experience track racing in real life but i have some experience in offroad racing and I always thought there was too much going on with the wheel but now I have to say I like how the car lands and settles on the dirt now but the gliding feels like you are on a frozen lake covered in powder snow and I'm not really feeling the bumps and camber of the track, feels a bit dull. It's kind of like feeling up your partner with oven mitts on if that makes sense. So somewhere in between would be the sweet spot for me realism wise. Kudos on the Jordan livery btw.

@SuperGT, I noticed a massive tyre wear issue from using a g29 wheel.

I'm doing the exact same lap, time, line and did a comparison on suzuka with 5 laps, 5x tyre, 5x fuel in a vantage gr3. I can't comprehend what is causing the massive difference but there's alot going on here. This update probably means everyone will have a different experience and clinical testing needs to be done to get to the bottom of this mess! I have a feeling something is wrong with the tyre model which clouds the improvements of the more realistic handling physics.
