Gran Turismo 7: Why Didn't I Know About This Car?

[@eRA-Nick]

Ive done alot of driving in the suzuki, 20-25% is optimum shift. You can save so so much fuel with this car and lose only a tiny amount of pace its amazing

[@nicolasheineberg5530]

Quite incredible

[@fuzzy-daddy83]

Same with the Gr.4 swift. Change at about 6k, save fuel, still go fast. Little secret weapons. Well not now😂

[@Banj95]

It's actually faster shifting at that point since the power curve dips quickly past 10,700 rpm. :D I always thought the VGT sucked 'til I realized shifting earlier did it best both in fuel economy and performance hahaha!

[@supercededman]

@@fuzzy-daddy83 I assume you meant that the RPM shift point for Gr3 is also 6K?

[@Marcushalberstram749]

So you can save fuel and go even faster? That’s ridiculous

Just recently discovered your channel after getting PS5 and GT7 for Christmas (starting at age 52). I'm currently building out a budget cockpit with G29 and Playseat Challenge. It's basic but I'm loving it. Still getting to grips with GT7 (last GT I drove was GT5 on PS3). I'm really enjoying your commentary and quips about the track shenanigans during the race and the the little lessons on how to drive, fuel and tire strategy and so on. I'm learning a lot. Thanks for that and you have a new sub!

[@invisibleni]

Right there with you, same set up and really enjoying it so far, Santa however delivered the Xbox version of the G29 rather than the Playstation version....the silly idiot. So looking forward to the new Forza game coming out

[@toccandocreacanaleulterior176]

I have cheap thrustmaster 🗿

[@mrctuned2844]

If you really get into it, and want to upgrade later on, the Logitech G Pro Direct Drive wheel is just awesome. I've had mine for a month after owning a G25 and G29 for over 15 years and it has improved my times, which is amazing after so many years of experience

[@phunkdoctaspock]

@@mrctuned2844 It's so expensive for what you get, though.

[@mrctuned2844]

@phunkdoctaspock it's expensive, but in my opinion the extra money is felt immediately. The quality is exceptional and to use it, it's an absolute dream. Being able to swap between 5 profiles at the touch of a button is so so nice in GT7 when you are swapping cars so much. I have presets ranging from factory stock cars with light steering and brakes, up to manual steering race cars. Incredibly precise and smooth, with enough feedback to give your arms and shoulders a workout. It's glorious.

[@001sander2]

that camera view on the Suzuki is delightful! I wish other cars had that!

I’m so glad Polyphony decided to add the “Shadow Realm” feature. It was a much needed one for the series.

[@cosmicdust4749]

Fun fact: if you change gears at 10k rpm, this Suzuki becames a bullet, so fast in straights and not too unstable at the corner exit.

[@seyurisu]

I always mindlessly play GT7 when I feel like it, but then get bored from not having too much fun. It's always when watching you videos that I want to go back to playing the game seriously, competitively, but also not taking it too seriously. You make me see that this game can be genuinely enjoyable and realistic if you put in the patience, time and dedication. I hope to get better though, for I always lose patience and go over the car's limits!

[@BastianUllr]

Ease on the assist. Each car has a different balance and behaviour. If you actually like cars and driving, you’ll get a thrill from squeezing performance out of knowing a machine.

[@seyurisu]

@@BastianUllr I really do, however I sometimes think that some cars rely too much on proper tuning, which sometimes gets in the way of a proper driving enjoyment. I don't mind learning about tuning, but some cars I try to improve become simply undrivable, and I end up not using them anymore, from not being able to fix it.

[@yuranabdul7081]

this car is OP please do more races with it

[@Mark-oe1df]

9:55 never realized how good the sound was in tunnels for cars

[@GivemeTHEfoodNOW]

It is just added reverb, and yes ... reverb makes almost anything sound better.

[@Banj95]

I love the VGT a lot! I'm also signed up for Suzuki this season just to give it a try. The VGT sure handles weird compared to most FR Gr. 3 race cars but damn that top-end is super! I always thought the VGT sucked at first due to the poor fuel economy and dying power at the top 'til I realized it was actually great (even better than many Gr. 3 cars) when you shift optimally below the halfway point at the rev counter.

[@tylerjohnson5206]

REST IN PEACE KEN BLOCK YOU ARE A TRUE LEGEND AND THE REASON I LOVE CARS

[@Suprchrg2SS.LS3]

Steve, regarding on staying with the Porsche or any other vs Suzuki(15:07)fuel mixture advantage/hp power, there are the other Key Factors in which you were doing...The draft/Slipstreaming.. like you said this can save some fuel, another.. quick shifting(no over rev)better powere band can save fuel also. Another idea? upgraded adjustable transmission if available and if race permitted. Ugh the ominous Penalty! For sure you would had gotten a better podium finish(1st place) but this was your first try driving the Suzuki. Anyways ... Great Video, Good Job Securing 3rd Podium Finish ! 🤟🤟 ps YESSS We will miss ..Ken Block..Rest In Peace !🙏🙏

[@rogerdelunel9205]

"Do you remember when Suzuki made the most OP car in the game? Pepperidge Farm remembers". The guys at the factory must have had some Escudo engines lying around and they just put it on the VGT.

[@alinfriedman8080]

Those top tips are my favorite part of the video. They help me so much in real life driving. Thank you so much SuperGT!

[@wesleygama968]

[@christopherward9053]

Love your humour on this video, effin brilliant. Oh, the race was quite good as well 😁

[@metrorock68]

3:30 I was thinking this while watching you go through qualifying.. It's similar to motorcycles, where using only about 3/4 of the rev range gets you the most efficient laps because it keeps you in the power band for longer. I had a suspicion that this car would want to act the same due to the manufacturer.. 😂

[@whiplash8277]

Nice run, GT. Happy New Year from the USA.

[@AndyBettencourt]

I think you will also find that a car with poor aero like the Suzuki (open top) will benefit more from the slipstream than a car with good aero.

[@freightshayker]

Cinderella story here at Augusta. Incredible finish. Starting fourteenth ending up P3. Absolutely amazing. Suzuki racing. Garage with big smiles ...

[@saundersroe656]

Deep Forest reverse is not just the better option, it's actually one of my favorite track layouts this game has. I don't know why but it is so much fun to drive really. It's like it was intended from the beginning to go that way instead. Very strange...

[@fittpatley]

El Capitan on gt4 in reverse was awesome too.

[@timeluster]

I don't play GT7 but I was surprised to see this was the reverse track. Watching the video I would never have guessed. I bet that hairpin is a nightmare for divebombs on the forward layout.

Outside that first hairpin, I love the flow of this track.

[@freeclimb5487]

I've had my eye on this car. It reminded me of the concept car way back in gt3. That car was phenomenal. Don't remember the manufacturer but I think it was Suzuki and looked a lot like this one.

[@craigchristian344]

4:22 move, never mind the overtake look at the amount of time you eat up on the pack ahead!! That's what blew my mind!

[@bryanherman1035]

Shifting at the horsepower peak of the engine is always optimal, as long as you don't drop below torque peak on the shift. If it does drop too low, the solution is changing ratio, either in the gearbox or differential. It seemed like you were shifting somewhere in between peak torque and peak horsepower. There might be some time to gain there by changing your shift points.

[@MrSn3akr]

Would love to see a do over with at better qualifying.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a little more Suzuki. It looks amazing.

[@timwhitman3207]

I think people just use the meta car because they see everyone else doing it. Not because whatever car is meta at the moment is truly THAT much faster than all the other cars. People just lack imagination so they pick what everyone else is picking. I think on any given track you can usually make at least 3 cars work if you actually wanted to, people just follow the herd.

Hey Steve, I just got GT7, first foray into sim racing on console. I've been a wheel user for two years on PC, and I feel I'd be faster if I had a wheel on PS5 as well, But is it worth buying another wheel for GT7?
