How To Get Faster on Gran Turismo 7 - Ep. 1: Gr3 Sardegna A

[@tactownturbotime982]

Great video dude, sometimes I forget why I play the game when I’m struggling to find pace, thanks for the reminder to have fun! We all appreciate any input your willing to share with us about the fast guys and how they operate

[@e_geerestein]

Love the idea of this vid/series. As a noob, I appreciate tips like shifting the Genesis at 90%. Here are a few other things I (and my noob brethren) would want a pro’s input on: 1. How to figure out independently when is the optimal shifting point of any given car? I’m guessing there’s a way to read the car’s settings and figure it out? 2. More detailed explanation of the tuning, and how the pros arrive at those numbers. I’m not nearly consistent enough to be able to tell if a small adjustment is what got me my best lap, but if I could at least understand why pros want certain adjustments for certain cars/tracks. You touched on it today briefly. 3. Less of just telling us the braking markers you use, and more of the “why”. For example, maybe you choose a late braking point because you don’t care about maximizing exit speed on that turn? I guess the thought process is what would be more helpful, seems most KZbinrs just tell us their markers and nothing more. 4. More detailed explanation of throttle usage, like where in the turn are you coasting, when are you at 50%, etc. Similarly, today’s vid was good in that you explained your choice of gears, and why you prefer 3rd mostly (“less sketchy”). That helps! Maybe even more detail of the risk reward imbalance and why 3rd is the smarter play. 5. A cool idea for a vid would be to talk out loud for an entire race, constantly saying what you’re thinking. Ex.: approaching a turn might sound like: “Here we go, slamming the brakes at the 100, down to 1, straight to 3, don’t touch the grass, back to full throttle… now!”. You’re the funnest racer to watch IMO, thanks for the content.

[@WindGT7]

Thanks mate, so I really appreciate the feedback and yes I can expand more on the points you talked about e.g. explaining why I brake here, the setup(I'm still far from an expert on) and also how to shift the car whilst expanding more on the throttle and brake usage, this is very useful so I appreciate it.

[@chrismatthews5655]

Thank you so much.. no word of a lie I got my time down from 1.43.02 down to 1.41.8 and that was after 2 laps on medium tyres. Switched onto soft and pull 1.41.05 on my first flying lap.

[@DigitalRelay]

This kind of breakdown, detailed analysis is fantastic. It'd be great to see more videos like this!

[@amateurgtdriver]

Mate, this is a brilliant video and I think it's great that you are willing to share your expertise to us plebs. Keep grinding Wind, the world is yours.

[@WindGT7]

Thanks Freddy

[@davidshekhter5284]

Great breakdown and analysis. New sub here as i enjoy being competitive in the daily races and have limited time to "get up to speed" on a proper way to run a track.

[@WindGT7]

Thank you and good that you are enjoying the game, will be doing more of these videos in the future and especially when I have the opportunity to race again

[@JimmyZ408]

I appreciate sharing your thoughts on this. Saw a bunch of things I was doing right and other things to try, Thanks Wind!

[@WindGT7]

Thanks Jimmy

[@ericcasado568]

Good stuff Wind! Is nice to have some more insight into why a setup is the way it is, and the in-depth analysis of every corner. I will be watching this every week.

[@WindGT7]

Thank you :)

[@ModPapa]

Thank you Wind, we appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise!

[@WindGT7]

Thanks Papa

[@neonsphere]

Hey Wind. Great to find you on YT and very informative vid. Liked and subbed mate.

[@wezzleonwheels]

Thanks for your knowledgeable input Wind ... it is really good to hear a lap broken down by someone with the skills and knowledge that you have. Keep these coming, they are really good for us bunnies to watch and learn! Thanks!!

[@jessejames1999]

Great vid from a v fast driver , would love to see you give us more tips and vids mate . Excellent stuff

[@WindGT7]

Thank you, for sure will do more I plan to do these videos once every week

[@SplintDriftwood]

Nice one Wind 😉 really appreciate a top driver sharing his insight and breaking down the track for us novices. The added suspension settings is throwing a spanner in the works for me; i need to understand them more and how they work with the car. I look forward to you doing more of these. 👍👍👍

[@WindGT7]

Thanks for the feedback, yes the suspension settings are painful I only understand them for FR cars as for MR I have got no clue currently, I will also try to do these videos every week

[@FreshTireStreams]

Great video m8, I’m going to try this set up later hopefully it helps my road to a A+ driver 👍

[@Abonnentenbettler]

Another professional youtuber .

[@WindGT7]

Thanks Echter

[@ZH3HbK4]

Very nice! We need more like this, hope you will make those videos every week 👌

[@WindGT7]

Thank you, this is a series so I will try and do a video every week if I am free

[@marco_cfs]

Thank you Wind! Nice and useful

[@alexeivozniuk720]

car settings is what scares me a lot. have no clue how to manage those options. thank you for sharing

[@TSXChef]

Nice video Wind, like this new series. BTW, (you may know this already) if you push controller "Option" button while on Replays, you can stop the video without having to see the menu pop-up. Thanks for helping us slow drivers! 🙂 cheers

[@WindGT7]

Thank You, yes I need some help aswell with some stuff as I am not an expert on everything 😅🤣

[@reglis2336]

Thank you very much for this very useful explanation, it's a pity that I don't understand English, fortunately I have the translator👏👏👏👍

Thanks Flash

[@clacky78]

Nice video Wind, look forward to the new series continuing 👍 will we ever see you try VR?! I know its a pain for streaming, but it is so good.

[@WindGT7]

Thanks Clacky, about VR I'd like to try it 1 day it looks fun but I don't know if I have the money to get one currently

[@clacky78]

@@WindGT7 yeah get that they are expensive. Hopefully a successful KZbin channel will pay for it one way or another. Once you get used to it the sense of speed and distance is different level.

[@Brigsbee]

I like these kind of videos thank you wind for helping 👍 I could definitely use it haha

[@WindGT7]

This is why I am starting to them, and also no problem 😉

[@tom42bates]

Thanks for the helpful advice and taking the time to make this video. What happened to your wheel?

[@WindGT7]

Hey Tom my wheel is in a box to send to royal mail to return it as I have bought a DD Pro and will take a few weeks to arrive

[@Sittin.]

Thanks. Cut over 2 sec whith this setup.

[@WindGT7]

@@WindGT7 Yeah... and it's dropping steadily ⬇

[@tactownturbotime982]

I just ordered a gt dd pro can you make videos on your experience setting it up ?

[@WindGT7]

I'll try to when I get it

[@Cherry_Bomber]

🌬️💨

[@kurtschnippel1053]

at 7:14 - can you use the bricks on the lower left corner between the tarmac and barrier as a brake marker (second hard 90* left)

[@WindGT7]

Yes you can actually I didn't even notice that as a braking point so if it suits you then it can help for sure

[@aspectic6227]

Hey just wondering. What's your ffb settings for the T300? I have this issue with the T300 where I would feel a slight vibration if I turn 45° left. Only hapoens in GT7 tho. Gt sport, f1 etc the wheel works normally

[@WindGT7]

Hello 5 5 the vibration with the T300

[@aspectic6227]

@@WindGT7 5 and 5 for every car? Just scared of clipping and damaging the wheel. I use 3 and 1 for now

[@WindGT7]

Yea but I had vibration issues so getting a dd pro now

[@aspectic6227]

@@WindGT7 aight thanks

[@chadshook4460]

Is this set up applicable to other cars? Thanks

[@WindGT7]

No worries, yes to some FR drive train cars but I have some setups on the discord which I provided the link in the description

[@JeffWeselyan]

I would put 47 right rear probably just me

[@WindGT7]

This is just the base setup you can change if you want as it may not suit everyone :)

[@JeffWeselyan]

Well I gotten 40:186 set up is similar to reverse track

[@tactownturbotime982]

You forgot to talk about brake balance for the genesis

[@WindGT7]

Oh yes I'd recommend +5 or +4

[@Kevin_VER]

You can’t drive because you have no wheel 😂 Kid I drive with controller if you’re as good as they say you are you can do it to

[@WindGT7]

Ok I will try the controller for a bit next week, 🤣 I can do it (had a world record on GTS) but problem is I find it too boring especially when you have switched to wheel there is less enjoyment in it. Thanks for the comment 🙂

[@Sofaspeed]

Flip how you're trying to teach, pointing out the negative and leaving it on negative leaves the mind lingering on the negative. Essentially you're teaching all the wrong things. The best teaching strategy for the human mind is teach how to do it the best way, the positive things to do, mention what not to do the negative things, close by reinforcing the good again. I love the idea of someone as good as you doing these vids but yeah flip the script and we all learn to get better instead of what not to do

[@WindGT7]

Hi mate, can you elaborate a bit further as I feel I didn't mention anything negative in this video I was just explaining what I would do differently to the guy watching the lap and giving people tips on how they are losing laptime which in some cases can be a little negative but I don't think I mentioned anything negative let me know if I am wrong and explain where I did mention negative comments but thanks for the advice

[@Sofaspeed]

@@WindGT7 it's just exactly that, pointing out the wrong (aka negative) and mentioning the correct (aka positive). It subconsciously focuses the mind on the wrong, since the first and more prevalent note is that. A better way would be show the right way first and foremost, mention the wrongs after, then reinforce the right. "Turn 1 you want to brake here, turn here, aim for here" (etc etc, all the things to do right in t1). "Don't turn in too early here like I see others doing, and don't..." (1 or 2 don't do things) "remember focus on this brake, and aim for..." (Refocus on the most important few tips to bring the mind back to positive thoughts) It's a teacher thing, best way for mind to grasp new things especially when a bad things needs to be replaced. I didn't mean your attitude or personality was negative, you're cool there.
