[@fernfernacelli]

Content creators like you, who take the time to bring out the most of what we have, bring me great, great joy. Glad to be a subscriber for some time; absolutely excellent video. Thank you kindly… Cheers! Long live Gran Turismo. \m/,😊,\m/

[@MLDOGG]

Thank you Fern. Means a lot buddy 👍

[@balazstoth6864]

If custom races like this with Sophy could be shared in the next game, it would live twice as long as GT7 will.

[@MLDOGG]

Absolutely. Imagine that. Being able to share your races for other to use. I would love that!

[@Peter-cx6bt]

I didn't know that we can race against the other cars we own. Thanks a lot. Many of my liveries on the same track? Great!! That video was useful.

[@MLDOGG]

No problem Peter 👍

[@Wolfe-Racing]

Great video. It's so cool that you use "the Real Driving Simulator" as an actual driving simulator. Well done.

[@MLDOGG]

Haha yeah, i figured, if thats the slogan, then thats what i will use it for. Cheers man.

[@3Xmedic]

Oh man i love the RS500! It was in one of my greatest sounding engine videos. Group A had some of the greatest battles! I'm getting PS1 TOCA flashbacks. Great to see ya again ❤

[@MLDOGG]

Yeah thats it mate! I wish it was easier to play these old games again. Did you ever play Project Cars? I think i might have to reboot that one. Good to see you too mate 👍

[@3Xmedic]

​@@MLDOGGno I missed project cars. Lol I left my comment before watching the full video and mentioned TOCA before you mentioned it. I did however play burnout. Such an amazing series. Burnout 4 will always have a special place in my heart.

[@MLDOGG]

@3Xmedic lol thats all good mate. This has given me a real bug to go back and play some of this stuff. I missed burnout. Was it burnout 3 the good one or?

[@3Xmedic]

​@@MLDOGGdepends on who you ask. Most everyone said 3 was the best but I thought 4 aka revenge was the best to me.

[@MLDOGG]

@3Xmedic sorry mate,YT is crap a notifying me about replys. Or maybe its me and the time difference lol....i think i need to have a little sit down and catch up on some of these games.

[@sidneyrecco]

What a great idea! I've thought about putting together several different grids. This gives a good reason to tune different cars. Congrats on this video!

[@MLDOGG]

Thanks Sidney. You should do it. Done well, it can be a lot of fun. Thanks man.

[@oze-bikes4life663]

I totally agree with GT7 being Transformed by creating Custom Races & Historic Liverys. 👍 I love using the 1965 Mini Copper S. (Lightly modified) then creating a custom 20lap Race on various CIrcuits (around 350pp race) using Comfort Softs (25x Tyre Wear & 12x Fuel Usage) Its great fun. 👌 I have personally created to date 4 iconic Bathurst fairly accurate Liverys to recreate some classic bathurst races. 1) 1975 Bathurst Winning Holden Torana L34 (Brock / Sampson Livery) (from BMW M3 Sport Evolution 89) 2) 2002 24Hr Bathurst Debut Winning 427C Holden Monaro livery tribute (Tander/ Richards / Pretty & Mc Conniville Livery) (from a Camaro SS 16) 3) Its Not Bathurst related but still an Iconic Australian Winning livery : - 2016 Targa Tasmania Winning Datsun 240Z livery (1st in Classic GT Class) (from Greddy Fugaz 240Z) 4) 1965 Mini Cooper S "Bathurst" Tribute Livery (its not a realistic accurate Bathurst livery) but just a fun "Bathurst Tribute Livery: to this Legendary 1965 Classic Mini. If interested 3 are listed under Bathurst & 4th under Targa Tasmania in search button. It's so good to see many other players Historic Liverys being loving created & fairly historically accurate tributes, then shared within GT7 Livery Community. Its an awesome addition to the game. Its a refreshing change to GT7 gameplay & creating custom races. Note - do you prefer the Boost function set to Weak or Off when creating Custom Races ? I personally set it to Off but have the A.I opponents PP level slightly higher than my own. It seems Boost set to WEAK the opponents just catch you way to fast (unrealistic). What's your thoughts/ setup regarding boost function. ? Great content as usual Madd Dog Lou. 👍👌🍻😊

[@MLDOGG]

Hey oze, im totally going to check out those liveries! What car did you use for the holden replica? Im really interested in doing a v8 supercars races or something! Yeah, im with you on the boost thing. If you've ever seen the lap times the Ai do when set to weak, it crazy. For realism, i set it to off, but when im doing lengthier races i might set it to weak just to keep me entertained lol. Thanks a lot 👍

[@oze-bikes4life663]

Once you choose your preffered car just type in "BATHURST" into GT7 livery search engine (in game) & so many great liveries pop up.

[@supercededman]

Big Kev's Channel Nine-sponsored Camaro 😊 I was at Batburst in 1981 when it poured rain in quali, and he manhandled that beast to pole. Magnificent.

[@ajrichar0]

I have also tried to recreate Group A racing eith authentic liveries. You're absolutely right that they need to be keep absolutely standard bodywork because any changes had to be homologated. That means no extra aero and no widebody modification (which your Unisia Jecs R32 had). I've struggled with getting driveable settings for the Sierra. Its truly a difficult car to drive when modified. I'm going to try your set up to see if it's better than what I'm running at present. You could also technically add the Mercedes 190E and AE86 Corolla, as they also ran in Group A. Further, the Nismo R32 is the more authentic version to use over the V-Spec II, but it's also 400k credits per car...

[@MLDOGG]

Oh damn, yeah the Sierra is a handful. Cool, yeah i would love to hear you're feedback. The trouble i had was waiting for them to appear in the used car dealership.

[@jasonwishart6800]

I have R31 skyline and 190 Cosworth also in my collection of simulated group A. Would love some Commodore V8s, BMW 635, Alfa GTV6, Rover V8, Volvo turbo and XJ12.

[@MLDOGG]

Thats cool! Ah the Rover v8 would be such a curve ball. I would love that.

[@AlTheAndroidGuy]

liked and subbed pal, great production

[@MLDOGG]

Thanks a lot man 👍 appreciate it.

[@Rollingzoku89]

This is really cool. I do stuff like this in Assetto Corsa. Combine mods together to make my own historical racing grids.

[@MLDOGG]

That sounds cooler. Bet that looks awesome. 👍

[@Haydenbro_82]

Awesome video i do a similar thing with bathurst ive got a full grid of v8 supercars im also working on a endurance race around road atlanta with a pit stop and multiple categorys of cars gr4 gr3 and gr1

[@MLDOGG]

Thanks Hayden 👍 what car did you use to replicate the V8 Supercars? Thats so cool mate. Love me a bit of multiclass racing!

[@darrinpennington]

Thats a fun track

[@Haydenbro_82]

Mazda atenza and the Genesis

[@MLDOGG]

Nice, thanks man.

[@darrinpennington]

I remember when NASCAR ran production model cars.

[@MLDOGG]

Thats cool. The cars are like nothing you see on the road now. Amazing how far its come.

[@Niki_R188]

Where's my Mercedes 190 evo?that's a good bunch of cars!

[@MLDOGG]

Legends dealership just wasn't playing ball. Plus the thought of buying 4 at 290,000. Ouch lol

[@Pooz30]

The only bummer with the custom grids is that it decreases the credit payout. :-( I do wish you could use Sophy for custom races as well!

[@MLDOGG]

Yeah, they are purley just for fun i think. I dont think theres any good credit grinding opportunities unfortunately.

[@whatdoiknowsmith]

Do Bathurst 1000 with same cars but Aussie liveries. We had JPS 3 series beamers, black n gold. Was 635 CSL at one stage. Plus the Godzilla's livery from '92 . And heaps of great Sierra liveries, The Supra was there too. Jaguar was also in it, Walkinshaw? Maybe even Rovers.

[@MLDOGG]

I love it. I will look into doing this for a future video. 👍

[@pixelcultmedia4252]

I wish they would just let the AI use the entire throttle range. It always bogs down the AI's throttle ruining their potential. I can pass a custom grid in 3 laps with similarly powered cars. I usually have to handicap my car on worse tires just to get more out of the races.

[@MLDOGG]

I know what you mean. It shouldnt be that way really, should it.

[@hmshood1]

Can this be created on ps5 ?

[@MLDOGG]

Yeah sure. Dont see why not.

[@supercededman]

Great stiff Lou. I constructed a grid of F1 cars as per your suggestion, and it was great fun. I'll do this one too, but add my own variation by limiting the cars to a PP (600 or 650) to make the racing more even. Of course, certain cars dominated in various eras ... As a note, Jim Richards raced an R32 GTR in Australia, dominating the competition in our Gr A series. The Fred Gibson team he was part of wanted to race it in Japan, but they wanted no part of this car. It was widely recognised as the fastest of all the GTRs, and was the origin of the "Godzilla" name. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWPUfIiXi9uqrsUsi=ae7TGBQ17Cg5wudP Similarly, Dick Johnson's Sierra kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGG3lKOqdtGoaqcsi=8azeNohN4f8mKJVw was also regarded as the quickest in the world, but was in fact dominated in turn by Richards' GTR. Fun times.

[@MLDOGG]

Thats awesome 👍 glad you had some fun with it!..yeah switch it up to suit you. My grid is nowhere near perfect. Amazing insight. Thanks for the links. Sounds like you know your stuff 👍

[@AnthroGearhead]

Won't be a touring car race without whacky crashes 🤭

[@MLDOGG]

So true. I will let you into a little secret. I didnt tune some of the cars to the best of my ability because i knew it would make for a more entertaining race lol

[@HarryvKoerten]

Hello sir, Do you have a list of cars you use in this races?

[@MLDOGG]

Hello there 👋 ive included Ford Sierra RS500 Supra 3.0 M3 89 R32 v-spec2 But you could also include Merc 190e and AE86 Corolla Have fun 👍

[@HarryvKoerten]

Thank you sir, it means a lot for me. Following you now!👍💪

[@MLDOGG]

Your welcome man. Thank you! See you around 👍

[@Haydenbro_82]

Easy way to make it harder is put the ai on racing soft and you on racing hard

[@MLDOGG]

Yeah that would work :) 👍

[@RavingEngineer]

GT doesn't let you do that

[@MLDOGG]

@RavingEngineer Oh lol

[@larrymclaren1537]

I also love custom races. One of the reasons is the AI is much smarter, faster and more competitive. But! Did the AI get slower, dumber with update 1.55? I easily won races today that should have been much more difficult

[@MLDOGG]

It looks like they changed the difficulty for 3 WTC events but which way, we dont know. So it's possible Larry

[@askmyAK]

People always complaining about a lack of content, a lack of content compared to what exactly….? Forza with it’s even smaller single player and recycled car models? ACC with only paid DLC and online racing? TDU? Should we have a battle pass in GT7 like the Crew? Or are we comparing it to the PS2 games like GT4 that was far easier to develop where the cars and tracks looked like a child drew them? Where exactly is the lack of content? If you show us your GT profile are we going to see 100% completions on the single player content? All races all circuit experiences all license tests gold all challenges completed? What else are we supposed to have? We have VR, livery editing, photo mode, music rally, music replay, multi month long championships. Custom races, custom lobbies, a literal museum….

[@MLDOGG]

I guess, im refering to the fact that people are getting fed up with updates containing 5 more cars, 3 of which are probably concept.

[@askmyAK]

I’m not trying to knock you directly, I am aware of the malcontents and the silly things they say. I just don’t see what people could be using as a reference. GT is doing content better than any other current racing title as far as I’m aware.

[@MLDOGG]

Thats all good 👍. I think i know what your saying. Its kind of a cheap shot, just to say theres a lack of content. So, im going to rephrase lol i love this game, and i just want more of it.

[@F1_Cona]

Bwoah

[@MLDOGG]

Ayy. Steerwing wheel.

[@emilholmgrenmusic]

Too bad you can't really make the Volvo 240 Group A car!

[@MLDOGG]

If i just use the 240 estate and only show you images from head on, would that work lol

[@minners71]

You need to be in psvr2 i will never play on a flat screen again.

[@MLDOGG]

Ah, i know right. I hear so much good stuff.

[@Twinnny_Twinnn]

How do you make these races?

[@MLDOGG]

You have to buy each individual car. So that you can put a specific livery on each one and tune them. Custom race setup up to your liking and away you go. P.s. its not cheap lol from memory i think it cost me around 5-6 million

[@pixelcultmedia4252]

Once you make a custom grid, you can load it into any race track. So it takes some time to create them but once you build it, it's easy and seamless to use them anywhere.

[@MLDOGG]

@pixelcultmedia4252 exactly! Thats why its worth finding a race category you're interested in. Then you have it for life. Nice.

[@oze-bikes4life663]

As a bonus, if you make opponents cars have a higher P.P Rating then your own car then there can be a decent amount of prize money in custom created race.

[@MLDOGG]

This is true 👍

[@JojjeN300]

GT7 should have been the best GT game ever but failed completley. The fundamentals in this game is so broken its embarrassing. I fear that GT8 will end up like GT7 and be dead within days.

[@MLDOGG]

But we're getting the Ioniq 5N soon. Theres hope for gt7 lol

[@kornijboer]

More grid ideas : Vw fun club Wec / imsa older / ancient nascar The older gt300 's

[@MLDOGG]

Vw fun clubs sounds like it would be good 👍

[@gtdiecast485]

I'll say it bro... I told you brands would bang and as if you went the group A route 😮‍💨🤌🏻. So buzzing for this you are inspiring my to keep playing 🤦🏼‍♂️🙃🤣

[@MLDOGG]

I know buddy. I listen and read everything dude. This collection of cars works so well around Brands. And you're inspiring me to keep making videos 👍
