When a Racing Game Gives You TOO MUCH Power

The Porsche 918 Spyder is the first production car to ever go below 7 minutes on the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Coming to Gran Turismo 7 as part of Update 1.19, we take this free car to the track in order to see whether we can match its now-classic lap record.

The 918 is such a modern design, it still looks fresh even after almost a decade

[@OPPSIJUSTKILLEDU]

You should do these with tire and fuel on 1x and grip off track to real instead of low. There are currently some bugs with the 918 specifically the hybrid and the gearing.

[@alelecci]

Fuel on 1x simulates the weight of the fuel, but it makes you start on a full tank... nobody hotlaps with a full tank, I don't think it's very realistic

[@don_k20]

@@alelecci Sadly, GT7 doesn't have fuel weight simulation like in iRacing. Although, unlike iRacing, GT7 does simulate the fuel consumption and saving, which was implemented since GT5-6.

[@alelecci]

@@don_k20 I noticed (at least in gt sport, didn't test in gt7) that I was seconds slower at le mans with a ferrari p4 with 100% fuel, and my times improved with an emptier tank. On top of that, top drivers rev like crazy before the start to burn that 2-3% of fuel to gain even a fraction of a tenth So yeah, it is simulated

Can't wait for an update to gt7 to fix the 918. The gears are horrendously long and there's a few bugs with the motor/engine that make it weird to drive

[@rafalhodgson1508]

I feel like the realism is missed in GT7, it just feels like the car is constantly sideways through the corner, tires squealing as well (contant).

[@outlander234]

That was always the case since GT4. I didnt expect much improvement from GT7 since its multiplatform game, I hope they are planing GT8 exclusively for PS5 to take use of that much more powerful processor than that tablet jaguar they had in PS4. If you look requirements for something thats demanding like BeamNG or iRacing for example, recommend specs are 8core 3Ghz.

[@izmirdikili8069]

Yeah right, what do you expect? 900 hp on stock tires! For sure it will slide like crazy. Have you ecer driven ne Nordschleofe IRL?!

[@jennyhoffmann3054]

Of course your tires are constantly going to squeal if you drive over 100kmhs hard through the corners like he did in the video especially because he is only driving with sports tires and with nearly 1000hp its also kinda normal to slide a lot even with AWD going to the limit like that. Did you guys ever like ... maybe drove a car before? or seen a car driving fast? All that stuff is pretty normal, its not like in need for speed or fast & furious movies lol I see nothing really off here?

[@voongnz]

Thats the case with street cars on street tyres. in this case it appears to have sports mediums on, still a street tyre. slap on racing hards at a minimum and you can get away with TC off and not have major problems.

[@rafalhodgson1508]

Love you vids, can you do the same treatment as this video for the mclaren f1? it got a supposed 7:11 with Mika Hakkinen on the wheel (i know, a bit optimistic, but who knows) I'd love to see what it will do stock in gt7, maybe with a bit more modern road tyre than stock

I don't like when the camera is locked to the car from the 3rd person view. Having only one monitor, cockpit view in some cars has limited viewing angle, so sometimes I switch to 3rd person view. AC, ACC and GT7 have this hardlocked camera that disorient me when the car slides. 98% of the time I overcorrect and the car loses traction completely.
