Gran Turismo: This Rare Track Has Finally Returned

[@Prototype-fc4vb]

Hi again, Steve, Prototype here! I was in the Supra standing sideways in Race 2. It's exactly as you said - dipped two wheels in the wet, and I was just a passenger from that point. Such a shame: pace was great, and I could have challenged for the win in that one. A really hectic race, shame you didn't go for a third attempt! I'm still very impressed with how quickly you improve on a new combo. Keep it up!

[@o0_VanYsH_0o]

Yeah, I found the track spotty when I picked up my win. It felt like in turns 3 and 4, and along the racing line on the back of the track, like the slightest deviation from the line slid you off the track like Oil. I found putting Hard tires on 4, taking it easy till Lap 8 worked best. Gave me time to let the track dry, but let's just say my Viper DID NOT like those 4 laps waiting for the track to dry. Definitely did not expect to pull ahead as far into pole position as I did, let alone win.

@@rafaell320 The most misused quote in the history of quotes, maybe ever.

[@tfwnoyandere]

​@@Catcrumbs how so

[@Catcrumbs]

@@tfwnoyandere Senna uttered those words in an attempt to rationalise one of the worst instances of gamesmanship in the history of F1: his crashing out of Prost at Suzuka in 1990 to decide that year's WDC in his favour. If that was how Senna drove every race of his career, he would have been out on his arse before getting anywhere near F3 and neither you nor I would ever have heard his name. Senna was talking to Jackie Stewart, who I'm sure you'll agree does not need to be told what racing is. For what it's worth, I think Prost got what he deserved for Suzuka 1989, but it has nothing to do with good racing.

[@Jippieeeee]

When you hit every Apex in Tokyo it feels so smooth

[@GoatedAtNFS]

this track has grown on me, I originally wanted them to just continue with the old Tokyo R246 track since I prefer that over the new one but this provides great racing on different layouts with the exception of the countless wall penalties

[@purwantiallan5089]

In one online race alone, i count at least 15 wall penalties.

[@YT_timekiller001]

​@@purwantiallan5089Then you are doing something very wrong...

[@o0_VanYsH_0o]

When I won on this track for the Manufacturer's cup, it was tricky. I had tons of practice on the track, but never in the Wet. The trick was to start with heavy wet tires, swap to your hard racing tires and refuel on Lap 4, take it easy for the track to fully dry by lap 8, and then punch it the rest of the race. The Viper actually felt like the best choice for the track, that thing absolutely TOOK OFF in the racing line, and held stupidly well. First and probably my only manufacturer win for a while, but I'll hold that one high, lol.

[@o0_VanYsH_0o]

This track was basically the last track on Gran Turismo Sport for online, so I got a LOT of practice. Managed to pull out the win in my Dodge Viper, and had a great time!!! Picking up the win put me at #1 of my local area, and my whole province!!!

[@SuperGeronimo999]

Viper, nice... love to see "not so popular" cars up in front. So boring if you always see the same cars again and again. Like to change it up myself too.

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@SuperGeronimo999i ever use the Beetle Gr.3 for this race at Tokyo Expressway too.

[@o0_VanYsH_0o]

@@SuperGeronimo999 Yeah, the Viper is criminally underrated. It's the Mancannon of Gr.3, it'll absolutely FLY if you drive it right, but it handles tight turns like a friggin Boat. In the words of Jeremy Clarkson, "An Engine with that amount of power could move a Moon Out of Orbit. You put it in a Car and you're gunna go pretty fast, AND YOU DO".

[@redtool]

Hey, I'm #1 in my local area as well. Just had to finish this race once in last place (10th with 5 DNF's). So sadly, I'm also the last in my local area. but since you're #1 in your whole province, I won't argue. as in my province of Flanders/Belgium I'm 662nd out of just over 800. It's just so weird that on the first 2 spots that can gain you money, so many people are both first and last. People really underestimate the amount of money you can get by just participating and finishing a single race. Plus if you're as clever as me and don't pick a meta brand, like Suzuki or SuperGT's Mitsubishi you might even end up getting a lot of money for the manufacturer classification.

[@Tr1pMind]

this track has one of the hardest hair pins coming off a straight-away. and they decided to make the track wet too. jeez

[@Bevis91]

Always a pleasure to race you, can't believe I manage to undercut you guyz! Love the video, see you on the racetrack again! Much love from Croatia! P.S: Yes, I actually DID meet Barry-R in the race. Dangit.

[@peniu100]

Well, I was the "No mercy" Renault from 1st race and I still don't know why I thought I will make it without forcing Alfa into the wall there. Total misjudgment on my side. I've seen the Alfa driver in the chat blaming you instead for whatever reason, sorry about that.

It's great your giving some attention to Mikal's channel. He doesn't comment the races like others do, but just what this guy can do on track with basically ANY car doesn't need a voice over.

@14:09 look at the map. Last guy did a 360 no scope 😂

[@djolliea]

Nice run. In my race I was wondering about the rush most were in to change tires immediately when the dry line began to appear. Then they had to drive super cautiously and many wrecked their cars. I didn't pit until lap 7 and finished 2nd with 310 points. Was fun!

[@o0_VanYsH_0o]

Ah, was wondering the same thing!!! I had plenty of experience on the track, but not in the wet. I found that you could Pit on lap 4, swap to your hard tires, and if you topped up on fuel you wouldn't need to pit for the rest of the race. Pitting early on 4 meant if anyone else stayed out, it was a guaranteed lead because they'd be forced to go in. Takes about 3 more laps for the track line to fully dry though, so you have gotta take it REALLY easy. My Viper REALLY didn't like waiting on the Racing line to dry after getting my hard tires on, XD. However, it payed off huge, as the Viper has got some serious acceleration, and the second those tires got the chance for some full grip, it took off like a rocket. Didn't expect to hold pole position for as long as I did, let alone pick up a W.

[@MichaelElPaso]

I had an unstoppable 4 stop strategy for this one - finishing a whole lap down 🤩

[@enjoylife6374]

this track is so beautiful

[@FonikosGazmas]

Im happy to see cars that didnt usually get used for the manufacturers championship like the GT500s or some odd ones like the Lancer, the Citroen GT etc. Balancing is good. Also a welcome back unique and weird combos of racetracks. Hope they keep them cause thats exactly what GT should be.

[@o0_VanYsH_0o]

Ah, I felt the Viper was BEAUTIFUL on this track!!! I got a win in it when I raced here, absolutely mental. The plan was to pit lap 4, top up fuel so I wouldn't need to pit the rest of the race, and swap to hard tires so that the moment the racing line dried I could be ready far before anyone else pitted to swap tires. My gamble payed off, but BOY my Viper did NOT LIKE those 3 laps waiting for the line to dry. Once it did, it took off like a rocket. Hoping it gets used more, it's a blast to drive and a ton of fun, but ya gotta be careful not to overdo it coming out of a turn. The lightest bit of over-acceleration and it's gunna slither right off the track.

[@purwantiallan5089]

The Tokyo Expressway in GT7 is like combinations of Tokyo R246 + Road Atlanta + Jeddah.

I really don't understand why Polyphony sticks to only 3 "daily" weekly races. As Steve said yesterday: The game has so much potential that is not used. It's currently the main reason I don't play the game. If they had a similar system to ACC with SimGrid, I would jump right back!

Wow, I love looking at that race. That's the first time I see a Gran Turismo 7 race that looks like Gran Turismo. No disrespect, but modern lack the class of old ones. However here, nostalgia strike big time. This reminds me of Special Stage route 5/11, with JGTC cars. There is something about JGTC that can not be explain with words: Honda NSX, Toyota Supra, Nissan GTR, Mazda RX7, etc. Each car is so unique and different from the others, it's delicious.

[@falan9103]

participating in the championship for the first time, I got p5 in the first race, I tried again and ended up in p2, I thought it was fun and I went racing again, I ended up in p5 again, I didn't know how the points system works, I thought they added up the points from several races, I finished losing a good score for not knowing the rules... well, living and learning

[@320iSTWEdition]

Did no pit stop on this race and got second place. You could've gotten more out of that without pitting.The time you could potentially make up was less than the time you lost on the pitstop anyways..... so you might have gotten even to 3rd.

This race had one question, pit or no pit, both strategies were correct, in my race top 4 drivers never pitted from inters to hard tyres, I did the same so my race was from 13th to last on purpose to avoid chaos to 6th, only one driver passed me with hard tyres meanwhile I was with inters all 12 laps, this was in GT1, Mazda RX with heavy damage and it was a very clean race with zero heavy damage to me

[@Suprchrg2SS.LS3]

A Rare Race, A Rare Track... Challenging semi wet conditions at Its Best.. Each Race car with its own Handling Characteristics some good some bad, that Mid Engine NSX was untouchable a balance car because of the location of engine with decent HP/speed and a driver who knows the handling characteristics, also knowing and seeing the road conditions of the track. Push drafting when done correctly is another smart solution in moving forward. The Evo is good in road courses with 4WD but in Tokyo Expressway it lacks in HP/Speed. You Did Your Best Steve! Regarding your previous Sim vlog GT7 are making Good changes to the Game Updates Mega 1.49 is one of them, adding back the Eiger Norwand Yes remembering the GT5/GT6 years. I love that Valley road course. Yup too bad they did not add all the variations. Anyways on the technical side Its good to start making each Mfr/race/road car its own characteristic physics from handling, performance, etc etc. Imagine some cars having the same characteristics, It's not Fun, it's not True Reality(Realism). example using the brakes properly it is true when using too much brake the car will not turn(apex, hard hairpin)brake early roll into the apex that's realism racing some cars will have advantages/dis-advantages in this area. It depends on the Individual driver's muscle memory learning physics of the car driven. This physics update will make it More Challenging/Enjoying for All of US! Well ? Some of US ... Hey Steve, I've retired from my job(work reality)since June, been driving/vlog PC race sims for a while now also restoring/add on upgrades to my 2010 Camaro 2SS LS3(Fun reality).

Has anyone else has this problem with Gran turismo 7, So if you have corner cutting penalties enabled and on some tracks when you have the AUTODRIVE coming out of the Pits the Autodrive will drive over the line and give you a 3 second penalty for cutting the line or some pits it stops ur auto drives but gives you 0.1 millisecond to correct else you've also gone over the line
