Hey guys, Mikail here! Hope you all enjoyed the fun battle the four of us (including Lewis hehe) had! Thanks Steve for sharing this and commentating it! 👊🍪
Great race 👍got yourself a sub, hope others follow and I'll check out your channel.. I have resigned myself to VR only now as I enjoy it more, back up to a high A so would love to think I'd see you in a lobby sometime but I think it's very difficult to compete at that level in VR. Every car and view is different.. As Steve said your technique is exceptionally smooth, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for the video Steve! Can’t deny the slight car advantage here that allowed me to give these legends a race, but even so it was amazing to be part of, let alone win. Lots of respect to Mik and Vale!
The fact that real pro drivers are using Steve's clan tag shows what impact he has on the community and a positive one as well. I am so proud I was able to follow this journey from 50k subs. What a story this is!
I'm a certified pleb for that final pit entry 😅 Nevertheless i appreciated every single bit of the race, props to Mik and Konsta for making it a special one ^^ Big thanks for the coverage on it partner! 👊 (SIGN HERE THE PETITION TO ADD THE OPEL ASTRA V8 COUPE IN GT7 📝)
Awesome job as ever! You guys are all so damn good at this (except for that pit entry haha!!) Totally, that livery looked great. The Opel Astra would be a great addition.
Valerio you're an amazing driver my bro, I always watch your replays to learn where I need to improve. It's something of a comfort to know that everyone can make mistakes, even the elites
@@valeriogallo26 fantastic racing and fantastic to watch,shame about the pit line!! Astra V8 would be great and good luck in GTWS , I will be cheering you on big time 👍👍👍
@@Pontik1 Absolute fair point. Mikail really put the pressure to the max on these corners. All the more impressive that Konsta regained P1 again when he wasn't on the inside line in 5:42 anymore.
Just wanted to shout out the way you wove the narrative of the race through out the video. The different perspectives of the drivers combined with the clear commentary to explain what was happening on screen really heightened the intensity and excitement of the race. Great race, great commentary, great editing, great video!
Its crazy the connections you have developed in the racing world. You have inspired many including myself to pursue this path and we cant ever thank you enough!
It's so impressive watching these top-level drivers. The way they keep their composure for long periods of time is mesmerising, just hitting lap after clean lap.
This so cool. I truly enjoy watching GT world championship drivers race. They are impressive to watch. Mikail has always been one of my favourites. I love the old battles Fraga and Mikail used to have so intense. Still got the pace and skills. ❤
Very cool video. I raced C.Lopez twice in my GT career. I shared a replay when it was Gr1 Interlagos. The guy won the race from pretty much last. And overtook me like a boss.
This is why Sim Racing / Racing in general is so exciting to watch. I almost jumped out of my chair in the last part of the race. Respect to all drivers in this race! And thanks for commentating and sharing this clip Steve.
Mate, as a karting content creator I can imagine the amount of hours you’ve put into making the video. From watching all the replays, to making the cuts and coordinating them, to recording the voice, the thumbnail, etc… Excellent work and great battle between these top of the world guys, I enjoyed it a lot!
This is the kind of respectful racing I want to see in C and B lobbies. I know it’s a pipe dream and it’ll never happen, but it was fun to see the style of racing I want to be involved in. All racers here were all about the race itself and not ramming each other to gain a position that means nothing. This is racing. This is Gran Turismo. This is PlayStation.
GREAT to see the people who are among the best at what they do, work their magic on track. That's what makes those GT World Championship streams so fantastic and NOT to be missed. Well, that, and the amazing commentary from Jimmy and Tom with the occasional SuperGT cameo!
Thank you Steve for showcasing some of the better drivers in GT7. Proud to say I watched this when it came out on Mikail's channel, absolutely stunning race!
I've been wondering why I can't make better lap times or keep pace with other drivers in my lobbies. This video just shows the kind of consistency and accuracy you need just to keep up. Absolute perfection!!! Well in to Mikal and Konsta.
That was an incredible race! The fact that the top 3 pitted and 4th place caught up because he hadn't gone to the pit lane yet is insane. The respect they give each other while fighting through corners, too. I wish I had the patience to become even half as good as these guys.
This is nuts, you guys should be proud not only for your skill but also and especially for keeping your cool and staying fair through such a long and straining battle, this was so much fun to watch
These guys operate like clockwork. It’s therapeutic to watch them race. and super gts commentary was spot on in this one. Great video. Excited for new update content.
It was nice to see a race where the announcer didn't scream once with fake excitement forcing me to turn off volume and miss all the great engine sound. GREAT JOB TO ALL!
I follow Gran Turismo championships for years. It really adds a lot of fun when you know the drivers already. PS: Hizal engineering an overtake while being an engineer in real life was not fluke in your speech Steve
That was fantastic! I have only ever had 1 race like that where it was hard racing, but clean between myself and another player. It was Miatas at Tsukuba. We swapped 1-2 so many times! In the end I unfortunately lost in a similar fashion as this race, but it was SUPER close! That race kept me interested...and then the rules changes and the tanking of ratings forcing lower lobby racing where it was near impossible to regain your ratings...I finally had enough and stopped playing.
Now THAT was a race!!!! That finish! If only I’d have these type of respectful drivers in my lobbies. I don’t understand what motivates everyone to drive so dirty now.
Ahh so Hizal is part of TRL crew! I remember them in GT6 dominating back then too. That was a very very clean and professional race, as expected. Loved seeing the lines they took. Must try now lol
Fantastic coverage of a great race! You should know the timing boxes are not in front of the car (of this I'm certain irl and in GT7) but I believe at the wheel (irl this varies from organizations but if I remember correctly from my testing it is located there in GT7). Cheers
Wow amazing race by them !! I’ve only had 2 race on game that was like this one with my brother one with my buddy I love it when we all can race together and respect each other not trying to ram one another off road or flying into corners at mach10 speed etc this type of racing makes it so intense when trying to get overtake. Well done guys!
Really enjoyed this video, the racing dynamics were impressive and it's cool to see two champions go head-to-head. That said, I can't help but feel that the hype around Gran Turismo sometimes overshadows other racing sims that might offer a more realistic experience. Just a thought!
Great video Steve! this is the GT7 equivalent of joining top split in Iracing, and Real life drivers and pro esport guys connect to your lobby you know it will be intense haha
now that's how it should be played absolutely fantastic racing in the highest order, thanks for sharing this,the consistency is unbelievable and the smallest tiny little mistake (that I had to rewind to even see it) and you get pounced on without touching! totally ruthless! could write on and on but I won't!! hehe again Steve fantastic in every way, VERY BIG LIKE DEPLOYED 👍👍👍
That is why I enjoy GT7. I mean, Icould only dream of having the kind of ability those 3 drivers displayed here. Epic! I ride off road dirt bikes too, and while I am by no means a fast rider, the best bit for me is the close racing with my mates or peers.
M. Hizal and V. Gallo are one of two of the most infuriating names in GT7, not as a person but as an AI racer. In competitive manner of course. Even their Ai racer is difficult in to beat in hardest mode let a lone the real person. This is the most clean and sportmanship like gt7 race I've seen. Thats how racing should be
absolutely loved this race. I never knew GT racing between the pros were so close from beginning to end. I was impressed with their car control on every single lap. One thing I didn’t understand was how did the driver of the yellow car kept control of the car with the tires pretty worn out?
It looks like an iRacing race in the state of spirit mind. Way more sportshipman than usually on GT. Glad to see that top players can give the good example

Thanks for the video Steve! Can’t deny the slight car advantage here that allowed me to give these legends a race, but even so it was amazing to be part of, let alone win. Lots of respect to Mik and Vale!
Ultimately, you still had to drive the car consistently and at a very high level for 30 laps GG on the win, very impressive and great to watch.
you drove amazingly especially under the massive pressure of the 2 behind.
Thank you for repping the Vette mate, makes me happy to see it, especially taking the race win, great work.
well done fantastic racing 👍👍👍
Absolute masterclass in driving Konsta! Bravo

Great video this. Honestly Polyphony should get you to do analysis videos like this for the world tour events. Top work Super GT!
Was thinking the same thing as Steve has been out of action for a while now with them on it. It's about time indeed 🔥
Legitimately one of the most engaging sim race videos I've seen. We need to get you a broadcast commentary contract.
13:50 everyone else having a proper race whilst this guy is just chilling with his best mate Barry R
I was with him having a coffee in the middle of an F1 race earlier ... Had a good time
just wanted to say those cars are incredibly balanced that such a battle is even possible. Great job from the drivers, great job from the devs.
I'm actully speechless, I didn't know it was possible to have a race like this.
Watch the GT World Series races when they do it live on stage - always crazy close races, next one is on August 10th in Prague.
Go watch hq Holden by Michael Howllet they are even closer battles like 4 cars side to side banging wheels trying to get 1st place
Man gran turismo 7 is the best racing game so realistic
The gap between the three of them to the rest of the pack by lap 14 is insane
Yea bad gallow lost 5 places
@@Miles1302 Yeah such close racing, really wished he could had finished on the podium

If I tried to race like this, id 100% ram someone off. Not intentionally, but because I'm terrible 😂
Really impressive control/racing.
Yup, following closely is so hard. So hard to judge when to brake, often you can’t see through the corner.
Really shows the difference between the top 1% and the top 0.1%
Its crazy the connections you have developed in the racing world. You have inspired many including myself to pursue this path and we cant ever thank you enough!
Love the racing and big fan of the drivers not just their driving but general demeanour as absolute gentlemen with everyone in the community 💪🍻
100%. They all want to win but not at the cost of sportsmanship and a proper race. DR+ SR+

Sim driving in the 3rd perspective. I see the irony here.
@@porterde08 they are racing in first person. This just the replay

100% the best racing ive seen from a video game in my life.

Excellent work and great battle between these top of the world guys, I enjoyed it a lot!
Thank you mate, i'd say at least 15 hours I put into this video. Definitely took it's time with all the different angles!
I watched this the other day on Mikail's channel and what a race it was! Great commentary Steve!
Lewis Burton deserves some credit too. He’s a controller player that has been playing for less than a year. Super quick and good dude!
Old timer and just started the free My First GT7 that was released. Burton was using the PS controller? If so I do have hope. 😂
@ Yes he was using controller. I used controller and 100% the game so yeah you do have a chance lol, enjoy!

Konsta can hold back two of the best players without slipstream is pretty insane
Watching his race is like a master class in defensive driving. He was incredible!
Incredible driving by all 3. The space they have each other to battle it out was top notch.
Feels sooo good to see the corvette being used in GT7, and at the highest tier of players at that. Wunderbar
That was an incredible race! The fact that the top 3 pitted and 4th place caught up because he hadn't gone to the pit lane yet is insane. The respect they give each other while fighting through corners, too. I wish I had the patience to become even half as good as these guys.
That has to be the most enjoyable gt7 race I've seen on here. Great driving guys, and thx Steve
Have seen you race Konsta....he sure did drive a flawless race here...
Mega video Super GT 👏
This is nuts, you guys should be proud not only for your skill but also and especially for keeping your cool and staying fair through such a long and straining battle, this was so much fun to watch
10/10 for presentation, Steve!! Well done Sir. Epic race... congrats to all involved but especially Kosta! Well earned Win
These guys operate like clockwork. It’s therapeutic to watch them race. and super gts commentary was spot on in this one. Great video. Excited for new update content.

Agreed. He drove a mega race. Not easy to stay out front against world champs.

Wow, wow, wow. This ending. Just chef's kiss. How he turned in the outer lane to drag race konsta was super thrilling.
Now THAT was a race!!!! That finish!
If only I’d have these type of respectful drivers in my lobbies. I don’t understand what motivates everyone to drive so dirty now.
You got to love GT class racing much more than the redbull X2019 they use in the world tour events. The racing looks much more professional.
Worn softs vs new hards. This is poetic.
That's what love about racing. The most important respect, and understanding racing/ Battleing. Hats off to those three drivers.
Ahh so Hizal is part of TRL crew! I remember them in GT6 dominating back then too. That was a very very clean and professional race, as expected. Loved seeing the lines they took. Must try now lol

Alonso vs Perez, I mean konsta vs Mikal 🔥🔥
Great video - as a B S driver imagine my horror in a Daily Race A lobby to have these three all lined up behind me…. I didn’t win…..
He learned the important lesson that a picnic at the beach on a windy day is a bad idea.
Fantastic coverage of a great race! You should know the timing boxes are not in front of the car (of this I'm certain irl and in GT7) but I believe at the wheel (irl this varies from organizations but if I remember correctly from my testing it is located there in GT7). Cheers

Amazing when the 3 cars were together, with really clean driving and you could tell that any small sign of a mistake would mean losing a place.
I thought Gallo's reaction to the first penalty was quite impassive, until I realised I was looking at a still photo.
