I am 63 and did road racing here in the southwest for over 10 years, I also instructed for a number of years, your tips are super well thought out, and 100% applicable to the real thing! Well done!
I’m 89 years old, and did road AND circuit racing for over 25 years. I too have been an instructor for many years. I believe your tips are actually 101% useful and applicable to the real thing.
It's so amazing to me how people get bent out of shape when you say you use traction control, as if it's somehow a bad thing. The truth of the matter is, real world GT3 cars use traction control in real world races.
@@gussinger6939bingo. Idiots like this guy don’t realize how much more money manufacturers spend on developing traction control technology compared to video game developers. Not to mention there’s no one-size-fits all approach to traction control considering one car can handle wildly different from another. TC in GT just sacrifices top speeds on corners for slightly more grip. It makes sense on cars that feel undriveable, but otherwise they’re just training wheels.
Awesome and helpful tips here! I’m brand new to GT starting with GT 7 so I’m just learning everything. This is really helpful to know these things when it comes to turning and braking as there is quite a lot that goes into the true art and technique of driving. Thanks again!
@@unleasheddrivers1281 Dude I'm new to gt7 and was wondering when you do a refuel race and wondered how to stop refuelling at the dot instead of filling fully
I could never memorize the perfect line for each track, but over time it's become 2nd nature to me, but I'll never be an elite player, but I do love it, best racing game of all time.
@@sanandreasthegoldenknight5207 No broken economy.. Whales are gonna whale. For everyone else, do the "Track Experience" modes on each circuit and start raking up the millions.. you need to GIT GUD at driving though. Sorry not sorry.
Throttle modulation is probably the biggest physics improvement they've made to this game! It was the first thing I noticed and it honestly feels more natural to not be able to just mat the throttle at the apex of a corner. I've driven enough real cars to know how they feel when exiting a corner that I don't use the throttle like an on/off switch.
@@phattjohnson I’ve come from FM7 and you can’t mash the throttle on FM either, have actually played FM, really? Or got TCS on the max or something? I find FM way more slidy and difficult to control vs GT7 which I’m loving, wish I got onto it sooner
@@hebisty4163depends on the car and the gear you're in. On a wet track, everything will slide. But with proper lsd & suspension tuning, & using the correct or a higher gear at corner exits will help you massively to get to full throttle quickly without spinning out.
Adding up to your tips I found it helpful to learn the tracks part by part with the Track experience mode. Helps to find out where to flatout after apexes again etc.
New most of this, but still great video. Grand turismo had this in the first games and need to bring these lessons back for refresh or people that don't know this information.
Thank you so much! I’ve never owned a PlayStation mainly just a Nintendo guy and managed to find a PS5 and this is my first game on it! Loving it and loving these tips!
Amazing tips that are real world applicable and very thorough explanation please please make more…. As somebody who has been into racing my whole life, I thoroughly enjoy seeing people make content like this as it’s not my skill set to make content, but I love seeing people share knowledge, and this is good knowledge.
"You gotta have strong throttle control" bruh i've been controlling my throttle with dual shock button "X" since GT4. XD the level of detail in GT7 is insane. I had the first lesson on how GT7 is a different animal than the other GTs when I got a 370Z around the high speed ring and tried to hammer the throttle on the S turns. Yes spin my world xD I love this game. Perfect tips. On point bro.
First time playing since GT 2 as a kid and I used X and square and dpad for steering lol. Just tried the dual stick last night and it was much better. How do you really get throttle control while using X?
@@foodfordagods541 If I remember correctly there is some sensitivity in the PS2 dualshock control. Yes, the X button. Try pressing with less force. I remember doing this in GT4. GT2 I played on emulator lol
Thanx for sharing these super helpful tips! I am “returning” to GT since GT3, and this game is amazing! I am going to focus on this tips just right now. Thanx! 👏🏻
Something that it is worth to mention on GT7 is the new pedal calibration settings. They do affect your driving drastically. The other week I was doing good in the dailies using an alternate account, having fewer incidents and better results and so. Then, when I tried another account, it looked like everyone wanted to punt or ram me off the track. Some drivers even told me I was "break checking them"... Then I realized that on this account the pedal calibration settings were on default for my G29 wheel (min 5% and max 60% for braking for instance, when I actually I had 0,5 % and 100% respectivelly on the other account). Once I changed the settings to my liking things were normal again. Actually, punters and rammers were still there but now I could defend better too.
Here's another tip I've found, experiment with the tire compounds. Using Racing: Softs all the time everywhere will hinder your performance if it starts to rain for example. You're gonna be used to that high grip, but once the rain comes, you're not gonna be able to control it for the life of you. And if the race has Tire Wear and Fuel Consumption on, you're gonna be gonna be pitting a lot to replace them. Racing: Hard doesn't mean they're made of bricks and have *no* grip, just slightly reduced grip but greater durability. Was doing the 450,000 race on Sarthe in a Carrera, had it on Intermediates for the rain the hits ya at lap 3 or so, all was well... until the game decided to go past drizzle and straight into torrential. Trying to hit 170KPH, no go. The back tires would lose all grip due to the severe hydroplaning. But the Intermediates could handle the wet roads, whilst all the other cars were on Racing: Hard, Medium, and Soft. They had to slow WAAYYY down to where I nearly got a 1 minute lead on them. So cruising under 170KPH, I got myself into the pits, swapped out for the Wets and it was smooth sailing from there. Rain passed and I never had to swap out because of the puddles all over the track.
Funny thing about the 24 hour Le Mans race... if you get out into P1 by the first lap and watch the weather radar closely, switching to intermediates before it starts pouring, the AI never does and blows past you in the pit eventually piling up later down the track as you pass them all. I've lapped the entire group with this tactic and end up finishing the race on lap 6 almost every time. Around 850k with the clean race bonus. Also the weather radar is severely underrated, I watch that thing like a hawk and never get surprised with bad weather anymore.
@@hussle2654850k cr where is this race at? Or when does it unlock I'm only at level 35 or so working my way up on the career mode. Trying to get better before jumping on online stuff.

Awesome tips! I've been playing for about a week and need to tighten up my times! The "Circuit Experience" mode seems to be the best way to earn credits! All gold on a circuit can net you up to 1 million! Then I can buy some luxury supercars :D

Yep, you can still be braking but you don't want the nose of the car to be hunkered down and pushing all the weight onto the fronts.. as soon as you ease off a bit your car turns 200% as effectively :P For some cars I'm messing with the brake balance and pushing it more towards the rear to help me reduce understeer if I'm a bit heavy on the brakes.. but that's probably just encouraging bad habits!
Hey man this is great content. Would you be able to do a short video specifically on how to effectively navigate hairpins? As a beginner I feel like I’m able to apply most of these concepts but get thrown off wildly when it comes to hairpins.
Thanks mate! I plan to do more guides about the GT7 license tests including some with hairpins. In those videos I can try explain more about it. But to try give a bit of advice, particularly on gran turismo 7, be very patient and gentle with how you apply the throttle coming out of hairpins. At low speeds it is really easy to lose traction and slide around. Make sure your car is in a straight line or close to it before you get harder on the throttle. For entering hairpins, dont turn towards the inside of the turn too early. Brake and stay on the outside of the track until you have slowed down a lot and then only deeper in the braking zone, then begin to turn around the corner and turn the wheel a lot. The slower your car is going, the more you can turn the steering wheel for grip. I hope this helps a bit
Treat a hairpin as a REALLY gnarly 90 degree turn or two. Take it wide as possible and only hit full throttle when you're on the exit line. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast 😅
Brilliant tips, I’ve been struggling with GT7 coming from GT Sport. The traction tips and throttle control were extra helpful. Have you compared playing GT7 with your direct drive wheel vs the G29? Would be interesting to see your experience. A great example of feeling grip in the wheel would be license test IB-9 (transition between up hill to down hill).
I'd love to try GT7 with my direct drive however it's not directly compatible with GT7 so I'll have to try pick up an adapter to make it work. If I do then maybe I'll make a video about it. I had a very short experience with GT Sport but coming to GT7, I definitely notice that cars are a whole lot more slidey and willing to spin
@@unleasheddrivers1281 I’m a lot more confident now with GT7 but I have literally reverse my force feedback settings in comparison to GT Sport. Instead of sensitivity 10 in gt sport I know have 2. I’ve been applying tips on throttle control and stuff and they’re working! Thank you. 😎
@@michaelschneider1365 I’ve been dabbling in a bit of drifting and I agree with you. They should also have a “practice track” that is extra wide that you can practice drifting and doing donuts and stuff. 🍩
@@acheekydog2863 there’s a ton of features and settings for racing that games like assetto corsa competition does better. But gt is good and a good sim at that. It’s just different always has been.
Thank you again. Had to study some more. I am having problems turning...staying on throttle during turn is an issue. I will definitely keep reviewing this gr8 vid. Thanks!
Great video brother. These tips have been around but I feel you did a great job explaining in detail. The zooming in of the throttle was very helpful and also the driving lines explanation 👍
Thanks for the tips, I've played other gt games with a controller. But recently went over to a wheel. Some tracks I'm 6sec slower on wheel. So much different having to use pedals, but love the new experience. Not brave enough to join online lobbies yet.
Give it some time and you'll be right in there with the wheel setup, I think its a lot more fun and a much more immersive experience. I actually barely ever got to do online racing in GT7 but maybe start off with some public hosted casual sessions before moving into the more "competitive" daily races etc
Breaking markers: have more than one for each corner. When right behind another car or attempting to pass, your primary marker may be blocked by that other car.
Starting over on PS4, my m.2 card in my PS5 got corrupted and I don't trust it. Too bad because I just set up my merc to beat all of the Gr.3 races. Gotta start from scratch. Thanks for the tips, the TC advise is a big help.
i really want to be more faster and improve and become a pro gran turismo racer. By learning this tips and tricks is making me improving but not yet the best but still improving myself in gt7
I’ve always ran with ABS and TCS off and I’m loving GT7 with the G29. I feel if you’ve mastered braking and throttle control it’s quicker.. Currently I’ve been testing all the GR.4 cars without assists and with default tune on RS tires. Trail Mountian is where I’m testing them all to see if any BOP is needed for an upcoming series I want to do. Haven’t tested them all yet but I have tested the Ferrari, Mustang, Corvette, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, NSX , Mercedes, Nissan, McLaren and BMW times are ranging from 1:56.3- 1:56.9 for every car except the BMW… For some Reason the BMW GR.4 is just way off pace as it sits. My gamer tag in the game is DRVN1 and I have videos for all the cars doing these laps in showcase
Am I the only one who doesn’t use braking references consciously? I just brake where it feels right after trial and error, looking for braking points feels like a distraction to me
Another tip I could add: search the the cleanest part of the track. For sure it's in the racing line, and outside of it it's dirty and less grippy. But within the racing line, sometimes there's more grip when inside wheel is on rhe curb, sometimes the curb needs to be in the middle of the car...
Good tips I would include try braking a bit earlier than earlier titles. Gt in the pass we were used to breaking as late as we possibly can without loosing too much speed.
You wanna go faster drive the Formula 1 car, you barely have to slow down for turns and it's very forgiving. I drove it on the Nurburgring for 45 minutes and was sweating at the end of it, it'll make your head spin and feels like you're playing with speed set at 1.5-2x. Doing the Nurburgring in 5:50 is a lot of fun.
Very good. Throttle and brake control will take some time to get right on a controller. If I race perfectly without using these, it seems I am finishing every race in the middle of the pack.
Braking references sound like a great idea for consistent drivers... I find that my exit speeds from each corner are so variable that a consistent braking reference is a recipe for disaster!
I know I’m a bit late here but a lot of these tips can also be learned through doing the License test in the game. Even if you’re not interested in getting Gold in them or anything like that, doing the various challenges in this mode drastically helped me learn the game!
Thanks. I've subbed for future tips etc. I've been playing through the mission races and I couldn't figure out if TCS up or down was helping or hindering me.. I'll try it on 1 like you suggested. Now can you give me some tips with brake bias for the drift cars . What would make more sense
I've been shelving this game currently until the snap oversteer problems have been fixed. So far, there is no slip-angle and currently the game is suffering a very similar issue to iRacing 2 years back. There is little to no slip angle, instead. You are given unforgiven snap oversteer that's completely unrealistic and makes the game not fun, but a complete chore to play. How the car handles within what the game considers "available grip" is amazing thougj
Totally agree with this, its frustratingly difficult to drive as it is but for now I'm just trying to live with it. Do you know if there is confirmation for a fix on this? It would be sad if this gets ignored
It really is, the countersteer assist that doesn't turn off is really no help except for the computer taking over and cranking the wheel all the way to the left or right and wrecking the car.
Great video! I knew most things from racing games in general except that dirty air thing with the formula cars, it makes a lot of sense but I didn’t know GT7 takes that into account ☺️
As you get better at gt7, you should turn off ur racing line, because you would remember the main line, and the breaking area because you can feel if you have to break or not.
Great video thanks for the info! I hope it helps me! Hey! Thanks for putting that up! I just wanted to say I really thought it was really awesome! Love the content! Keep em coming 😁 All the best! Here is a little joke for your efforts! >> I distinctly remember my mother telling me, "I do not have a favourite child." I found this extremely hard to take as a kid, mainly because I was an only child
Very new to GT7. The trail braking tip really helped. A question - when are the fuel based races introduced (I’m still on cafe menu #17) or is it ever introduced
You don't trail brake to the "middle of a corner" as you suggest. Rather you are slowly releasing the brake pedal as you approach the corner apex. Additionally, how you release the brake pedal also contributes to the traction available on the front of the car. If you release too quickly you can upset the weight balance by allowing weight to transfer to the rear of the car. Or if you are back to throttle too early and or heavy you end up with understeer and you will have to lift. Regarding your comment on turning too early. With few exceptions, in any corner with a radius that opens you will want to turn in early, conversely, if the radius tightens you ideally turn in a little later to maximize exit drive. Your comment on carrying corner speed is not a constant. It is sometimes necessary and faster to sacrifice speed to ensure you can properly place the car for the next corner that precedes a straightway. Typically any corner that leads to a longer straight will have a higher value and may require the driver to sacrifice speed in the previous corner/s in order to get the best exit out of the corner leading to said straightaway. Of course the longer the straight away is the more important this becomes. At least this is how it works in the real world on real race tracks.
100% all about being on the throttle and reaching maximum throttle the earliest on the beginning of a flat out section, even sacrificing some time by backing off if there's a slow car ahead, then maintaining the racing line with full throttle and then overtaking after the tight corner
There's always a gt7 lawyer who knows best knocking about . In many drivers opinions this lads tips are really good better than most ,so stick to the bullshit court room
U forgot to mention that a good driving setup can shave u a few of something depends how good u incorporate this and x2 more racing knowledge and micro tuning and super important throttle control, some of these Speed Demons don't break any more, they just downshift and throttle control it to the fullest. No matter the position u are aming for, always show respect to others on track and follow racing rules without destroying game for others. Thank u my co racers and see ya at the track, respect from your friendly racer TwistedMetal
I like to run with that yellow line turned on, it's good to understand the tracks better and gives more visibility during the races I'v been playing with TC On nº 2, I'll try to use nº 1 how you suggested Nice tips!
Switch that line off if will be in the way of you learning the tracks. It was the first option i switched off when i bought the game. You need to pay attention to the recommended gear. And you’ll know when there’s a turn coming. And in time you’ll learn the tracks.

@@unleasheddrivers1281 I’m a lot more confident now with GT7 but I have literally reverse my force feedback settings in comparison to GT Sport. Instead of sensitivity 10 in gt sport I know have 2. I’ve been applying tips on throttle control and stuff and they’re working! Thank you. 😎
@@michaelschneider1365 I’ve been dabbling in a bit of drifting and I agree with you. They should also have a “practice track” that is extra wide that you can practice drifting and doing donuts and stuff. 🍩
@@acheekydog2863 there’s a ton of features and settings for racing that games like assetto corsa competition does better. But gt is good and a good sim at that. It’s just different always has been.
Great video. I didn't think about downforce and the slipstream effects.
Thank you again. Had to study some more. I am having problems turning...staying on throttle during turn is an issue. I will definitely keep reviewing this gr8 vid. Thanks!
Great video brother. These tips have been around but I feel you did a great job explaining in detail. The zooming in of the throttle was very helpful and also the driving lines explanation 👍
Thanks mate!
Nicely explained. Most of all self discipline its a game against yourself to get the most out of it
Great Tips , just started on GT7 thank you
Great tip to not use slip stream during turns... Never thought of that... You're a pro!! Tnx mate
Very good video, i used it to explain to my friend how to drive on track.
Thanks for the tips, I've played other gt games with a controller. But recently went over to a wheel.
Some tracks I'm 6sec slower on wheel. So much different having to use pedals, but love the new experience. Not brave enough to join online lobbies yet.
Give it some time and you'll be right in there with the wheel setup, I think its a lot more fun and a much more immersive experience. I actually barely ever got to do online racing in GT7 but maybe start off with some public hosted casual sessions before moving into the more "competitive" daily races etc
I needed this video. Thank you so much man.
Oh bro Ive watched a few of your videos, Didnt know you ar ea kiwi! Love it
Thanks for the tips. Very helpful.
Great tips! Time to get on and get faster💯
I'm really having fun with the FT-1 right now . This game is addicting for sure. I just wish they had more tracks like COTA. TY
Breaking markers: have more than one for each corner. When right behind another car or attempting to pass, your primary marker may be blocked by that other car.
This is what happened to me, either you punted someone because overshooting, or got punted on the rear because brake too early.
Hey dude been a long fan just wanted to ask if you would make a list of best cars for each circuits?
I’m new to racing and I’m addicted to the skill gap. I gotta get faster 🔥
Some good tips there bro 👍🏼 thanks. Yeah the r8 evo is a nightmare to drive with an controller lol. Pure evil. I need to save up for a wheel tbf.
The tips and tricks here are elite level especially for us who are new to the series.
Driving in the outside view helps a lot with seeing the dry line after it stops raining.
I use the hood / roof cam. The cockpit cam is way too far back - you get a much better FOV driving in real life.
Starting over on PS4, my m.2 card in my PS5 got corrupted and I don't trust it. Too bad because I just set up my merc to beat all of the Gr.3 races. Gotta start from scratch. Thanks for the tips, the TC advise is a big help.
references are great when you start out doing the license challenges, in reality it's about knowing the feel of your car
i really want to be more faster and improve and become a pro gran turismo racer. By learning this tips and tricks is making me improving but not yet the best but still improving myself in gt7
I’ve always ran with ABS and TCS off and I’m loving GT7 with the G29. I feel if you’ve mastered braking and throttle control it’s quicker.. Currently I’ve been testing all the GR.4 cars without assists and with default tune on RS tires. Trail Mountian is where I’m testing them all to see if any BOP is needed for an upcoming series I want to do. Haven’t tested them all yet but I have tested the Ferrari, Mustang, Corvette, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, NSX , Mercedes, Nissan, McLaren and BMW times are ranging from 1:56.3- 1:56.9 for every car except the BMW… For some Reason the BMW GR.4 is just way off pace as it sits. My gamer tag in the game is DRVN1 and I have videos for all the cars doing these laps in showcase
Ok very good tips. Certainly very helpful to new gt player like me
Useful tips! Thanks!
I found on some of the gt3 cars you can lower ur controller setting for guys using controller helps some on wheel spin on exit
I notice the wheels support works better in GT7 than in previous editions. In my case, Im using a generic HORI official PS4, PS3 wheel.
Great Video, you've got a new subscriber
Thanks gustardo!
Found Brands Hatch really difficult while drinking. And I can do that safe in home. Brilliant
Am I the only one who doesn’t use braking references consciously? I just brake where it feels right after trial and error, looking for braking points feels like a distraction to me
Me too
I subbed due to the quality of the content
Another tip I could add: search the the cleanest part of the track. For sure it's in the racing line, and outside of it it's dirty and less grippy.
But within the racing line, sometimes there's more grip when inside wheel is on rhe curb, sometimes the curb needs to be in the middle of the car...
Good tips I would include try braking a bit earlier than earlier titles. Gt in the pass we were used to breaking as late as we possibly can without loosing too much speed.
Thanks for the extra tip!
I like to buy racing brakes and pads and weight reduction 1 for almost everything to help, even if I have to detune the motor a bit
Great video the visuals is fantastic
Well, this is basically a basic racing knowledge for casual player, But all of it are great tips for everyone. 👍
You wanna go faster drive the Formula 1 car, you barely have to slow down for turns and it's very forgiving. I drove it on the Nurburgring for 45 minutes and was sweating at the end of it, it'll make your head spin and feels like you're playing with speed set at 1.5-2x. Doing the Nurburgring in 5:50 is a lot of fun.
Thanks. Great tips. Newbie to gt7 and my cornering is terrible
these tips were great, thank you :)
Loved your vid. Count me a New Subscriber. Keep up the great work
Very good. Throttle and brake control will take some time to get right on a controller. If I race perfectly without using these, it seems I am finishing every race in the middle of the pack.
The PS5 DualSense controller with its adaptive triggers make the brake and throttle control surprisingly intuitive!
Braking references sound like a great idea for consistent drivers... I find that my exit speeds from each corner are so variable that a consistent braking reference is a recipe for disaster!
Thank you excellent tutorial
Good content. Well thought out.
I know I’m a bit late here but a lot of these tips can also be learned through doing the License test in the game. Even if you’re not interested in getting Gold in them or anything like that, doing the various challenges in this mode drastically helped me learn the game!
Thanks. I've subbed for future tips etc. I've been playing through the mission races and I couldn't figure out if TCS up or down was helping or hindering me.. I'll try it on 1 like you suggested. Now can you give me some tips with brake bias for the drift cars . What would make more sense
I'd say +5 since that makes it easier to make the car oversteer.
Thanks for the upload mate 👍👍👍👍👍
My in-game ‘69 Camaro with all the go-fast mods really helped me learn throttle control…on Laguna. 😂
That sounds like a lot of fun!! I still need to do so much in GT7, I've barely progressed since the first day because of making all these videos
Holy Shit after 15 years of Gran Turismo i finally understand TCS Thanks.
I've been shelving this game currently until the snap oversteer problems have been fixed. So far, there is no slip-angle and currently the game is suffering a very similar issue to iRacing 2 years back. There is little to no slip angle, instead. You are given unforgiven snap oversteer that's completely unrealistic and makes the game not fun, but a complete chore to play.
How the car handles within what the game considers "available grip" is amazing thougj
Totally agree with this, its frustratingly difficult to drive as it is but for now I'm just trying to live with it. Do you know if there is confirmation for a fix on this? It would be sad if this gets ignored
@@unleasheddrivers1281 what’s slip angle? And does this have anything to do with why it’s so difficult to correct accidentally oversteering
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Coming from GT sport using a controller must say I find GT 7 very difficult. Not the cafe menus but the championships.
It really is, the countersteer assist that doesn't turn off is really no help except for the computer taking over and cranking the wheel all the way to the left or right and wrecking the car.
Great video! I knew most things from racing games in general except that dirty air thing with the formula cars, it makes a lot of sense but I didn’t know GT7 takes that into account ☺️
As you get better at gt7,
you should turn off ur racing line, because you would remember the main line, and the breaking area because you can feel if you have to break or not.
Now remember kids, when you don't use traction control and full throttle you're gonna have a bad time
Yeah, it's wonderful. I've gone from crisp and accurate GT Sport, to 'Oil tankers on ice' GT7. Well worth the price of my DD pro rig.
You think the physics are worse or just more difficult?
@@aliendrifts better in some cases, over exaggerated in others.
Great video thanks for the info! I hope it helps me!
Hey! Thanks for putting that up! I just wanted to say I really thought it was really awesome! Love the content! Keep em coming 😁 All the best!
Here is a little joke for your efforts! >>
I distinctly remember my mother telling me, "I do not have a favourite child."
I found this extremely hard to take as a kid, mainly because I was an only child
Throttle control is absolutely key for lower and or no TC.
Very new to GT7. The trail braking tip really helped.
A question - when are the fuel based races introduced (I’m still on cafe menu #17) or is it ever introduced
You know your good at throttle control when you can control the Corvette stringray 59 without traction control
My problem was braking and ty it helped
THNXX
Great video and tips. 👍🏽
When in doubt, go flat out!!! And I’m always in doubt 😂
Excellent tips here. Very useful 👌
Thanks mate!
I'm coming from Forza Horizon 5 (that I absolutely loved) to Gran Turismo 7. It's like a grenade vs a scalpel 😁
You don't trail brake to the "middle of a corner" as you suggest. Rather you are slowly releasing the brake pedal as you approach the corner apex. Additionally, how you release the brake pedal also contributes to the traction available on the front of the car. If you release too quickly you can upset the weight balance by allowing weight to transfer to the rear of the car. Or if you are back to throttle too early and or heavy you end up with understeer and you will have to lift. Regarding your comment on turning too early. With few exceptions, in any corner with a radius that opens you will want to turn in early, conversely, if the radius tightens you ideally turn in a little later to maximize exit drive. Your comment on carrying corner speed is not a constant. It is sometimes necessary and faster to sacrifice speed to ensure you can properly place the car for the next corner that precedes a straightway. Typically any corner that leads to a longer straight will have a higher value and may require the driver to sacrifice speed in the previous corner/s in order to get the best exit out of the corner leading to said straightaway. Of course the longer the straight away is the more important this becomes. At least this is how it works in the real world on real race tracks.

100% all about being on the throttle and reaching maximum throttle the earliest on the beginning of a flat out section, even sacrificing some time by backing off if there's a slow car ahead, then maintaining the racing line with full throttle and then overtaking after the tight corner
There's always a gt7 lawyer who knows best knocking about . In many drivers opinions this lads tips are really good better than most ,so stick to the bullshit court room
@@carlwyatt5036 Unlike most sim racers/influencers I practice what I preach... how about you? www.youtube.com/@FL50ssp/videos I rest my case.
@@carlwyatt5036 No one cares what you think, lil bro
Good tips, thank you
U forgot to mention that a good driving setup can shave u a few of something depends how good u incorporate this and x2 more racing knowledge and micro tuning and super important throttle control, some of these Speed Demons don't break any more, they just downshift and throttle control it to the fullest. No matter the position u are aming for, always show respect to others on track and follow racing rules without destroying game for others. Thank u my co racers and see ya at the track, respect from your friendly racer TwistedMetal
I like to run with that yellow line turned on, it's good to understand the tracks better and gives more visibility during the races
I'v been playing with TC On nº 2, I'll try to use nº 1 how you suggested
Nice tips!
Switch that line off if will be in the way of you learning the tracks. It was the first option i switched off when i bought the game.
You need to pay attention to the recommended gear. And you’ll know when there’s a turn coming. And in time you’ll learn the tracks.
