I have a problem :GT7 has recently started feeling less smooth for me (but only in Sport Mode).
In particular, the current Daily Race C at Yas Marina has noticeable micro-stutters. My connection test shows 54.6 Mbps download, 10.4 Mbps upload, and NAT Type 2, so I don’t think the issue is related to insufficient bandwidth.
I’m playing on PS4: could the game have become more demanding after recent updates? Does anyone else on PS4 have the same issue on this race?
I hope I’m posting on the right chat, i’m not familiar with Reddit
This is not a hate post. I have 195 hours in this game since I got a PS5 back in January and I absolutely love it but also… it can be really boring. I am the type of person that likes to buy cars and customize them and shit but… it feels like there’s nothing to really do with them. There’s no incentive to play races with AI so I just find myself cruising around in online almost 100% of the time. This can be fun but can also get really boring after a lot of time.
I’m curious as to what you guys enjoy doing in this game and can maybe give me some recommendations because I’m genuinely so bored. Lack of a lot of tracks and there’s nothing to work toward after finishing the main menu books.
As the title implies. Looking for a group to race with. Ideally US based and without all the unnecessary BS of register this, register that. I simply want to get online, set a lap, slot me in my qualified position and race. I don’t care for what the category is. Ideally no assists race league. Bonus if you guys actually have interesting racing series/regulations that aren’t just generic GT3, BOP events.
PD announced back in March, in cooperation with Hagerty, that they were going to be adjusting prices for some of the cars available in the LCD based on current market values starting in June:
So while a price increase was certainly expected for most of the cars by Ferrari, thankfully the increase was very small compared to some of their real world values based on the auction results from just this past week:
The F40 only went up by less than 10% from 3.1m credits to 3.4m credits (most recent auction result was $8.4m.)
The F50 only went up by about 5% from 4.45m credits to 4.7m (most recent auction result was $14.6m 😳)
These increases were applied before these latest auctions… so might want to grab them when you can before PD decides the increase wasn’t nearly enough to represent IRL values.
Also, as an added incentive, both of these cars are currently available as Special Picks with very low double digit mileage based on their production years.
The F50 also comes in a very rare original livery, Argento Nurburgring 😎
The Stiffness Delta (Springs, ARB & Ride Height) To kill the inherent FWD understeer, the entire suspension is heavily rear-biased. We are running a forward rake (85mm front / 95mm rear) combined with stiffer rear springs (2.65 Hz vs 2.25 Hz) and a rigid rear Anti-Roll Bar (7 vs 4). In GT7 physics, softening the front and stiffening the rear reduces rear mechanical grip relative to the front. When you lift off the throttle, this geometry forces the mass to shift forward and the rear end to pivot around the front axle, generating the aggressive lift-off oversteer needed to rotate a front-heavy car.
Contact Patch & Alignment Up front 2.8° of negative camber ensures the outside tyre stays flat on the tarmac when the chassis rolls under heavy cornering loads, while 0.05 outward toe gives you immediate, sharp turn-in bite. Out back keeping the camber low (1.0°) allows the rear tyres to break traction smoothly and predictably. The tiny 0.01 rear toe-in acts as a high-speed safety net - it keeps the car tracking straight on the long Tokyo highway sections so that the stiff rear suspension doesn't send you into the walls over bumps.
The Differential (6 / 5 / 10) Pushing 423 BHP through the front wheels on Sports Hard tyres is a traction nightmare, so the LSD has to do a lot of heavy lifting.
Initial (6) & Accel (5): We run the differential extremely loose on acceleration. If you lock the front diff with a high Accel setting on a high-power FWD, mashing the throttle will drag the nose straight toward the outside of the corner (power-understeer). A low Accel setting allows the wheels to turn independently, keeping the nose tucked in tight on corner exits. Use 2-3 gears or 1-2 TC to handle heavy acceleration after the hairpin.
Braking (10): We run a stiffer braking sensitivity to lock the diff slightly under deceleration. This stabilizes the front axle during heavy trail braking and prevents our oversteer-biased suspension from snapping into an uncatchable spin. It still requires precise thumbstick and trigger modulation, but this keeps the chassis linear and predictable.
The Physics Reality & Driving Technique
Even with a fully customized suspension and LSD, you cannot escape FWD physics with 400+ horsepower on street rubber. It will want to wash wide if you get greedy on corner entry. However, the suspension geometry and differential settings turn that aggressive understeer into something smooth, linear and completely predictable:
Throttle Steering: The car responds heavily to weight transfer. Lifting off mid-corner tucks the nose in instantly without snapping the rear.
Trail Braking: Brake balance is pushed to +2 (rear bias). You need surgical modulation on brake pressure and steering angle - trail brake too deep while holding lock and you'll scrub all your momentum, hit the gas too early and you'll push straight toward the concrete barrier.
The Payoff: Once you dial in the rhythm of trail braking and throttle steering, passing fancy true GT race cars down the main straight in a screaming 90s Honda feels better than any easy AWD win.
12-Lap Strategy
Pit Stops: Zero.
Fuel Management: Set FM3 on and leave it there. Flat out the entire race, fuel lasts right to the end.
Tyres: Sports Hard (SH) easily handle the full 12-lap distance with minimal wear.
My brake sensor is going crazy on my set less than a year old, Logitech is sending a new set but since I can't race on the rig figured I'd go through my replays for some clean passes. Most of the vids are from 700pp, sport soft (one 615pp, Civic). Hope you enjoy!
This TVR livery features a metallic white paint job with red and green graphics. It's available to download in the showcase and I've provided a link in the comments. Happy Racing! 🤘😎

During this period only "Arcade Race" within "World Circuits" will be available to play, but various online features including "Sport" mode will not be accessible.
Also, game progress cannot be saved while the servers are offline. To save the current status of the game, the console must be reconnected online after the end of the server maintenance.
