I can't beat up on PD too much about what they give us. But for the people designing these VGT cars... wtf?
I think there is more body shape variation in NASCAR. How many different companies can put out the same long, low, swoopy coupe thing? Not that any VGT cars are beloved or widely-used but I recall BMW making one that was practically an M2, pretty cool. I also personally loved the Subaru one that was like a rabid station wagon. I'm sure that hasn't made it to GT7 though. |

Was fun. Full-weight R32 at Interlagos really kills the front right tire. LOL

Lots of fun racing, glad you could come. Wicked fast! I enjoyed my "fake" 430 Scuderia. I was rocking the stock suspension haha.

February Races
And then for February we're doing the following!
Spec Miata Schedule (Fuel and Tire will all be 1/1) 2/5/24 @ 8:15 PM Road Atlanta Qualify: 5 Minutes Race: 2X 10 Laps 2/12/24 @ 8:15 PM Blue Moon Infield A Qualify: 5 Minutes Race: 2X 10 Laps 2/19/24 @ 8:15 PM Catalunya National Qualify: 5 Minutes Race: 2X 10 Laps 2/26/24 @ 8:15 PM Tsukuba Qualify: 5 Minutes Race: 2X 10 Laps We will also be using a Points System. No prize, just bragging rights. The spec Miata is available in the Mazda dealer. 2022 ND Miata with the roll cage. See attached photos of the required parts to be installed. Everyone will have the same parts installed, same close ratio transmission and a STOCK LSD. There are two close ratio non-adjustable transmissions to pick from. You can choose either. In testing the longer ratio seemed to make more sense to me, but may not to someone else. Of note, my buddy that "made" this build used the High Lift Camshaft S, which is unavailable if you're below Level 50. If anyone that wants to participate in these races isn't Level 50 you can vary your build to get to the same power figures.

Super interested in the Miata series.
Side note, Im straight up not having a good time at my current driver rating. B/High-C class drivers are tough, and even worse, being in SR-C lobbies. I have a "stay alive in the first laps" dogma. But it ends up hurting me because I lose time. But if I push, I run the risk of getting hit and spin out. Hard to get into a good rhythm when there's so much chaos all around. |

It can be hard to "fall in" with a good group some times.

Yup, this is a good thing to do in those groups. Let them ram each other off the track, and you take the positions without doing anything aside from treating it like a time attack.
