Do not be fooled by traction control, it is an aid for beginners. The limited slip differential (LSD) is traction control for the professional driver. Traction control limits the rotation of the driven wheels, by lowering engine revs. The LSD also limits the rotation of the driven wheels, but it does not lower engine revs. Can you see the immediate advantage? Learn how to tune the LSD, and in the process of doing so, you will understand more about the car that you are driving.

The people who complain about using TC/ABS are ridiculous. These are features used in REAL RACE CARS. Not in all cars in all leagues of course but it's patently ridiculous to assume that turning on TC/ABS is somehow a crutch. With the ridiculous horsepower of many cars, they simply would not be controllable without these technological features.

I find I’m using Traction Control far more than I ever did in GT Sport.

Honestly I felt they did such a great job with gt7 in terms of teaching you how to drive without assists. I played sport with cone markers on but I started gt7 with no assists other than weak abs and I’ve already learned most of the tracks pretty well.

I went from GT6 to GT7, skipping GTSport. I have to say although I never used it myself, cone markers were my favorite way to show clipping points and just like real life can be knocked and moved around. My dissapointment seeing it wasn't an option was higher than I thought it'd be. I understand if they didn't want to have to put cones on narrow high way circuits but most already have wall mounted clipping point markers in some way shape or form so all I'd want is cone options for tracks that can support it

RIP Cone Markers 💙 F to pay respects

For some reason I had ABS off the whole time up to car collector lever 10. I kept wondering why my braking seemed so much more intense compared to the CPU's 😭 My lap times has improved so much after setting it back to default!

Nothing better than a British dude explaining cars. Thanks for the tips!

Something you didn't talk about, the trigger effect strength. On strong it won't allow you to have full throttle control, it will jump upto 20% a time where as with weak or off you have full control.

I appreciate you explaining things. Keep up the good work! If you ever make a tuning/upgrades guide i bet youd do a good job there too

7:25 force feedback sensitivity is actually works like “minimum force” or “ffb deadzone” at pc sims. What it does is if you set it to 10, there will always 10% torque applied by the force motors constantly and you will eliminate the deadzone at the center. For example most of the logitech wheels have around 7%-8% force deadzone and it does not react to the forces below 7% that sent by the game so higher values will give you an accurate ffb and smoother experience.

I was so comfortable driving Gr.3 and Gr.2 cars without TCS in GT Sport, now in GT7 it’s driving me nuts, feels like I’m learning anew.

I’ve been playing gt sport for years and using all of these features slows me down a lot. If your new to the game use whatever you need to get better but over time the goal to be fast is to have all the assists off. Traction control is probably the most difficult to get used to on 0 but by far the most important for fast lap times.

The counter steer assist is used for drifting

For nordschleiffe its a trick with the gearbox and the way i drive that makes me much faster with a lot off cars this works for most other tracks but not all .. the trick is a quite wide gearbox with a high top speed geared in a way you can hang in corners on low revs 1 gear higher then the indicator suggests it makes me go 20 km faster on some corners wich is a big deal if you can pull that off consistantly over longer tracks or in endurance races

I’m playing with my two sons and this video has given me more ideas for how I can impose some handicaps on myself and make it easier for my kids to enjoy the game more :)

Anyone else find the braking indicators is different from GT Sport? In Sport you would hit the brakes the moment the word Brake flashed on screen. In GT7 it feels by the time the word Brake is on screen you're probably already too late. I find just before it comes on you hit the brakes.

So many views man !! Nice hope the channel takes off!!

Super cool that you are doing this for those beginning, having had the benefit of your guidance in GT I know that it will be essential and of high value to all. Like deployed 👍

If you’re better or have more experience racing, take traction control off, it give more freedom and can help you to get faster laps, 1-3 seconds. And it does make a difference, I recommend to start to play without traction control because you’ll get used to it fastet

The only assist I use is abs. And I'll use TCS in the rain. But if I'm able to tune and the car is a good handling vehicle I'll try to tune well enough for rain. But when you're thrown into a mission or license test just turn TCS on for rain lol.

I leave the braking and line indicators on it just makes it more fun for me some tracks i am pretty good on with or without but in general they help me judge the speed and helps me focus on driving i take them with a pinch of salt i use them like a guide and once i am used tocthe track 3 or 4 laps in i ignore them and docmy own thing there are some tracks where a certain corner always catches me out again after 3 or 4 laps i just follow the guide roughly and it helps me enjoy the game without having to restart over and over just my personal opinion that in "real" life you have 3 dimensions and the feeling of speed and braking so using this makes it more realistic for your average driver the pure hardcore racers will remember braking points ect i use it the same way and use it how i want to so as long as you dont completely follow it exactly and just find your own way they are worth leaving on and i dont think its cheating at all!

i Play whit dual sense also. i use no counter steer as it is bad to use. automatic steer or help only corrects if you turn to little or to much. i use TCS on lvl 1 or 2. track times deep forest between 2.23 and 2.24. not fast i guess but it's ok i only play single player. i just started playing again after absent for years. i mostly play world gt in single player. my fastest time on mount is 2:01 in jag. but great seeing others trying to help whit settings and advice😊

Upcoming channel right here. Very well done Sir!

Hello, thank you for all these very complete and interesting explanations, on my side after a few hours of play I had the unpleasant surprise to see that the counter-steering aid was active and once removing it was a completely different driving and mastery of the vehicle I found the gran turismo that I like (I should have seen your video before) on the other hand it is true that the traction control depending on the track or the car has easily risen to 5 me I prefer to force myself to stay between 1 and 3 knowing that I drive with an automatic gearbox because I'm disabled in one hand and I still managed to do the first 3 license in gold, the fourth I can't do IA3 because of the update and the S license I haven't tried it yet I preferred to concentrate on the circuits and make money once I pocketed my supra Gr 4 because I know that like in any gran turismo the money will be rare and hard to win so I race on high speed ring 97 500 cr with the sup ra gr 4 equipped with nitro with a ballast and a power reduction set the ballast to 48 6 94 in the vehicle options and doing a clean race becomes easy to farm the money and buy all the new cars from the dealership before doing the race coffee mode and trigger the second-hand market here is where I am ... good race to all

Thanks Chris! I will need to experiment with the force feed back on the G29, thanks for the advice

Been using TCS 0 and counter steer assist on weak. TCS neuters a cars potential far more now than it ever has before. Counter steer assist has saved me from random slip oversteer even when TCS is enabled.

All I do is ABS on weak and I adjust traction control depending on the car's power playing between 1 and 3 and it's perfect for me :)

Countersteering dosent aid against spinning out, what it is is when you turn left or right, countersteering will try to turn the wheel in the opposite direction AFTER you recenter the steering wheel or controller stick to make steering smoother and not so snappy, basically smoothing out your high speed turning from left-right

Awesome tips but at the end you mentioned you use a G29. It has so little torque that when you put your levels so low you will miss all the detail on the track and tires

I really miss the cones we used to have in gt sport, not happy with the braking zone setting i just want my cone!!! 😂

I've settled on TCS 2 for most situations. Can get a little loose for quick flicks without spinning out

I have noticed the gearbox braking indicator to be inaccurate at times, sometimes so much that you will slam into a wall if you don't brake a second or 2 before it flashes. It is especially noticeable whenever the track conditions change.

Just got this game yesterday and I hope I get used to this.

WOW thanks you showing how to set the wheel setting maks this game LOTS better feal now

I totally turn off traction control for AWD cars like GTR, EVO etc but traction control to 2 and up depended on the power of the RWD cars and the tires.

Currently an A+ S and do race IRL. Far too much oversteer, an FR car simply does not respond like this mid corner. Feels almost like a 2 stroke motorcycle highsiding…car feel is reduced

That car specifically is very stable, I run it with no tc or 1 tc. However, there are some cars out there that I struggle with even at 5 tc and trying to modulate the throttle.

Good video, hope to see you on track soon!!😁🙌🏼

Countersteering with motion controls is the way

When I turned off the Replace Car After Leaving Track, it doesn't seem to have any effect in any GR.3 race because it will restart to the track if your car goes off track.

I feel like they need to recalibrate the brakes, barely stepping on the pedal fully locks them with tons of travel still left in the pedal. Then maybe we can turn ABS back off.

I look up what the car has available irl, like if it has abs or tc.

Hi Doughtinator, I need some help. I use the pad. I use the force max torque feedback to 1. Instead, for the force feedback sensitivity to 9. I do not know if it is correct, and I do not think it's fair.

TCM is usefull sometimes,so u can turn of-off quickly,very few corners didn't gived me space and spun me out,there I use 'em.

I gotta remember brake bias at 6:50

The car tuning is very different, I drive Willow Springs quite frequently and you can take turn 2 pretty fast but I cannot take turn 2 in any rear wheel drive car without the back end trying to come around. My track car is ~450 wheel HP, rear wheel drive with no TCS and I don't worry about spinning at all on willow springs.

You can usually go faster with abs off but you need to really keep your cool and master it. You can usually just brake that little bit later.

personally i cant use abs default i always feel slower and struggle a bit with it. For those with it off try to change Brake Balance.

When it comes to the sensitivity on my controller I put it on -1 it helps me be smoother on my inputs to carry more speed through the corner

Anyone else here play with motion controls? Just me?

TCS always off for FWD and AWD for me in this game. TCS set to 1 for RWD. Trying to do RWD without traction on with a controller is damn near impossible.

Most of the time I run tc on 1, but wit mr cars I might bump it up to a 2 or 3.

All drivingaids off works the best for me, it's also the most fun way to drive.

Mario Kart aside this is my first racing game. Having a blast with it. But omg, I turned off tc in game when I thought it controlled what gear that I was in. 😅😅😅 thanks for this video, now I know why my cars all of a sudden started spinning out of control really easily, lol. Now I can turn tc back on one and use abs. Thanks again. I'm subbing to see what other useful things you post about in the future. Have fun racing.

I also used the cone markers on gt sport, missing on gt7 really messing me up atm

Manual and Automatic - There us no difference in a gear change. Only difference that you can manually control a gear on a turn, which obviously giving you some advantage.

Thanks for this video. I’ve just got a G29 and this game is my first ever time playing any sort of driving game with a wheel and have been having some issues with trying to control the car I can get so far but can’t get perfect lines or my braking right seem to keep over cooking it or not able to get around fast corners always I’ll definitely try out your settings too. I also assume some races your going to need to really tube the cars up to keep pa e with the others anyways regardless of wheel or car settings.

Replace car after leaving track.. resets your settings if you adjust whilst on track.

I've been driving my self nuts trying to drive these gr.3 cars without tc lol. I want to learn to drive without tc but it's so hard on this game. Tomorrow I will start with tc

The only thing I don't like about gt7 is the kick option cause sometimes I'm just driving and I ACCIDENTALLY BUMP INTO SOMEONE AND THEY KICK ME but either then that I love this game.

I wish they would let us use the x button to accelerate and square button to Break like we use to play on the earlier games I can’t play this game anymore. Might have to buy a stirring wheel to play it

In the past, the "wheel systems settings" weren't even close to the wireless vibrating controller settings. Do you operate the latter too?

I run no assists using sports tires. If you are having issues with losing traction, turn your LSD all the way down in each category. So it will be 5/5/5. LSD in my opinion is your most important setting. I also run my cars with maximum stiffness. Here is me using my evo 6 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brufhbCluqyWfnU.html Tuning your LSD to its lowest setting works for all drivetrains.

I was trying to fid out how to set the car up, in particular suspension and LSD settings. No one seems to cover that

You have any tuning tutorials on the way ? This is helpful

Thanks for the video very cute explained 🖤🖤 helped so much

Great informative video brother! Subbed 🙏🏻

So I go by SB1073 from Gran Turismo 6 aids for that series like skid recovery , steering assist just to mention don't seem to be in part 7 or is it named something else?

I have to use tcs with a controller as I can’t consistently apply the same pressure on the brakes atm. I have to balance it out with accelerator.

This helped a lot. Great video appreciate you. 🙏

The only thing iv notived with Countersteering on is it restricts me from drifting properly

Larry Stevens Subscribed! Need more stuff like this for sure mate 👍

TCS, even at 1, is much slower than 0. TCS is way more intrusive than in GT Sport. Even if you wheel spin badly with TCS at 0, it's still faster than any amount of TCS most of the time.

I’ve been using motion controls I found that it really gives me the nuance in steering that I desire

THANK. YOU. Bets vid on this topic.

Durring play forza on gamepad i used manual with clutch in GT7 i miss those ;c

Thanks man, I haven't played since GT5 and I'm a bit rusty. Your vid was clear and helpful!

How do I save a setting a sheet? every time I put different things on and click back they go away.

Very informative and useful, thanks :D

really deserve more subs bro, well explained video, i have been simracing on PC for some time and bought PS5 because of GT7 and currently playing on gamepad as i cant move my racing rig over to PS5 with TV now and plugging PS5 to my ultrawide would look like shit at 1080p as theres no 1440p support unfortunately, i was looking for some tips to help me learn race on gamepad and this vid was excellent

Over steer is a constant issue for me no matter what I do, and it's only with rwd cars, can someone please tell me how to prevent it, I never had this issue in any gran tursimo

Previous GT releases leaving TC off was the way to get the fastest times..however GT7 PD has rethought this direction. I know in the past it would be considered taboo to use TC, that somehow using TC, there would be those in the community who would actually berate drivers who used it. I have always tried to explain that for years now, today even more than ever, TC is a big part of racing, more specifically GT3 as an example. Stability control however is pretty much banned throughout racing. My theory is, like you leaving it on default, if the real world car or series has/allows it then it’s ok to use. IF you’re goal is simulation, then we should try to mimic real world is close as possible imho. Like you,I was heavily into sim, spending thousands of hours, all Dev versions…worked hard for years trying to put my rig together…in the earlier days, I was buying used piecing together what I could! Hell, I remember when Pcars came out in 2016, I still couldn’t afford a wheel, so my first 600-700+hrs was all on controller. Finally scraping the money together to get a used T300, building a home made rig…well, the sheer use, 4hrs+ a day through the week and 10-12+hrs/day on the weekends…the T300 lasted about a year, blew the worm gear…Thrustmaster wanted just as much to fix as to replace…so I bought my first used Fanatec…GT3rs, I was hooked on Fanatec, what a wheel and difference from Thrustmaster to Fanatec. Anyway, I ended up finally getting my rig where I wanted it. upgraded the rig, and the wheel /pedals….but unfortunately unknown to me, I was burning out, had spent $500 on iRacing alone, was putting hundreds of hrs RaceRoom, iRacing, AC, ACC, StockCar Extreme…then in 2020, I had received a big promotion and I stepped out of the rig, didn’t touch it for two years…GT7 revised me….something about just being able to use the controller if you want, or wheel..GT7 going back to its grassroots, gave me the incentive to get back into SiM. Love GT7 . I just need to find a way not to put myself in the same position as last time, which turned me away from Racing SiM burnout. Hey, great channel. I stumbled on it in my recommend feed, glad I clicked on your vid…great content keep it up!

I found that its easier to trailbreak with abs set to weak.

TCS is huge. 0 is far faster than 1, and 1 is sticky enough for almost every car and track. There are cars and tracks will I will never use anything but 0, and some cars and corners that are really tricky with a controller on 0. On those tracks learn to switch down from 1 ASAP, to save some speed.

Thank you enjoyed that , just bought yesterday , what a great game 👍 sub 👍

Have you tested any fanatec wheels or other direct drives? If so what do you feel is a better purchase? I got the game few days ago ... Def want a wheel

Anyone having problems with turbos? For some reason my turbos on all my cars don’t boost regardless of what turbo I use and I’m being left behind on straights in sport mode. HELP!!

Help. At some track, I am using the left right buttons to steer on my steering wheel and at some corners for some car, the driver would not steer even I press the left or right button. Or the driver steer at 5 deg, until I hit a wall or put some gas before the driver wakes up and turn at higher degree. Help

Very informative Chris 👍 Any recommended settings for wheels that might make it easier to catch a sliding rear end? (I know I’m on a different wheel to you though)

I just began using absulutely 0 assists leaving only ABS in, and its on another level, reaction time, steady nerves and high concentration for long periods of time. Point being it's a completely different game, and you cant drive like this as long as with normal assists on, too much stress😂

Hi Dough. If you have the 75 Ferrari 308, any chance that you could tune it for Dragon's Trail? I can't seem to get it right. I barely managed 3th for the Cafe Mission to collect Ferrari, but I want to know better settings. Thanks. (I'm editing a livery for you on the VW Samba bus. )I'll let you know when it's ready.

I got GT7 (disc) for my PS4 Pro a couple of days ago. Installation went fine, update version 1.06 download went fine, everything worked fine, except that I cannot get past the "Music Rally". I drove all the events, finished all of them okay, but the World Screen still only gives me access to the garage, cafe and used cars. Nothing else. Also doesn't recognise the daily km's I have driven in those events. So I uninstalled GT7, reinstalled, same problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated... ?

and you mod your pedal removing the rubber? Mine g29 will arrive tomorrow :)

This helped my steering allot

Loads of information…Cheers bud

4:16 i tried without the countersteering on but it made me more difficult to win the next races, it slips a bit more, loses traction when i streer as posible to take the turn and when i downshift, the car spins out or loses control for no reason even if i use racing soft tires, why does that happen?

Is there a way to adjust the actual rotational sensitivity? Or is it lo ked at 1:1 steering Rotation? I would prefer to only have to turn my wheel 90 degrees and have it do a full turn in game.

Cone markers were money. I hope they come back at some point.

I miss the cone markers too.
