The 45° rule was new to me, will keep that in mind, thank you.

I watched this to double check there wasn't something I was missing as I was still struggling with my steering wheel and been struggling to figure out why. Thank you so much, I think it applies with any game. I have been overdriving the car and finding I get oversteer on exit, this weekend I felt much more consistent as I have been more aware of the steering angle and whether I am +/- 45 degrees

Guide videos are always useful, no matter what level you're at, you learn much faster watching others who are further down the road you're on, keep making them pal.

Love it mate, love the comedy factor to it also.. still to this day the best piece of advice I've picked up came from you as in 'DON'T' lift unless completely necessary i.e. steer out until traction gained

Love the video and your no unnecessary fluff style. Cheers and go fast, mate!

Thanks so much for the advice, I changed a few things I've picked up almost half second with a ton more consistency 🙏

Very well said! I have gotten pretty quick following your advice for a while now. Someday I’ll have the time to get a wheel, and I can’t wait to try out the 45 degree rule.

Outstanding video , been playing for a very long time, also haven’t ever been very good . Wow 45 degrees , I feel less dumb thank you

Good content thanks for going through it all Here to see if I missed anything I will say that I disagree on learning the track without the corner indicators… while you do learn the track yourself- I find it very helpful to use the corner indicators to let me know where the apex are and, less importantly, where the widest point on exit would be so I kinda know where to aim for throttle… Obviously all subjective and I link your video. I did want people to stay open to that cuz it’s led to me knowing the courses quicker. I don’t use the line assistance because in competition you don’t actually get the line you want, but rather take the best line at the time. I then off corner assistance after I know the track a bit and then I play with the variables. (Braking points, trail speed, etc) Thumbs up on the vid man!

I worked the angle thing recently just bought a wheel. Im a noob and when i would look for reasons as to why i spin out alot... the advice was ALWAYS throttle control ... your right that secondary, the real determining factor is your steering angle on exit... your the first youtuber to mention this.

Cheers Del , great information, I"ve got the memory of a goldfish so use corner indicators , deffo manual and turn everything off people that are switching auto to manual pick a track with a long straight like to go up and down the gears

Brilliant information. 👍👍

Excellent refresher guide mate. Thank you

Thank you for the advice brother 🙏

Thanks for the tips. I've been playing GT7 for 8 months now and only thing I've left on is TC1 when using every car except 4WD cars. Really struggling to let go. But your right and I just need to rip the bandaid off.

Wow! Thanks 👍 I’m an A+ driver (just about) 😂 and I didn’t know about the 45 degree rule. I’ll be testing that. On my second fun account. I sometimes have counter steer assist set to weak. It very rarely flashes on, but I sometimes use it because the pit manoeuvre gets used by so many drivers. Especially in lower lobbies. Far more than on GT Sport. I’ve also noticed that using these assists are slower. But the difference is much less than in GT Sport. Even Jim Brea is using the counter steer assist at times. Great video and thanks for the info 👍

Another great video. The ABS is so counter-intuitive. But you're right, every time I get the itch to try weak or off, I pay the price for it. By the way, that steering tip is big. I wish I had learned that much earlier than I did. You're making such good content.

cheers for the tips mate. i have started using manual gears and have found it to be a lot faster than automatic.

Think I need this advice 😃 nice one dude 👍✅ gonna take the plunge and only keep the brake indicator, been using TCS for too long and always the same amount of seconds off the pace from the top times, apart from a couple of circuits.

Cheers Dellboy, in GT Sport, I used some assists, the one I could never get rid off was driving in automatic. I did decently tho, kept cones on as sometimes those would help me using them as braking marks in some tracks (they removed those in gt7). I used the drivin line for a lot of time until I realized it was not the real best line to follow in a race. In gt7 used the breaking zone and realized as well it wasn't accurate for different types of cars, dunno how it works calculating when you need to break as it moves towards you the faster you go (which is logical) but it doesn't seem to have into consideration your current car and it's behaviours. Never used any of the other assists for longer than a few days into gt7, I quickly realised they were hindering my driving badly. Lastly, a few months ago I decided to bite the bullet and learn how to use manual properly in the game... Huge game changer for me, my times started getting so much faster. I drive today with the exact same assists you have here, and it's definitely the fastest way to go! 200% proved true!

Thank you sir .

Had no idea about the 45 degree, I will watch out for that mate. A good way to get quicker is do as delboy says with settings but then go a do circuit experience, not only will it make you quicker as you learn all the tracks but it also gives you like £50 plus million coins . Defo worth putting in the effort Great video as always delboy

Thanks mate! Much appreciated!

Hiya mate, i hope all is well. The 45% is a great shout.. i bet 90% of us, will think ***** thats why my backside slips out.. Cheers for the great video.

Yes indeed, It’s a bold statement !

Some very helping hints and tips mate Thanks

Good info there as always.

Thanks for the tips. I've been running on weak ABS for a while now, and wondering why my steering is soooo sensitive while braking into a corner. Cheers! Subscribed.

Superb vid dude!

Hallo Delboy you forgot to talk about the controll sensitivity what is best for controller and a steering wheel?

I, like a lot of people didnt even know these setting were set against us. I changed these setting to your suggestions and im already shaving seconds of my lap times. I practiced round Le Mans for the gear changes and acceleration from corners in the rain. What a difference, cheers m8. Can you do a tutorial on "How to stop your wife from wanting a shot" lol...

This is gold

Nice one m8 👍

Great video What settings are you got on DD1 podium? Can you share then pls

Hello Delboy, happy new year to u sir! Great video, an I totally agree, but I wanna ask if u hav ever tried to drive the pad wiv all settings off? I do most of the time an it ain’t easy!!

Thanks for the 45 degree tip.

Maybe this is underrated but helped me: Going through license tests and watching youtubers like yourself

Traction control depends on the car and specific circumstances. Generally 0 or 1 is best (typically I set 1 until I know the car/setup) and gives you optimal balance of speed and stability. Adding tc reduces tyre wear, you might want to do that of managing the tyres. Also low grip situations where you are caught in the wet and/ or tyres are shot. Agree with the other comments, except maybe driving line and braking area. Both helps you if you are unfamiliar with a track and just having a casual race but I also find the braking zone appears too early for best lap times.

I am just got myself the dd pro wheel and pedal set load cell pedel brake its all setup now two quick question please 1 thetheing the gas and brake 2 don't brake in corners Or any tips for me as a beginner racer please

Great tips - many thanks. Does the wheel & pedal set make a huge difference to times or flow??? I use a stock Logitech G93 with Trueforce...but the streamers I see all use high-end Fanatec etc... Could they be as fast as they are by using my set-up??? And by the same argument, could I (in a parallel universe!!!) get as fast as them with mine? Are any mods available/necessary?? I've always driven manual (even when I used to use a controller), & never use any assists....but always have to brake earlier than on tutorials...any advice much appreciated, cheers!!!

Yep, all reasonable stuff. One thing I never had an issue in Sport with is the 911 at Spa. I cannot stop that car spinning me around at La Source and the bus stop!

The biggest thing that helped me get faster was braking. 1st knowing how to brake. modulating the brake, and trail braking. 2nd knowing brake markers and hitting them every time.

Driving at the last time trial with the Mustang on Laguna Seca and with countersteering on as strong was much much easier to get the GOLD.. I was literally shocked was feeling like cheating... butwas struggling as a mad then with that assist on managed after few laps on my DDPRO.. anyone else could confirn ?

I know manual is quicker but I don't understand sometimes how acceleration coming out off a corner & top end speed seems too be faster then in manual

Good stuff as always buddy, the ABS is on I didn't think about, always assumed weak would be faster but will change that one. 45° also an interesting one as struggle at the hairpin at suzuka. Not sure i am too sold on the countersteer 🤣. Could be just me but I can find about 2tenths if I turn it on 🤷🏻‍♂️

Downshifting another gear for engine braking/slip for extra rotation in a corner then back up one to drive out the corner for traction, I feel most know about that one. But it's the little ones that add up, and 1 for me was downshifting slower. I used to hit my braking mark then bang down gears right away aggressively and bouncing off the rev limiter. Now I gain time by doing it smoothly. I guess I learnt that from ACC because you can't go too low a gear depending on your speed.

I have a confession to make. I went dirty earlier on. I got bashed off the track. I delivered karma two laps later. It felt good.

i STRONGLY suggest everyone use level 1 of TC you can adjust in race for large straights. even F1 and GT drivers use TC in life and sim racing. being able to be aggressive in and out of the bends. other than that he is dead on, rip off the bandage and go race

Great video as always. If your hoping to become an A or A+ driver in sport mode all the changes are a must, but if you are a casual gamer they may not be the best settings. I’ve been playing GT since the PS1, I bought the limited edition GT PS4, so I’d put myself towards the top of the casual gamers. I’m normally about 5 seconds away from the top times in time trials and I’ve been trying to work out how to get quicker, do I buy a wheel, do I change the setting? Either way it all comes back to how much time you invest in the game, the more you race, the more you understand the cars and the tracks, the better and quicker you get. On a PS1 when brakes and accelerators were either on or off and there was no slight turns, just left or right, the wheel probably made a bigger difference than it does on the PS5. The settings have always made a big difference to lap times, but if you are only competing with the AI, you can beat almost all of it with an automatic and TC1. It is only when trying to get gold on the licences and track experiences that you need to turn off TC and you only need a manual for the second fuel save licence test. I am still using automatic and I can tell when racing in sport mode it is costing me a few seconds a lap on some tracks, but when you are just learning circuits and spending a lot of time off the track, remembering which gear you should be in can cost you more time than you gain. Its possible to beat all the AI with an automatic, but to be competitive in sport mode you need to use manual. I’m struggling to switch after always using an automatic, so I’m racing the Sunday cup, ect, to learn the game again. Cars are definitely quicker if TC is off, but using an automatic with some cars means they spin out. Having TC on 1 stops the spin that would be stopped by changing gear. Facing forwards is quicker than spinning out. Most of the AI can be beaten, its only the gold medals where it needs to be switched off, but it sport mode it can be costly for those fast lap times. If I have to switch TC on, I can sometimes be competitive, but if my laps times look slow I don’t enter. My 35 top 5 out of 163 races probably has more to do with entering late night lobbies and racing with A and A+ drivers rather than being slow, to improve my stats I probably just need to race at a different time in the B lobbies where I should be. ABS, anti breaking system, when you press the brake hard, it rapidly reapplies them on and off to stop the wheels locking up, why would anyone want to switch it off? Does it have some advantage for drifting? Driving line assistance defiantly should be off, a lot of the time it can be in the wrong place and is of no help if you are attacking or defending a corner. Most tracks have tyre marks near corners that act as much better driving line markers and give you a better range of where you can be on the track. Breaking Area I find can be useful. Racing against the AI, when you are changing tracks and cars it helps not having to learn every braking point for every car and probably makes progress through the game quicker. In sport mode I still use it, but I don’t rely on it. There are corners where it tells you to brake early or late and there are plenty of places brakes are not needed at all and a few places it forgets to tell you to brake. But it does have an advantage in tyre wear races as it shows you that you need longer braking distances and in the rain. One race last week in the rain I broke really early for Mulsanne Bend, where the marker told me, it was only the cars going into the back of me and myself that made it round the corner everyone else ended up in the sand pit. Replace car, mine has been off for a while, it was useful to start with when I was trying to remember the tracks, but I found eventually it was resetting me back just I was about to rejoin much further on the track, useful for some novice and intermediate drivers, but needs to be off If you want to be a top split driver. ASM, does have some uses, mine is generally switched off, but if I am driving the Red Bull it goes on straight away. If I am struggling to tame a FR car, I normally switch it on before I switch TC up to 2, it sometimes works. Changing to manual will probably mean I need to use it less. My counter steering assistance is switched off, mainly because I couldn’t work out what it did. I switched it on for the BAC Mono event against the AI as I couldn’t get the car round the corner, but other times I have switched it on I cannot see how it helps. 45 degrees, a game changing tip, can I find it on a stick? Or is that where the wheel has the advantage?

in my opinion, since i am yet to buy a wheel, i would rather stick with auto transmission just because i have a controler

Traction control off for all cars, even those with ridiculous power?

Great information, you are very unselfish with your tools and tips.

I need to go fast let's goooooooo lol

It’s interesting the speed diff between manual and auto, if you put same car same tune side by side and launch them -the manual car is light years quicker - to me this isn’t right, the performance of the cars should be the same regardless of the transmission you drive with - the auto box in the game is the dumbest stupidest device you can imagine because the developer slows the cars down - I know it’s mute point but in the sports car world there is no case on planet earth where the manual car is quicker than the auto car but in GT7 they go out of their way to slow it down.

Well, this did not make me any faster AT ALL. Not even 0.00000001 sec faster per lap. Maybe the fact that I don't have a steering wheel......or a ps........or gt7 might have something to do with this 🤔 Awesome vid as always. Although I can hear primeu already joking that he didn't understand any hints you gave (in good banter style as always)

Is manual transmission recommended on gamepad?

Didn't hear you mention it, maybe you did. Spend the time racing with lower class cars to develop your driving skill.

😊👍🇨🇦

Adopted, deployed and much better 👍

Plm is I got no patience

You make 1.32.316 with a wheel, i make 1.32.650 with a controller, it's no a big difference.

What if is mustang lol

U are fast... But if we could change tow angles the gtr wouldnt even be close to the fastest car... Bop isnt a bad thing... But limit the hp and pp and give is freedom to change the sttings you talk about!!! Bop is gy7s downfall...

lol, You are wrong about TCS!!!

FFS Del open your bloody 18 tickets.......... You need the credits.... youve only got 12 mil LOL

Abs default..ty

Hey Delboy good luck with your times etc have a great day Sim-Driver-GT17 aka BeastlyMadnessGT17
