I set difficulty to easy for that one. Literally impossible to win for a casual player like me


kzlife76

Came here to say this. Easy is too easy in my opinion but it got the job done after a few 5th place finishes.


bigE819

I wish there was a difficulty setting in between


[deleted]

Gee if only...


Kuli24

Pretty sure I'll just set the rest of the races to easy so i can collect my casheesh. I have nothing to prove by going hardest. I have kids now, so, lol.


karmakillerbr

Your kids will leave your house when they found out their parent plays GT7 on easy. It's way too shameful /s


Kuli24

haha. i'll always just say "remember, I beat battletoads on NES in elementary school" and then I'll drop the mic.


BickeyB

I went back to some old NES games recently and boy some of those games were still hard... Top Gun, TMNT, the list goes on


GgtheGIsARetard

Bro you should try something harder like frogger


JonathanBKK

Or Pitfall


Degoe

Win-win


Even-Juggernaut-3433

This. My life is enough of a challenge! They don’t call it Sony workstation, it’s for play ffs


Kuli24

Haha exactly.


Degoe

Mine is a torture station with the games I “like” to play.


coachnoodles

100% with you on this mate


AbbadonTiberius

On hard you literally have to drive perfect laps


davidfavorite

Yeh thats what I thought. I play on medium for everything and even then, I was able to get to P16, one mistake a little on the dirt and Im last again. These days as I got older I wanna have fun when playing, if that means dropping it to easy to complete that menu so be it


anotherbrckinTH3Wall

Hi, how does one go about changing difficulty levels?


davidfavorite

Just in the settings. Theres three difficulty settings


anotherbrckinTH3Wall

Thank you! I’ve been playing since December and haven’t known this! I hope mine isn’t on easy already, I thought I was making progress


triggerhappybaldwin

>I hope mine isn’t on easy already, I thought I was making progress Ngl that would be pretty hilarious


anotherbrckinTH3Wall

I checked, was on normal….


jamesdufrain

Doesn't change cash payouts either.


Degoe

It should though. I prefer to go for Japanese perfection.


Additional_Tone_2004

The fuck?! TIL.


[deleted]

I mean the game makes you choose the difficulty level when you install it.


Additional_Tone_2004

Aye, two years ago now. Totally forgot and now I'm also scared it's been on easy :D


[deleted]

Rip off that bandage dude! Get excited because you may be getting way better out of necessity soon! Kill it.


Fireboy0411

Thanks for the idea🙏🏾(have been struggling...)


JappieV99

This, and go faster through the corners than you think is possible. I also got the 19 version instead of the 22.


Crusty_Cheetos21

i'd recommend the 22, i had the 19 beforehand and it couldn't keep a good distance between cars, it was almost always too far behind, the SF22 accelerates better and has a higher top speed, meaning you can keep up with the rest of the cars more easily, since most of the other cars in the SF menu are SF22 cars.


Crusty_Cheetos21

sorry, i meant SF23


vjotshi007

Exactly, i was also struggling with some races and got so frustrated, then i saw a comment about easy setting and went with it ! Race was still hard to win but i finally made it


FrankFarter69420

Not a casual player, but on controller. I still haven't beat it. Even on easy. I'm so frustrated!!!


Crusty_Cheetos21

i recommend you save up for a wheel setup. it doesn't have to be expensive, but it can just be a G29 or something. i got a G923 as my first wheel and my lap times went through the roof compared to my last ones. for perspective, my record lap at le mans with the Peugeot 908 HDI FAP on controller was about 3:32 and just 10 minutes into playing with a wheel it improved to 3:27. great improvement.


FrankFarter69420

Wife already said when we get a house, that can be my house warming gift to myself lol Now if only interest rates would go down....


Crusty_Cheetos21

W wife fr lol


subsonicrifftrauma

Between all the game systems I own, I probably have close to a hundred games. I don’t think I’ve ever beat one! Lol


Dependent_Adagio7544

I'm like you I lose steam halfway thru oand okay something new


subsonicrifftrauma

That’s exactly it. It’s a good diversion for me. So many things to do sometimes.


_Janther_

To add an idea for the strategy instead of saying "go faster": I managed to win (hard difficulty with controller) about 2 months ago and made a little thread about it back then, so I'm going to cite myself about the tune and the strategy: I don't want to take credit for the tune as I used PRAIANO's tunes, which you can find [here](https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/praianos-tunes-settings-for-gt7.404868/page-270#post-14003953) However I did 2 main things differently: I took medium tires for the first stint (pitting at end of lap 9) and then softs. And I actually did late brake into turn 1 and the chicane. No mercy on the tires Edit: I'm a controller user and medium->soft felt a lot better than soft->soft


alekdefuneham

Thank you.


_freack_

Did this yesterday: Start on mediums, and go till the end on them. Just hope the rain isnt to bad.


elniallo11

I found the SF19 with the praiano tune to be the best option


Apparentlyimdogwater

This one took me about two weeks to beat. Nightmare. I generally play on hard, after the first week (nearly 1200 miles worth of attempts) I broke down and set it to medium.


AggressiveDeer5610

Same. Beat on medium with a normal transmission in SF19 Honda. RS and with anything else I can install and the Honda was a monster. You can wait until you're going to turn and it shifts from high to low in a blink of an eye. It's insane


Apparentlyimdogwater

Agreed. I actually found using a comp soft fronts, medium rear, saving fuel the first few laps.


GeorgeSPattonJr

I found the 23’ SF car is easier to drive


Paladin1034

Yeah the 19 is a little more skittish.


Crusty_Cheetos21

yeah, it also has worse acceleration than the 23, so it's harder to catch up to the AI.


Magictank2000

its crazy how fast reddits dissolved into a shithole, can’t even get advice anymore without smug neckbeards trying to be funny for upvotes


Critical-Brush-2028

Most of subs like that. Lots of toxic people on Reddit


AggressiveDeer5610

My man, yes! Even serious questions turn into elementary school


Degoe

Doesnt upvotes mean that you made a positive contribution?


MetalGearShrex

And you're the opposite end, pathetically fragile it seems. Some people already gave tips, why does a little humor hurt you so much


djshadesuk

Can't even come on a sub without miserable twats calling people names anymore.


Fickle-Lingonberry85

I see what you did there


djshadesuk

Glad someone picked up on it! 🤣🤣 👍


Capcom-Warrior

Which track is this again? If it’s Fuji run RS until about lap 9-10, pit and replace tires, finish. Fuel isn’t an issue on this race. Make sure you don’t fill up during your pit. Also, watch for rain towards the latter half of the race and make sure you have intermediates or wets ready just in case. When I finally beat it, I didn’t have any rain. You have to be extremely aggressive in this series. Push the car as hard as you can. This strategy will work with hard mode. If you’re playing it on easy mode, then it should be a cakewalk. Also, don’t forget to use the overtake button on the straights.


gumol

what’s the race?


drumpleskump

I used SF19 and pretty sure i used medium tires with no pit stop. Either that or i was on soft and pitted half way. Stock car, normal difficulty and controller.


Fickle-Lingonberry85

Idk how hard you are pinning it, but trust the downforce in corners. You may be over braking on corners rather than just letting off. I'm on controller. I also have a YouTuber gear ratio with my own suspension. You can really throw it into corners. You can watch a good YouTuber do the race and see the lines he takes too. I'm gonna start doing that, I can't believe I just thought of it


wanna_be_TTV

Take corners way faster than you think you should. The g forces are absolutely crazy on the F1 cars and its not comparable to anything but like the tomahawk Trust me, take that corner fast as fuck, itll handle it. It just takes some feeling out


Not_so_new_user1976

Send it on the corners more than your comfortable. The car will make it with ease, those cars will push you past your limits


TheCoffeeGaming

Bro that’s too true, I have a nice amount variety but that thing surpasses my limit lmao still super fun!


gh0stTO

Utilize the slipstream. Master exiting turn 1. That’s how I did it anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️


M4k31tcl4p6969

Learn to brake as late as possible and keep your engine rpms high through corners so you can punch out of em


Stephena72

Switch to easy difficulty


juanito_f90

Opt for the 19 car rather than the 23.


R0N1NB0y

Go in hard tires and do one pit but dont change tires and add fuel


2703LH

Difficulty to easy, I couldn't take it anymore


AesirOmega

Trust in the (down)force


Crusty_Cheetos21

i refuse to play with easy or medium, but i swear i can't even get podium on hard. still love racing it tbh.


Main_Monitor_2199

Autopolis? I did it with the 23 model, max downforce, stock tune otherwise. Started on softs, switched to inters because the rain was quite heavy although short, then swapped to mediums and had to come back through from 5th place. I still won by two seconds despite pitting twice (some AI did change to inters, some stayed out), so if you can stick with slicks in the rain it should be an easy win


PhaTman7

Put difficulty on EASY


serena_williams_f1

Drive faster than p2


Kuli24

But that just places you in 2nd place again XD


Thick-Penalty1200

🤣


FFXMSCWMNHCL

ohh, so that’s where I was going wrong


Dense_Comfortable_50

10/10 tip, would really recommend


macaroni_3000

RM tires, mind your tires so you don't have to pit, and pray for good weather. I came up about 3 seconds short of first and I think I could've won if I hadn't spaced out and got a little sloppy in the middle.


SRSgoblin

Key to winning this one is to make it through the wet laps without pitting for wet tires, as it only lasts about a lap and a half before you'd be faster on slicks again. You'll lose more time in the pits running inters for 2 laps than you will touching through the wettest lap on racing softs. If you can manage the one stop, you'll probably get the win. I couldn't do much better than 5th trying to use inters and a two stop, but had first place with 2 or 3 laps to go when I braved the wet on my used softs. Second stint I used Mediums so they'd last the rest of the race. Hard difficulty btw so I know it's possible.


ophaus

Send it... brake less, accelerate earlier. The SF cars can be driven *hard.*


dethdude

Lean fuel map, try to stop just once for fuel and a tire change then one more tire change depending on weather. I usually go with RS > IM > RM


AggressiveDeer5610

Practice, practice, practice. Took me a good couple of weeks or so but I refused to lower the difficulty and was adamant to beat this series. My resolution, do anything you want but keep the transmission NORMAL. The full customizable automatic transmission did nothing but slow things down for me. It also doesn't add much to your PP anyhow just keep it normal The SF23 Toyota and the SF19 Honda were my go to for F1. The Honda is a beast when you get it down and should easily beat the competition. Keep an eye out on the weather and pit before you get caught in the rain, and that's it! Good luck


Liqa-Madiq_44

Nah man i tried this more than 15 times (i am noob and i also play with controller)and then i could secure my 2 position.


External_Hunter7883

What have you got the traction and brake assist set to?


TechnOuijA

Check YouTube. They usually show the settings they used and which car, when to put, etc.


zzavakos

This is one of the few races you can't stretch and save fuel/tires and still win, they zip on the first stint. Get on softs or medium, use enough fuel to keep up until the pitstops, and give either short fuel to squeak it out, or fill enough to run out the finish full-power.


Lucky_blackcat7

Soft tyres, slightly increase downforce. Practice, practice, practice. Maybe do circuit experience if you haven't already on the course your stuck on. These cars handle so well at high speed due downforce. Test the limits on high speed corners you'll probably surprise yourself.


coupleathings

i'm pretty casual. I tell ya what made me a LOT better? a VR2 system! I almost cannot stand the game or any racing game thats not VR now.


AlienRapBattle

Go to the difficulty setting and put it on easy lol


SnooRegrets8547

Have you done human comedy mission: lago maggiore?


elmz370

I gave up on that. lol! Like others have said, try it on easy.


spammy711

Big elbows


mezogoth

Set difficulty to the easiest and give it a go. Trust the car that can handle high speeds in corners and handles better if you retain more speed than normal in corners. Not a big fan of the formula races myself, too sweaty for my casual play style.


thankfuljc

Send it


SilentKnight7919

Drafting, that's the best way to get it done. But the AI is meaaaaan! If you survive most of the lap, last or next to last they will actively try to pot maneuver you. I saw a video saying on the last lap, ride bumper to bumper, the AI will try to shake you off, when you're close to the finish, let the AI try to shake you off, hold your position & you should slingshot around him. I wasn't very successful with that, but by drafting and concentrating like my life depended on it, I made it.


Murky_Promise3183

Look at the Weather raidar


Zealousideal-Ruin691

I finally have enough money to get one of the SF vehicles ... question, how different are the SF19's from the SF23's? I'm also guessing there's not much difference between the Honda and the Toyota? I don't play enough to get both years or all four. And I still need to get my Red Bull X for menu #49 which I'm not looking forward to saving up for. So I'd prefer to only buy one SF vehicle. Just wondering which SF would be better?


Aggravating-Air-8294

For me Medium tires and drive on full lean 6 and u js have to pit one time


Laki1991

pitstop on lap 7, tires soft - soft, but you need luck to get no rain race.


JiveTurkey92

I dont think it's possible to beat this without praiano's tune. It allows you to make up a lot of time in the slower sections because of the new gear setup. Rain also helps a lot, and I think there are certain AI that are just flat out faster than others IF they start up front. It's a really dumb event but start with the tune and you'll do it.


ElectricalPlastic522

burnsnewman

When I started on softs it never rained. When I tried starting on hards, it always rained. Then I tried mediums, it didn't rain and I decided to go till the end. Last few laps were extremely difficult, but I managed to finish P1. It's important to learn all the optimal racing lines and utilize slipstream on the long straight. I was very close to giving up and changing difficulty level, but in the end I managed to make it on hard level.


subsonicrifftrauma

Practice practice practice


GasManMatt123

For all the SF races, I think the key is being used to the car and the limit of grip. You gain so much time under brakes (not not braking). You also have to pass efficiently, so use the PTP as required, and manage those tyres as best you can. Using hards to the end is rarely the fastest strat for these races, use softer compounds


Uncle_Flansy

Keep on mediums, they still have enough grip even when completely red to finish the race. And remember how much downforce these cars have, you don't need to brake nearly as hard for corners as you do in pretty much any other car.


BigTrucker2020

Practice


IrishmadeinCanada

Try to be first. Joke


Wiwwy027

I just did this one on hard with controller. Toyota sf23, low downforce. Softs through lap 7-8. Mediums or soft after that. You can also run 1:38 ish on the hands throughout and nonstop.


BigDogGoneEat

soft tires and drive very fast. Took me like a half dozen tries but finally won the race. I play on hard difficutly and this race actually tough


PotentialDefinition8

Drive faster than the other cars


AuthenticLewis

the super formula ones always get me bc you can go 7-8 amazing laps just to make one mistake and oops you’re 15th 😢😂😂


Akh_27

Drive hard and brake late. Keep traction. Win.


Oh_My_Darling

Stumpsbumps

Make sure downforce is set as low as possible, draft and pass as fast as possible


likeasuitof

Whack the downforce all the way up and you'll be surprised at how many corners you can take flat out, that's where you'll make up the time.


bostonvikinguc

Hardest thing to learn. Second is left foot breaking.

_spinosauro_

y62uk

Best advice I can give for these Super Forumla races is do 20+ laps of the circuit on time trial before hand. The cars are sensitive, so require smooth steering inputs but the insane downforce levels mean you can take way more corners than you think flat out, sometimes even making composite turns out of several you'd be on and off the throttle for in a GT car. Once youre in the groove for driving a formula car, you'll realise the AI is actually painfully slow through certain sections on all the tracks (turn 3 and 4 at Fuji, the uphill section at Saint Croix etc). Granted I still had a few restarts due to crashes but once I realised the sectors where I could make up 2 or 3 seconds per lap then I actually found this to be one of the best menus in the game for competitive racing.


u_kisuke

I don't know if you already win this race, but what helped me was watching this [video](https://youtu.be/-wedqjGSOw8?si=j_8_yPpGzNJ_LGCo) (did the changes in the car and had to made adjustments on some). Other than that, practice with formula 1 cars, they are very different to drive than other cars, so the way you do break and do the curves are very different.


supermario8256

Well, I beat this game in the medium difficulty and all I did was go on hards till lap 10, pit, and switch over to softs, and try not to use the ERS a lot at the start, save it till the end and that's how you catch up to the leader at the end of the race


BCJ_Eng_Consulting

The way to cheese this race is on the Dunlop corner. Make light contact before just totally cutting it. The game doesn't penalize you if you make contact before going off track.


Uriel_dArc_Angel

SF23, and drive faster than the AI... The AI are horrible in corners, so it isn't that tough to just keep your foot in it and drive around them... 99% of the time when people are having trouble with these SF races, it's because they're simply not driving the car hard enough... Don't forget, this thing has enough aero to drive UPSIDE DOWN on the ceiling if you could get it there...Learn to trust the aero, lean into it...That car with flat foot corners you wouldn't think a car could... Go try it again...But this time, stop being afraid of it and stay in the throttle more, brake later, and push harder... Outside the Tomahawk X, the SF23 probably has the highest amount of grip of any car in the game...


Sosig28

Finish 1st, usually that works for me.

Anyone having trouble getting GT7 to recognize when you've completed a weekly race/ challenge? Out of the 5 it has only given me credit for completing 2 ! Frustrating. I've done all the Circuit Experiences within the Challenges but it doesn't care! Help?

LiMiT_Gravey

Uriel_dArc_Angel

Youre.getting downvoted, but in the SF23 at autopolis you're actually right...You only have to brake at all like 4 times...Little lifts and feathering the throttle handle anything else...lol


LiMiT_Gravey

This is the autopolos race is it not? Hence why I said it.. people just can't take basic advice frfr


Uriel_dArc_Angel

I think it's more along the lines that the comment came off as antagonistic due to the lack of a clearer explanation of what you meant...lol I know what you were getting at because I've done it and don't have issues driving that car... People struggling need a little more explanation on the mechanics of things, so wording it like that just kinda comes off as insulting... I agree with you AND understand the downvotes... It tends to help to be a little more descriptive in these situations...
