GT7 Group 3 Relay Race (Fan made 4x4 relay)
96 countries, 4 cars in each team; who has the fastest Group 3 cars!?
...And 1 Group 4 car since Italy only has 3 group 3 cars...typical of Polyphony to let Italy down in the race cars department.
You're probably thinking this is a weird thing to do, but I'm a track runner, mostly a 400m and 800m runner, so I've run my fair share of 4x400m relays, and one thing I did as a kid was make my own relays in GT4 before I started running them. Then when I had some experience I go a LOT more professional, timing my races, logging each cars lap, and the overall time. Ugh, when Gran Turismo was a simpler time...but now that the lacklustre updates aren't providing me with satisfying race content, I gotta make my own fun!
The 6 countries I have used are the USA, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the UK. All but Italy have at least 4 Gr3 cars, for Italy's 4th car I used the Alfa Touring car from GT4 that returned in GT7, as it's decently quick for a Gr4 car.
All cars are fully powered up, probably would have been better if I hadn't have powered them up so the Alfa Gr4 would have been in a more even playing field but...it's more exciting this way! All cars also have Racing Soft tires because I don't want to suffer.
The first leg starts with a standing start, positioned as if they are in lanes. When the cars are coming into change over, I cease acceleration at the pit lane and the new car starts from a rolling start at 100mph, roughly. The final leg car is the only car that fully accelerates to the line.
Positions are shown as the cars cross the line, and that position is the position they are in at the line, there's no changing positions are the race goes on. But if this video does well and you'd like to see more, I can add that live position change in!
My driving is NOT the best, I am a casual player who plays with a controller and the D-pad for steering. This video was made PURELY for fun, it's not an accurate scientific experiment. Some of my laps aren't great, some are. I tried to be as consistent as possible.
This is also the first time I have 6 different screens playing at the same time, so it's a bit of trial and error for me. So I apologies if the professionalism in this video is lacking a little. I did my best!
But anyways, I hope you enjoy the video! :D
