- Stop Taking GT7 (PSVR2) and Sim Racing so Seriously! In this video I discuss the importance of not taking sim racing so seriously for games like GT7, iRacing and other popular sim racing games you might play. We all know the stress level sim racing can cause, even though it's just a game. It can cause people to reach out and maybe not have the nicest things to say. In this sport of sim racing, we all make mistakes at every level so make sure you remember that before the next time you might go at someone. In this video, the gameplay is of GT7 at Brands Hatch in GT4 cars and of course racing in PSVR2.

Thank you, someone needed to say this.

Great advice. I also think to many people takes GT7 way to seriously, I get it’s a Sim but at the end of the day it’s just a game DR goes up DR goes down. If your playing this game thinking you need to get to DR A+ your setting yourself up to be aggravated, enjoy the race enjoy the competition but understand nobody here is a professional mistakes will happen. Great video CAS
Thanks! Yeah, we are so lucky to be able to do stuff like this in our home. People just need to enjoy the experience more than making it a stressful experience.
I agree. I think same way
Signed under. Even though I don’t play GT7 (I’m on Xbox, but I do keep up with GT7 and kept up with GT Sport back in the day) a lot of ppl need to hear this… in particular the IRacing folks lmao.
We’re here to have fun driving video game cars with one another, not to become the next Max Verstappen.
Hate to be that guy, but GT7 is not a sim, not even close to it either. It's a "sim-cade"
New to your channel. I'm 65 about to turn 66 years old. Bonified ManChild.
Owned a GT sim rig a few years back and sold it. G29 steering wheel and pedals....just seemed toy like. Plus my rating sucked on GT6....
This was on a PS4....my PS5 justed arrived. ACER 28" gaming monitor is on the way. Regarding sim racing I want to try again and spend little more money this time.
Fanatica appears to be in transition in midst of problems.
Going with the Thrustmaster GT2 and that new EVO 32 wheel. Tlcm pedals. I want a sparco shifter but can't find one for sale.
After I get everything dialed in buying a PSVR2....your videos convinced me.
What sim rig do you have? Thanks for your video...............................I will keep you posted on my progress....whoa hoa !!!!
Awesome. I'm sure you're going to have a great time! I don't even use a full rig. I just have a wheel and pedal stand with a T-GT II, open wheel and T-LCM pedal set. I was going to get a rig that folded up as I need to move my setup when I use it but just haven't purchased anything as of yet.
62 here got PSVR2 on launch with GT7. I race on it daily. I too use the TGT2 & TLCM also Th8 shifter
Omega prime lite is really good with the carbon seat. Solid product.
Gday. Im also retired and swapped my lawn bowles for a GT omega rig and a PSVR2, also with the buget G 27 (fine for now). Its the most incredible thing Ive seen since Space invaders turned colour, since we bought a colour tv in the 70s. Its incredible. Whats you ps sig, if your up tp friending another "senior"
These are great thoughts. It’s tough because I am 100% your mindset, and at the same time, good chill racers who have a platform on YT are saying “you shouldn’t be a D or C racer if you just do this” which turns out to be a demoralizing concept. I’ve even been told “ maybe you aren’t ready to race”.
I want to race to have fun. I don’t care that I’m DR D. I care that I am forced to race against those who are SR D. So if it takes me all week to practice a track so I place higher than 10th (Start in the top 5 is the other suggestion I always get) then the week is over. Stuck in DR D with literal children. Even though I’m SR S.
I haven’t raced in 3 weeks just because it feels pointless. As a D racer who cannot possibly get up to even C, it just isn’t relaxing or enjoyable.
Neither is racing offline against AI or trying to get gold on those ridiculously hard license tests.
So my reasoning for getting out of D or C is to avoid more of the drivers that are out there to just wreck people and not really there to race. That is why you want to get out of those lower lobbies. It's hard to enjoy racing if others drivers intentions are to just ruin other people's races. That is much different than racing in higher lobbies and mistakes being made. Mistakes will always happen no matter at what level. You'll always have have drivers dive bombing no matter what level. They are just better at it in higher lobbies. 😆 If you are struggling at D, you really just need to improve your race craft ans work on getting faster, consistent and better at defensive driving. Then use those same skills in a C lobby and always look to see how you can improve your speed with consistency.
Im not being an asshole, but if you cant get gold on the course your racing on you will struggle to get a B rating. Forget A. A drivers blitze those gold times, basically on every lap. Practice practice practice. I know. sounds like an asshole but its true.
@@hsss1 Not taken as an insult at all.
I do agree and I will be the first to tell you that I am not anywhere where I want to be.
I try my best to qualify high but here we are 2 days before it all resets and I haven’t raced once, because I can’t qualify high enough.
So, I am in D where I belong? Yes, fine. But then I’m forced to race against literal children. There’s nothing I can do about my synapses and reaction time. But I think it blows major chunks that I have to race against literal troublemakers just because I can’t get 1:26 on this week’s Race C. Know what I mean?
I just… don’t get to race. F’in blows.
Amen, a great reminder, we have all been guilty of over reacting. Great video.
Thanks
This.....I used to stew for hours over a simple pre/post race comment by another driver, now I realize its just frustration, a troll, or a mistake because I'm a super clean driver.....so I now dont care/read any of em. And yup, Ive apologised several times myself....accidents happen.
2 simple things could improve races drastically in lower ratings. 1) If you are clearly slower, let the faster driver to pass you and you can go faster too because you don't need to defend and you can use a slipstream 2) If you are close to a car in front of you and you are not sure about braking point, just brake slightly earlier.
Yup
First time to comment here, followed you for some time, thanks for the great VR video.
I could say taking sim racing seriously can also be fun, you could be serious on your track time, DR, SR, etc
But just don’t be so serious on what happened on the online track, things can happen like racing incident, dirty driver furious around.
I would just focus on self improvement rather spending time to blame others.
Worst thing I saw / I did was the revenge collision, but through time I learnt to enjoy and finish the race clearer no matter what happened
There are always enjoyable moments even someone taken you out. Say one race I got hit and drop to last position, it was satisfying to recover to P7 by going undercut. Or just enjoy the side by side fighting even on the 2nd last position.
For me, there are so many things to learn during sim racing, learn to be patient, learn when to let others go, learn when to fight, learn when to back off, learn to know that anything wrong might happen, learn to find way to enjoy the race even you are at the back of the field. It just like our real life.
Yeah, I agree. You can take it seriously in the sense of getting good and wanting to always improve and do better, but it shouldn't be taken seriously in the sense that people think their pro racers and getting all worked up when they have incidents on the track.
You are a Legend , so true what you said, from all sim racing on TH-cam you are my favourite , well done 👍
Ok man, thanks.
Awesome video brother, that is really some wise words. People definitely get bent out of shape over this for sure. I mean yeah, I take it seriously but it is what it is. I'm a very competitive person but at the end of the day, it's a hobby. I get my joy from going back and forth on the leaderboards with you!! I honestly barely have time to do daily races because I have a business, a wife and 2 kids and one of them just turned 1!! I don't have time to worry about a rating, I've had the game for a year and a half and I have 95 races on sport mode and never quit.
Happy birthday to the kiddo! 🎂
Awesome advice, should do a similar vid for iracing too.
These guys that need to be incessantly aggressive instead of waiting for real opportunities are annoying.
Let em slip past. Theyll come off. Youll lose a few seconds, but youll fly past them eventually, usually guaranteed.
Patience is key.
This is sound advice. I stopped having fun when my DR was EVERYTHING. I made a 2nd account to practice with and I have WAY more fun on it. And dont get me started in dudes in racing cloves and RACING BOOTS. I wouldn't be surprised if some wear helmets. I wear one shoe and one sock. I use the shoed foot for the accelerator (blisters) and the socked one for the brake lol.
Imagine how much different people would race if they hid your DR rating from you.
Now that would be very interesting. Or have a DR system that only gives you the score after a full week.
Just keep having fun and don’t mind the idiots
I was punted in all of my daily C races today and instead of quitting I went from P last to p4 and p6 to preserve my DR. I used my frustration to later hit a 1.25.7quali time (ive been trying all week to hit below 1.26.... in my angry state i finally did it). Quitting is the single worst thing to do for DR. I also congratulated one of my punters who ultimately won the first race and he surprisingly friend requested me and we are maintaining good communication. I could have said mean things and created an enemy but killing with kindness might be the best thing I did in the situation. I know I'll have another chance to race tomorrow and I'll have a better starting spot with the improved time. My advice is to look at the bright side so this game can remain fun. I was obviously faster than most of the field in the races today but I use this as a learning tool, I need to avoid crashing lol.
Ha, that's a great way to make friends I guess! Plus he won't punt you next time. 😄
This mindset is terrible. I take it seriously, it isn't just "a game" everything else I play, sure. But GT7 is competitive, rules need to be in place, r/simracingsetwards is popular because people DO care about proper racing. Some play just for fun, but don't tell me we aren't all going for the win. Otherwise we would be playing single player.
Wanting to win a race doesn't mean if you don't that it's the end of the world and if something doesn't go your way, take it out on others. It's a game. Move on and race again.
@@thecasualracinggamer Never "take out anger" on drivers, that's just childish. But definitely is not the place for people just to muck around, there are plenty of other games for that.
I had a race a few nights ago. For the most it was a clean race with the occasional bumping on turns. It happens, apprently one of the victims that was hit sent a group message to the entire race session swearing how ignorant and such bad drivers people were in the lobby and wanted to know who the driver was that hit him. Glad noone answered tbh cuz they would just be feeding the fires!!!! I get on and just focus on doing the best I can and most of all have fun because for me at the end it's just about that. I'm glad to see so many others with the same mindset and I pray it continues to spread. Keep the racing going errbody lets have some fun. I am looking for a group to join for some fun racing if anyone has suggestions, I race on GT7 PSVR2, ACC PC/PS5, and AC PC modded. I'm still learning but having fun all the time.
Yup, just need to ignore the ones with the tudes!
I dont even read the comments. Go to practice when they start or just dont look at them. Ive been abused for NOTHING by people I thought were friendly, and it ruins your vibe/night. Ignore the trolls. They are total strangers. Imagine they are all like FAT BASTARD from Austin Powers
Excellent advice in you’re 💯 right when it comes to play and enjoy sim racing when you have family and a busy live during the day. It’s just like that play for a couple hours and enjoy 😎
Are you still using the T-GT II?
Yes, I'm still using the T-GT II.
Let's see, I'm not going to give even a humble opinion as a player of Gran Turismo and other games, but especial
ly in Gran Turismo in the competition mode, people get frustrated because they believe that they can get to where the top drivers in the world are and it's more difficult. What they believe because they have been playing for years and half of the people we do not frustrate is not because of the license to climb, it is that people are not respectful on the track, they want to overtake out of stubbornness that there is space in that curve, the fault lies with the people but for me more the game for not being harsher with the people who don't let the rest of us on the track enjoy a clean race
It's really hard for a game to really take action against drivers in GT7, can you imagine how many people it would to review players complaints. 😄
Yes penalties need to apply. But can they really ban people from a game they bought? Smashing other drivers is sad but Its not against their TOS. I racing is a competition with prizes and is pay to play/subscription so its a different beast than banning you from a game you own. You never own I racing.
Solid advice 💯
🙏
Alot of just ramming off, dirty, ditry stuff, I love the game but just to much mean no good drivers, or something . Had a not so fun time last 2 weeks!!
well said mate, as you stated, this is suppose to be fun, after all its a game and games are designed to be enjoyed and to have fun. i use it to forget the stresses of work and about life for an hour or so.
Exactly, who needs more stress after a stressful day. Sim racing should be fun, win or lose.
I don't take it seriously. I just enjoy it.
Great advice!
🙏
Spot on! Another great video!
Thanks
Great! Kudos, for not playing his silly 🐱& 🐭 Game, That probably why he backed out because it annoyed him even more that you wasn't interested.
😁
I spent some money on iRacing as a new player there, then realised that I was doing time trials to pump my safety rating up. Then when the season end came, I didn't dare to actually drive and have fun, because the track limits are so punishing, it is impossible not to lose safety racing if you actually participate in a GT3 race with actual people in it. Not mentioning already being on 4x before the race, because the guy cannot drive the formation lap and crashes you not once, but 2 times.
I also immediately met people yelling at each other, revenge crashing you when you had nothing to do with their crash as they just pushed you off the road in a straight. Every race, people screaming at each other "are you serious" .... and you just kind of feel like not even wanting to be there.
There are some idiots in ACC too, but I must say that I see a lot less. Though it takes an effort there to open chat and type. I never cared to learn what the chat shortcut is though.
Aaaand .... that's why it is nice to find a club with a good ping and a map rotation, and just play there. Even chip into renting a server. Well, no local servers or clubs in Central America, so public servers it is.
Even though I probably spent $200 + on iRacing, I just don't feel like being stressed there about the stupid ratings and listening to people yell at each other.
I blame the system there though. If you make it to let's say C or B and can race certain things, then you buy content, then get demoted.... that's really frustrating ... If you drop below a certain SA in ACC, well, screw it, you cannot access some servers until you are back up. And not every single out of track is going to insta-ruin your rating. I was watching actual GT racing the other day and saw no one getting penalties on Sebring at a place where iRacing fines the crap out of everyone.
An other thing is contact detection. How in the hell do you get a penalty when someone hits you from the back in a formation lap... or just a straight where they decide not to brake ....
Anyway ... yes... 100% agree ... but a lot of the fighting is really over ratings that should not be so punitive .... just my 2c ... I am sure many people will say "just get good" ... which is fine too
So true. I think people who don't play iRacing don't realize how bad things can be there too. It's not just a GT7 thing. LoL
Read every bit. %100 agree. I procrastinate too after copping abuse. Kind of put off the whole thing. The context of this video is the answer. Stop looking at comments. Forget your DR for now and have fun. If someone slow, follow em for a while. Its great fun just following fast drivers close. If theres a nast punter, follow them until they come off. Losing 2 seconds is better than coming off the track. Load in fast goasts on time trial to see their lines.
I find this ironic. You are telling us not to take it too seriously and enjoy the race. I believe that is the mentality you need to improve. My girlfriend did not learn this lesson when we went karting. She was upset over other drivers not giving her enough space or allowing her to pass when they were given the blue flag. She would get so angry about it to the point that she kept talking shit even after the session was over. I asked her to calm down or she will never be in the right mindset to focus on her race craft. I then showed her how I would hang back to give other drivers enough space. I would then complete a decent lap to get myself on top of the leaderboards with my lap time. Then I would do an “out lap” to give the others drivers enough space again for me to start a fast lap without the risk of catching up. But did my girlfriend listen? No! She wanted for others to see in real time how much “faster” she was. I love her, but she is a bit toxic on the track. 😂
Hahaha
DR is the same as K/D in CoD. If you start to make it all about that, you wont enjoy playing it. Newsflash - no one else in the world cares about your rating.
DR rating is life! You ruin it, you're life will never be the same. 😄
100% if I bump into you, it is an accident, I want to race, and don't really care who wins. I'm going to drive to the best of my ability and want to compete with those who are doing the same. If you goof, it's just a game. But, I don't want you to crash, i want you there so we can compete.. and yes, I'm going to try to win but not by cheating, which isn't winning anyway, just cheating, and it means nothing.
👍
This....The best battles Ive had have been for 2nd last. Racing is racing
Yeah, racers do get a little too carried away with gaming. I love to win like anyone out there, but the (v.r.)experience of it is what I love. Even like the carnage ... it's awesome but IS, just a simulation. No injuries or death, just loads of fun. So..calm down people.
LOL. If we can't smile at the end of a sim racing session no matter what happens, are we really enjoying the experience? Just have fun, win or lose!
@@thecasualracinggamer Exactly. Good vids, buddy.
I ONLY race in VR. Its a different beast, and is more real life than ANY sim racer rig. Bilnd spots, using tiny mirrors, not seeing ahead in packs, its freaking intense. I honestly believe it requires more skill, nerve and racecraft, BY A MILE. Edit....and its way more fun. Just ask my 90 year old father.
@@hsss1 I'm 63. This tech. lets me live my boyhood racing dreams. Pretty cool!
That's not right mindset to get if you want to win and if you want that immerse feeling every time you want to play even for a couple hours.I need this in my life as I used to be a pro racing driver and now if it's the only way to feel that racing vibration in my body I take it seriously as much as it comes..and why not be on the top drivers a get some really good deals in the future with real driving experiences???
What does immersion have to do with overdoing the seriousness? Strap on a VR headset, race. You're immersed no matter how serious you think sim racing is and for most people, taking sim racing seriously won't get you deal to race real cars. Maybe if you are one of the elite drivers, yes. For most everyone else, no. So just enjoy the game. Don't take this the wrong way like I am saying do whatever you want on the track. Everyone should still follow racing etiquette to the best of their knowledge and ability but mistakes are always going to happen. You will get rammed and taken out, even in the highest of splits.
@@thecasualracinggamerTotaly agree with your comment i just want to point out that to be able to enjoy sim racing i have to see the possibility that i will be on the elite class and have at least the chance to sim race in a live elite event or if its possibly to even get a contract from a real racing team ! I don't want to think that this is not ppssible because then i could't drive in sim at all..
I only play for immersion and challenge. 90% of the time I don't know what position I'm in, what lap it is and if if I have enough fuel.... don't t care, just love the door to door battles , sound and intense ffb.
Well said
Thanks
Great advice !!!!
👍
Tell it to the streamers whos job it is.. The rest of us yes I agree
A streamers job should be focused on entertaining.

How do you conect meta 3 on ps5 whitout remote play
You cannot connect Quest 3 to a PS5.
What a 🤡 you met there.
That's why im currently just doing the weeklys and occasionally the time challenges.
LOL. Yeah, the problem when things like this happen, some people might just quite or they will start being so self conscience and worried about people attacking them they will just not drive near anyone or end up making more mistakes because of it.
@@thecasualracinggamer fully agree, but that’s one area where iracing really shines: Sure there are incidents but obvious wrecking and things like you experienced will get the person banned.
Not sure there will ever be a good solution in other sims
@@thomas1988de1 Theyll never ban people for crashing in GT7. Only for offensive names etc. Its a game, I racing is a legit competition. Different beasts.
@@hsss1 that's what I meant. Sorry if the wording was a little bit confusing.
Jeah I don't see Sony / PD going down this path.
I have to disagree with you. Most sim racers spend 1000s of bucks on sim racing and how can they not take it seriously
I adresssd this specific thing about money and also had said a person on controller can take it just as serious as someone who spent thousands. When I say take it seriously, I don't mean it in a way to not do your best, try your best, etc. I mean it in a way to understand everyone you are racing against. You should not be attacking people. Stressing out because you got virtually punted in a race. The best thing is, a punt into the wall doesn't cost you anything to repair. You can hop into the next race with a perfectly new car at no cost to repair and this time you might be the one punting on accident. Say sorry, and move on.
@@thecasualracinggamer for the casual sim racer it is all about enjoying it, have fun and enjoy it with your mates
let me fix this for you, "Stop Taking GT7 (PSVR2) and Simcade Racing so Seriously!"
Same opinion as u. My message got deleted 😅 be ware here you apparently cant havde different opinions 😅😅
This message is for any racing game you want to call simcade or true sim. iRacing mentality should be exactly the same.
@StonedChilDK I haven't deleted anything. Feel free to post your opinion again. If your comment has links or inappropriate language it will go straight to my spam comment folder and deleted. Otherwise, your comment should be here. I respect others opinions as we are all entitled to it.

@StonedChilDK Not sure what is so funny? I also just checked my spam folder and nothing there right now. So before accusing, maybe ask first. If you know my channel, I am all about open discussions. I just don't tolerate attacking and disrespect here.
GT7 is an arcade game at best
Yeah, I wish it was more realistic like Need for Speed or Mario Kart.
@@thecasualracinggamer They are arcade games too
Hahahahaha you were on the inside and he turned into you. That’s 100% on him hahahahahahaha
Yeah, after I watched the replay, I was like, maybe I didn't run too wide and he came down. I get that maybe he didn't see me there and thought he cleared me, but it's pretty obvious it was not an intentional wreck either way. Plus he was going to be slowing down to serve a 3 second penalty and wasn't going to be passing anyone anyway.
