It's actually faster shifting at that point since the power curve dips quickly past 10,700 rpm. :D I always thought the VGT sucked 'til I realized shifting earlier did it best both in fuel economy and performance hahaha!

Just recently discovered your channel after getting PS5 and GT7 for Christmas (starting at age 52). I'm currently building out a budget cockpit with G29 and Playseat Challenge. It's basic but I'm loving it. Still getting to grips with GT7 (last GT I drove was GT5 on PS3). I'm really enjoying your commentary and quips about the track shenanigans during the race and the the little lessons on how to drive, fuel and tire strategy and so on. I'm learning a lot. Thanks for that and you have a new sub!

@phunkdoctaspock it's expensive, but in my opinion the extra money is felt immediately. The quality is exceptional and to use it, it's an absolute dream. Being able to swap between 5 profiles at the touch of a button is so so nice in GT7 when you are swapping cars so much. I have presets ranging from factory stock cars with light steering and brakes, up to manual steering race cars. Incredibly precise and smooth, with enough feedback to give your arms and shoulders a workout. It's glorious.

that camera view on the Suzuki is delightful! I wish other cars had that!

Fun fact: if you change gears at 10k rpm, this Suzuki becames a bullet, so fast in straights and not too unstable at the corner exit.

Its so fun watching you its insane your so chill but still entertaning😅

I always mindlessly play GT7 when I feel like it, but then get bored from not having too much fun. It's always when watching you videos that I want to go back to playing the game seriously, competitively, but also not taking it too seriously. You make me see that this game can be genuinely enjoyable and realistic if you put in the patience, time and dedication. I hope to get better though, for I always lose patience and go over the car's limits!

"Do you remember when Suzuki made the most OP car in the game? Pepperidge Farm remembers". The guys at the factory must have had some Escudo engines lying around and they just put it on the VGT.

I love the VGT a lot! I'm also signed up for Suzuki this season just to give it a try. The VGT sure handles weird compared to most FR Gr. 3 race cars but damn that top-end is super! I always thought the VGT sucked at first due to the poor fuel economy and dying power at the top 'til I realized it was actually great (even better than many Gr. 3 cars) when you shift optimally below the halfway point at the rev counter.

I like the way the “s” on the hood lights up as he’s going through the tunnels. Beautiful

It still cracks me up with the fact that Deep Forest Raceway is located in Switzerland In a country that banned motorsport after the 1955 Le Mans Disaster.

Hello Super GT! Today its my birthday, can you give me a hi? I have followed you since your fm6 days, I love your dry humor, thanks for the laughs all these years 😃

I think you will also find that a car with poor aero like the Suzuki (open top) will benefit more from the slipstream than a car with good aero.

I've stopped driving into walls, and now I'm completing menu missions. WHO KNEW?!?

I actually flinched when you got that second penalty. This is my favorite video of yours yet. A great car in a great race.

One of the best videos I have watched in ages! Thanks Steve.

Nice run, GT. Happy New Year from the USA.

Thank you so much for making this video, have an amazing day and I am looking foward to see you next time

Hey Steve hope you had a terrific Xmas and new year all the best chief 😎

This race was beautiful! A balm for my eyes, really enjoyed it. Thanks Steve!

Love your humour on this video, effin brilliant. Oh, the race was quite good as well 😁

Nice vid, omg this game has come along way since I played the first Gran Turismo. My favourite car was the FTO Limited Edition. Have they carried it onto GT7

This was an exciting one! I hope one day I get to be in one of your lobbies.

Cinderella story here at Augusta. Incredible finish. Starting fourteenth ending up P3. Absolutely amazing. Suzuki racing. Garage with big smiles ...

i have 2016 Suzuki swift with the mild hybrid setup. Its not the fastest in a straights line but it absolutely eats up a back road. Suzuki did a great job with the chassis.

Steve, regarding on staying with the Porsche or any other vs Suzuki(15:07)fuel mixture advantage/hp power, there are the other Key Factors in which you were doing...The draft/Slipstreaming.. like you said this can save some fuel, another.. quick shifting(no over rev)better powere band can save fuel also. Another idea? upgraded adjustable transmission if available and if race permitted. Ugh the ominous Penalty! For sure you would had gotten a better podium finish(1st place) but this was your first try driving the Suzuki. Anyways ... Great Video, Good Job Securing 3rd Podium Finish ! 🤟🤟 ps YESSS We will miss ..Ken Block..Rest In Peace !🙏🙏

What a sad day for motorsport fans. Thank You for the video ❤

10:47 “we are going to have to save some fuel and by extension the planet” legend 😂😂😂😂

Happy new Year Super gt

Good job. i was watching Wind do this race the other day and before the start of the race he puts it into lean mix 6 and the fuel goes up to 93 laps but came back to about 21 or so

3:30 I was thinking this while watching you go through qualifying.. It's similar to motorcycles, where using only about 3/4 of the rev range gets you the most efficient laps because it keeps you in the power band for longer. I had a suspicion that this car would want to act the same due to the manufacturer.. 😂

I love cars that love short-shifting, have to give this one a go...

Wonderful race and perfomance. Thanks Steve

I really enjoyed this. I know from their motorcycles, Suzuki makes great engines. This car even sounds like a bike. Very pleasant to hear. And great driving.

Back with another upload! Awesome, do you still stream too?

Very nice race. Perhaps this could be the start of a new series for Super GT where little known alternative cars are used in races?

Loved this upload so much fun to watch

Please more videos with this car!

SuperGT, there’s one thing you have to keep, never forget: your humour is great ❤

Brilliant driving as usual Mate

Happy New year 😁 Excellent progression through the field, had you been armed with the knowledge of the short shift prior to quali I feel certain that you would have been fighting for the win or actually winning, GG 👏 Like deployed 👍 😎🎙🏎✅️

I think people just use the meta car because they see everyone else doing it. Not because whatever car is meta at the moment is truly THAT much faster than all the other cars. People just lack imagination so they pick what everyone else is picking. I think on any given track you can usually make at least 3 cars work if you actually wanted to, people just follow the herd.

Awesome putting the Porsche into the wall! He was pushing both you guys to the right on the straight into the tunnel.

I've had my eye on this car. It reminded me of the concept car way back in gt3. That car was phenomenal. Don't remember the manufacturer but I think it was Suzuki and looked a lot like this one.

deep forest is marvellous. Cant wait for grand valley on future update

Deep Forest reverse is not just the better option, it's actually one of my favorite track layouts this game has. I don't know why but it is so much fun to drive really. It's like it was intended from the beginning to go that way instead. Very strange...

Hey Steve, I just got GT7, first foray into sim racing on console. I've been a wheel user for two years on PC, and I feel I'd be faster if I had a wheel on PS5 as well, But is it worth buying another wheel for GT7? Gran Turismo seems to have a very long lifespan if the last couple games are anything to go by. Thanks, love your content as usual, hope you had a good new years.

That was nice bro I haven’t tried any online racing yet, and I dont have any idea how much credits do you get from it. I guess I’m going to do it

That was a very entertaining race

Hey new racer to GT how are you dropping gears to 1 when preparing to turn?

Oh Steve your voice is pure calmness in my ears. 😍

Shifting at the horsepower peak of the engine is always optimal, as long as you don't drop below torque peak on the shift. If it does drop too low, the solution is changing ratio, either in the gearbox or differential. It seemed like you were shifting somewhere in between peak torque and peak horsepower. There might be some time to gain there by changing your shift points.

Super GT at his best. I just loved everything about this video.

4:22 move, never mind the overtake look at the amount of time you eat up on the pack ahead!! That's what blew my mind!

Cheers mate, I had a bad race, the game is broken I recieved a 3 sec penalty just for avoiding an accident but at least i'm in the miniature of the video 😂💪😃😃
