Mazda RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7 Nürburgring Flying Lap | 7:08.114 | GT7

Hey fellow GT7 racers! I just wanted to share some insights on why the Mazda RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7 is an absolute joy to drive, especially on the Nürburgring. That 7:08.114 lap time I posted? It wasn't just luck; it came from a lot of practice and understanding this incredible machine in Gran Turismo 7. First off, if you're looking to add this beauty to your garage, keep an eye on Brand Central or the Used Car Dealership in Gran Turismo 7. It's a fan-favorite for a reason, offering an amazing balance of power and handling once you get it tuned right. My Nürburgring setup for the Mazda RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7 in Gran Turismo 7 focuses heavily on stability and mid-corner speed, crucial for tackling the Nordschleife's endless turns. For suspension, I usually go for a slightly stiffer front and softer rear to help with turn-in, but not so much that it makes the rear unstable under acceleration. Camber settings are crucial – around 2.5-3.0 degrees front and 1.0-1.5 degrees rear typically works well for me on the 'Ring, providing excellent grip through those high-speed corners. Don't forget to adjust your toe settings for better steering response without sacrificing straight-line stability on the long straights. For the Limited-Slip Differential (LSD), I usually set initial torque higher for better traction out of slow corners, reducing wheelspin, but keep acceleration sensitivity moderate to avoid excessive understeer. Brake balance is another key area; I tend to shift it slightly to the rear (around 6:4 or 5:5) for better trail braking, but this is very personal and depends on your driving style. Maxing out the engine upgrades is a given for the Nürburgring, but focus equally on weight reduction and aerodynamic parts to keep it nimble and planted through the high-speed sections. A custom transmission setup, adjusting gear ratios for the long straights and specific corner sequences, can shave off precious seconds. Driving the 'Ring with the RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7 requires a smooth touch. This car loves to rotate, especially with its powerful rotary engine, so throttle control is paramount, particularly with those high-horsepower engine upgrades. Focus on carrying momentum through the corners. Don't be afraid to use the full width of the track, especially on corner exits, to straighten out your lines as much as possible. One mistake many make is being too aggressive on the throttle too early. Wait until you've passed the apex and are unwinding the wheel before really leaning on the accelerator. On sections like Flugplatz or the Karussell, understanding weight transfer is key. For the Karussell, aim for a consistent entry speed and let the banking guide you through. Practice, practice, practice! The Nürburgring is a beast, and mastering it with any car, let alone a tuned Mazda RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7, takes time. Use the track experience modes in Gran Turismo 7 to learn each section. My best lap wasn't achieved overnight; it was a culmination of countless hours refining my lines and understanding how this specific car behaves. I hope these tips help you shave some time off your laps in GT7. The RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7 is a legendary car, and experiencing it on the Nürburgring in Gran Turismo 7 is pure bliss. Happy racing, and maybe you'll beat my 7:08.114 soon!
