I refuse to believe any with a DS4 is driving GR.3 without TC. Its too sensitive.
What was the cause of you suddenly getting bumped down to 12th at the end of the Maggiore race? Is that because of penalties or something? I'm surprised at your
racing level that there were such jackasses in your race. Nice job on the racing though. I need to work on those turns before the final straight, I'm always over-cautious there. Those Beetles seem like maybe they need to be toned down a bit, they seem like Gr.3 go-karts.
I've never seen something like that kart glitch, but it makes me wonder if it was an exploit...maybe the same kind of exploit that has people recording 5 second lap times on the circuit challenges.
Also watching your race, I realized that the front cam has an advantage with the shadows denoting people around you. You don't get that in cockpit view so it's hard to know where people are, especially because the radar is off to the side.
I feel comforted that I'm surrounded by people that actually consider terms like "banker lap" as part of their strategy. Aah. Semi-related, but I'm always moderately frustrated that people in the B DR range seem entirely unable to gap themselves for flying laps. There's going to be time for 2 flyers regardless so there's no need to race the outlap. Also, if the laps are <2min, you can reset your track position entirely by going to the pause menu and returning to the pits and then doing a new outlap. It's effectively an exploit that breaks the relative realism of the qualifying session and should probably be removed.
So it was network issues causing the positions to get screwed up - you can see this starting when I pass the 2 beetles (they both go straight on for a short period of time then reappear in front of me) and the four cars parked to the right of the start finish straight. As for the jackasses it very much seems to depend on the luck of the draw - I got good clean racing from many of the guys on there, just that guy in the Aston and those 2 in the Beetles spoilt things. And again if I'd qualified better I wouldn't be tangling with those guys.
The karting glitch I have no idea - I can't really see it as being a deliberate thing as the person didn't seem that driven to stay in front. To me I think it's a PD problem which is part of the reason why I posted it, so these things get spotted and fixed.
I used to do the restart thing in Driveclub Time Trial mode but never tried it in this, I usually try to get out first and if I end up in a pack I find somewhere out of the way for people to pass. The risk is always that someone will have a crash in front of you when you do go for a hot lap and cause a jam. I usually do much better in this live qualifying compared to the standard sport mode, so much so I really struggle going back to sport.
Any UK peeps after a wheel, the G29+shifter is available @ Pc World for £153.99 using GAMINGACCESSORIES30 @ checkout...https://t.co/x2h7hX4ub9
T150 pro is there too for £169 with the same code.
T150 pro is there too for £169 with the same code.
Are the internals of the G29 the same as the G27? There's no point upgrading right?
Also, is that T150 considered a step-up from the G27 do you know?
Question for those that have VR, do you need the camera for this as well, or just the headset?
Got my first victory in GTS today. It was basically my first race in the game. I had done another a few weeks back (and won) but the game disconnected in the end and it didn't count. Now that I'm done with "Campaign" the only thing to do is online races. I enjoy online races very much but I don't wanna race if I don't have time to practice and get consistent times. I'll try to race more from now on.
I'd say yes, especially that the 150 Pro comes with the T3PA pedal set that has the conical brake mod.
All VR content requires the camera. Only cinema mode doesn't require it.
Damn yo, those Fanatec Clubsport v3 inverted pedals look tempting as fuck at 40% off. Is that overkill for this game?
Why is it always bloody Beetle drivers that do this??
On the second video if you watch when I pass him the second time he seems to suddenly slow down a bit but his brake lights don't come on - I wonder if he just gave the handbrake a tap to make me go into the back of him. Anyway feeling pretty hacked off really, only got the chance to do one race tonight as there's no 10pm race any more and all the places I lose are after being rear ended into a barrier.
The championship looks less popular this season, don't know if it's ditching the 10pm race or fatigue from 3 weeks on the trot but my friends list table isn't worth posting at the moment there's so few people taking part.

Been using the normal V3's for about 10 months now and absolutely love em!
Remember though, you'll only get them to work on a thrustmaster wheel with a Basherboard CPX adapter. (assuming you have a tm wheel ofc)
I've not taken part this week. I liked the structure of the events and enjoyed it when I had something to prepare for then see how well could do. But when they started up again the day after the first event season finished with nothing to acknowledge the event it just felt a bit pointless and nothing more than an extra daily race you could only do once. I was hoping it would feel more like one-off events to be honest and I wasn't that big a fan of all the daily races switching to only being up for a day.
Before I saw the whole structure I was hoping there would be multiple types of events in slightly different formats like so:
A monthly tournament: Basically the same as this test season but takes place during a set week each month,
A long-term tournament: All the basic track layouts, the race is announced on the Monday and people can do live practice until the weekend where they can choose a time on the Friday, Saturday or Sunday to compete.
Special events: Announced well in advanced but with unique features such as endurance with full tyre wear and damage to bring together a potentially smaller part of the player base.
I was also hoping that the events would feel more focused, the nations cup and manufacturer cup could really use the same data and don't feel distinct enough. But the worst thing is a lack of acknowledgment killed it for me, I think it would have been great to highlight who won and give rewards for taking part and potentially other statistics like cleanest racers, most overtakes, most pole positions and other things. The lack of explaining anything about the point system was also annoying, as playing the points game is usually a big part of sports that use them especially if you're not good enough to be at the top. This is where reward brackets could also have come into play, the best would be those that finish in the top ten, then from there broken down into smaller reward brackets based on points gained.
Have there been any updates on GTS sales? It's seeing massive discounts in my country (Australia) this week from AUD$99.95 ---> AUD$29.
All we know is that it got off to a strong start but don't know anything beyond that.
I suspect second month sales have been below unit targets (or look unlikely to reach whatever targets they have set before the end of the year) so they have put it on sale everywhere to be able to have a chance to at least hit revenue targets.
Either that or there are player retention issues so they need to have a way to keep bringing new players in which is critical for a game with an online focus like this. Basically the more players that own the game the more chance people will return when they add more content.
i'm fairly certain this is the case. a few pages back i posted about getting a trophy for racing for more than 24 hours. that's not really all that much considering i bought it on launch day.
the trophy showed up as "very rare."
we're the last men and women still playing gt.
I just looked and it says "very rare" but 9.7% of all players have now acquired that trophy.
That's not actually too bad a ratio IMO considering how long the game has been out.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets worried when they see a beetle behind them.
The vast majority of people who drive the beetle don't know how to fucking drive.
It's also true on the roads in real life as well.

Yep, 2 races a night doesn't sound too bad but when you have warmup and qualifying and a 20-25 minute race then the best part of an hour is gone for each one. I like to have the 15 minutes registration to practice too, my best results have always come when I've had the time to really get confident in how hard I can push during a race (and not been taken out!)... Which all means that it's quite a time commitment 6 nights a week when I have a family too. I would've appreciated a break between seasons.
Yep I agree with you on all these points - I thought the nations cup would've been more different to the manufacturers and longer term events sound like a great idea. The points system seems really messed up at the moment as there's fewer people playing (or maybe I'm just unlucky) but I'm getting races where there are only a handful of people the same rank as me so even if I win I don't score much. I saw a notification thing saying who first, second and third were in the nations and manufacturers competitions and that a full event summary would be in the live review(?) section of the sport tab - when I looked in there they all seemed to be events run in 2016... So yeah, these are just test seasons at the moment so I hope they do learn how to improve things and implement some changes for the future.
LOL
Yup! I think part of it is that the Beetle handles well so is quick in the corners but not actually faster on a straight than most other cars. I could keep slipstreaming past the Beetles if I got a good launch out of the corner in my Nismo, whilst they often could only pull alongside and stay there - that means they're more likely to try a dive up the inside on the brakes however as thats when they're all over you. But also as GHG says, when a car is known to be the quickest then people will gravitate towards it even if they aren't that great at driving.
I was involved in my first road rage incident the other night with, of course, a Beetle driver. At nurb GT they tried an insanely dangerous overtake by cutting the corner that would have got them black flagged in real life, on the next corner I had the inside and nudged them as I was defending my line (of course they turned into me). They spent the next three laps intentionally ramming into the back of me on slow corners to try and spin me off. I just tried ignoring them but eventually they managed to make me spin off about as far off the track as you can get, took me like 30 seconds to get back on to the track.
My race had been fucked but the crash had taken me completely out of traffic so I just started hot-lapping. By the end of the race I was closing in on a pack of Beetles and figured one of them might be Mr. Angry. Imagine my surprise as I came round the final corner onto the straight to see a Beetle crawling along, it was the twat. Once they saw me they accelerated and finished infront of me, but they still had a 3 second penalty that put them behind me in the final standings. Fucking hilarious irony, he'd accrued such a massive penalty ramming me that he couldn't scrub it all off in time by practically stopping before the finishing line :D

It's pretty clear that the player pool in S SR rank isn't big enough. Just did the sport race at Suzuka and was matched with players all the way from D DR all the way up to S. I qualified in 10th and finished 9th beating the only other guy that was B DR. No chance of catching the A DR guys that were ahead. I finished 8 seconds off their pace in the end.
This is being sold for 50€ here in Italy...and yet i'm still not sure if i should buy the game or not :/
Check out the website. Community features and decal uploader are online for me

Supposedly online for all now.
I get nothing but a server error message when I try to upload a decal though.
Holy shit they're adding a campaign mode next month!
https://blog.us.playstation.com/201...tes-add-new-cars-offline-play-gt-league-more/
Launching as part of our free December update, we'll be introducing a brand new single player mode called "GT League". Based on the old "GT mode" of previous titles, players can now look forward to racing through a series of cup competitions from beginner to pro levels, and and even partake in endurance races!

Nice, thanks for posting.
Campaign mode coming in December!
And free cars!
Really glad they kept a high graphical consistency across all cars and tracks too.
Lmao my thoughts exactly.
I'll stick to sport mode where it actually feels fairer at high SR rankings compared to racing against AI where the "boost" setting is set to maximum.
However, it must be said that the AI in this game is pretty damn good if you set up a custom race with the rubberbanding turned off.
I'm excited for the changes, even if I'll probably end just tasting the gt mode, like always. It will feel more like home with it no doubt.
And looking forward to the RX-7, the R32 and the F40. I hope they'll do some Sport variation of these.
edit: and now I can browse the gallery from work. I'm screwed.
