None, same line throughout the entire race. I would have clinched second place but I got punted HARD as I passed second place on the second to last corner. Dude just straight up hit the gas mid way through the braking zone and launched me. Is this just a thing with Brazilian players or what.

It's also Spanish, French, Italian and Greek players who tend to do shit like this on the EU side of the pond. And the Beetle tends to be their car of choice in the GR3 category. If there's anyone here from those countries then I'm genuinely sorry, but your fellow countrymen are letting you down online.

Speaking of which, when are they going to nerf this Beetle? It's not even like these guys are running away with races in this thing, they are just ruining races for everyone else by qualifying ahead of drivers that are better than them with one off laps that they are incapable of replicating in race. Then genuinely faster drivers than them are stuck behind them while they are sliding all over the track and driving overly aggressively. They also carry way too much speed into corners and will just bash you out of the way to pass.

That's all in B/B by the way so I don't know if it's different in other categories but the car is clearly too much for a lot of these guys to handle.

Most of the time they hit me and throw me away out of track, they are Germans.
I'm not racist and frankly I don't care, but Germans are the worst. They need a section in GT only for them. It's a Schumacher VS Hill/ Villeneue/ Hakkinen/etc all the time.
My German friends say the same about French, Spanish and polska guys. I don't think this is true at all. There are idiots from every country, as there are very fair ones too.

I can't do this got race tonite. I started qualyfing with it an hour ago and all I've been doing is goofing off with the car. The only lines I know so far are all sideways and fucked up. I shouldn't subject humans to this in a sport race. Got to call it for the nite without a race. Vgt was too much fun for me.

Edit; oh it was enough to complete the daily workout tho. I got an f type gr.3.

This game is already half the price not even a month after release. I think it's save to assume that GTS "bombed" for GT standards. I think I don't understand why people love the old caRPG formula so much. Looking back, it was soooo boring compared to racing against real human beings.

Maybe they should have expected it and built a bigger campaign to wean people over. They've had like 4 years.

I'm already bored of Forza though and looking to buy a ps4 pro this holiday, so any sale price is nice.

It's true. The gt mode is essentially a bunch of glorified menus that string together custom races and unlock adjustments thru a tuning shop. Maybe a little map to tie it together. They could have put it in. Even could have been better than ever if it had been styled to specifically compliment the competitive focus.

If I had to choose one or the other, I'd stick with what we have now. But it could have had both and would have been more game to more people.

Here's the latest scores for our little Era competition, in the Nation's cup AnythingBut / OldGit is running away with it but with a couple of good results JJShadow could be right back in it, he just needs to not get disconnected or taken out!
PS_Messages_20171115_065322.jpg

I'm having a great run in the Manufacturers competition with another 2nd place last night but AnythingBut isn't far behind...

So if anyone else wants to join in just send me a friend request and you'll appear on the table :-)

I had my best race on the game so far last night, qualifying down in 8th on Willow Springs I thought I'd struggle for pace but somehow I found that bit extra speed to move up - it also helps that Willow really punishes mistakes if you get it wrong in a bad place, keeping it on the track is no.1 priority! So I went from 8th to 4th, get rear ended off the track and drop to 9th but climb back up to 2nd and have a great battle with the leader only to make a mistake and run out of laps to challenge again. The winner and I sent each other messages after congratulating each other on a great race :-)


Blue moon on the other hand was bumper cars, just full of side slams as people change lane into you or dive up the inside and push you wide - and this is SR S. I was running 15th at one point but finished tenth and was glad to escape with my SR intact.

Then just switch to GT6 mode after you enter the Konami code, with no options? :-D
It would require a little too much effort for PD and probably end up being full of bugs :D
I wouldn't mind the tracks though, maybe relegated to arcade/lobby, but I wouldn't want that even, if it would be used as an excuse to not modernize them.

Man my first race at Willow Springs was fun, but the last wide curve sure is dangerous lol. I flew away from there at the first lap to avoid an accident, lost 20 seconds and from there I continued alone, passing the occasional fellow sufferer along the way. Ended the race in 16th, just in time to cut the finish line.

The more I keep using her, the more I love the NSX. She almost never locks the brakes with weak ABS slamming them hard.

No GR3 in the daily today.

2 fixed car races and then a 10 lap GR4 race at Interlagos.

The GR4 race is back up to 20 cars though so that's definitely positive.

There's some dude in the US races (username iGashole or something) exploiting the track to win every race on the BB Raceway daily Sports race.

Doesn't slow down for the first corner, scrapes the barrier and keeps on trucking, to seemingly no penalty. Wins each race comfortably.

No point entering at the moment as he's been in every race I've been matched to.

I remember this being an issue in Driveclub, people were able to use the barriers to scoop them round corners so they didn't have to slow down. I remember Evo never truly got a hold on fixing it everywhere. Hope PD do.

I just encountered a guy who would brake ever so slightly if anyone was behind him and then start accelerating as soon as the person behind was about to hit him. Speed boost galore. He finished 3rd, no penalty.

People are starting to find exploits in this system...

Thank you for legitimately answering my questions. That's something I wouldn't mind learning... how is the community?
The community can be great. Look for lobbies which indicate clean racing and join. Have a clean, competitive race and you'll get showered with friend requests. Do that a few times and you may never need to go looking again, just click 'show friends rooms only". This was the bread and butter in GT5&6 and the racing was fucking incredible. Close and so clean it would make S ranked lobbies look a child's birthday party at the bumper cars, full rooms of endurance races where strategy was far more important than speed etc.

I would love to see them start to add some endurance events to sport mode. Wonder if that's in the cards at some point.

the sr s races are absolute bliss.
Agreed. I'll.have to say that 95% of my races have been very enjoyable. I usually start in the top 5 though so that usually gets you away from the carnage.

That's a racing game classic. Why I always leave break test room when following and always ready to slip out to the left or right. If you notice them doing it and you are behind them later release of the gas a bit fake them into a high line late on as they will go for it every time, then cross them and accelerate into the better line. If you are ready to slip out always do it so you are on the inside and be ready to push back slightly to stop them running you off track because they will usually try that as well.

I hate racers like that but they are easy to beat because they are always looking in their rear view. It's the people that decide they are going to use you as a barrier or unaware of whats going on around them that really piss me off. Especially on the last lap. Makes so many strategies close to impossible to do in the ranks I have been at, I'm a poor hot lapper I need to be able to take bigger moves to get to the top but they are high risk for me and require the opponents to be good. Sadly as I have found out too many times that even if you think the respect from the other racers is there to go into space in this way it usually isn't once it gets near the end of the race.

I would also love PD to ghost people that are about to be lapped. Standard procedure is to get the fuck out of the way but nope they decide to block and try battle it out with you instead and they will always ruin somebody's race. I was thinking about being taken out yesterday and the main reason I was hit was that I had to overtake somebody who was 18th (I was second) and they forced me into a line that exposed me to those lower down. Normally I'd never take that line but they were going so slow I had to maneuver, If they were a ghost I could have just continued on my way. Even though it has only happened to me once I have seen it happen to others multiple times.

Are penalties handed out differently in race compared to in qualy? Because just to test if I want to enter the race I'm trying in qualy to ride the wall around turn 1 on BB and I get a penalty each time.

Is he riding it in a special way?

So I decided to take a chance with an entry to the BB raceway daily and of course the pole position driver wallrides turn 1 on every lap... It did seem like he got some minor penalty time that he needed to ease away occassionally, but he got such a big lead from the wallriding that he still won easily.

PD, turn up the wallriding penalties!!!

Or put a nice obstruction on that wall so it slows you down significantly - that wall on the outside of the right hand fast sweep on Maggiore really messed you up if you hit it so something like that'd work fine rather than increased wall penalties across all tracks.

Yeah, anything works that makes it a disadvantage to ride the wall instead of how it is now.

Just got email from Sony, that my PSN account is temp banned for a week, because of the supposed breach of terms by my behavior in GTSport. I`m mean WTF?
Called them and was informed that a direct ban cause was a message that I sent to the other user, that he/she reported it to "SIEE moderator team" operating somewhere in UK and that the message contained offensive content, personal threats and/or improper pictures. I`m mean WTF again?

Now that I try to remember, there was one race few days ago when I met some sad fuck glitching the start procedure. I was on the pole position, he was second. During the start countdown he somehow (I think I know how) managed to slow down entire pack behind him (even stop them), then he was launched towards me (by some turbo magical boost), flew past me to gain first place even before first corner. I managed to pass him by the end of first lap and won that race with few second gap between us. Then wrote to him exactly those words via PSN message: "Glitcher/cheater always loose, remember that lesson mate". That was the one and only message that I sent over few past days so I`m assuming that it`s the one that caused the ban.
Isn`t it ironic that an (unsuccessful) glitcher is not the one that was banned but me? Where is that breach of terms and by who? I`m mean WTF once again.

Of course there is no procedure nor possibility of appealing the decision of the administrators, so it`s a whole week of no GTS for me. Fuck you prarts for spoiling the act of glitching our game!

Phew, just did mission challenges 8-4, 8-5, 8-6 and 8-7 in one sitting (gold in all of them). The endurances races were not that bad, but the 8-4 rally challenge was a fucking nightmare, I spent one hour and a half there. The slightest contact is a 2 seconds penalty, and the time you have is really really tight

Last one is the Nordschlaife race, but that's gonna have to wait till tomorrow, need to take a break desperately lol

Yeh I think it depends on the gear and where in the rev range you start off. It's kind of luck of the draw.

That's a racing game classic. Why I always leave break test room when following and always ready to slip out to the left or right. If you notice them doing it and you are behind them later release of the gas a bit fake them into a high line late on as they will go for it every time, then cross them and accelerate into the better line.

Oh I've learnt my lesson now. No point in slip streaming down the home straight if I see that person has been an aggressive driver.

Yeah, I tried it in qualifying to try and figure out what he was doing and got hit by a 1.5 or so second penalty each time. I do wonder about that though: with the course being pretty much flat-out apart from the first corner, I don't see how he could ease up to eat all those penalties each lap. Which makes me think he was up to something else, possibly that pausing technique that erased penalties I read about a couple of weeks back? But I would have imagined PD would have patched that out by now...

i take this back

ran into a few idiots on interlagos

There's something about interlagos that makes people lose their minds and forget the SR system even exists.

Uhhhhhh... Made it through one fia race now I'm A SR?

If you are clean in the longer races then you can get quite a big SR boost.

But someone else also noted that bouncing back is easier than getting to higher SR levels in the first place.

I have a half of glitch figured out, can't be bothered to experiment with it further.

Will I ever exit the DR D slump. Yesterday I've done 4 races at yamagiwa and ended around 2~3rd in all four, but nothing, still in D.

The bar under the DR in my profile, is it supposed to show a progress? It's a little past half, don't know if it's changing at all. I've landed in D after a victory in the public beta and I'm stuck there since.

Do you have any tips for 8.7 (Interlagos 30 mins)? I tried it twice last night, first time I went to fuel 4and saved just enough fuel to have to pit in with one lap to go... Next time I just went fuel 1 all the way, got to first with about 2 laps remaining and the opposition suddenly starting pulling magical laps out of their arse and blew me away...

Oh, yes. It happens sometimes. This online race was played via mobile network. Connection started to dissapearing ( later was disconnected ). Check first the rear mirror at the beginning.

Not sure that's conformation of anything really. GTS should be a steady seller with new PS4 purchases and it's selling well digitally so far. It wasn't going to open to 5 million units or anything.
