So after trying to win the FGT championship and failing miserably, I decided to practice on each of the tracks separately then go into the championship. While i was doing this i noticed something strange. The car would sometimes go off the track when I knew on my previous lap i took that same turn just fine. After paying close attention I noticed my FGT car would apply throttle when i was turning. The sharper the turn the more it would apply. Sometimes it would show that the gas pedal was pressed more than halfway. This made the car understeer and I would run off the track.

Has anyone else noticed this? Does it have something to do with the LSD?

I found this happening to me whilst racing at Grand Valley. I had racing hard tyres on and with a DS3 it was taking a fair bit of skill for me to take the left/right/left uphill turn just after the first corner at full throttle. I did it a couple of times but most laps I'd need to lift on the uphill right, but every time I heard the throttle increase in the middle of the turn, even though I had lifted. Very odd, and I didn't have it happen at any other corner.

Not ASM, didn't have that on and never had. All aids off except ABS on 1.

I have a wheel, all assists off except ABS. It usually happens in chicanes when you go from left to right really fast. The little accelerator bar in the HUD shows that the car is applying throttle when in reality I have taken my foot off the pedal.

I'm on a DFGT

Before the race starts, push both peddles to the floor. It might be a calibration issue.

Tried that, didn't work. It only happens on the FGT car

This has happened to me as well. I'm using the DFGT, with no aids other than ABS 1. I've seen the throttle stick a bit, but not accelerate, and also I've had the brakes not work. I've noticed it only happens for me for the first race after powering up my PS3, and usually in the first corner or two.

Has been in since GT5P at least. Will happen with the FGT, Ferrari F1's, and the Red Bull X1.

The last time something like this happened to me was in GT4 when i messed with the LSD settings and the car started accelerating on its own when I turned lol thats why I thought it might be an LSD issue
