@Dragonwhisky
I read your explanation including 105 connections for 15 racers. So then, The next logical question is wouldn’t fixed host reduce some of that mess? Probably causes other types of issues, right? Don’t mean to rehash topics that come round time after time. (Perhaps a past post explains this well also?)
I have been hosting the division races since beginning of February and last week when we increased the number of racers (from the typical 8 to 13), two racers had enough issues that there evening was over.
Every tiny change has a ripple effect. Great to get more racers in 1 room but sad that ramifications of a limited platform (or whatever) ends up thwarting well intentioned effort.

Audi update limited my practice time last night. Got a chance at 2 8 lap races at Brands. It was a lot of fun. Hit a few mid 39s. I am a huge fan of Suzuka so I hope I can get up to speed fairly quickly in the NSX. See you all tonight

 

[JLBowler]

Fixed host does carry it's own set of risks. Chief among them is that if something happens to the host's connection, the whole room is shut down.

Another effect of fixed host, at least in GT6, was that those with a problem connection were sometimes still not able to race and were actually dropped from the room due to poor connection quality.

That can be looked at as a good thing or a bad thing and it is most likely determined by which side of the connection you're on. The guy with the poor connection that got dropped would probably see it as a bad thing and understandably so. The other guys in the room that were not effected by the one poor connection might see it as a good thing. Yes, they lost a driver but they don't have to deal with connection issues.

Hey @CoachMK21, how was Daytona? Do you ever have time to join on console lately?

 

[Hanable]

The only thing i dont like about the f1500 is the lost of engine noise when your near another f1500.

 

[DesertPenguin]

It's really low in general

Just keep it in 4th all the way and you’ll be very stable.Much slower but very stable @Rob Brown

That would be a fun challenge race. The challenge being to use the turbo as little as possible and never go below 3rd gear hehehe

 

[MajorBlixem]

Drive it... don’t race it

 

[Hanable]

I enjoyed the f1500 at the previous track. That was fun especially with a full grid.

 

[Rob Brown]

Hey, now everyone knows my strategy! 4th gear pinned with no spins is going to win the attrition race! The turtle always beats the overconfident hare, you know. Now I’m going to have to amend my strategy to stay ahead. I’ll think of something.
What I’d really love to know is how @BradESPN launches every car at the start to catapult himself 4 car lengths or more. Sorry to “out” you, Brad. Please explain because we have no secrets in the SNAIL brotherhood!

 

[Hanable]

Do any of you guys run a fanatec wheel on gtsport. If you do what are your impressions.

Hmmm, well, practicing with "sprints" like we've been doing lately in practice lobbies helps... other than that:

Practice makes perfect!! Haha.

@CoachMK21 if you havent seen your a thumbnail!

*correction thumbSNAIL

That's cool, thanks for pointing it out!

Hey @CoachMK21, how was Daytona? Do you ever have time to join on console lately?

Daytona was a blast. I'm putting together the video footage now and I'll post a summary in the next day or so. I haven't even turned the PS4 on in months

 

[DesertPenguin]

I watched the hot laps and I'm so jealous. What's your weight/hp?

 

[MajorBlixem]

251 lbs... not sure about the hp.....

 

[TEX36]

I think the Little F1500 Combo is going to be an exercise in patience, consistency and concentration.

If we get impatient, IMHO, then we won't be pleased with the result.

 

[spidermonkey]

Race B on the sport mode races today is one of our combos if you feel the need to practice a war of attrition. If my memory serves me correctly the BOP is a 1:1 so I think it would be like driving our car.

 

[TVV0_]

Who wants to run combo 3 first and 1 last? Lol

 

[CoachMK21]

I watched the hot laps and I'm so jealous. What's your weight/hp?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I know JC has done a lot of work to trim weight out over the winter. He added a new fuel cell, which added 2 gallons. He had to add a lot of reinforcements to the rear end and we only gained 5 pounds of weight because of the other stuff he trimmed out with his plasma cutter.

251 lbs... not sure about the hp.....

Hey! I may be at my near high weight, but it's still just 160 lbs

No wonder you're so fast! You need a handicap!

My little brother was talking about his own statistics.....

 

[TEX36]

From Yamauchi-san, via GTPlanet article:

"In terms of tracks, Yamauchi states players can expect more as well. He also touches on rainy weather, which is currently very limited in Gran Turismo Sport. Yamauchi suggests raindrops will hit more tracks soon, something we heard late last year. Around that same time, Yamauchi also teased that Deep Forest could be on the way."

 

[Hanable]

Ah man no trial mountain. I like deep forest too. Im sure it'll be great.
