Bop Issue on Gt3

[Danno29445]

What car/setup is the best for winning GT Cup GR3 Red Bull and Mount Panorama? Both are BoP races and I cant seem to find any car that will work. No matter which car I pick it never has the power to catch up on the straights. I can run the entire race full throttle and yet never get close at the end.

This sounds more like a skill issue rather than BoP.

Furthermore, setup will do you no good, as the races are BoP-enforced anyway.

Edit: Forgot about the chili part, but this further emphasizes the skill factor.

If you can't keep up on the straight, check that your control device is giving you full throttle. Also check that your brake isn't binding.

Firstly, if you're having trouble with any race like this, pick the car that the lead AI uses. However...

No matter which car I pick it never has the power to catch up on the straights.

In addition to @daan's note above, the straights aren't where you'll win these races. You'll win in the corners and, more importantly, the pits.

For Bathurst I just picked up the Mazda RX-Vision I always used, short-shifted it at about 75% rev range (roughly between the current and suggested gear indicators), rolled into the pits at the end of lap seven to top up to 45 litres of fuel (car was using ~14 per lap) and cruised to a four-second win.

The RX-Vision is not a Bathurst car under BOP as it is outclassed up the hill, but it responds very well to short-shifting. In my race the lead AI pitted at the end of lap five with 16 litres left, meaning it will have had to top up to at least 82 litres. That's 21 more than me, meaning more time sitting in the pits. I was about even with the lead AI on outright lap time - so not gaining - and won it in the pits.


At Red Bull Ring I recall there's a chance of rain too, which makes life easier as you can watch the radar (the first pale blue is irrelevant, but the darker blue brings enough water to reach past the first marker and require Intermediates; if the patch is small enough, you can wait it out on slicks), proactively change tyres and then pass them all as they flop about on the wrong tyre.

There is a multitude of ways of how to win it, for example I just did a no-stop race with the Lexus RC-F 17

It wasnt a big lead, and as you can see on my occasional 2.10 laps I am not consistent on that track at all, yet it was not a problem to speak about.
As a chilli race it is supposed to be a bit more difficult and requires a certain speed of the player, however you are able to pull this speed of.

For the Redbull Race, as far as I remember (and if things havent changed) rain will always happen at the same time, so changing tyres before it happens will almost already net you a finish on p1.

I'm having problems with all of the Gr3 Race's. No matter what car I drive I can hardly break the top 8. I do the same amount of stops that looks like everyone else does (usually 1) with no tire change and I still can't win. my lap time are sometime a lot different then the best laps time by 4 to 5 seconds. My car seem to have much less power that all of the other cars. It seems like I'm always getting pass on the straights. I have changed some of the setting like FM 1-5 and that help me with all of the other races except Gr3. I have almost completed everting except the Gr3 races. I think it show 12% completion. I'm not having any problems with any of the other types of races and I've played every Gran Turismo game since it started and never have I ever had a problem finishing a race at P1. What am I not do right?

Without a replay/video upload, this is difficult to answer.

Ok. I'll try to get a video for you to see. Thanks
