Jeez driving with no TCS alone is awful for me! Does anyone have any advices for driving without TCS?
Can anyone drive high speed race cars with 0 TCS?

lots of tapping.

well i usually drives with all electronic assist off (TCS and ASM)
umm i guess i can't really help you but i will tell u a advice, you can not make a single mistake...y? simple, easier to spin out and wheel spin like hell if u messed up on the speed, gear, braking and the wrong steeling input....

This, combined with proper timing. Going on the throttle too early or too hard or when the wheel is turned too far is a real nono in GTPSP, more so than in GT5P or other games where it's easier to correct.
LOL, basically, yeah. It's actually a bad habit I picked up in my GT1 days that I thought I'd kicked! Tapping, and some seriously refined counter-steering. Le Mans is a good place to practice if you fancy your chances.
I'm also experimenting with using higher gears and thus lowering the revs, but the results so far have been mixed (with the notable exception of the start, where wheelspin is kept to minimum - in a Toyota GT-ONE - by shifting into second gear at a precise moment which I've yet to nail down). What I would give for full DS3 support...

In a word..... Yes,
takes a lot of tapping as previously mentioned, so F-it

I must say that this is the main reason I don't play GTPSP that much anymore. I want to experience the best driving physics the game can offer, but the PSP simply doesn't provide the appropriately delicate inputs to control them. I used to play with the D-Pad on the controller from GT1 through to GT4, so it can't be lack of experience.
The Ferrari Enzo is a good example to me, because it is powerful as well as twitchy. With tapping the accelerator when exiting a bend, it's very hard to not unsettle the car and make it spin. The TSC doesn't help either, because even on the highest setting it will not stop wheelspin until the back end of the car is already going. Then, when you need a bit of power to correct the oversteer, it drowns your horses completely and you simply spin out.
GTPSP is very realistic for what it is, but for me, it is that very realism that makes high-powered cars pretty unplayable because of the PSP's limited possibilities of controlling them. When I need to dedicate all my efforts to staying on the track instead of driving fast, playing this game is no fun anymore for me.

I give up. The Ferrari Enzo is too much for me. There I publicly admit it, I'm a pansy.
The Enzo is a handful to drive.

well with no TCS and no ASM and on professional physics, it feels like racing in GT1 with the Viper. Lots of countersteering and tapping of the brakes and gas. I can certainly drive them with 5 on tcs no asm and on either standard or professional physics.

Finally got around to uploading my Ferrari Enzo Nurburgring Lap on N3 tires with No Driving aids.
Its not my best lap, just the best I had in full replay form. I have gone slightly quicker, but its hard to do a full lap of the Nurburgring and come away completely satisfied with your performance...
Even with the PSP's 'Limitation' of inputs, I still can't pull myself away from this game. Its one of the better driving games out there at the moment, and I think it feels better than GT5Prologue. I'm trying to crack the S-class race under these settings, but I need to find another 5 seconds or so, per lap, every lap, I'm consistent at about the 8minute mark, and every few laps I can hit 7:55, but I you need to be at 7:50 consistently to win...very hard to do.

Hey man very nice run.
Just one question, why drop the tires to N3? THe Enzo has S3 default tires. The real life version uses top quality tires when N3 is more like a generic brand tire for an econo box. Its kinda like wearing a 3 piece suit with white tennis shoes.. lol
Thanks.
In GT PSP, all non-race cars have S3 as default tires. I believe this is done for gameplay reasons and not based on reality. I believe that N3/N2 tires are still the most realistic in performance (based on tests from GT4 and through GT5P). The Nclass tires are the 'control' tires right from GT2 and are meant to be the most realistic tires, with the rest becoming less realistic the further up the chain you go towards R3.

I actually have a much harder time correcting in GT5P than any other GT game. Even with TCS and ASM on the cars slide out rediculously easily compared to any other GT game but withou any assists, it's very hard to control some of the powerful and light cars.
but yea, in GTPSP, I learned to drive everything without driver assists and always in professional mode, even the super fast race cars. It shaved at least a few seconds off my times by doing so
I'm no GT expert being a standard physics and automatic gearbox sort of person, I do however never use TCS. Takes a bit of practice but once you have I think you can master most cars without it, probably just different tuning parameters.
I'm another non-fan of the Enzo having hammered it on the Nurburgring for quite a number of laps. It's not just that it's twitchy in general handling, I just find it gets unsettled a whole lot easier than any other car I have driven in the game if you clip an apex for example. It's certainly not a lot of fun.
I found the Ford GT quite hard to master too, similar MR layout and all. Similar thing really, once you overdo it a little you have next to no chance of salvaging things. Ultimately I found it still a lot quicker and more satisfying around the Nurburgring than the Enzo however. What was odder is that the faster, more powerful and lighter GT Le Mans Spec II is actually easier to drive than the stock production car (same tyres) despite being a brute of a car and easily the quickest thing I have encountered in the game so far.
