I do OK in the TTS. I'm faster at Willow in the Evora, and I prefer the Genesis for "feel", but the AWD cars seem to have a grip advantage. Wish there were more F/R choices.
@Jump_Ace on the time zone trick, you set your time zone in eastern time, at 12:01 drive your 26 miles, get the car, change to central time zone in your PS4 settings (make sure you're changing the zone and not the time) then at 12:01 on central time you'll get a new car, then switch to mountain time, then at 12:01 mountain time you'll get a car, then do it form pacific and whatever wacky time zone Alaska is in.
Ah okay that makes sense, except I'll never be up until midnight, racing, with two kids Thanks for clarifying that buddy

You get matched up with people with the same skill level. Qualifying times don't mean much. I've raced with people that were 30 seconds slower than me at Nurburgring and in the same race the pole sitter was 30 seconds faster than me. If you want to raise your on track rating than let the losers pass you and just do laps. Once your a A or S than you can work on your speed rating.
Please not all of them. Nobody wants to be last on purpose.You get matched up with people with the same skill level. Qualifying times don't mean much.

I agree, starting up front does help a lot when trying to avoid trouble. The original poster isn't an A or S yet so the best way to raise your rating is stay on the track and don't hit anyone. Do laps. People with the A and S ratings are far better racers than the E, D, C and usually the B's. You get a bunch of people with these lower ratings it's basically a smash up derby, lol.Quali time really helps to avoid trouble, even in the 'good' room.
Looks OK from here...

Not so good from down here....

And at least one known troublemaker there didn't get a red SR!
I've finished last and it wasn't on purpose, lol.Please not all of them. Nobody wants to be last on purpose.

Because once players figure out that getting hit from behind involves a severe penalty, massive amounts of brake checking will ensue. Is that what you want?Outspacer, maybe us North Americans have more kids racing than you UK guys? I agree, I don't think the rating system has changed. I wish they could figure out that if you get hit from behind, 99% of the time it's the guy that hit you was at fault. Give them a huge time penalty which ruins their race. I'm sure once the game is released we will be able to open our own rooms and pick who we race with.
Never thought about that. It would be great if the game could figure out if someone brake checked on straightaways and spots on the track where braking obviously wasn't needed. Maybe I'm asking for to much, lol.Because once players figure out that getting hit from behind involves a severe penalty, massive amounts of brake checking will ensue. Is that what you want?
I think it can be done. See how the penalty system has gotten better, at first you could rid yourself of penalty time by just waiting for a corner and coast through it after you've braked down to a reasonable speed. I reported it and asked for it to be more harsh, it doesn't make sense to rid yourself that easy of a penalty, and they listened. It still needs some work, but it worked. Then brake checking should be easy, just add the same code of the penalty just modify it.Never thought about that.

I think they could make some progress in this area by something like designating a hard braking zone in each corner and assigning responsibility for collisions from behind under braking within that zone to the following car. Outside of the zone, collisions under braking would be deemed brake checking and the responsibility of the lead or braking driver. It would take quite some effort to work for all the car/tire/corner combinations and work out how the algorithm handles multiple cars and multiple contacts. A generic zone won't suffice on a track which might see LMP's on slicks and street cars on comfort tires. It can be done but it still won't be perfect and is a lot of extra effort. I haven't seen anyone yet willing to make that effort but I suspect someone will in the future. A beta would be a good time to test this kind of thing. Too bad nobody does sim racing betas on console...oh wait..Never thought about that.

1.07 is out now, but the servers are down :, (

I want access to the beta so bad... I really dig this new Gran Turismo, and I know that statement contradicts what I've said before, but GT is GT, and I have to have it!
