Can only blame myself - all I had to do was keep it steady, and P2 picked up a 1 second penalty too so I'd have had plenty to spareLoose the Car on LAST Corner ... oh man.. 😞 Sorry Buddy

One of my biggest fears is out qualifying myself. That's why if I put up a good time, I make sure I can hit that time consistently before I race.General question.
I have a lot of cars at least 2 times.For some I made different liveries. in race B I use the Veyron and in my old veyron I manage to drive faster than in the new one. Of course I use for both the same setting. 1tc (don't have to prove my manhood, since I'm not a man, so I can use tc, lol) and -2 on the brakes.
I experienced this, with every car that I use double. (so same car, different mileage, same setting, different livery)
Another thing, in race B I'm grouped with C/S and B/S mostly. Since a few days, the first three places are drivers who run 1:46,*** . I have the impression, that the lack of penalty and overuse of resets, makes all matchmaking off balance. On the other hand, I'm wondering, how the drivers in front of me manage those qualifying times. I make up at least 3 spots in the first lap. because of them crashing or misjudging the corners. In one race I thought those people must be on this track for the first time.
exactly. in race C , I even break before the finish line, when I had an exceptional good time, which I wouldn't be able to reproduce.One of my biggest fears is out qualifying myself. That's why if I put up a good time, I make sure I can hit that time consistently before I race.
Why you dont drive at Time Trial with same Car Settings? There you can look how fast you can be.exactly. in race C , I even break before the finish line, when I had an exceptional good time, which I wouldn't be able to reproduce.
Lack of skill or maturity. If someone is faster, I'll let them go. That courtesy has been extended to me a few times as well. But if the faster driver has to push another car off or side slam them in order to keep the position, then I don't consider them faster. Maybe just more bold through one sector of track than I was. I have one rule: if I can tell that contact between me & another car was more than accidental, then they will get contact back.Don’t understand why when someone is clearly faster and they overtake you they have to push you wide for no reason and constantly keep hitting you when running side by side down a straight…
I see qualifying times as falling into 1 of 2 categories: 1) this is how I drive this track & this is going to be consistent. This tends to keep me starting 5th or deeper in the field. 2) some fluke lap that I'll never replicate. Gets me starting in the top 3, which I like. I prefer to qualify in order to hopefully avoid most of the carnage. Despite the horror stories about people's driving, you have to have a scumbag qualifying on pole in order to have problems in those kind of rooms.One of my biggest fears is out qualifying myself.

Getting sucked in to another reddit debate about what clean racing is supposed to look like, it's hopeless. The vast majority is of the persuasion, if there is a gap, dive into it. Other car should use their radar to avoid 'ballsy' moves.I think I will quit GTS... esp. on weekends it is not possible to race one clean race without carnage...
Driving like every other car is the enemy is pretty video game specific. It doesn't resemble any real ife Motorsport.Getting sucked in to another reddit debate about what clean racing is supposed to look like, it's hopeless.

There are no rules to racing, diving to the apex means you got their first, so anyone following the racing line, being ahead before turn in is in the wrong when accelerating past the apex if they hit a car diving to the apex. Still braking and pointing to the outside of the corner to take some virtual apex somewhere in the middle of the road at 2/3rds into the corner, but got to the apex first, other car must somehow brake, turn back the other way to avoid the diver.
Racing is not about slowing each other down, but that's what GT Sport has turned into. Overtakes by getting a faster corner exit, draft pass on a straight is by far the best way to overtake. Side by side in corners is a last resort, not beneficial to either and definitely no good early in the race.
When going side by side it is important to present yourself. Not jump into a gap, be close to the car you are challenging so they know you are there and you are visible on the radar. Then either out brake, concede, or share the corner. Yet in GT Sport it has turned into shoving your car into the apex while half on the grass or kerb, get to the apex first, figure out how to complete the corner later.
GT7 desperately needs to explain how to overtake safely. If that's not part of the license tests and you can just jump into sport mode again after a 2 minute video, nothing will improve. A better SR/penalty system will help, but people will just be complaining that it's not in their favor. First you need to explain the rules before trying to enforce them.
Yeah, what I love about the sport and what seemingly most people don't get is that it's as much a co-operative sport as a competitive one. The goal is to reach the finish, preferably in first or in a better place than where you started. Yet for most players the goal seems to be to 'win' the next corner.Driving like every other car is the enemy is pretty video game specific. It doesn't resemble any real ife Motorsport.
"Don't do anything to make you look bad" and other attempts at shaming like YouTube videos doesn't work. If players were knowledgeable about some Motorsports and history it probably would work. But increasingly people aren't.
Sounds silly but maybe they need to dumb it down more. Have a warning that states GT Races are based on multi-participant Motorsport not a movie car chase with bad guys.
You can also have these players take a test on how to drive properly and fairly every day before the first race, most will pass it and still behave like this in the race. These are just chat traits in a totally anonymous online scene. There are no real penalties ectr. for such cases and even if there is a penalty system, there will always be players who manipulate the system with their driving style to their advantage and to the detriment of the other drivers.There needs to be a full course on driving etiquette before being allowed online. I genuinely think a lot of it is ignorance. GT7 will have loads of new players and will be utter carnage I’m sure due to bad habits of ramming AI out the way.
I think once you get to a certain level in any sport or game. The rules become greyer. So it'd be pretty hard thing to teach when nobody really has it right.Yeah, what I love about the sport and what seemingly most people don't get is that it's as much a co-operative sport as a competitive one.

The overall strategy is completely missing in the majority of races. People get downright hostile when you bump draft, just to push them ahead to catch up to the slipstream of traffic further along. Then they put all their effort into defending / blocking the corner you obviously have no interest in contesting that player on and any time gained from bump drafting is lost again, going way off the racing line through the corner.
There are still people that get it although it's rare nowadays. So awesome to find a like minded driver in a different car. Then swap positions in the right places to maximize the strength of both cars. Some corners are faster in some cars, the other car uses the slip stream to keep up and pass on the straight to be ahead in corners that car is faster in, repeat. The gap to the front melting like butter.
It's another thing I blame the AI for. It really feels like one vs all when playing against AI. I swear they work together to slow you down so their AI buddies can get ahead Teaming up with an AI car, I haven't seen a single racing game yet where that works out.
Race strategies, another area GTS has absolutely nothing on. (Maybe the Lewis Hamilton DLC talks about it? I dunno, guess not since its a time trial)
It's not that the rules become grayer, it's the 'divas' that will push against the rules and stretch them by complaining the loudest. Then the supposedly impartial referees have to bend the rules to appease the most popular players. It's all about the advertising money in the end.I think once you get to a certain level in any sport or game. The rules become greyer.

Thankfully many who are NASCAR fans understand race techniques such as bump drafting. The catch is those who don't think you're just trying to bump them out of the way. And since PD was penalizing drivers for bump drafting in one of those SSRX Ford GT races, they surely won't use a video to explain that as a racing technique.The overall strategy is completely missing in the majority of races.

I think the 4wd can do well hereTook last week off and didn't bother racing at all (aside from a single lobby race which I dominated for a change!) but I think I'll be back this week for a race or two at Barcelona. Which car is META here this week? Using the Kudosprime random car selector, you'll find me in the RCZ, Cayman and 458...
Unfortunately KP wasn't on board with that and gave me FF and MR cars instead...I think the 4wd can do well here
I'm thinking WRX and Lancer Evo. Megane Trophy might also be good, if AWD cars aren't your thing.Took last week off and didn't bother racing at all (aside from a single lobby race which I dominated for a change!) but I think I'll be back this week for a race or two at Barcelona.

GT Sport Daily Races: Survival of the Fittest
The latest set of Gran Turismo Sport Daily Races is now available, as the game heads into its final month before being succeeded...
Noooooooo...
After a bunch of P3 to P6 finishes at Suzuka, I started on pole in this race and led every lap - til I was coming out of the last chicane and lost the rear ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
I'd gone 6 medium, 4 hard and most of the rest went hard then medium. I had a 3 second gap after my stop, but it was down to 0.8 at the start of the last lap.
Your matching imbalance would be down to SR in the 80's. Seems SR has been a bit more sensitive recently and as it matches by SR first you can easily cross DR zones if you're near the border.General question.

Yep. I fully understand why it happened and that it will happen again and again. Really what got me drawn in is him calling the moderators of the league he joined, fascists for criticizing his move then muting him when he mouthed off. It's not just that post there are two others.@Sven Jurgens I just saw the reddit discussion you referenced. I watched both perspectives and I can see both points of view. I don’t think anyone was plain dirty to be honest. The bigger issue, and this one incident is a microcosm of Daily races being ruined, is why the guy was going for that overtake so desperately anyway. He would have lost at least that place plus probably one more as he’d compromised his exit so badly. The blue car didn’t do anything wrong but GTSport being what it is he should have known someone was going to lunge in there, happened to me a bunch when I was starting. So then you have to take really defensive lines hugging the inside of every corner which just slows you down, and brings more people into a group and raises the chances of carnage further. The mentality that everyone else needs to be ‘beaten’ at every opportunity like some sort of track based call of duty is the bigger problem I think.
Tried the 458 on my lunch break and managed a mid 55 after a few laps. Not sure how that compares against the majority but it's a long way off the top 10 who are pretty much all in the WRX bar a single Megane Trophy...I'm thinking WRX and Lancer Evo. Megane Trophy might also be good, if AWD cars aren't your thing.
