Sorry, I will not make the race tonight.
Adjustments to the physics simulation model
The physics simulation model of “Gran Turismo 6” has been updated with the following changes:
- The handling of some rear heavy cars has been improved
No way, it's damn near impossible to drive on SM and we probably should have been on SS last night. The thing is homicidal.Not yet, but any improvement is good for me!
Does this mean you may be changing it to SH
Tires?!

I thought it was OK to be honest, SH would have been fine too but I didn't think SM was bad - though I did install the chassis rigidity upgrade to help make it as tight as possible. I genuinely think low grip on suitable suspension rigidity is far easier to control than high amounts of tyre grip that the stock suspension just can't cope with. High grip tyres on wallowy suspension just makes over-correction on any little slide a complete nightmare to deal with.
I found it to be the worst handling car we've driven so far, by a long shot. I could only give one input at a time; brake, steer or accelerate, any combination of the two resulted in a strong desire by the car to face the other way. But then again I generally hate for my cars to be sideways. After my first test, realizing that this car had a fetish for being sideways, my initial thought was "wow, Chase is going to LOVE this thing!!".
I like Motegi. But the car made it feel very small. I think I never got to 4th gear even with the long straights. But once I got over using mostly 1st and 2nd gear it was fun.
The amont of draft surprised me. And not in a positive sense. Was it set to Weak?
The rear is not trying to pass you anymore as much as before.
Checking the replay my experiences did not have maybe as much to do with the slipstream setting as I thought. So I am fine with the weak setting 👍
One more note on the F40. I think that driving this kind of car should be just a little scary without any traction control. Every acceleration has to be very careful or you will loose traction. I like it So I think that changing tires would take something away. But I am not against using SS in any way if you feel it is better.
I'm pretty sure that the F40 is not a tame, take you to the shops kind of car... It wants to be driven hard, it is after all a raw race car with number plates!
So I find it challenging that you HAVE to be on your toes in this car and focus to drive it clean and fast. It can be done, but takes more practice to dial out that safety margin you find in other cars. I'm really looking forward to Saturday's race... 👍
Boooooo 👎.
"Real" is far closer to real world conditions and makes overtaking as difficult as it should be. With "real" you need to be very close and get a good exit from a corner to challenge the car ahead, instead of just staying close enough to the car ahead and then easily cruise by on a longish straight.EDIT: To be honest, I hate the Real slipstream. It's non-existent and makes overtaking virtually impossible. Even at la Sarthe I couldn't get enough draft to pass somebody on the straights and it led to making some rather ugly overtake attempts. But I usually leave it on Real because I believe that's what the majority wants.

"Weak" can be fun as well in it's own way, but I think I prefer the challenge of "real".
My current F-40 is not able to get on track with tuning prohibited. So just letting you guys know you may need to buy another.
Most likely due to the update.
Maybe someone can confirm this?
We've all had trouble Ace, just go to the settings screen, exit, and try again, rinse and repeat if it doesn't work. Odd glitch for sure but most of us have had that at some point.
For any car you bought before the latest update you need to simply click the Reset to Default button relating to the suspension settings. You have to do this even if you haven't altered the settings in the first place but it only takes a couple of seconds to do so.
