Well facts say GT is bigger in EU than USA, that's probably why.
Nah idk.No. I haven't had PS+ for quite some time, but I still enjoyed racing at Brands with some guys.

Well servers appear to be back, 5mins till race start, If it actually starts from the look of this thread I don't have many hopes for it actually working.

I played a race, got kicked cause someone bumped on me & then another..Now this. I think nothing is going to change if they not get some dedicated servers! I can see the other players really smooth without lag but the servers are not seem to handle it

Wow, servers are not prepared for such big numbers. Also keep in mind that it's easter, and not all beta testers are playing right now

Let's just hope when this game is released that their servers will be more reliable than McLaren Honda's engine.

If you think for a minute they'll release the game in this unstable state you've got to be kidding me. Why do you think they have the beta test? To stresstest and fix the problems, not to see what's going on and what we do with it.

Things should obviously improve, but it's not like having a beta is some 100% guarantee of a solid final release.If you think for a minute they'll release the game in this unstable state you've got to be kidding me.

Given the way the modern "AAA" games industry tends to release products with broken, buggy and unstable online components nowadays, I wouldn't be too surprised.

Give it another day or two. I joined the US beta along with the bulk of the playerbase, and the first day was very hit or miss in terms of getting in. I imagine the servers are under their heaviest load now with both EU and NA betas live. Once people start dropping off, it should be come more stable.

Man, it's only 3 laps?
This just isn't cool for an iRacing-like focus. Completely sucks for the cars in the back or those who get bumped around early on.
But their problem is that longer races likely means longer wait times between races. So.....yea, they've got a hell of a job to figure this out.

Issue for me is not that the connection fails (it is à beta afterall). It is more the time you need before you van actually start racing in an online race!

This is a beta. Lengthier races will be a must for those FIA license events and tournaments which are led up to by any legitimate, competitive races.
It is understandable, but would you just look at it?! Some of you people aren't issuing your concerns around any context, aside from the "gimme" mentality

Constantly getting disconnected. Like a random draw if I am able to stay connected or not.
