My time with GT Sport is ending in a few hours. Enjoyed as much as I could from March 2018 through to today. I'll just say, PD delivered with many cars in the full car list. Group C being my favourite race cars in the game. However, my most used and ultimate choices have been these cars below, as they were released. Some are dream cars I've wanted to see & use in a Gran Turismo game(E30, Fugu Z and 930T) and some are completly unexpected "Didn't see that coming?" surprises(300 SEL, Crown, Mini, Mustang "GT4", ZL1).... most of all, the Gr.4 Supra.
By far, the Gr.4 Supra was my most used after the Gr.4 Mustang. PD BOP'd it to underperform and didn't even "homologate" it for the FIA Manufacturer Series. That hurt.
I pushed myself, to prove the Supra could be competitve. For a good run, it was my buddy. Only niggling thing was, PD half baking the model with no race interior. These are the people that specialise on car details and with Toyota as partner... no interior? On the actual car that competed in the Nurb24? pfft.
Bugged me so much, I didn't care to delete it each time I restarted a new game. I prefer interior view and it was killing me. Now, I'm more than happy it returns for GT7(better have the dang interior this time!). Had my fun with it making liveries and being the underdog in every race. Can't wait to drive it properly, hopefully in FIA and enjoy watching it in many replays(makes me seem like a little kid
). Should be worth the six month wait.
Peace, GT Sport.

So last OZ race this year, still got some NZ Porsche though, bad 1st Q and second ruined by a slow guy who had went off and I had been purple for 3 sectors so 10th rather than somewhere near the front. Just took it easy as tyres are the issue and made a couple of places before the pits. Most went in on 9 and I left it till 10 and when it had settled I was in 5th. Caught and passed 4th at 15 and now 3rd is around 8 secs in front, but I'm sure he pitted on 6 and had softs (he was too far back coming out to tell what he changed to) so he has bad tyres by now or a harder compound. I'm much quicker and catch him at end of 18, pass and muck up first corner, still I'm right on his tail and next time I pass on the straight and can take 1st corner normally. Nice podium to round off the season, hopefully I can repeat that later as well.

My game keeps crashing, every account. Deleted cache or whatever it's called and reset console and nothing. Sometimes freezes on load, sometimes when I try to enter a race. Just me? Any ideas?

Lights? What lights?

If someone behind me is flashing their lights I am doing my best to prevent them from passing me.
Flashing with lights are for multi class racing, for a safe pass of a slower class.
Now most people that flash in GTS are using the default set-up where the flash is at the left stick so if you push down on it while driving it flashes.
But if the flash on straights I know it's on pirpose

Another PS breach of blah blah regulations warning, so I try and contact them to find out what I'm supposed to have done and can't get anyone to complain to. What a great system they have to protect us.
Step:
Step:
- Warn someone, but don't tell them what they have done
- Make it impossible to contact support
- Eventually it will be a ban as that's the second one and I still have no idea what I'm supposed to have done.

What you've done is:
- Used offensive language in the post-race chat
- Created a livery/decal employing offensive language or imagery
That pretty much covers it. It's moderated by humans and of course they can make mistakes - such as the chap with the KKK Turbolader decal which we kinda got overturned; the humans are Sony moderators, not GT Sport specialists and won't have that depth of knowledge - but that's the whole thing right there.
There's no way to appeal it directly, but then there's not much chance of you being pinged for not breaking the rules either (the KKK decal being a wild edge case). The last guy who protested he'd not done anything wrong turned out to have the Confederate flag (well, the one everyone calls that at any rate) on his car...

Has anyone noticed the anomalies concerning Special Stage Route X? Let me point out a few...
A) it's in a desert environment with a deep water port facility?
B) there it's also an airport, with only one runway and it seems to be jointly operated by commercial and military (military cargo transports are visible)
C) there is a large array of deep space satellite dishes adjacent to this airport, which either will interrupt any reception because of air traffic in area, or cause navigation errors in aircraft in flight.
D) because of airport and shipping port, where it's the city that is ususally to be close by?
E) the control tower(s) for the airport do not have any green/ white beacon identifying there is an airport there, even military airfields are required to have these beacons.
F) too many high towers of sort are too close to airport, wind powered generators cannot be close to airports for safety reasons.
G) there is a marina in the area, but no city or town near for people to live.
I could find more if I try to really dig but I thought this will get some explanations...

I don't think there's any deep thought or research behind the design choices, just a bunch of disjointed ideas. "A runway here would look cool", "the surroundings are bit too barren, let's put in some windmills and satellites. Those things are in deserts, right?", "water looks good with our lighting engine, let's get that in there too".

The idea behind SSRX is you're there to drive flat out as fast as possible, and the background scenery should all just be a bit of a blur. If you're taking in the scenery, you're not driving fast enough...
In all honesty though, it's probably just a random mix of things they felt would work in big open spaces, which help to fill some of the immense space this circuit occupies. There's always going to be inconsistencies when you get a bunch of game creators who work on racing games and ask them to create an enormous environment and fill it with things that make the environment feel like it's a place, not just a space. Loads of the PD-original tracks have elements which wouldn't work in reality, like the pit locations being inside the circuits with no access roads under/over the circuits, for example.

Random Question Alert.
Does anyone know if there's a practical way to communicate with someone who's followed you through the GT Community site? I suppose I could send a friend request through PSN, but is there a simpler way to contact them?
EDIT: Just discovered the PSN app, and did a friend request/message through there.
SOLVED!

Damn... this stuff is intense.
I've been doing some online racing today. The daily one, on fuiji. Going for the 993.
I am really inconsistent. But I do seem to be able to... do some pretty quick laps. If I don't spin out and lose a couple of seconds again. I'm like all over the place.
And my qualifying improvements today were... most of them with really huge improvements. First my just regular first time, maybe a 1.55 (if anyone knows the current kind of times atm). Then I improved with one second, which is good. So I was quite proud. 54 didn't seem bad. Then... though... I improved with 0,5s at one point. Then another maybe 0,4 one. Which are pretty big jumps IMO. Then I was getting proud like that's some real good progress actually. Posted here, with what I can now confirm was a 1.53:017. But I though that was a really good one and I probably didn't even have a shot at improving that one to maybe under the 53.
Lol.
And then I made a jump of another like freakin 0,7s or 0,8... lol. Seriously. I don't know how I pulled off that one, but I've got a 1.52:238 I believe it is now.
And I can't get anywhere near! Even though I am now getting at some low 53's atm. Just before I called it a day today (I shouldn't be having that much adrenaline going right before I go to sleep lol).
But this is soo...
You need to get consistent obviously, but right now I'm still all over the place.
But it does feel promising.
Luckily I have the replay of that time I raced. The low 52 one. And I haven't even...
I'm doing it on intuition. I have my own... sort of idea of brake points by now. But not very accurate.
But I have for example no clue yet what the actual fastest lines are... throughout this circuit. Haven't watched the "best" replays yet (I think you can view them, right?).
I wonder what you think lol.
And yeah... maybe the most important thing... I've been able to get to S sportsmanship already. Even though I started out with some really... frustrating penalties.
And doing C now in driver rating.
I know it's going to settle down.
But I think I have more potential than I would have expected. Especially not having watched the ideal lines yet lol.
I feel like I'm more in of a brawl than anything else lol.
Like a freaking fist-fight hehe.
I've been playing RDR2 right before these races started. Maybe that's why.
Oh well =D
And preordered GT7 now as well. Anniversary edition. Cause I think I can't really afford a PS5 yet... comfortably at least. So yeah. But I don't want to end up stuck at "just" the PS4 one either.
Seeing the PS5 game itsself is going to be 80,-. And the PS4 addition is only another 20 all in all... yeah this will definitely be the best deal.
Alright. My posts aren't all going to be this long lol.
But it's like my first day man..
And I had almost given up on GT entirely.
Edit:
Okay lol it's not. I mistook the times one digit I think, it's a 1.52:380. So the 238 sequence is one digit "slower" lol. Not a 1.52:238.
