Gran Turismo World Series (Nations Cup 2025 Exhibition Season 2: 26 Feb - 8 Mar)

[stpatty]

Qualified 4th. I was close to the three cars in front, half a second ahead of 5th and very far ahead of everyone else. Survived the first lap then got put into the wall at turn 1 by a guy on lap 2. Never really recovered. Ended up 8th.

Practice a bit, qualify high up and pray you can run away.

Is running away even a possibility with the custom slipstream?

Not that I have any hope of accomplishing the first part. I've practiced, sure, but with my best time of 1:48.3, I'm not expecting I'll qualify that well.

Oh, well. Bring on the chaos!

What car did you use? Is the AMG the best car?

 

[ZEE]

Well to say this is the worst beginning race of the Exhibiton 2 on the GTWS Nations cup is an understatment, this race was bloody bollox race from start to finish, I tried it twice and got good aweful abysmal racing and standings. PD should be ashamed of themselves.

This was horrible, all cars behaved so bad, poor tyre choices, wrong track choice for high tuned power cars. A lowly C lobby yes but the punting was horrendous, ghosting went out the window as I got punted in both races.

Race Attempt was with the NSX Type R
Race 2 attempt with the AMG GTR Black series

In Race 1, I got bumped and the game penalised 4secs, me for tapping a prosche even though i was shunted from behidn on turn 1. Wtf? I lose all momentum and tried too hard to make it back it up.

CLIP HERE:



In race 2, one guy went mental in a blue Audi R8 and and started punting everyone on the long straight, it was horrible and defo a clip to submit to plebs of the week!! Please avoid that driver at all costs, he not racing/gaming safely!

CLIP 2 HERE:



So so dissappointed! Hopefully Round 2 will fair better?!!

The 911 seemed to have been the car to use, I started 5th and finished 8th, would have been 7th but on that corner after the long back straight into the trees I went in the inside of an Audi and just tagged them as they turned into me as I had gone in a bit too deep, I couldn't stop and they had space but turned into me, anyway, I gave the place back but a 911 got through as well.

I don't think I would have done any better in the 911 as I didn't like it yesterday.

My SR went up but my DR went down, I needed to have finished 7th by the looks of it.

I just didn't have time to get used to the car, but I will take 8th it seems a fair result for me.

It is if this happens:

Lap 2, turn 1. The car facing the wrong way is me. 1st is just visible at the top of the picture. If anyone wants to see this for themselves, I shared the replay in-game tagged "gtplanet"

Your practice time would have put you 4th on the grid in my race, so you're definitely in with a shout.

I'm not sure how new you are at this but if you go to the ranking board from the Sport Mode menu you can see what the best times are and what car they're in. When I checked yesterday the first non-911 was a Supra at ~120 something.

Got to scratch that old NASCAR feeling driving style with this race, frustrating, but fun. Started 8th and finished 7th. Could of been higher if I didn't forget how to drive a couple of times during the race.

Easy race to win 💪😉

Lol the Porsche cup was a bit of a fail for me, I was only able to do the 2nd slot thanks to work...

My qualifying time wasn't too bad, 1.46.9 (The best I managed in FP was a 46.4).....but it put me P10, with Guy Barbara on pole, and holl01 2nd. As expected, the start was carnage, I got turned on the tunnel exit but somehow gained spots. I got as high as 5th, but some intense mid field battles with guys like Meta coming back after a lap 1 incident dropped me to 8th at the finish and 220 points or so. Would have loved to go again, despite the first lap carnage, it was a really good combo. Shame the other cars weren't really competitive.

GT1 slot 1, 170 point A/S lobby

I almost didn't leave daily race A at the Ring to run this one as I wasn't feeling it, but made a mistake and ran it anyway.

Q12 to P11

Got murdered on lap 1, turn 1 and down to last. Fought back to as high as 7th and totally misjudged the slipstream and murdered myself in turn 1, lap 7. Down to 13th and barely managed to limp myself back to 11th.

One and done. Ugh.

The whole lobby was in the Porsche except for one poor soul in the F40. Poor matchmaking with the cars, PD.

First GT1 slot in the Americas (6PM EST). 185 points. In door #4, driving the Porsche.

Qualified with a disappointing 1:49.127, nearly a second off my best in practice, which put in Q14 to start.

I got off to a poor start, and things didn't improve much. I managed to get up to P10 at one point, thanks only to crashes and penalties. Dropped back to last place -- which by then was P13 because of quitters -- as those behind barged their way by back through. Then another crash and penalty got me back up to P11, where I drove out the rest of the race for 108 points.

Glad it's over. I'm no good at Trial Mountain on a good day, but these cars just made it so much worse. I had no confidence in the car or myself in traffic. Couldn't get a decent lap in until the seventh, when I was finally able to find some space.

Now on to Watkins Glen. That's usually a rough track for me, too, especially in Gr.3 cars. Not really looking forward to it.

I think I still had more fun last week at Daytona even despite getting purposely smashed up on lap 1.

Not really worth reporting even, Q16 to finish P12 for 104 Pts.
