Gran Turismo World Series (Nations Cup Exhibition Season: Jan 22 - Feb 1)

[OJBrit]

Things are hotting up in my local battle. It's become Zorzesque!
Only 2 of us in my 'local' area and we are neck and neck after missing 2 rounds each.

Furthermore if nobody else joins in it has quite the ramifications. 1st and you get gold. 2nd and you get bronze.
Hopefully I can get a couple of good results to pull ahead.

It would be nice to get gold in my last run in the Bristol region. (I do not know how you even change this.)

 

[Fezzik]

Maybe this is all PD's secret master plan to drive away all the players, so they can kill off GTWS and show the Sony bosses they're saving money. Why would anyone with serious skills even play this game anymore?

No local battles for me - I'm the only GT3 Lexus entry and the only GT2 Chevrolet entry. Had some competition in previous years but people have understandably moved on.

I don't know whether to be more surprised at someone remembering the local rivalry I had this time last year or the fact you referred to it as "Zorzesque".

 

[GTWolverine]

I'm also 1 of only 2 Chevy drivers in GT1 in my local area.

 

[Dep Fishtail]

Probably a long shot but does anyone have a 1:44/5/6 Daytona ghost for the 650s I could "borrow" pretty please?

I’ve only been able to reach 1:46.4 with the 650. In the F1 McLaren I’m at 1:45.4

There are faster ghost in the showcase currently around 1:44.

I will go have another search but I couldn't find any this morning.

I might just pivot to the F1 as I am struggling to get any time out of the 650 like 2 seconds off the pace struggling like hell.

 

[jrbabbitt]

Agree with Nebuc. It's the passing car's job to make sure he can do so cleanly.

Basically means that "dive bomb" on inside of ANY corner is not doing so "cleanly"

I can share both of them with you. The bb needs to be neutral at best but forward helps to keep the F1 more stable in the bus stop. Tail wants to come around if you need to dab to get more turn in.

Will share shortly 👍

Shared them with tag gtp66 just for you :-)
I think there’s a lot more to gain on the bus stop exit from my 650 run. It’s definitely smoother. Also I was going into the bus stop a little deeper than I usually do so tonight I’m going to try and take it more with left tire on the
grass to make a more shallow run through it. Just did practice races last night and no more real trying to go faster.

Let me know if you can’t find them. Cheers

The bigger issue is that it looks - and I'll emphasise that this is not a suggestion on my behalf that it is, as I don't believe they would - like there's drivers being selected for the live events and drivers that are not.

Even looking like that, whether it is or not, is enough to destroy credibility, confidence, and trust in the competition. And the problem there is not who'll be attending this year's finals but who's going to bother with next year's knowing that their effort can be zeroed out at any time.

This could be remedied by more openness, explanation, an official announcement... anything, really.

Currently trying hard to gather attention to the topic and get some kind of response before the season ends

No local battles for me - I'm the only GT3 Lexus entry and the only GT2 Chevrolet entry. Had some competition in previous years but people have understandably moved on.

Maybe I'll have some more exact numbers tonight but there are some 15k GR3 drivers (probably a big portion not unique a.k.a. alts) some 6,5k GR2 (dito) and 4k+ drivers in group 1. EMEA. That's a sad tally for a game I prefer to remember had almost double those numbers.

It would be nice to get gold in my last run in the Bristol region. (I do not know how you even change this.)

I was able to change my region to another US state a month ago, even after I already had raced in a few GTWS events. My points were unaffected.

I can't decide what the best part of this ongoing penalty/disqualification fiasco is. Is it the tacit admission that the in-game penalty system doesn't work, if people aren't being penalised mid-race for things that are worth being disqualified for? Is it that the punishments being meted out far, far exceed anything that can happen in-game outside of crashing and not being able to recover, or actively trying to sabotage your own race? Is it the entirely nonsensical yet predictable wall of silence about how they're being applied? I might just sabotage my rating and stay in GT2 for as long as possible.

I think I hit a 1:46.2ish in the 650S which felt pretty good, but looks like you're suggesting the F1 might be worth a shot here. The 650S is gonna get murdered on the oval for sure, so maybe I'll give it a try tonight and see.

 

[Globato44]

GT2 here. I'll just put all brake bias to the front and go for the no stopper. I'm terrible at managing tyres, but I think I'm ok with fuel, and I don't expect this round to outperform my currently valid results anyway, so YOLO.

You really should stop.

 

[Globato44]

You really should stop.

Ok, I'll do a quick test race.

 

[Talon16]

Mate, the regs require a stop so you really, really, really should. Or, get the 1:00 pen. Up to you I guess but I'd take Fezzik's advice.

 

[JDM_GT7]

there is no way you can save one minute by not doing a stop.

There is no need to test this.

Oh, I never fail at requirements, but I hadn't read them yet. Thank you both. Then I'll change tyres; those few seconds will mean nothing to me.

I had to use a word and that was the best that came to me. I think you may have met your rival on track though, something I'm unlikely to do. So you'll still have a more intense one than I will have.

Thanks. I'll try and refer back to this after I move. I was thinking I would have to go into some PSN settings. Seems rather simple now.

I'll see you in the finals then. Good luck!

Hi guys, am I the only one to lose a second and a half between training and online free practice?

That's my first GTWS and I've made a 1'45"303 in the AMG (800+ worldwide) but when I opened a lobby with the fuel and tyres conditions I could barely come under 1'47...

Edit: I may have not set the right time and weather conditions I don't know.
And if anyone knows what the fuel refill speed will be I'd take it!
I didn't know if it was a good idea to test the "no tyre change" in GT1 but reading the last page it seems not.

No you aren't, I was having the same thing in TT thanks to @Dep Fishtail i was able to be vaguely competitive offline. In my lobby practices with full race settings I couldn't get close to the single session times at all. The one time I did it was the scariest lap I've ever done.

Definitely not a lap I'd like to replicate 15 or 25 in a row that is for sure!

No way! Photoshop... gotta be... faster than Gallo!

If you’re still looking for these settings, weather is S09, Early Morning and the fuel refill rate is 10L/s

OK thanks, I remember the GT Sport times when with friends we already noticed there were differences between offline and online, I guess they didn't solved the issue!
I'm involved in this MC but with no pressure (at least I try, I can't say my legs aren't shaking a bit at the start! ), I'm trying to convince myself I have nothing to lose since I don't know how I'm a DR A/GT1 driver!

I started saying to myself it would take me back to DR B and GT2 but I finished 10th at Interlagos after starting last and 6th at Deep Forest after a Q5 with a door 13!
So who knows how it will end?

Thanks a lot! I figured out the refill might be 10L/s but I had no idea about the time and weather, I'll try that tomorrow

Game obviously knows I’m faster than Gallo so ordered us accordingly

 

[Dep Fishtail]

Good luck to everyone doing Daytona! Races underway soon.

I’m set on trying out my McLaren F1 for this one just because I’ve been really looking forward to giving it a go in a race where it should hold its own.
Hopefully I’m not licking too many wounds tomorrow 🤣

Does your training have BOP on?
