@Bullwinkle PSN says that I can't add you as a friend because of your account settings. Why would you restrict that?

Not me to answer, but:
Because many, like me don't play online outside of GT. I had PS Plus for years but only for the free games. Just Singleplayer stuff with no intention to interact. Also in my age and peergroup i didn't know a single othe Playstation Gamer personaly. Still pretty much don't.

The GT Sport came along and i started to play online. Took me a while to adjust the privacy settings. I find it nice to see the times of befriended "youtube stars" and of others that invited me because of some fair races along the way but without that i wouldn't miss much and still don't do stuff online.

You can check the Hp/torque curve by going to detailed settings menu ( like where you tune when available) check the ecu/racing computer/gearing for the transmission. If I remember correctly and that’s a big IF🍻 there’s charts and info that can be quite helpful.

Hey thanks a lot. I actually know where to find these charts, I even understand what they mean, but I'm always too lazy to take a look... Seems that I'm more of a find-it-out-the-hard-way person...😆

Did three laps of #lunchbreakracing in the Supra with shortshifting according to Chevy's advice (thanks again), and what do you know: one second faster already. The bad aspect of it is that I'm faster now with the Supra than with the Mustang... which means the 'Stang will have to fight back...🤣

Edit: The Mustang fought back. By 1/100 of a second.😇

He means rubber banding in the context of online gaming. You see it in shooters when someone is lagging. Say you're sprinting forward, you get sent back a few metres while you're sprinting. As if a rubber band is pulling at you. It's where I first learned the term; Battlefield 4 was a mess when it first released.

That's still lag, just on the player with the worst connections account as the server tries to find the find placement of everyone in the room at the same time.

I don't restrict anything. I am fine with letting anyone message me, or send friend requests. I never report anyone for anything.
I hate censorship. I say let people do or say whatever they want, and then deal with it accordingly.

Wow! I totally missed this message. I have no idea why it is set that way. I don’t even know where to look for it! I’ll try to sort it out.

I was reading a book on racing and the author said that, as a rule of thumb, he drives from the peak of the torque curve to the peak of the HP curve. It’s probably a bit obvious, but when you’re looking at the graphs it makes perfect sense, although I’m sure there are tricks for squeezing out a little more time in other ways.

Err no... I wasn't aware of that. Thanks a lot for the invitation! Only problem: If I'm correct the scheduling means that in my region of the world elderly citizens like me are usually asleep 🤣. But I'll take a look for sure!

I might get up in the middle of the night for this one... But the De Tomaso race is pretty late on Saturday night so I make no promises

Eat dinner early, go to bed at 6pm, you know like normal being of a certain age💀just joking around 🍻
BUT there are a few guys I assume are your senior from your region or further. Is that possible? (US public school) anyway this is blatant pure Peer pressure but in the highest regard 🍻

Well maybe the race schedule synchronizes with one of the instances where I have to get up from bed to relieve myself anyway 😜

I come by sometimes. Usually I miss the bonus races because I try and leave at 4pm. But if I get up and race.instead of racing all night it might work
 
MW2 open beta delayed me this week but I finally got into some racing at Daytona today. Super fun. A lot of carnage but also some very close racing and the two often go hand in hand. Of the seven races I did today, two of them ended up in photo finishes. Mere thousandths separating us.
 
I did 3 races on Monza last night and there weren't a lot of players participating. The last race had 3 finishers including myself, from an initial field of 10. I stopped playing after that.

How difficult would it be to have a proper Blue Flag icon for overtaking slower cars,especially when pit stops are involved and you are low B/S at the back of the field with A+ and A drivers.I use radar and rear view all the time but a big blue flag would also give me time to get an indicator on,get off the racing line, get out of the way and also let the faster driver know that he/she knows that you know they are coming through and can overtake safely.Is it just me being old school or would it help the game?
 
Is anyone else having trouble staying connected in daily races? The last couple of days I'll be in a qualifying session waiting for the race to start, it'll start, but leave me in the qualifying session where I'm still able to drive around. I've restarted the PS5, cleared the cache, and rebooted the router but it's still happening... Anyone have any suggestions?

Not sure I follow mate, you should only be getting a blue flag if you're being lapped, and if you are being lapped you're ghosted anyway.

I don't want a blue flag waving just because the car behind is a higher DR, that's absurd.

I know that I get a warning message on my screen if I’m about to get lapped. It’s not an actual blue flag, but same principle. Some tracks actually have the blue lights and flags, but that’s in single player mode. I don’t know if they do that in sport mode.

Am I in the wrong here? Dude had a good pop at me afterwards :lol:

Felt like I had the line to be honest, reaction was uncalled for

You could have maybe moved a bit more to the left, but I don't see any malicious intent, so it's just a racing incident.
Like Famine said, it may have looked bad from the other person's perspective, but whatever. Let them be mad.
You know the truth. :)

Incidents like these keep happening at the busstop this week. You often end up arriving there side by side. Usually I just slot in behind at the very last moment in the hope they’d take too much speed into the corner. And then I can overtake them going out of the busstop onto the banking.

Have been getting P4 for the fourth time in a row now. Got promoted to DR B/SR S again just now. That will probably mean I’ll be fighting for P8/9 instead now. But even those are just such rewarding races.

Quick question, I’ve driven 55 sports races currently. But the trophy did not pop yet for getting to 50. Is it bugged for anyone else?
 
Am I the assh*le here? Some context...

Started 11th and he was way ahead of me. Lap 2 I overtake him cleanly after he goes wide and I'm in 8th. About 3 corners later, he out-brakes himself and I drop to last after he hits me onto the grass. Didn't see him again until the last lap. I was NOT looking for any revenge whatsoever!

I get myself up to P13 and I notice he had damage at the end of Sector 1. I try to pass the entire time before the bus stop but he was constantly weaving. I get on the inside of the corner and he swipes into me. We both probably could have braked a bit before but I stick my nose in.

He blamed me in the lobby after but I didn't reply and left as couldn't be bothered.. At least I ended in the same position as I started, considering i went from 11th to 8th to 16th and finished 11th again, I'm not upset...

I wish the physics and BoP system were consistent enough for more than a few cars to be competitive. I hate having to resort to the meta when there are a hundred other cars that can be used/tuned to the right specs.

There will always be a meta car. No matter how many changes they make people will always find the meta car even if the advantages are very very small. It happens in all competitive games.

True.
But if the same car is meta all the time, something is out of kilter. It means a car is OP and should be gently nerfed.

But you'd still end up with the same car being meta, until you cycle theiugh everything and end up at the start but slower.
 
Race A man, if someone is behind you going into the Lesmo's you know exactly what's about to happen, just shove you off into the dirt. Really frustrating.

What region and DR? Everyrace I have run has been clean but that's EMEA and B/S

Race C is not much better in that regard...

No seriously, I just drove my one and only Race C for this week. I just wanted to drive cleanly behind the pack, to gain SR points and get my S rating back. But surprisingly I was P2 on the grid, which instigated my competitive nature 🤣, so I couldn't help myself and went racing.
Anyway, I tried to avoid any risk and trouble, let others pass, and still ended up fighting for a podium in lap 8. That's when the usual stuff happened: got rear-ended in the bus stop by some punk whom I had overtaken twice, both times when he had spun, who seemed to have that taken personally and had been flashing his damn lights all the time... he then immediately quit (penalty?), and I found myself in P6. In the final lap, I tried to avoid another car which had spun in the infield, despite he was ghosted (l'm an idiot) and went lawnmowing. P8, and when P9 squeezed past me on the exit onto the banked sector, I saw red. Enough humiliation 😆. I took the position back by going side-by-side with him before bus stop and then completely missing my brake marker and sliding straight through the chicane across the grass. Was able to catch it and drive on, surprisingly got no penalty, won another position on the finish line because another driver served a penalty. P7 in the end, and indeed I got my SR back to S. Don't know how 😎.
Phew... enough Daily race excitement for a senior citizen in a single week.🤣
