How do you think you should win the race?

Okay does anyone else have a problem with this come in first place to win method? Shouldn't the winners be determined by the total times of the laps.

I mean come on seriously doesn't it just make the AI seem stupid to lose when you start last and they start in first, that's like a 10 second lead blown.

It's the same way in the real world unless your competing in time attack or drifting. Whoever comes in first takes the win.

I never liked how I started last in a race that didn't allow qualifying in gt4. However, in many less competetive club races in real life, the "top seeds" start last to make the race more interesting.
the whole lap time thing should be incorperated, i agree on that. Thats what rally racing is. But for some reason the rally races *from what i remember) are based on a placing system, not lap times....tisk tisk. Polyphony should change it

GT never did follow the traditional Rally format, and neither did Sega Rally. But I do prefer to race against another car, not the clock. If Kaz decides to make Rally clock based, I'll go with it though.

As for regular road races, it is a little different this time, as you start in the middle of the pack. I like that too. It gives me a sense I've accomplished something to beat seven others - or more, if I mess up - to win a race.

i think racing should be according to what the norm is for that kind of racing. rally should be time trials rather than races for position. and road races should be for position.

the whole point is that you are at the back of the field and you need to catch up. maybe be good to add qualifiers in all races and improve the AI instead of the old/current format though.

GT5 is a console driving game.

If you want the full race experience, might wanna go buy a copy of GTL for $9 instead.
