Hope its five minutes when I try tonight. I was annoyed last night I had five minutes left to enter the Suzuka race so I thought Id have a lap or two qualifying and I kept on going. I assumed the game would at least notify of the race time about to start and let me choose to join one but it let me drive on. Missed the race entry and had to wait and gave up. This stuff should be rapid fire....

It's similar to real life. In my FR-S (86), if you were to turn the trac off and do a drop clutch launch at 7k rpm, you'd go nowhere (but to the tire shop).
Each car will have a different launch point, and the Miata and 86 are the best cars to start with due to being RWD.
(you could also cheat - use TCS 1 or 2 to launch, and once you're off the line set it down to 0)

Avoid Northern Isle like the plague. Blue Moon is really the circuit they should've chosen for that NASCAR-style circuit. It's large enough that it allows cars to spread out where there isn't really that much chaos.

Im not sure of the line but they have a cone option. It gives you a good reference point of where to brake and where the turn in points are

Yea, Northern isle is shit for SR, no matter how careful you are that circuit will give you a red SR.

Driving fast on Northern Isle is stupid hard with a full grid!
Great post. Regardless of what racing game you play today, he helped build the genre and paved the way for many others.

Kind of figured this was the point of doing a closed and open beta.... I could have told you in the first 15 seconds of playing the closed beta, that having three ~15 minute races available once per hour is not the way to go.
Thanks for sharing. People seem to lose trust in the guy at the helm of GT, I'm more than willing to put faith in people who have a genuine passion and skill for motorsport when something unique is done in the racing game genre.
Big respect for everyone behind both GT *and* Assetto Corsa.

Yeah I wonder how long its going to take before I dont give a fuck about the SR rating anymore. If it takes this much effort to rank up and a single race to drop, then probably not long.
Only for those who have PS+
(I know, GTS without PS+ doesn't make much sense, but....)

Are they worse than the shit sack Fisherman's Village one before them? The worst was I was passing the last two cars right before the finish line. One car just pushes me into the barrier for no god damn reason on the straight away, -2 seconds, finish with 9 seconds left when gold was finish with 10 or more. I rather drive a Diahatsu around the Nordscliefe stuck in 1st gear than drive another second of rally in GTS.
I have the last three of 8 to do tonight, then just circuit challenges which are easy and them I am done with campaign.

Hate the oval races.
I guess that would impact those who use PS+ as a sub/family account. ie. my son's account doesn't upload since it's my account who has PS+ so his profile/saves are only local.
The cars driving through various scapes in the dealership menu with the music playlist is one of the classiest presentations ever in a racing game.

Not knowing how long you have played for it seems the first few races penalise you harsher than once you have been playing for a while, I was A when I started and got dropped down to C in two races and there was very little impact in either of them (took about 4 races to get up to B). I have had races since where there have been harder touches and still got a blue rating at the end. Closed circuits should be avoided at all costs if you care about your SR.
Yeah, they are endurance races.
Got silver on the oval and Interlagos races. Shit is tough.
Haven't tried the last one, but I expect the same.

Honestly in a year or two nobdy will give a shit.
There will be enough info to generate an acurrate driver rating and one or two bad races won't be enough to change it.
Just race people.
Do you brake like a grandma and hog the road?

You can enter the event and put in qualifying laps from there. So when the time's up, you'll automatically be put in the race.

Because seemingly nobody has managed to make a truly algorithmic way to determine fault that always works or that can't be easily exploited and griefed. Not to say they can't refine it over time as they analyze data.

Hm, I wonder if pit/tire/fuel strategy will be key. Typically if you drive clean, you will always be faster than the AI. I know you are quick too cause you are always toward the top of friends list.
Happened a lot more frequently in the demo. Theyve tweaked it some, and with time it'll get better

As promised, the YT video of last night's cracking race @ Nordschliefe!

Still down at my end.
Not very reassuring.
I just wish I could feel safe about shutting the game. Or continue playing it.

Much prefer that 5 min spacing. Works really well.

Just play the damn game and make up your own mind. Don't like it go trade it in whilst you can get your money back.
No body can tell you that. If you like the game then you are going to be irked towards people saying no. If you don't like the game you will think people saying yes lied to you and you wasted your money.
Open it and pop it in your PS4.

You really are at a big disadvantage on that final straight if anyone is in drafting distance of you. That is unless you start blocking the inevitable overtake attempts.
Thats a good way to lose SR
Isn't that true in real life as well?
I just closed the game as I could not reconnect. After starting it up again I could. Not exactly reassuring I needed to boot the game up again to get a connection.
No, Ive had people aggressively check me from the side and I got docked SR
I don't play racing games, especially not any GT game and I found a lot of enjoyment out of this.
I woke up at 4 this morning after not being able to sleep and put in 6 hours of driving and I had a blast learning the basics, tracks, and online races were super fun.
That's just me though. I don't have a well of experience to draw from. The biggest thing I like is the presentation though, it's just so classy but fun.
Wow thanks for sharing. The tow is real.
I'm really not here to sell anyone on a game. You've read the impressions and the reviews, if you're still on the fence, return it.
That was really nice. A perfect draft at the end for the win!
Currently its not possible to make a system that can assign blame reliably.
Comparison of speed? What if the car in front brake-checks you and you ram into him? Its his fault, you were faster, you were behind.
There are situations were it is obvious, but there are a lot of situations were its a gray area.
The important thing is that good drivers will always have cleaner races in the long run, and people who always crash on the first corner will never have a good Rating.
The solution in iRacing for intentional crashing is that it can get you banned, there is a real person that goes through every incident that gets reported and determines wether it was intentional or just a racing incident.
