Np. Be prepared to repeat and rage. You really have to be perfect the entire 15 minutes. Luckily it goes quick. When you are in first, be sure to have a driving view with a rear view mirror, i.e. cockpit or bumper. You need to get pretty grimy with the blocking.

My favorite song in the game so far

Feels so surreal while navigating menus and taking pics.

Kaz's love for the Skyline continues. The Gr.3 Nizmo GT3 is so easy to drive. It just flows.

Haha yeah. Those cars gave zero fucks for any lapse in judgment, but god I loved that game. It's why it's hard for me to get inspired by the engine sounds of most modern racing games; the cars in GPL sounded like ravenous banshees.

My god this Civic is a piece of junk. Sounds like a dying cow and maneuvers only slightly better.
It's a fundamental flaw in the physics engine and it effects every car in the game, but most noticeable on FWD cars making them a chore to drive. Softer tyres will make it feel more tolerable but there's nothing you can do about it.
I believe it has something to do with how theyre calculating tyre grip based on weight transfer. It's far too exaggerated and is the reason why FWD (and most 4WD) cars plough understeer the moment you touch the throttle, and the same reason RWD cars go from 'grip-grip-grip' to 'holy-fucking-shit' snap oversteer in an instant.

It's not so bad. It is a perfect bait car for noobs. Set brake bias toward the rear, use a little TBO and own fools.

Shout out to Niks and JamboGT for keeping the leaderboards honest for the campaign stuff. Been fun having a bench mark to go for.
the wheel wont constantly vibrate
Fun game. Shitty car list. I don't know what it is, but the driving is so.. pleasurable. I didn't even notice you couldn't mod cars till last night after I tried to play exhausted and drunk. There seems to be very good balance with the matchmaking daily events. In usually a time trial driver myself. Looking forward to this corvette contract thing next month.
I take it im not going to unlock cars, and it is what it is? Feels so weird. Been playing since gt1. The sounds are great, the driving is superb even with the controller. It's challenging and feels so good when you're just coasting on the edge of traction and hitting your lines. Turning off tc is night and day. Seconds just peel off.
I hope the car packs are free, though. I was all excited that I had 300k. But really, the game provides you with all the cars you'd need. It seems...I feel like there's no point to the money anymore.

Putty has been up there too, so shout out to him also - really good benchmark for me. We really need to throw our PSN usernames into that Google Spreadsheet - quite sure that the majority of Gaf has some very respectable times.

Deleted, probably wait for a proper topic.
Set it up
Tokyo Expressway
10 Lap Race.
Karts only.
Race order based on qualification time
Room ID: 0474-6201-7144-9779-0020
I set penalties for wall collisions and touching others to high as I think that will be the only thing to determine the race, outside of qualification time.
Haven't bothered buying GT this time, but I'm glad it's seemingly turned out better than I expected. I've just been watching a video of the livery editor, and I have to say I wasn't expecting to ever get tyre stickers in a GT game... and yet here we are. Even the sound is vastly improved. Just a shame that PD's penchant for making baffling design decisions it still there. After the problems everyone had with GT5, when that game frequently connected to the net, it's weird why they've gone even further and linked virtually everything to the net.
Hope they bring back Daytona and NASCAR in the future; those were the best online races I ever had in GT5.

Wait, huh? There's rain in challenge 5-2. Like RAIN rain, falling from the sky! How is this not implemented anywhere else? It's obviously there there and not just we're assuming it's there.
I have no idea how I'm ever going to even get one win/pole/fastest lap, lol. Even if I deliberately tanked myself back to E all it would take is one unlucky match with someone better than me in the one race I'd have to do well before being promoted again. Blew my chance here by getting a few wins in the open beta and despite DR carrying over it didn't keep track of race stats. I ended up mid-B in the closed beta, so away from the majority but too slow to be competitive among anyone who actually know what they're doing.

The simplest line of code....don't give prize car duplicates...why is this a thing?

I've done a few in Sport mode and gone as far as setting a representative lap time on the Northern Isle Speedway, but not really into the tracks they have up at the moment. So I've been meddling with the SP stuff and trying to get good with the Livery Editor. I kinda wish they had put up Lake Maggiore or Dragon Trail for Gr.3 instead of the oval. Hell, even BB Raceway would have been good enough.
Count me in for this. PSN is ARusling
Edit to save double posting: Received my T300RS last night and after an hour or so really got to grips with the handling. For some reason, the steering motion seems so much smoother than on my TX.
And I also hate to admit it being a massive Forza fan, but GT Sport pisses all over Forza 7 in terms of feel for the road and general driving enjoyment IMO. I'm hooked.

It most defiantly was, one of the best online races i've had in any game tbh.
I think the online lobbies are also a good intermission until they have a nice daily in sport mode (sometime next week LOL)

must be the maple syrup they drink every day
I qualified at 57.643. I ran one race and thought maybe I'd have a chance at my first pole. Nope, four of the top six in my heat were in the Top 10 Stars leaderboard.

I'm in SR C rank and just had a race on Suzuka with two E's in there. That's bullshit, you should never be in a race with SRs two ranks below. And they were acting like E's too, trying to ram people off the road. I finally got tired of the shit of the AMG who was plowing into me and "accidentally" bumped him off the track on the first turn. I thought I was getting a demotion for sure, but ended up somehow with a blue SR. The GT gods smiled upon me.
Somehow despite all that chaos I went from 14th to 6th, so I'll take that as a good sign to stop for the day.
I just want some clean races, I'm tired of this bumper car shit.

People shouldn't overlook the "custom race" in the arcade section.
You can set all the rules and regulations of the race, and that will adjust the credits/exp you get. Which place you start from, fuel, tyre, restrictions on cars, different levels of penalties, etc. It probably helps explain some of the online rules too if you check out the descriptions.
I didn't complete the race below because that would be crazy but it shows the extremes you can set up and the credits it's worth.
On screen before and after the race, there is a quick menu which allows you to change your car for the race, some of the penalties, and the time of day.
You can also change the course from this menu, meaning you can keep changing the location and race under similar conditions for eternity, each race accumulating more credits and experience.
It's not a replacement for a career mode, but it can replicate damn close what you would expect from a "typical" GT (never the most inventive career modes).
It's a shame you can't quick change number of laps/difficulty level in the quick menu, or save your custom race options (which you can do in lobby mode).

57.8, I reckon close to 56 is possible with a bit of time and effort.
Seems like i am the only one who doesn't mind the civic, it feels fine to me!

Would absolutely love to do a 24hr race when they bring in mid-game saves. Or even do some online if they patch in driver swaps.
Mid-game saves?! Why not re-live the 24 hour Nordschleife race on GT4 and leave the game paused overnight?

Yup did the 1 hr Maggiore endurance run as soon as I finished its circuit experience, imo best way to complement and apply what you learned.

Yeah, agreed. I just realized I got a double for my daily today as well. At least selling it credits would ease some of the disappointment.

How many actual hours is the 24 hour race? I'd assume it's pretty limited so people don't get blood clots or heart attacks.
Can anyone explain what the rhythmic thumping is while driving on Tokyo Expressway?
Do you mean the arcade race shown above? It's 24 real length hours.
Yes and Yes, plus a wheel.
I just had a LaFerrari, a Viper GT3 and some LMS prototype in my daily workout prize car pot and what I get? A fucking Mito. /killme
I'm at 57.2 with controller and TC 0. But also no chance for pole or even daring an attack at top3 in race.

I was sceptical of them actually managing to emulate what iRacing does best and bring it to the consoles because PD seemed the wrong developer to do it right, but they actually did it. Surprising considering Polyphony Digital was always behind everyone else in regards to trying to implement new ideas, and now they are at the vanguard on the console space.
The online experience is by far the best racing experience ever on consoles. They actually managed to decrease the amount of punting and ramming on track just by having a fucking letter after your PSN ID. I had a race around Brands Hatch yesterday where I started 6th (middle of the pack is always a guaranteed wreck at turn 1 in other racing games) finished 3rd, overtook 5 cars and was overtaken 2 times and finished with a clean race medal. Never touched for the entire 4 laps which is incredible. What a marvellous experience, you can put the AI in the bin if I can just race like this forever. The oval race is a mess because pack racing is almost impossible to be clean especially when you are lapping cars without blue flags (they need to implement that) but I can still gain SR on that if I start on the first 3/4 cars.
On the other hand, they really need to keep looking at iRacing and create a larger rotation of daily races (and actually rotate them daily) and actually have 1 endurance race in there. Imho they should have at least 5 events on all the time, 3 should be shorter like the ones, one should be medium duration with tyre wear and one should be endurance racing (~45min) with everything turned on.
could be the seams between road sections?
Expansion joints in the road?
24 actual hours!
Mid-game saves?! Why not re-live the 24 hour Nordschleife race on GT4 and leave the game paused overnight?
You know, I never actually did that for fear of my PS2 exploding in the middle of the night. Looking back now, those things were solid.
Ridges in the road I assume.
Manual, TC set to 2,and a pad.
