All,

Recently took the plunge with Sport mode and have to say it's brilliant. Briefly tried online racing with GT5P and 5 but hated it, and completely ignored it in GT6. It's so much better in GTS and the matching system is good and SR reasonably effective (but very frustrating also).

I've advanced to DR/B SR/S within 4 days but feel DR/B is about my limit. I don't think I could keep pace with good DR/A drivers. This is quite surprising as there seems to be a much bigger jump between my skill level and the alien drivers, compared to previous instalments of the game. I've never been up there but in GT academy events I never felt as was as far away from the top drivers as I do now. Is this anyone else's experience? Watching DR/S replays, the skill level is genuinely impressive. Is it improvements in the game/physics, hardware, or what? Why is the top level in this game so much greater than before, or am I wrong?

Having spent ridiculous amounts of time on the dailies in the last 4 days, and already starting to plateau, I'm now looking at lobbies, but don't know where to start. How do I go about getting involved in them? I can't see any sort of guide in the forum but please point me in the direction if I've missed it.
 
With the online lobbies I use the filters down the left, GR3 and BOP on, then I check the rooms setting to make sure boost is off.

If you are wanting to find equally paced racers, make sure you choose a track you are good at initially, race clean and fair within your limit until you get to know the cars around you, apologise for any errors, and give back places you gain unfairly as accidents will happen.
You will be bombarded with friend requests from equally minded drivers and then you can select friends only in the filter - so if you already have like minded friends, they have found the room for you already.

Ideally you will find friends who host rooms and who kick idiots from the room, makes for quick finding rooms to race.
 
Gr.3, BOP=ON, Fuel usage over 2x just makes it best to stick at map 6 and bomb round slowly using little fuel, so stick to fuel usage 1 or 2x lobbies. Tyre usage is similar, higher X makes things like skidding a couple of times race ending, I'm also not convinced on how tyres work, say, RSS heavily worn vs RS part worn, RSS seems to still be faster. So I stick to 1 or 2x tyres too.

Oh and SLIPSTREAM REAL, god I hate it on strong.
