Anyone lose a race yet?

[GT5 Level 41]

I just noticed my stat page has me at a 100% win rate. That first loss is gonna suck.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Yup, lost about 3-5 times, can't remember the exact number. I suck at driving though.

 

[Ferrari458Italia]

does it count licenses and coffee breaks?? if so, yeah I have some losses

 

[laserviper3]

About 10 or so but I'm a probally below average driver and 6 of them came on the karts 125 and 2 on the international b final races at Bathurst where the FXX nailed the tail of my SLS GT3 sending it spinning and another at high speed ring where I got slamme between the LFA and the F40 losing control

 

[MockngBrd]

My 86 "race" lost to an NSX a few times.

 

[JogoAsobi]

I lost a few times on the "Like The Wind" event, until I figured out the right drafting strategy...

The other thing the game does is keep track of how many times you hit something, even if its just slight brush.

A lot of times I will quit events mid-way and restart if I bump or brush the AI by accident, until I can do it completely clean.

Its mostly an issue when I use the TH8RS and manual clutch because turn-in and braking are a bit trickier.

So I got a little trophy telling me that I had been hitting a lot of stuff, even though I had quit mid-race on any contact and restarted the race.

I am sure the bumper car crowd must have gotten this trophy, but they're not talking about it.

I've lost about one third of my races but I purposely choose underpowered cars to make it a close race. I also turned off HUD and ABS today and that led to a few loses.

 

[Maddens Raiders]

I just noticed my stat page has me at a 100% win rate. That first loss is gonna suck.

Through how much of the game? I'm a decent driver and yes I've lost some races, like 🤬 'n up on the last lap at Matterhorn or Panorama and spinning out of control only to have a rabbit blow past me. Try using more challenging cars and PP in the career races, and try some coffee breaks challenges ... they're not races, but you will lose more than once.

 

[Nielsen]

Yes, I struggle to get past the Sunday Cup.

Intentionally, I haven't made much progress yet but the Grand Valley East race in the Amateur class took a couple of attempts to win.

 

[LeadFootLiam]

Last time I check I only had one lose. Which is ridiculous.

 

[OutspokenFlunky]

I just passed 200 races and have 143 wins. I run underpowered cars all the time to make it fun. I really don't care how many I win or lose. I do know at one point I was winning 97% of the time. That was when I decided to run all races with at least 70 PP lower than the even maximum. I'm not sure if it also tracks your online races but I know I have lost a good amount because I am always testing tunes.

 

[Falango]

I'm in the same boat as Outspoken. I've been running 520PP cars in 600PP races, 430PP cars in 500PP races, because it's way more fun. It's more of a challenge, and I don't win em all, but it's better than just blasting passed them all on the first lap.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

I just noticed my stat page has me at a 100% win rate. That first loss is gonna suck.

And how many times have you re-started races in which you were going to lose.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

I've lost many races, mainly due to driver errors or a horrible setup for the car, or simply the fact that the person I was racing against was just better than me. I just shrug it off and move on.

 

[MockngBrd]

Hard to get golds on missions too

 

[Lubsdadubs]

Damn prius race took me ten tries, finally got it 3 100ths.... Winning by a nose was the most satisfying win

 

[Rzeractor]

Haha for some reason I'm insanely competitive with GT, i will restart races if I don't win. I like seeing that 100% win rate ;P

Mind you I don't overpower the competition, its just SO frustrating overshooting that final corner on the final lap and coming second D:

 

[TheDabbinDave]

"2nd is the first loser." Yep, I've lost several races, due to having the wrong car, getting PIT'ed, rubber banding, lack of track knowledge.

 

[APIOQM]

This stat is pretty much irrelevant unless you've never restarted or quit a race...

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

This stat is pretty much irrelevant unless you've never restarted or quit a race...

Yep, anybody can have a 100% win rate if they keep restarting races in which they were going to lose. That stat holds no water for me....meaningless.

And yes, I have lost a race or two myself.

 

[Johnnypenso]

Funny, I was just looking at this stat and it turns out I lost 9 races.

 

[Doober]

I have lost races due to AI spinning me out. I swear they do it intentionally!!!!

 

[Wookie963]

I've lost only on Mount Panorama, that track is always soo boring that I get drowsy on the straight... No I'm not kidding.

 

[nascar49]

I think I am at 99% win rate, will check when I play next

 

[Conquerer]

Does this count online though? Cause I had a loss and I don't remember losing any races in single player. I played one online race and ended up quitting it midway through. Not sure if that's the loss or not...

 

[Falango]

This stat would never be talked about if it registered a race restart as an attempt. It's only a topic because the OP has a "100%" win record.

 

[Ghost_Mazal]

Many losses in the licenses and other special events. In career events just 2 so far I think

 

[ironman44321]

I've lost a couple, mostly due to me being too cocky and picking a car I shouldn't have

 

[Johnnypenso]

Does this count online though? Cause I had a loss and I don't remember losing any races in single player. I played one online race and ended up quitting it midway through. Not sure if that's the loss or not...

I don't think it tracks online but not 100% on that. Would be nice to have separate rankings for online and offline along with a combined. 👍

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

I have lost several so far but then I like a challenge so I often drive weaker cars sometimes I have a car that just isn't fast enough to win and other times it may be barely fast enough but got bumped or caught some grass in a corner.

Personally I would be bored by now if I won every race, I like having to drive on the edge to win

In fact tonight I was out runnign the 550pp bathhurst event in IA with a few untuned cars that I had yet to drive. I think I ran it 4 times but only one of the cars was fast enough to win and even that one was a good race coming down to the final lap on the long downhill straight where two BWMs where running side by side blocking me from passing so I did a little bit of bump drafting with one of them to get room to squeeze through for the win
