Well, what do you think?
Looking at the quick drivers in Fuji Gr. 2 (Race C) this week my own feeling is that it's created a driving style far removed from reality. They're top notch *gamers* and will find the quickest route from A to B, but that just exposes the flaws more in my opinion.
Here's how they'll take a corner.
1) Very Hard braking using ABS
2) As soon as turn in point reached fully off the brake, maybe a fraction of trail braking.
3) Coasting basically into apex, using understeer full lock scrub braking of front wheels if running wide.
4) Hit apex with whatever lock is applied to the wheel, snap it off in one straightening front wheels out move.
5) Flat on the throttle in one stab.
The less quick drivers simply struggle with turn in understeer and power on over steer on exit trying to drive "properly" because the low speed tyre model doesn't allow turn in AND braking together (or throttle), and the auto-clutch blipping power on and off at apex together with the non-linear throttle being off/on (binary almost above 50%) and the poor low speed tyre model means it's a lottery if you can smoothly accelerate *out* of the turn with modulating the throttle and "giving the car it's head" steering bleed off into exit line.
For me, this is where lot of the fun is in a driving game. I find it lacking in GTS.
