I have been doing a lot of race C this week and it's been super clean There have been a few turn 1 incidents with people braking too late but no contact at all on the Nordschleife. From what I've seen people have accepted you can only overtake on the GP circuit and straight so don't try anything too brave.In BS it is at least as dirty. I always get rammed off the track in the bends after entering the Nordschleife. Everybody wants to overtake a few cars there before it goes into the fast part. Maybe some have problems to switch from the wide GP course to the narrow Norschleife. But in general, many are very dirty and over-motivated. More than half of the drivers have no qualifying time. I guess many of them do not know the track well at all. It takes some time to know the long Nordschleife. They try to compensate for this lack with extreme aggressiveness. For such a thing the Nordschleife is however the wrong place. The consequence of this are many mistakes and dirty maneuvers. But in a sense, the Nordschleife favors that too. Due to the usually nearby walls and crash barriers, these drivers lose little time on excursions next to the track. Thus, an aggressive behavior for them then appears advantageous again. Vehicle damage would probably work wonders here. At the latest after the 5 destroyed race, these drivers would either rethink or avoid the race.

Bro. What are the odds of this happening twice, with both times being .002 seconds apart?

Haha thank you. Makes me really happy to know that people are finding the guides useful.Have I added you on PSN yet?
Yesterday I definitively lost faith in human intelligence.
I was doing the N24 race to get my SR up by starting last and going slow to get a clean race with no stop.
1st thing I noticed is how many people don't know the track at all and crash everywhere, but they still try to pass you anywhere.
1st race went like this : (DR B SR B) I started 14th, let few people pass me in the straight and then started going to my speed. by the time I enter on the Nord track, I had passed 3 people that crashed. One guy catches up with me in in the fast section (was saving fuel, SS + fuel map 2 so I can do my second lap full speed), i let him go, and he crashes at aremberg...smh. similar things happened again with other guys I passed afterwards.
2nd race, everything went well, i think I finished 5th or 6th with 12 positions gained but still not a clean race.
3rd race. Starting 18th, One DR D SR S, in front of me one swedish (DR C SR B) behind (matchmaking was weird)
I say in the chat "don't push me, If you are faster I will let you pass".
First turn, the DR D SR S guy brakes early, let the inside open, I also let the inside open and try to pass him on the outside so that the swedish can get the inside... This idiot decided to try to pass between both of us instead of going on the inside which we left wide open...
Later, the swedish catches up again while I was stuck behind a weaving polish, bump me while I was not accelerating on the right of the track and leaving a huge gap for him to pass...
This kind of stuff happened during all the races, I still managed to get my SR S back without losing too much DR but some people really need to get their brain checked
Hope next week is the SF19. Love this thing.

Wow! Suzuka next week, if it's with SF I think it might be fun thou.
Unless PD makes the setup like every other car in game... I mean understeer, as much as possible![]()
Last night I did some qualifying laps with the M6, and was struggling. The car itself was fine, but I kept making mistakes, which lead to more mistakes as the level of frustration went up, so I gave up and went and acted like a hooligan in the Gt lounge, bought a new car and took a rest because my hands were unhappy. After midnight I did DTSII a couple of times from the back with the M4. The car was awesome, but the field was not. starting from the back, it was Huracan city with mostly a DR/B grid. Each race I gained a few places, but after 2 races only gained 2SR and lost about 900 DR. One more race and it's down to DR/D again.
They must have done a few tweaks with the update. I did one lap qualifying with the M6 tonight and I had this thing dancing. I was cornering and changing gears without really registering it was happening. At the end of the lap I was 5s faster than my M3 time, and that had taken me 6 laps to do. Kinda hope they don't screw everything up with the next update.
Major.Hello racers, due to vacation and my PS+ that has expired, i see that there's an update today. Just have my PS+ renewed and updated the game. I would like to ask if there are significant changes to some things, or is it just a minor update? Grtz
Wow, what is this?Ok. I'm venting.
The Nurburgring (24hr) appeared in this game with GT5. That's 2010. Now, let's forget for a moment that the Nurb showed up in GT in 2005. Let's forget that it was in Tourist Trophy. Let's focus on 2010.
it's 2019.
How in the (I'm censoring myself) is it possible, that in NINE YEARS since the introduction, or even in the 18 months since GTS was released, people STILL cannot clue in to STOP for the first corner? Does it come as a shock EVERY TIME? And how does that work exactly? "Hmmmm....I wonder what's at the end of this pit straight. There should be a corner around here somewhere. I vaguely recall...OH THERE IT IS!"
SCREEECH!!! BOOOM!! CRASH!! SCREEECH!!!
it's the start of a 17+ minute race and this is the FIRST thing that you need to do after the start, because you are already on the throttle before the race starts. ONE job. Don't crash at the FIRST CORNER. Never mind that there are constant reminders to NOT CRASH AT THE FIRST CORNER.
Also "I hate this track" is the sentiment that should indicate to yourself to not participate in this event. I'd go so far as to say that if your qualifying time is more than 8:25, consider trying again. Consider a little practice so that you know where the corners might be. At 8:30+...just don't. Try again. I actually respect the folks with no time a little more because they know that they will gain positions through the mistakes of the others.
Yes, yes, I know, it's a big track with a lot of corners, but it's also an iconic track that should be somewhat known to anyone who likes racing, in the same way that people who love the NFL know who Joe Namath is, or how soccer fans know Diego Maradona. This is a track for the faithful. Only the faith need apply. Or, just learn the FIRST CORNER!
But seriously...NINE YEARS...NINE.....YEARS. ....9......
So, for those who haven't qualified at the front of the pack, just wait. Hang back. Benefit from the failure of others. If there was ever a track that did not have a "golden lap" this is the one. If someone is ahead of you, they are better than you. If someone is 10 seconds faster in qualifying, dive bombing them is not the tactic to take. This is a race craft track. Pace yourself. Conserve your fuel.
Oh, and if you are pitting for tires and fuel, you are doing it wrong. This is a NO STOP race. Going for broke and a 1 stop strategy is just annoying. I understood this happening on Monday. We didn't know. I made that same mistake, but, it's now Thursday. If you aren't on the front row, 1 stop isn't going to benefit you.
Oh, and stop for the first corner.
I feel better now....somewhat

@Voodoovaj Monza has been featured since the first grand prix circuit on PC in 1988, it's a short track, easy to remember and we all know how that goes on here
Memories
lol that bump drafting
