Sidenote: how are you guys getting those lovely victory screenshots onto GTP? I would like to gloat like you on these rare occasions ^.^

I just take a picture of my television.

Suzuka next week sounds interesting....

In that case I suppose these will do... I sometimes wonder if I won't be believed

Well well well boys, it all paid off.

Matched to a C lobby in 2nd in the Mustang. Eeeexcept then I got disconnected. Debated leaving it there but that was my highest grid slot of the week so no, god damn it, I'm racing.

Joined as soon as entry started and immediately got on with hammering some MAXIMUM ATTACK laps in the ol' Stang. First lap I completely changed my line down the hill, braking way later and working the gears down slowly. As i absolutely nailed the braking into the hairpin I thought... This lap might actually be kinda quick... Nailed the last few turns as well and turned in a 2.14.888!

Good for pole in the race - full of all the same guys i was supposed to race before. Four meganes behind me. Swiss chap wished me luck so I returned the favour. As you might expect he was up the inside going in to turn 2. I took daddy @Pigems braking point at the slip road and, thank God, noticed the Swiss Megane dropping back to give us both room to make the corner, so I stomped (fingerstomped?) throttle and kept the lead up the hill.

I suppose my new Swiss friend was counting on catching me on the straight, definitely a decent choice and certainly sportsmanlike move by him which I was happy to see in an Sr B lobby. However, he was definitely not prepared for how quick I was gonna go down that hill. Took my max attack line and come the start of the straight I had nearly 2 seconds in hand. Outta slipstream range. Niiiice.

So I settled in and churned it out. He would naturally chop a bit of time through the straights but I smiled to myself imagining him understeering across the top of the mountain battling three other Meganes.

Pole Position. Fastest Lap, Clean Race, and victory number four baby.

Before the servers went down before

Before servers go down i see where race chat is people left the room then my signal bar goes red and i quit and turned ps4 off. Many experiences where cars vanish off the track and i wont race online when signs the servers are going down start to show. Main reason is last time i was rammed by dr e drivers and i went on the rampage lol

Same here, that’s how I made the lap guides too, cell phone video.

I dont know how to add videos to multi quote lol what i can do is race and fail to upload to youtube and whilst trying to suss it out the next race starts. Two years later . . . .

I wouldn't be so sure of it being a One-Make. It's the N300 group so it will likely be the same group of cars which you could choose from at Suzuka East and Tsukuba previously; Skyline R32, R34, Impreza etc. Grid start with flase start check was also in those races too.

Suzuka - meh.

I'm glad Nurburgring returns, it looks to be the same setup as last time which is nice.



I thought it was a TT Cup fiesta last time.

If using a na powered gr3 car which is the best? Corvette, Mustang, Jaguar, Aston, AMG, Viper, Lexus?

[Redsea666]

Shared the tarmac with @Sven Jurgens yesterday. He passed me in swift order and I used his draft to carry me (until he was too far ahead). Thanks!!!!!

I keep getting A & B lobbies- I am much slower than that. So much so that I'm an obstacle through the Esses as I work on getting them down. In a C/D lobby I'm usually just fine, but yesterday was out to get me.

I can't quit the Lexus. It's the most balanced for me, and stable as an island.

First time posting in the Gran Turismo Sport forum. MaxAttack posted above a picture of his room, where all drivers were C and D DR drivers. I was E DR and was getting A DR drivers? I have raced 12 daily races and currently have a C DR and an S SR, yet get in rooms full of A drivers? My last B daily race, I was given car # 2 in a room with a bunch of A drivers, two of which had 2:12 qualifying times! I'm confused as to this ranking system? At this rate, I will never get another win and be forever known as Mr. 5th place!

Yeah a few other guys seem to be experiencing this. i've been C rank all week and low 2.15s has been consistently pole position. My 2.14.888 is the fastest lap I've seen in a race lobby.

Perks of having been punted down to SR B, methinks. These weird lobbies seem to all be SR S. Perhaps there's a
large percentage of people like me who got bullied last week and have struggled to get back up because the usual SR farm of Race C is a pretty intimidating combo this week.

 

[Pigems]

I just found another tenth in the 86, 0.595 now.



Amazing lap @Mistah_MCA , Wow!!

 

[RadStewart]

Daily Race A Report:

I ran this race twice today. It is an absolute punt-fest.

First round started 4th, the group going into turn 1 slowed much earlier than I anticipated, and i actually was the punter. Caused a chain reaction which sent one car into another, into another. Still 4th for the next 2 laps and then I managed to put the moves on the guys in front of me. Finished first.

2nd race started 2nd with a better qualifier. Didn't matter, I got absolutely launched on turn one and just quit.

Maybe tomorrow...

Welcome. Confused? You've found the right place. We are too.

Next week's races are up

A: N300 - Tokyo Central Outer Loop - 5 laps - Grid start with False start check so most likely one make
B: Gr.4 - Suzuka - 4 laps
C: Gr.3 - Nurburgring 24h - 2 laps - x5 fuel, x7 tyres (RH)

 

[El_Beardo]

So, starting postitons have been weird ever since la Sarthe Gr.3 a few weeks back. I start in the top five for one race, then in the bottom five the next. Then the top five. Then the bottom five.

It's very odd.

Either way, two more races. Started 4th, and 14, respectively.

 

[DisabledRacer]

i've been C rank all week and low 2.15s has been consistently pole position. My 2.14.888 is the fastest lap I've seen in a race lobby.

.

My last B race as a C DR, I started 6th with a qualifying time of 2:14.6! The guy starting in second had a qualifying time of 2:12.xxx in a Corvette! No idea how he did that? Maybe Maybe Polyphony Digital doesn't like disabled Americans?

 

[Lancer_R]

I can't quit the Lexus. It's the most balanced for me, and stable as an island.

Lexus (really toyota), i will give it a try next week. The 2016 or 2017 one? I got both on daily reward one after the other. Only car i have had to buy is a 20 million ford soon as i won all cars i purshased i sold them to get near 20 million again to buy the ferrari or daytona. Upto yet its the daytona for me. Love the Cobra. Usually i buy a 20 million credit car and i win the same one on daily reward and sell one i purshased to repeat LOL

Screenshot, send screenshot to girlfriend's account, save picture to phone from messenger app, upload to imgur, embed link here.

She's going to be pissed when she next signs in to PSN . .

I prefer the '17. They're both good cars, though.

The psn servers went down hours ago, soon as they do most players turn ps4s off and return next day. Youll be getting matched with whoever is online. I aint been online for hours as servers go down, back up again and then they go down again. I leave things to do incase the servers do go down lol

I will try both. Like the style of Lexus gr3 cars. When nurb 24h is on i will spend a full day in different car, lexus is next up to race. One thing i have noticed is the wrx atenza and lancer evo should be same handling as the ft1 and all na powered, gt3 cars should by rule all by na powered to even out the disadvantage turbo lag can give as turbo lag can prove bad on nurb 24hr

Yeah, that one's going to be "interesting" in the NSX. Especially with how sketchy it is on deceleration/braking corner entry.

But, we've got a rather tasty livery for it that needs to see some action. So, it'll be the only car I use.

I skip the third party thing all together and just upload the photos right to GTP/My posts from my phone. There doesn’t seem to be a limit on how many either? Maybe @Famine can fill us in there. On the golf site I frequent there’s is a limit to uploaded pics before you have to start deleting old ones, but I’ve never hit the end of it on GTP yet.

When braking a mr car apply the brake while on the throttle, how you keep them stable. Also try nsx gr4 with brake balance to front by minus two but brake earlier, usually helps the nsx. Mr cars are good but i support the old style of big heavy 4wd sedans vs lightweight ff hot hatches, like real cars people drive in real life and then bmw as no one will ever beat bmw at making touring cars. Bmw this year are doing well at the btcc as bmw themselfs actually help private teams that race bmws. Thats how it should be done

You can drive a different car than you qualify in. He could start in an ice cream truck with 2:12 after qualifying with the Mustang.

Matchmaking went as low today as matching SR.S with SR.B to scrape 11 people in a room during the psn outage. It's more or less back to normal now. There aren't that many A+/S and A/S drivers online so their rooms get filled with whoever else has high SR.

C looks ok. Sven will be happy. A & B are garbage.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 party time.
35 clean races in all GR.3 cars coming up next week.

I almost done with the GR.4 results for Bathurst, going to give a few cars another try since they got severely stuck in traffic both races. I'm happy FF is not ruling the top o my list, I have no affinity with those things, although they're still in the top 10. The Megane is in 6th on my list, horrible thing to drive. It's against my nature to go fast in slow out, and the thing won't steer under acceleration. You'll probably like my nr.1, it's not the Lexus to my surprise.

Yep all is back to normal, full B/S room. I'm giving the trophy another attempt. 2:18.217 best lap won't do.

lol towed by a Veyron (I kept having better exits than him, then the Veyron simply sped up, tried to draft but trophy can't keep up) down to 2:17.654, still the worst.

The only reason I go third party is so that I can delete the screenshots from my phone. It's already full of a good eight billion memes/snake pictures/lizard pictures/cat photos

I understand the theory. I just need more practice in the Gr.3 car. Me and the Gr.4 NSX are getting along very well. So far . .

I do prefer BB 1 to the front, though. Unless there's a downhill braking zone. Then I move it further forward, on the fly.

My bad. I forgot about how you use your fastest time for any car you try. Had he been driving the Viper, I would have instantly known he used another car for qualifying. Anyone racing the Viper in the B race should be required to put the hazard lights on! My problems and questions about the matchmaking have nothing to do with the server issues today, since I have not raced online in a few days.

 

[Pigems]

Just tried the F Type over the Mountain, within a couple laps the optimal drops to 13.1, it drives nicely. I’d like to get into the 12’s at least.

On that note, is FT_NicoR the guys from the world finals? 10.9 is crazy fast!!

Trophy is worse But you don't see anyone using them.

Today was a good demonstration of how matchmaking works with the dwindling user base due to psn outage. It started with A+/S to B/S, then A+/S to D/S then A+/S to D/S with A/B to D/B to keep filling the room. Currently there are enough entries to have multiple high SR.S rooms so now I'm either in a full B/S room or B/S to D/S (my DR is 19K). In an hour or two it will be A+/S to B/S again then A+/S to D/S when it turns to night time.

It's just the luck of the draw. When I qualified on Brands, one race I would start on pole in the 'slow' room, next race I would start 12th in the 'fast' room. That kept going on for a bunch of races since I gained DR in the 'slow' split, then lost it again in the 'fast' split.

Next up all B/S with one C/S in the room. Pole 2:14.2 in the WRX. No Megane!!!

 

[RZQSPEED]

I'm gonna criticise PD's choices for next week. N300 at Tokyo should've been N300 at Nordschleife, then Gr.4 at Suzuka should've been at the GP course of the Nürburgring, and the N24 Race C in Gr.3 cars can be left as is. That way, next week is a full on Nürburgring week to coincide with the N24 race and the World Tour event held there.

I use the '17 I believe. The one that isn't the prototype. Honestly, I'm not sure how different they are. Stats are almost identical.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Might give the RC-F a try next time I feel like a dance across the mountain. Not tonight though, still agitated about last night. Taking a break.
