We never seem to do the same races anymore. I hope we can meet up at the back of race B, at some point, this week. 👍“VICTORY IS MINE”
That’s what just came out (loudly) after winning an A race just now! Score one for the good guys!
Five clean in a row, it finally paid off!
I narrowly escaped death when I slipped by first place on the penultimate lap and the kart behind sideswiped the previous leader wide right approaching the laps final hairpin. He went spinning in the grass full brake careening towards the apex unghosted and missed me by a millimeter as I cried no joy and dove towards the hard deck with a MIG on my six.
I’d love to say my supreme skill got me this win, but lap one the four karts leading tangled and in that moment I just drove straight through them.
The final lap I’d love to say I stretched a gap but it was more like I got banged around like a pinball and somehow being in their way they shoved me to the lead...
Frankly my dears, I don’t care!!!
It just goes to show the sun even shines on a dogs rear, sometimes.
I had some wild driving while trying to win a race yesterday. Some of you might need a laugh, so here you go.
Aliens!Why do people write massive posts about the epic feats they've just achieved rather than just posting the video.
Do you people seriously find it fun never being able to get those trophies for wins/poles? That you keep losing and coming in places that aren’t first
I think I’d feel more at peace regarding GT Sport if they didn’t have the trophies and in-game achievements for total wins, poles, and consecutive clean races. I think I’m influenced too much by them - the pressure they exert on me is admittedly my own fabrication. I do feel like given my stats, I do better in FIA races, as I’d say my ratio of wins and poles to total races is better when you just look at FIA races.
But I wish there were other tournaments, too, with other motifs, like they do in the Pokemon games. Whatever.
Do you people seriously find it fun never being able to get those trophies for wins/poles? That you keep losing and coming in places that aren’t first, unless you exploit the system? I sometimes don’t get why people play competitive videogames at all, where there’s any sort of ranked matchmaking system or whatever. Life is competitive and stressful as it is, (with or without the impact of Covid-19) I don’t know if I need that cut-throat attitude invading my hobbies, too. Sometimes it makes me snap and I just wannt start breaking things, even if I never actually follow-through.
It’s not even like I’m ever gonna be paid for being good at GTS, and I’ll never be at a World Tour event as a competitor, so why bother? I don’t live and breathe GT. I got other games I wanna play and other hobbies. I got basic stuff that I haven’t figured out yet. I don’t have the time or patience to become one of the best players of Gran Turismo in the world, FOR FREE. Or become the best at any video game, for that matter. There’s always gonna be someone better than me, so I give up. It’s not like somebody’s paying me to practice and rise through the ranks. It’s all for nothing. I’d say competitive videogames, speaking from personal experience, are a true waste of time, or at least they might be for me. I just get angry that I lose a bunch of times in a row and never seemingly see any self-improvement pay off.
Maybe I just need some time to cool off and do something else until I feel better, yeah. Or maybe I’m viewing it all wrong - that I keep trying to escape my depression via videogames, and I shouldn’t be playing competitively until I feel more content with my life. Right now, I don’t feel in control, even before Covid shut things down. I feel like success is largely just luck and circumstance beyond anybody’s control, so there’s no point in working hard, because it doesn’t work. And I suppose that viewpoint that I want to run from is what leads me to get angry when I lose in competitive videogames. Because it feels like a reminder that I’m not in control and never will be. So I think I get tempted to ruin races and break things as a way to compensate for this perceived lack of control, even if I never actually do lose self-control and ruin races or break things.
Definitely take a break if it is getting too much or frustrating. I have times where it seems crap but I will push for a bit to get good races even if I am just mid pack. I also vent and vege going for other games and hobbies if I feel it getting too serious. Hell, stupid junk like Goat Simulator, lego games or turbo chase horizon is great for turning off the brain and truly escaping. I dunno, working on a puzzle and a sci-fi book to vege off the racing too.I think I’d feel more at peace regarding GT Sport if they didn’t have the trophies and in-game achievements for total wins, poles, and consecutive clean races.

Lol I’m getting hit EVERY time because some racer has ZERO awareness
It’s ok though I like A race even if it’s dirty
time for tcs you ingrate lol
And c race it is brake checked him uselessly out of anger no more S.
I get that you wanna level up, but when I move inside approaching turn one the answer is take the bloody racing line not ram me under braking and give me a pen.
I’m sr A now jerk!
At times, I should just stick to the FIA races. There is more to lose and genuinely, players know they'll get called out. At least in Nations, it's just Australia & New Zealand only. So, if something happens...
he just made the listI entered my first B race with no qualifying or practice. I figured I'd just learn as I go. That's common for me on Mondays.
I wasn't doing very good or very bad. On the last lap I caught up to someone who crashed. I was careful not to run into him.
He decided to pull a dick move on the final straight.
Obviously he'll be learning a hard lesson, when I see him again. If any of you guys see him first, make sure to give him a 5 knuckle hello from me.
Been running the Cayman and having a good time, clean racing mostly.How has Daily Race B been treating you all? I'm thinking of doing a couple races there this week.

What Brake Balance should I use in time trial for Daily Race B on Megane Trophy '11?![]()
I only did 3 races there yesterday. I like the combo.How has Daily Race B been treating you all? I'm thinking of doing a couple races there this week.
what an asshole moveI entered my first B race with no qualifying or practice. I figured I'd just learn as I go. That's common for me on Mondays.

Dude, you’ve been going on about these trophies for a long ass time now, just tank your stats and get the trophies already, it’s not that hard. Then you can rebuild the stats with trophies in tact and never have to think about it again. 👍
Edit: I meant this in the nicest way possible, I’m not trying to pick at you here. Sorry if it came across that way.
Ruh Roh Raggy. Looks like @Groundfish is heading for a psychotic break ......aga
