Grid Autosport (General Discussion)

[ITCC_Andrew]

I am being serious. Just try to take a Civic touring car to Washington Street circuit without breaking the rear loose in T4. Try it.


...that said, I'm adjusting to these strange oversteer physics where it's fast to have a small slip angle, but easy to have a huge slip angle.

The problem is, I normally get the ideal slip angle instantly in a corner. In Grid, I find it nearly impossible to nail it.

I find that with many cars it's better to stay a gear higher in slower corners. Best way to counter the wild oversteer in GAS. I should check out when the game allows me to start adjusting gear ratios in career mode, changing those will help a lot i think.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

You can't adjust them yet?

 

[The Stig Farmer]

You can't adjust them yet?

Yes you can. The higher level teams you race for, the more ability you get to fine-tune them.

So, the lowest teams may not allow you to adjust your vehicle, but the highest level teams will give you full control of the tuning sliders.

 

[mister dog]

Just signed for Cusco racing actually , so yes i have the option finally now.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I've never noticed

 

[mister dog]

Ok tuning options are quite basic, but if you add to both the differential and the front suspension that already tames the Cusco beemer, so i guess this would help a lot for other cars that are twitchy.

If you have a wheel, trailing throttle works quite well to keep the back end in check when it might normally go into oversteer. Same thing works in the GT series. The tuning adjustments are simple but they do work as advertised. If you want to stabilize the car you fiddle with the suspension and LSD and it works.

Yes, the diff setting works great. I lock the diff a bit for open wheel and it makes a huge difference.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I'll keep that in mind. I really struggled with the open-wheel cars; I had to brake and coast before turning in, and it took forever to feed the power back in.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I just saw the trophy for unlocking the International Touring Car Championship.

I usually hate fantasy tracks, but Autosport Raceway gets a big 👍 from me.

Just a suggestion....wouldn't this crest be more fitting for the
GTPLANET RACING team?



Not an exact replica if the GTP logo, but as close as I could get to it...

I think someone mentioned before that it makes it look like we're from Africa.

We're actually from Africa. Just saying.

You're going to get that problem whichever angle you choose. If it focuses on North America, you're going to exclude the Australians. If it focuses on Asia, the South Americans face the same problem.

Since comparatively few of us hail from Africa, using that Africa-centric logo would actually be the fairest way of representing the forums.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

You know, when I heard that CM were trying to create another Grid, I was skeptical... No more

Day 2: Forge Motorsport still hates me.

I personally don't care because I didn't join the club.

Hooked up my wheel for the first time today, I'd been using my DS3 until now when I noticed the throttle was always 20% on. I turned Multiturn on and reduced steering deadzone to 0%, and steering saturation to 45%. Those settings feel decent to me, with Multiturn off it felt as though there was a deadzone and then 100% steering which made the cars super twitchy and felt like I constantly had to steer back and forth.
Multiplayer is as addictive as hell, I haven't touched single player since, which is weird for me. Building up a garage of my own cars (in the GTP livery of course) and maintaining and upgrading them just makes the racing more rewarding. I had to force myself to stop racing today after a huge session, I just kept thinking '1 more race'. Then @Stiggy joined the lobby I was in and we dominated the room with our matching livery Miglias

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Oh my word! I just ran 5 seconds per lap faster than everyone in my online race.


My fastest time was a 1:46, the next fastest was a 1:52!

I have photo proof, but, my worries were founded on logic...

 

[magic_town]

Anyone else use hood cam and miss having a rear view mirror? Relying on those arrows is a little dodgy and you can never tell how far someone is up alongside you.

I use interior view and it doesn't have functioning mirrors either.

We've won you over then?

Yeah, we definitely need something to help know our surroundings. Could prevent a lot of collisions. Me and Stiggy took a corner side by side and we had to go super slow as we couldn't tell where each other were. One of us could have just claimed the spot but we were being super polite, where we could have raced harder if we could have an idea where the other car is.

Solution: run away faster, like I do while online.

I'm at level 28 online. I now own all touring cars except Cat. B and Cat. A, and Super Routers.

I need the final garage slot - it comes at level 30. I'm two levels away.

Well, obviously, that's the idea. If only I was as fast as you.

There are buttons to look left and right, although that obviously has problems as well with fumbling for buttons and taking your eyes off the road.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

That's what the right stick is for. Just flick it in the desired direction.

 

[BobbyBRAKEaNek]

So I take it this is a lot better than Grid 2.
