Maybe the GT7 servers are failing?

I had the same issue. Some strange connection during the rolling start, so that I sit in P1's car. Could even change camera & dashboard :D My own car was driverless at the start line and I don't know what happened with it, I only saw that it passed through

Thread 'READ ME FIRST: Gran Turismo 7 Connection Issues'

Gran Turismo 7, it seems, follows in the fine traditions of GT Sport, GT6, GT5, and even GT5P in being a bit sensitive to network environments. A connection that's fine one day (or hour) might be ropey the next, and while there's a lot of things that might be out of your control, the best way to improve your experience is to make sure the bits that you can control are as good as they can be.

You don't need much technical knowledge at all to optimise your own network environment and make it as stable and friendly as possible. Here's a quick guide to doing so which will resolve many...

And clear your network cache in-game.
 
Racing at the Glen is frankly unreal.

I had one unfortunate ram fest an hour ago, but after that I've had three stellar races with barely believable outcomes.

Once the uncouth were culled from the lobby, the fight for a top 5 position has been fierce and utterly unforgiving. I'm talking about things like going into the bus stop in a box formation and somehow everyone coming out alive and into the sweeping right-hander line astern.

It's crazy, I don't recommend it. That said, am sitting here alone laughing to myself at what I've been witnessing.

Replays in my Showcase as always for those interested.

Edit: next race... Finally!

Post some replays ya tease!

Now to my weekly over-analysis because i am a racing nerd. I am fast through the 1st and last turns (I can soak guys for 2 to 3 tenths through the last turn if i nail it) but getting burnt exiting the bus stop and especially the long right hander, i cannot seem to carry the mid corner speed others are, waiting too long to get on throttle.

So it seems the faster guys have e realized Race A is cool and suddenly their times and pace have improved. I am now starting around P5 and struggling to match the pace of the DRA drivers.

I did win a race in a full field of B drivers and overall got my DR up another 500 points to be at 29,770 so on the cusp of DRA.

Continue to get slaughtered from the bus stop through the fast long right hander, rest of the lap I can keep pace with A drivers but that chicane kills me.

Great racing session earlier today featuring our very own @Lightsider74 Nick*. This was the pick of the bunch, a right battle behind P1 right up until the chequered flag. Very clean to boot!

*He himself copped one of those race-ending 1.5s penalties early on, unlucky Nick. Most of my races have ended up the same way 🤦‍♂️

Cut the track - get a penalty; fair enough. At least make it consistent. Sometimes it feels like these track limits are arbitrary.

1.5 seconds is an age 😭

@NevilleNobody, @benjoi84 congratulations on the win. I haven't won a race for a couple of weeks now.

Nice to share the track with a couple of real life aliens @Lightsider74 @BuzzdoggZ

I think I caught a glimpse of one of your spoilers on T1 😂


I have my 🍿 ready to hear what happened between you two on that long right hander 😂😂😂

Great to see you out there again, mate!

Basically I'm rubbish at the bus stop. @BuzzdoggZ wasn't expecting me to slow that much and tapped me. (You didn't and don't have to wait in future, as I'm sure any contact between GTP people is unintentional - thanks though.)

Was a good start to the morning racing you and @Stringerbell. If I was a rando, I bet you'd be cursing me hitting you in consecutive races at the bus stop. I struggle to react to the unexpected, so sorry again.

Does anybody have any tips for the 2nd last corner at WG - I'm always losing ground there.
 
@Lightsider74 watch tidgney guide for the bus stop, it helped me a treat, brake at the 400, then hold on for dear life 😂

I had another race with that Portuguese gent you rammed me into, this morning, I chased him down from 2secs away, last lap and he went really slow around the last bend, again, and we came together when I past him, I mean I want waiting all day for him to get around the corner, but he spun again 😬😬😬

Well probably, but I also know how bad I take that section. I knew, with you, it wasn't intentional so I was calm. More disappointed with yet another 1.5 sec penalty. My DS is only 3/4 full due to the amount of pens I'm picking up here.

As for 2nd to last, I brake at roughly the imaginary 250m board turn early and take it in and 3rd, redlining it into 4th. 4th is faster but nowhere near as consistent for me. Same with the endless right after the bus stop.

I have watched it a few times but it's pot luck whether I'm going to get understeer or oversteer virtually every time.

I’d agree with Nev here, you are over shooting the last but one turn at 250,

For me, T1, 3rd, 300 line
Bus stop 400, 4th, lift off before rolling over the first curbs, stay tight then lift off when the curb starts on the right hander and start accelerating just after the gap or the thin line on the track stay in 4th, last but one 300 marker, 4th, last after the arnco changes in the left, 3rd 😁

Had a cracker at lunch started p3 against 2 DR As, p1 lost it at the bus stop lap 3, I did briefly manage to get into p1 but last lap, on the outside, this chap was just ahead and let off a little, we went side by side through the bus stop and he just held his line all the way! Amazing stuff.

Got my QT down 7 hundredths to 1.14.623 and I’m still going for more!

DR 29172 😁

I think part of the difficulty regarding Race A and penalties is that the car is deceptively small. Driving in bumper cam as I always do, there's been plenty of times when my instinctive "car spatial sense" has been fooled for the worse (off track penalties) or for the better (missing the Armco when I'm certain I should be hitting it).

Rubbish at the bus stop 🚏 I don’t think so mate you are quick on your replay. 🥳

Try 2nd briefly for T1 like the WR does.

I'll double check my braking for last but 1 left hander.

You've lost me here, I need to get better through this sequence as it's hurting me, i'll re-watch Tidge.

Yeah I should have breathed a little…

😂

@Lightsider74 there you go mate, we’re all going to be Fangio’s this weekend!!!

And T1 is one I can’t get right ever time, I go from 5th to 3rd or use 2nd if I feel I’m over cooking it, but I feel 3rd is faster (for me)

So this just happened. Very happy as, as I say, I haven't won a race for a few weeks.

Also knocked a smidge off my QT. 1:14.432

That is an amazing Q time and you must on pole for your races. I raced race A yesterday at 15:40-17:30 local UK time and it was carnage. I am making an assumption that this is when the ‘nippers’ all jump on the platform after school 🏫 as later on in the early evening it magically becomes calmer. 😎🤠
 
Finally some redemption this morning. Had 2 nights of connection issues, causing me to disconnect out of races. Clearing the PS5 cache didn't help. Installing a wired connection did help, but I don't want a wire running through my house all the time. For now it's okay.

So I could do 2 races this morning. Both starting from P4 in full B/S lobbies, with me driving the F-type. In the first race I was in a pack of 5 leading cars that broke away from the rest. We had a nice drive, bumpdrafting a lot. One guy was being agressive and sometimes dirty though, ruining it for the rest of the 4 racers. So I tried to keep my distance from him as much as possible. He wiped out one of the other cars. On the last lap I just decided to consolidate a P3, and not overtake him for P2. But his wild driving caused him to bin it by himself in the bus stop. So yeah a P2 finish for me! Because of dealing with this dirty driver, P1 managed to break away. He even was the only one on medium tires in the 2nd stint. But a P2 was great after all those connection issues.

The second race I also was in the leading pack. The guy behind was driving the Elantra and he overtook me, and the people in front of me rather quickly, albeit a bit agressively. But it turned out he had the pace. The whole race I was in a race for P2 with 2 other drivers. At the end I finished P3. Happy with that! The guy in P1 won with about 4 seconds to spare, so maybe this lobby was a bit beneath him.

Yes, my last race yesterday was the 15.40 one, and that was bit untidy!

Having said that, I have crept back into the bottom end of B DR this week, purely on the back of Race A, and it's alway a bit unruly there 🤪
