Hi everyone, im making a post here again to try and get some more traction on these issues. Our drag racing community made a post about these bugs back in GT Sport, but we unfortunately didnt get much traction to expose these, but I think with the recent ebrake ban in sport mode, we could be in a better place to show whats going on.

In the Drag racing community, we have over the years found some very interesting bugs that give players an unfair advantage in not only drag racing, but normal racing too.

First off, to explain the bugs with the ebrake, it is possible to modulate the ebrake pressure in such a way which will not bog the car down but instead make you gain an unproportional amount of grip compared to the load put on your car, essentially making you accelerate faster with the correct gear ratios. Another bug with the ebrake is also the premise that the brake bug works on. You can press the ebrake a very light amount which we call "no-show eboost" that essentially does the same as stated in the previous bug, but you can hold this pressure for a much longer time, creating an even more disproportional amount of grip and acceleration, not to mention people can also rapidly tap this light pressure for the entire way through the cars acceleration, which makes the car accelerate even in the cars final gears. The best pressure to apply for the ebrake no show bug, and the brake bug is 6%, anything around there will work, but 6% is the best, and also for the ebrake bug, having a drift handbrake on 66% will make it a lot better.

Now for the brake bug, the brake bug only now really works on the light 6% premise stated earlier, however it is no longer as strong as it was in GT Sport. The brake bug has only been noticed to work on very spesific cars like high power FWD and some others. It is the same premise as the no-show boost where you can press and hold the brakes at 6% which will give the car a disproportional amount of grip compared to the load put on the car, causing acceleration, but this is stronger than the eboost where the brake bug is possible.

Last time we posted about this, we were met with people not believing us, about if these bugs were possible, even after showing evidence, which was unfortunate but we hope to change that, and get people on our side about these bugs. I would like if there was fixes for these, but in the meantime maybe an option to ban the ebrake in online lobbies too, and not just sport mode, then a more concrete fix can be made in the future.

Ill try to answer all questions and supply evidence if asked, hopefully with these issues resolved, we can ensure a more fair platform for everyone.

I don't know who "we" is, but could one of them provide some video this time?

I re-read the entire thread you bumped to direct people to this one, and... no video (except the weird and entirely worthless one in the opening post which reiterated the claims between rambling and shouting but didn't bother with showing it in action). The reason it went quite the way it did was the decision of two of the people posting about it to claim anyone faster than them was using it, anyone disagreeing with them was using it, and then a bunch of other insults that got one of them banned and the other flounced. And no actual evidence of it was shown, despite everyone waiting for it and asking for it, and trying to help them produce it.


Again, the PS4 and PS5 record everything that they see, top replays are freely available, and GT7 now even has a data logger with telemetry traces which would show this braking glitch in effect, so providing a video explaining the problem and showing top players using it should be pretty easy...

Yea sure, I'm not saying at all that any of the top players are cheating, I'm not too sure at all where that argument came from, and I've got 0 affiliation with the guy that made that original post, but the fact that this is possible in the game is more of my concern.

What sort of video would you like? The best way to showcase this IMO is a general video of acceleration, Ill use a car on the bluemoon bay racetrack, and line up just before the start and finish line on the track, ill then set a ghost without the ebrake cheat, then i will run the same car with the cheat from the same spot, and you can see the difference. I know last time people wanted some other methods, but this can reproduced a lot more consistently and it can be directly translated to racing, where on corner exit you could use this no problem, and gain free acceleration.

I can do the same for the brake cheat too, although that is going to be with a different car, this specific cheat only works with a few.

Also when I say "we" I suppose im just speaking on behalf of the community that knows about this, I dont think anyone who knows would like it to contunue in the game.
