My favorite track is the complex string. I like a hard course to run. I want challenges and that course gives it to me :D i dont like some to easy and boring :o . My driving style is basically fast. Depending on what car i have of course. If i have a powerful rear wheel driove car i start in second gear.( I know it soudns stupid but u dont hafta switch to second gear and u get more time to accelerate)less time switching is always good. while the computer switches thrugh all gears i normally skip a few gears. I know what i'm talking about.i've played all 3 GT games. beaten first and wokring on beating the third one. try my stylz of racing and tell me what u think. Lemme know about your driving style.
 
"Your style" is only practical on some cars. Like overpowered RGT's and Esprit 350's ;)

Driving conservative -imagineably slow- often gets you the best times. Although that can seriously take the fun out of driving...
 
Laguna Seca for me. Lots of fast driving and drifting, then you can screw around and ramp over the curbs and fly up the corkscrew. I make a whole car test out of it. I do a fast lap, then at the bottom of the hill, I do acceleration tests towards the first corner(after the hairpin) and either wipe out or continue to the next corner. Then I turn around and go as fast as I can and ramp over the hairpin curb(at an angle so that I land on the little road) and floor it through the pit. Then I drive to the corkscrew and floor it up the hill and hit the bill boards. Then I drive to the curb up on the hill(before the corkscrew, on the edge of the hill leading to it)and stop with 1 or 3 wheels off the curb for a suspention test. On FR cars you can spin a wheel off the ground and it's sorta like a dyno test. Then I speed down the hill(not the corkscrew) and make the turn ramping over the curb, and continue down the next hill and ramp over that curb and slam the brakes onto the little drive off road. I turn around and floor it back up the hill and make the turn and fly over the hill that leads to the corkscrew. It looks awsome on the replay. Then I drift down the corkscrew and make the turn leading to the pit, and floor it into the pit and fly on those little up parts(there's little rises on the road, when you go like 100mph you fly off the first on and case the next one). That's it. Then I watch the replay and get another car.

And Laguna Seca is Mazda Speedway, so I like it. :)
 
I like the tracks with some fast corners, like SS5 and Deep forest.
I also like Rome, because you drive through a real city.

My driving style is aggresive

You mean you drift a lot and throw your car into every corner rather than anticipating the turn and aiming for the apex? That's pretty much what I do when I'm racing casually. :lol:

Yes, that's how i worked my way through the arcade mode and those boring races where you won with 4 laps ahead or something:)
 
since number one my track has always been trial mountain for me it was that damn good to drive on the way how I can take them corners now arrrrrrrrrrr I am just sick on the course
 
I start out in secong gear on the S liscnese test so i dont spin my tires andd go out of control.
 
Laguna seca is my fav track. It use to be my most hated track back on GT2 but I've grown to love racing that track. :D
 
I've always had the same driving style and I can't get out of it.
I usually slam on the brakes in a straight line for the corner. Then I lift off the brake and begin to turn while going full throttle, but only for a second. Then when I hit the apex I go full throttle out of the corner and repeat the above process for every other corner.
 
Ohh yea, my driving style is dangerus, making way too close passes and flying off of stuff. Sometimes I go totally nuts and abuse the AI at test track by pushing them with my 15000hp cars or driving the wrong way and slaming them head on at 2000MPH(wheelie cars). I can win all of the races with pure driving skill, as 5 yrs of GT has really made me better. It also has helped in real life too, first time I drove I parked right between the lines and made corners smoothly(it was in a parking lot). No really fast driving though, my dad was with me. :)
 
parkings easy, try backing in to a space, that takes some practice to do good. I could do it with my drivers ed. teach, but not alone.

Slamming head-long into the AI is fun. :D Have you ever noticed that when you slam head-long into most cars, they skid backwards, but when you slam into the Ford GT40, it always jumps into the air (maybe 20 feet). It's pretty freaky! Also, I had some fun the other night, and took my CLK Touring Car to the Mercedes Cup... I went on the Test Course, and went in front of the first car at a 45 degree angle, like this:

----------------------------------- <-- Track rails
..\\\...****** <-- Other car
....\\\\******
.......\\\

My --^
CLK

And, when I did this, holly 🤬 ! Both the AI and I spun out... in fact, I did about 10 360s before I came to a halt... :D
 
yea, I've done some wierd stuff to the AI, I'll drive the right way doing wheelies, and 1 will be passing against the wall right before the corner, and I slam them and they jum sideways into the other cars, then hit the bottom wall and shoot up the track and ramp into the wall, and wipe out. Pushing them is fun, I've gotten them up to about 900mph, and they are on the brakes and wipe out in the corner. It's fun for a while...
 
LOL. I luv it when they "shoot" out... makes for great replays. :D

Also, another fun thing to do is to push them into the pits... if you've ever done it, you know that they resist a LOT! Pushing cars into the dirt at Midfield is also neat. 😈
 
I made a 3000GT speed car, 16000hp, 4wd, F1 tires, its fast. I went on a rampage, harrassing 1 AI, slamming him into the wall. Then I slowed down a lot and floored it past him and sped up and slowed down next to him, it was so fun.
