Not to hijack the thread, but if you're looking for clean racers, the WRS Online Events are filled with them. 👍

Link is in my sig. :sly:
 
I'm a clean driver with a DS3. I feel that I am a fairly decent driver too, if you want you can add me too. PSN:ninja0804
 
To bring this duscussion to an end , I'm very very sorry if someone feels hurt or something !
I do know that not every player can afford a proper equipment , but i say it again an hope I'm not starting a huge argue in here ! Just my opinion :
Is someone is really into GT or only sim racing Games , than he/she have at least a wheel or in best case a rig , my opinion !
Regards and sorry if someone maybe missunderstands me !
 
I don't think anyone in this thread ever directly said DS3 users were worse than wheel users. Ive had very good and hideously bad drivers with both. But in my online experience and I'm sorry to say, but it happens time and time again; statistically 'more' DS3 users drive erratically and are the cause of getting crashed/taken out, especially when hussling side-by-side. There's no politically correct answer coming here: its simply my observation with online lobby.

For those DS3 users that I do race with: honestly they are top racers and some of them you wouldn't even know the difference.

For those DS3's I have not met: I don't judge (until I'm wiped out of course ;)) and happy to race with new people :)

The only problem I have with the DS3 is the steering, it doesn't turn as well as the wheel also it is harder to turn in general.

Go to his public profile and on the left he has a photo album with pics of his rig in it.

Also, I know people that use gloves, shoes, ect. when playing but never a seatbelt.:odd: I mean, I'm all for immersion, but a seatbelt.:lol: Nothing against the OP, but just the thought of strapping yourself in to play a game just sounds funny to me. Buckle up for safety I guess. :lol::lol:

Ahhh, I would but unfortunately I'm on my phone so the album isn't able to be looked at. 👎

Even those IMO are too much. It might also be my fear of judgement from those I live with :lol: I would have to agree with you on the seatbelt as well but hey, to each his own I guess. When I was watching the racer X challenge online there was one guy with yellow gloves and shoes and I practically cringed the entire time. :o

I've used both. Control and accuracy is better with the wheel but reaction/response is stronger with the DS3. Although, my tunes are very different using DS3 - VERY Different. Typically I remember my tunes to be several kg/mm softer to compensate.

(Not that I drift much, but I'm hopeless at drifting using a wheel :drool:)

I just use Praiano's tune, they're amazing because I can't tune for 🤬, anyways I like your profile picture.

Most of my tuning knowledge has also come from his tunes, although i usually tweak his to fit my style of slightly more oversteer ;)

Thanks matey :D
 
Clean driver here, uses DS3 analog sticks. havent tried the wheel really. and I actually do very well with all aids(cept ABS +1) off, speedos/displays off, and cockpit view.

I couldnt say the same with my father and brother, they use arcade style directional buttons, X, and [] :scared:

We're all entitled to opinions and mine is that you are wrong. I have played GT5 since launch, never used a wheel, never likely to use a wheel and I'm into GT5 just as much as you are. Don't be elitist.

Maybe you should join one of our rooms, I'll show you what it's like to be beaten by a clean DS3 user :trouble:

I know you don't like watching DS3 players on replay, but you might enjoy the videos below :sly:

Nothing wrong with that, it's what I use and I'm not too far off the pace in online races. Throttle and brake modulation is perhaps a touch tricker, but just be gentle and the buttons (which are analog, not digital) respond pretty well.
 
I love clean racing too. Simply because I love motorsports. I don't race in real but enjoy everything about it.

Winning at all costs is very hideous. If I'm racing with 11 online racers & if they raced cleanly with me, then even if I were to finsih last, I would have a smile on my face.

Don't know how many people realise this but clean racing is more fun & refreshing.

I'm a DS3 user. As you know, I would need to apply small & nimble touches to the control inorder to make the turn as smooth as possible. Sometimes, it's much harder to do so & I would end up tagging a car. I would never do it on purpose because precision is very important in the race but it's harder to get to with a DS3 when compared to wheel users.

No wonder they always top the time trials.
 
Driving clean is a state of mind. If your first priority is to win and you don't care what happens to anyone else, you tend to justify what happens on the track as "racing incidents". I stopped racing in Nascar lobbies early on because I'd often make a draft pass for the lead and have enough momentum to take the checkered then get taken out. After the race someone would come on the mic and invariably say, "Sorry Johnny, I knew I couldn't get by so I took you out". I know not all Nascar rooms are like that of course, but enough were that it turned me off oval racing altogether. Crashing someone out on purpose to win is not my idea of racing, it's smashup derby.

Truly clean drivers adhere to a different code, where much of the reward is in the challenge of racing clean and hard, with little or preferably no contact. Racing in a pack or close to another driver without contact on a racing sim is not easy and there is reward in that accomplishment alone. You are always racing to win, but the clean driver will not take that extra risk that might put a competitor in a tough spot. So far no one on GTP has explained the code a clean driver would adhere to than VBR and I recommend this to everyone:

I also recommend this when you are searching random lobbies looking for some organized circuit racing:

I've raced many great drivers with DS3, fast too. Doodlemonopoly has many top finishes in TT's using the DS3 and he's much faster than me. IForceV8 is as fast as me and as clean as you can be in this game and he uses DS3. Neither a wheel nor a DS3 makes you clean or dirty, your state of mind does, just depends on whose hands are on it.

My sentiments exactly.

Mine too!

I fight like crazy, but it's the fight that's exciting - I really don't mind finishing in the middle somewhere.
But I have to admit, I hate being last! That's probably my incentive to improve my skills.
Racing clean is the main part of a sim game. If you don't race clean, you might as well be in NFS.
