This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:
I'm not stating what i wish for. I just say what i think will happen (or not even at all).
FYI, I don't know if people knew this, but just hit the "O" button and she goes away.
And a heck of a lot slower than it used to be, this is what I was dealing with last Sunday. Or then there's some rubberbanding and it doesn't go full nuts with the two pepper car - which again would be wrong because it would negate the idea of adjusting the difficulty with the player's car choice.
Happened to me too, and just at Willow. Miyazono qualified a 1'19,7 and I did a 1'19,3 so shouldn't be any problems there. Or so I thought. He got stuck behind two others in the start so I figured I'd get away but half a lap later the black Hyundai was right at my rear bumper and not going anywhere. Now I'm not the best FF driver out there but certainly not bad enough to be about 10 km/h slower in the first long right hander if the cars are evenly matched, I was right at the grip limits at 175 or so and he was effortlessly doing 185 without even using all the available steering lock. That wouldn't be a problem if his car was correspondingly slower on the straights but nope, like being in tow all the way from the twisties to the final sweeper. That fastest lap tells a story of its own.
How do you beat someone with superior cornering grip AND equal straight line speed? By blocking a lot. A very big lot.
I often wonder what the game would be like with mechanicals, especially in the endurances. While I think it would be too much "Feels Bad" to have mechanicals completely knock a player out of a race ala Toyota 2016 and with as hard as you've got to push to beat the AI in the PP races I'm not sure that you can really implement a "drive at 9 tenths to save the car" mechanic when you've got to push 10 tenths just to stay at the front.
