1.Brake to early
2.When I get to last lap and make mistakes
3.Gettin punted
4.Getting messages that I punted the punter
5.Following someones line.
6.Bumper to bumper races

I think my list will stop there.
 
I think my biggest problem is i look in the rear view to much to see if other drivers are hitting turns worst or better then me. Sometimes its ok when i do this, only if i know a driver cannot keep up with me i feel no pressure, however if i see the driver hitting turns just as i do or faster i start to get a little nervous. With this in mind sometimes I make stupid mistakes, and sometimes it brings the best out of me.
 
My biggest problem is becoming overconfident with a great first lap and then trying to be too quick; causing me to miss my shifts from 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th. It results in a huge time loss and once I start that business, I might as well retire.
 
1. Looking behind me when i know nobody is even close enough to challenge me all the time.
2.If i get hit off i will do anything to hunt that guy down and make sure he meets the gravel trap.
3.Because of above getting to agressive throwing the controller across the room and so on.
4.Getting distracted by anything around me and just messing up then going crazy at my self and throwing controller hitting things and so on.

But apart from that im just peachy.
 
1. Braking too late
2. Pushing too hard, especially when leading, resulting in mistakes.
3. Mis-shifting gears or taking a corner in the wrong gear when I've lost concentration
4. Putting a wheel onto the grass in a braking zone, causing my car to spin
5. Being too cautious in packs
 
-Getting to the lead and then slowing down and waiting
-Getting to the lead and going off.
-Braking too late
-And getting angry at myself for no reason
 
I sometimes brake to early on long straits, like Fuji. I know the braking point, but still brake a little to early. I also look behind to much and end up running off into the grass every now and then. Especailly if someone is getting a good draft off of me.
 
Everytime i get first in big races(like 12 ppl) i make mistakes a lot. Early braking, moving out of my apex, going off a lot and even cutting corners(like 1 or 2 times a race)usually by accident.
 
getting sucked into racing other people rather than staying on my line and markers

What i meant is with the control it's easier to enter a drift because a button is more on / off than a pedel.

thats why i use L2/R2 as brake/gas with square/circle as down/up shift, i.e. forza controls. works nicely for me
 
definitely retaliating against someone who hit me off the track and not waiting for me (1v1) but that usually only happens in the beginner to intermediate, go figure.

waiting for someone if i'm considerably ahead of them, letting them get ahead then pushing myself and make mistakes and lose horribly
 
My worst GT5p habbit is that I want to drift online, just to realize NONE of the racers catch my drift soul and realize I'm trying to provoke them into a drift race...
 
Nailing the throttle too early when exiting a corner and lighting up the tyres.

Trying too hard then realising my hands, face and ass cheeks are clenched up! lol
 
Thinking that the Ford GT will handle beautifully like in GT4, then running face 1st in to the wall when i go to countersteer around the 1st corner.
 
I don't think i'm wrong for doing this, but here goes. Say someone obviously has a faster car than yours & instead of the person cleanly passing you, he/she slams you into the wall on purpose every time he/she sees you, even though you never did anything to them. is it wrong to punt them into the gravel trap?

In my view, absolutely not. I've had a few encounters with some retard called AFCNumber01 who keeps slamming at every opportunity, not only me but everyone else he came across. And I must say I found it immensly satisfying shovelling him/her into the gravel at Fuji's 1st corner!!
 
Giving out to the kids in the back at the worst times,like the first corner of fuji or suzuka:sly:.Also I seem to daydream a lot behind the wheel in gt5p,about when I was younger and faster:ouch:..
 
My worst habit is spending too much time worrying about others people races and not focusing on mine, especially when I'm leading the race. I'm for ever looking over my shoulder so to speak.

If I've not played GT for a while then I need a few races before I stop braking to late and oversteering into a corner.

funny it makes me go faster.

Burppppp.

That might be due to the fact that drinking can help you to relax, I've found it can help at times as well, but I've never tried it when playing GT.
 
1. Doing great first and second splits on a hotlap, getting distracted by the sound of my louder and faster heartbeat and messing up in the last sector

2. Lining myself up for a nice wide entry in a braking area, not paying enough attention then getting a wheel on the grass and watching the back end overtake the front.

3. Not carrying enough speed into the apex, as a result cut the corner and get a penalty

4. Still using the bloody D-pad!!

All the best

Whilst leading a race, especially online, I get over excited when I know the guy behind is hounding me down. Therefore I push to hard and come off the track and end up in somewhere like 10th
