Same here. I quit the race midway because I can not tolerate this bullshit. Some asshole would swerve in front of me whenever I was trying to pass him. Then I bumped into him got a fucking 10 sec penalty. No more races for me today.
Hey guys I just bought the game its my first gt ever :D !! It is also the first time I'm playing a racing sim. Usually stick to arcade racing. What tips do you guys recommend for a begginer like me? I'm just starting but would like to dive deep into the game mechanics and fully explore what gt has to offer. Any Youtube channel worth following to also get some help? Hopefully we'll meet on the track :)

GTS is actually pretty good about teaching you the game and how to drive. The campaign does a really good job of this. The driving school teaches both the basics and advanced stuff and the circuit experience actually teaches you how to tackle each track piece by piece. Before each mission there is a video tutorial you can watch which shows you exactly what you need to be doing. It's all really well done.
In terms of outside sources I found Z28Gaming on youtube to be pretty helpful. He streams often and explains stuff along the way. He also makes vids on how to approach various tracks in detail.
If there is any space in the league can I take a spot?
Also I was just adding some extra bits to my livery and ran out of space. I cursed the fact the uploader wasn't released. I backed out to the main menu and there was a message saying it was available for everyone lol.
Is there a way to edit and create them on mobile? I really want to finish this off :(

I just did the FIA Huracan race on Dragon Trail. Everything was going so well, even the qualifying was mostly respectful. Nice passing, no dick moves. I qualified 12th and moved up to 8th by the 5th lap, and very close to passing 7th place. Then at the bus stop chicane (because of course) these two drivers came up on me. One tried to dive in on the turn in and rammed me but I recovered, but then hit me again hard on the way out, ramming me into the wall and then 360ing on the straight. I dropped down to 13th. Was able to move up to 12th and was closing in on 11th but ran out of race. The guy didn't even apologize after the race, just said, "great race!!"
I'm so pissed that I had to grab a drink. This kind of shit needs to be penalized harshly, especially in FIA events. You intentionally smash someone and you should be ejected from the race. Period.

Kill it with fire.
If I see anyone using this on Sunday I will ram you off the track.
Watching this top time replay on Lake Maggiore shaved off a second of my time lol, I was way too conservative regarding the track limits.
It is so frustrating when your race gets wrecked through someone else's actions, especially when they try passing through there which is pretty much impossible rather than just waiting for the nice wide bend that comes after it. It's not like you can even let them past easily through there if you don't want to get involved in a scrap.
I was faffing about with the race settings in lobbies last night to test a few things and when you have strong drafting this is rife, very similar to what happens in Sport mode. I turned it down to real and the races were far better. I also adjusted the assist settings and that was essentially a filter between the good and bad. An aim for more realistic and more stringent settings in Sports should be the way forward as far as I'm concerned, beyond C dr anyway.
Absolutely fuming... Just done the daily @ Interlagos started way down in 10th had a fantastic race work my way to 5th with a couple corners to go. 3rd and 4th were scrapping it out. I had the pace on both of them so I darted down the inside of both on the long left-hander onto the final Straight and the dirty bugger smashed me 3 times so I finished in 5th. His penalties took him to 10th rather than just racing clean and he'd have finished in 4th or 5th
Changed it to Gr.4. Sounds like a better starting point. Tyre wear will be on x2. I think that means 2-4 pit stops for the 20 laps. Haven't checked the fuel depletion yet.
Do you guys think Racing Hards should be the limit or allow Racing Mediums?
Meganes are banned ;)
a couple of people can't make it so there should be room for you two :D

Can only put them as on and off. Everything is off except ABS and TCS. I want to allow cones.
I'd say allow mediums and even softs, that's the point of the tyre wear in that strategy comes into play.
I believe that was the Emergency Updatereleased yesterday, not the one with all the new content that is supposed to drop today.
I did see that they changed the DR rankings yesterday:
In line with the periodic maintenance, we have adjusted the Rating system for Gran Turismo Sport.
The contents of the adjustment are as follows.
・DriversRating
-We have adjusted the judgement criteria to more appropriately divide the playersby their skill.
Cheers buddy :)
I found out a way of creating decals on my phone and getting them ingame lol. I tested it with the bmw Driving Experience logo and it came out ok.
Its only useful for text but I just saved 20 layers.
The site says of the update for 1.07:
This update will address the following issues:
1. Physics Simulation Model
- Control management for the TCS will be adjusted to raise stability at corner exits with throttle ON.
2. Various other issues have been addressed to increase stability.
I didn't notice any changes when I was racing last night, but I had TCS turned off. I really don't think TCS needed even more of a boost.
Misread the tire wear indicator. Tire wear rate will be x5. This should mean you will be <50% thread depth before 10 laps on Racing Hards. Fuel will be x2 which should mean you run out near 10 laps.
I'll finalise the settings tomorrow.
I think so too. Okay will do.
Yup. I love using them as well. An evolution from the driving line imo.

Yes! They are a brilliant idea that adds realism and helps you learn. You also have to adapt as the cones often get knocked over during the race so you can't absolutely depend on them.
I have seen good (but devious) players knock them over during the course of the race to throw other players off :D
Lol like GC you mean :-) Yeah I've seen people deliberately knock cones over on the first lap of qualifying to mess with other drivers and give themselves an advantage :-) But I do like that it's a crutch that can be taken away at any time so forces you to learn those braking positions.
Did the FIA Alsace race. Had no time to warm up before and qualified 17th. Most of the field was A,B,C DR ranks (what's the point of ranks at this point). Still, I didn't have any contact at all, moved up to 14th and on the last lap was heading for 13th. Had a Scirroco catch up to me and divebombed me. This wasn't like he was trailing me for a while, he just slammed me off the track full force from way back. Thankfully I was able to get back on the track quickly, but lost rank to him. He ended up with a blue S. I'm so tired of this shit! Fix this Kaz!!

Sign me up.
For some reason I had it in my head that the content update was dropping tonight, but I guess not? Is there no date for this, just "December"? Maybe they'll announce something at PSX.
I ran a trial race with these settings against the AI this morning (via vita remote playback after my kids got me up at 6am) so here's a few findings :-
Remote play is tough! Having to use stick for accelerate & brake and having that slight lag makes it a bit tricky. I fell off the track more than once...
Fuel was good for 16 laps in the Scirocco on those settings. I bet you could stretch it out to the full race if you turned it down (I ran on fuel mapping 1 the entire race).
Front right tyre on the Scirocco was pretty knackered after 11 laps - it wasn't full red but I was struggling to maintain pace. The rears were untouched however.
The AI is dead slow even on Pro - they brake for the damn sweeping esses and slow you down a lot.
The AI finishing order was 4C, Scirocco, Megane - may well be a clue on what cars to pick...
Just won the Daily @ Yamagiwa with 150% clean race bonus. Started in 3rd got the lead on the 1st lap gained a 3 sec lead which was slowly whittled away while I was trying to drive conservatively to make sure of no silly mistakes. I was overtaken on lap 9 of 10 i let him past in case he was a dirty driver (Spanish, say no more lol) who tried to wipe me out and thought I'd pressure him on the last lap which I did but didn't quite manage to pass him. But then his 6 second penalty meant I won. Chuffed to bits
I only have a few Gr. 4 cars* and I don't think I own any of them (possibly the Megane, but f that). Should be interesting to see what cars people pick.
* I have 80 cars, but I still haven't bought a car yet, I have a stupid habit from the old GT games of getting through everything with just prize cars...
No, BoP will nullify mileage point upgrades (even for torque, so GT5/6 PP trick doesn't work anymore).
1.07 broke something for me: the game hangs for a solid 30 seconds on the main menu, and takes forever to open pictures in my feed. I also can't seem to apply liveries (previously the game would take a whole minute and even give me an error, but eventually the livery would show up. Not anymore)
I also noticed the "saving" icon appears more frequently, even when there's nothing to save.
EDIT: maintenance tomorrow morning: http://www.gran-turismo.com/world/gtsport/news/00_1113898.html

I've been getting by a lot with the loan cars you get from the Manufacturer, but after using them for a week I often buy my own if I like them - I've barely used any of the GR.X cars I've won tho or the low end N cars I keep getting duplicates of :-(
Regarding the GR.4 cars :-
Megane, Scirocco and TT are very quick on the straights.
The 4C and the Porsche Caymen are great in the twisties.
I quite like the Viper and the Corvette which are a bit more stable / less agile - better on fast sweeping tracks.
The McLaren is a nice handling car but isn't really quick enough without really pushing hard, same for the SLS. Doing that for 20 laps with tyre wear would be interesting.
The Buggati was pretty good when I tried it last but I was quicker in the Viper.
I've not used the 458 but it does seem more popular now after the recent tyre tweaks.
I had a quick go last night and used two cars that aren't even on your list, and people say GTS has no cars, pah!
