I just got GT Sport last Friday and i played pretty much every day. It´s just so focused on the multiplayer aspect and the community is really not that bad.
But i really do not understand the penalty system. Can somebody tell me what the problem was in this case:
Keep in mind, i am the subaru that overtakes on the left and i got a 10 second penalty. I mean it looks like i did not even hit the porsche
Looks like a slight bump from the back. Don't mind the penalty's as much. In the grand scheme, if you drive cleanly most of the time, you will get higher up in the ranks. I've had plenty of red S's at the end of races, some my fault, and I have never gone down in rank ever since I attained S.
Funny story: I ended up spinning out at Brands Hatch because my rear tire touched the gravel a bit and I lost a couple of spots. In my attempt to catch up, I rear ended a guy named Alerik13. It was on the fast right hander after the long straight. Hit hard because he braked at an earlier point than I do. I felt bad super terrible about it so I waited for him off line before the next right hander. I slowed down and the pack behind me caught up. Well, one guy, schmedVegas (part of some top 10 times) rear ends me. He was attempting to make an early pass inside and didn't expect me there (should have since I saw him coming up). 30+ seconds penalty for him I found out later. Anyway, in my attempt to fix one problem, I caused another. Mental note, when waiting for others, get off the course and do the waiting there.
So, I let the Alerik13 dude pass and then I saw him waiting for me a couple of turns later. I was confused at first but I knew his end game. He was rightfully pissed and was aiming to return the favor. I was a lot faster than him so I put some distance between us and sure enough...the next slow bend, I slow WAY before my braking point and here he comes rushing inside...and then out of the track. His attempt to get back at me failed. Now, ask me how I remember those names well? Yup, both messaged me right after lol. Oh well, in this case no good deed went unpunished. Lessons learned.
Can we get a refresh of PSN names to add to people's list? Mine is Kaze13. Add me!
