Gran Turismo "Sport"

There's been about 20 laps between my video about and this one but really getting in to the groove of the cicuit and managed to get my time down a 1:46.3. Though I still made some mistakes so a 1:45 is definitely possible, 1:44's are probably possible but may be beyond me. I also realise I probably shouldn't be sharing these - I don't want you lot getting faster and beating me :p

 
Some good laps there Greboth - you definitely can get an improved time in a few areas. Looking forward to the race on Tuesday - I think I'm going to need to put some more practice in. Was the above done with BOP on or just FF in time trial?

It was normal time trial, I forgot to apply BOP though I have never noticed much difference.
 
Thanks @Spacedeck and @K1LLSW1TCH I haven't watched them yet but I will and feedback.

There is one track in particular I struggle with and am around 4 seconds off getting gold, I literally can't seem to get any quicker on it! I will try and upload that one.
 
@Andybtsn is it a fixed car or a garage car challenge? If it is a garage car, it could be you need to change car as there is some serious performance differences between cars in the same class.

I'm seeing a big difference with the Corvette; got into the 1.44's in time trial but still can't get into 1.46's with BOP....extra weight and reduced power make quite a difference on this track. The car feels much nicer to drive without BOP.

It's the circuit experience mode, Brands Hatch, not sure if I have option to change the car? Default is a R8 LMS '15

I set faster laps in the last 2 races with BOP than I did in time trial so I was going by that. Though that is quite the difference, I think I will have to try it with BOP and see how much time I lose.

Edit 2: BOP really does slow you down on this track! I just had a 5 lap blast and BOP seems to cost me about 2 seconds a lap :eek:

You might not be able to change car, only some of the tests let you. I've not done any of the circuit experience but I can see if I can find that one and give it a go :)

Edit: I assume as you said about being 4 seconds off you're talking about the whole lap challenge? Have you got gold in all bit parts of it?

There's nothing more soul destroying than spending 30 minutes doing qualifying laps, hitting every apex and nailing every corner escape with zen like precision only to enter the race and find someone has qualified 4 seconds quicker... In the same car. Seriously some of these people would give Lewis Hamilton a run for his money.

I entered the FIA race last night on the expressway. Big mistake. SR took a big slap in what was a bumper car race.

I've avoided racing most of the street tracks and oval tracks when they come up in the dailies, most people can't race or overtake on standard racetracks let alone narrow ones and ovals.

I'm DR B and SR S but there are still idiots in practically every race, not every corner is an overtaking opportunity and it does get a bit tiresome at times. I've got a few replays saved of some really unsporting players which I might upload at some point. Not sure if everyone else is experiencing the same thing but probably 8 times out of 10 if I'm faster on the straights the opponent will weave back and forth purposely. If I manage to pass then I'm probably going into the gravel on the next corner because they'll smash me off anyway.

Couple of days ago on the Dragon Trail daily GR.4 me and another guy were exiting the final hairpin, he's on the outside and I took the inside line, he's slightly in front of me but I start catching up to him on that final straight so he decides to start drifting right, he keeps on doing it until I have no room left and end up being smashed into the pit tyre wall barrier. He finishes the race in 2nd place and I end up 7th or 8th I think it was. Worst thing was he didn't get any penalty for that whatsoever and I still end up with SR down... How is that fair?!

I had to replay that one about 7 or 8 times before I beat the gold time, I hate that track and that car is absolutely awful to drive as well.
 
Brands hatch, I can't get the technique to get round the first corner to stick in my head. I nail it one in 3 tries and seem to drift wide the rest, so difficult to judge the apex.

Correct so you'd think if I can gold the different parts I should be able to do the whole thing :p

I had the exact same, but the opposite result. We came out of the last turn alongside with me slightly ahead after me getting inside him and the guy kept barging me towards the right...he must have missed his last attempt and ended up crashing and finishing 6/7th or something with a penalty. I guess some people can't hack being overtaken...it's a game who cares

The problem with Brands Hatch is that there is a number of corners which it is easy to mess up on and lose time on. If you have got gold on the individual parts it should just be a case os retrying until you string all the bits together. If you can upload your lap we can take a look and see where you're loosing time.
 
It’s annoying how unavoidable accidents affect you SR, I was racing rounds brands and the second last corner two cars crashed right in front of me and as I was less than 2 tenths behind had no where to go but my SR went down. This has happened many times it’s so frustrating.
