Gran Turismo Sport: Rally Cars on a Race Track. Is This A Good Idea?

[@methosracing760]

Hello SuperGT, I just discovered your chain, I'm Rasbib, after having read part of the comments I had to answer as many nasty attacks without knowing myself or having my opinion and felt on the race. First of all I generally and like you liked this race, I start in Nation Cup and I don't often play GTsport. It was epic, shock park against shock park the whole race. In my defense, I left the doors much more open than you, I prefer a race with overtaking rather than closing everything as you did when you were in front. I understand and respect this strategy. When I say that I liked this race overall, it is because the end touch has ruined the show !!!. I am very sorry to have braked a bit too late, with jimmy prost just behind I could not let you iron. So yes I made a mistake which distorts the result, sorry I am not a pro but to read that I did it on purpose, that I use the new penalty rules (I am not even aware) that I am a pilot at banish ... short Anyway, congratulations to you for your channel, our dual race (you should have been first without contact but I was much faster than you towards the end ^^) and your fairplay

[@Super_GT]

Not a problem mate. Not the way I wanted to end the race but I do understand that 3rd place was very close by and it made it harder to resolve it. I'd usually not defend every corner but I felt like my tyres were worse and that it was the only way to win that particular race. Overall, a very good race.

[@mralf1_104]

The worst part is that even now that it isn't there, you can still randomly get 2 second penalties for minor and irrelevant taps/ getting brakechecked yet ramming someone is worth no penalty

[@mralf1_104]

@JT Summed it up perfectly. You know what's worse than all of that? I was driving the Nations race at Dragon Trail the other day and I got a 2 second penalty on both races... without even touching anyone and for no actual reason! I checked and double checked the replays to see if there was any reason as to why the penalties were given, but I hadn't done anything wrong! The worst thing was that when I received the penalty, I normally would get a text explaining why I had a penalty, but that time, NOTHING SHOWED UP. They literally gave me a two second penalty, with all that implies in an official races in cars where you get punished badly for time losses, and they didn't even have a reason to give it to me! And people were saying it was improved after the update! This system has not been fixed at all with the update: in fact, the game has gone backwards since that, because the penalty system is just as bad as before for what you mentioned and the servers are now so much laggier and messier.

[@mralf1_104]

@JT You're also right about the whole wall thing. I don't see any reason why the system should punish the player so heavily when the player makes a mistake. I thought it was for realism purposes (so as to make you lose time equivalent to the damage you would have on the car in real life), but I have also seen them given in races with no damage, so... what's up with that?

[@merthyr1831]

Yup, penalty system is still laughably broken, but at least it not being there is better than it penalising everyone for tiny contact. Though despite that I still did ragequit in the Gr3 Redbull Ring Wet race today because I spent ages practicing, only to get *punted off at the first corner despite going relatively deep, then getting a 2 second penalty for it*. Cmon now, it was honestly close to being alright for a while, then from what I can tell they've ruined it since people have been pulling Momoz maneuvres :(

Getting tired of this game having a penalty system that doesn't know when to penalise and that rewards people using other drivers as brakes since it gains them a place and doesn't get them penalised (in fact, it's more likely to penalise you for a slight tap to someone than by punting them into the Shadow Realm)

[@MichaelPohoreski]

The ALONSISTA It's kind of bullshit that you are braking for a corner, get a love tap, and **your SR** goes down when the _other_ guy was responsible for hitting you?! WTF! How bloody hard is it to look at what fucking sector the 2 cars are in, see what speed the corner is rated for, see that the lead driver was braking for it, and give the SR / penalty to the _actual_ person who wasn't driving safe?!?!

You're more likely to get penalized for getting rammed into another car which may result in that car going wide

That's just the "the-one-I'm-a-fan-of-deserves-to-win-everything" mentality speaking. Considering how slow SuperGT was going around the track, he'd have to Reverse if SuperGT were to pass him. He was 100% a better driver than SuperGT. Fair win. If early-braking, apex-parking, and slowing everyone down is your main strategy you need to understand you're at the mercy of the other drivers patience with you as a roadblock. Don't expect unlimited mercy in a competitive game. Every slow corner the chance you will be rear-ended increases by 10%. And accept it as a con of the strategy.

[@yeahmhmmrightokaymhmmyeahsure]

[@wille4413]

@@Erafune That was anything but a "fair win." One driver was following the rules, while the other committed a penalty. If this game's penalty system worked then Super GT would have won. If the other driver was better he wouldn't have to rely on the system being broken to win a race. If you think using a defensive racing line is cheap or somehow cheating then you probably aren't going to win too many races. It's a very simple concept and there are strategies other drivers can use to counter it.

I know constantly attacking and being denied must be frustrating but I call that Frenchman's win as a BS, he did push you very wide on the last lap, like c'mon. You didn't do the same to him when you were attacking. Maybe it was not intentional but still, should at least leave you side by side with himself. I know for a fact that you care more about quality of the races than the outcome at the end, and that little tap didn't change the overall quality of the race, but it sure did change the outcome.
