GT is one of my favourite game franchises of all time and whilst I’ve had it for a while it wasn’t until I invested in a wheel and pedal setup that I’ve gone all in and play it pretty much exclusively these days. It’s a bit of a steep learning curve going from single player campaign modes to playing online. The races are pre planned so most spend their time practising before the actual races, it’s very competitive.
I have to honest I’m still languishing at the back of the pack but there’s a couple of things that I’ve noticed.
- Use a manual gearbox, you just won't have the speed if you don't
- Turn off assists, only use some ABS if you need it (I do)
- Feel free to use corner makers etc to help you know your braking points but these are conservative and you'll need to break later to get quicker lap times
I’m starting to relearn driving with no assists to give me some hope of competing.
I’d recommend doing the daily races and leaving the other championships until you can compete or it’ll be a waste of your time.
The one area I’m still struggling to understand is where there is a single manufacturer race and the rest of the field have better straight line speed, this has me a bit lost at the moment (let me know if you know why).
I’ll update more as I play more of the game but I’m very much enjoying pushing myself on this one.
