DJMeister or D.Meister?
Am I the only one who experiences massive difficulties driving stock FR cars? From the MX5 to the M3 and now the ZR1. My B Spec guy can win the American championship in Professional but I can't seem to do it myself in A Spec because the ZR1 keeps spinning out when I'm just a little careless with the throttle. My settings are TC 5 and ABS 1 with everything else off. Any tips?

Don't remember what the American championship is, the other cars aren't stock, maybe a stock ZR1 isn't fast enough? Anyway, leave traction control off. Leave any active steering or skid recovery off too, go to the practice section. Pick a track you like and practice until you feel you got a good time in. Basically, you want to learn how to apply throttle out of a turn so that it's not always on-off-on. You want to learn to anticipate when you're gonna lose traction and really get on top of it rather than reacting. Drive until you know how much room you need to recover when the rear end comes out so you don't panic and go into survival mode, but just treat it like a normal occurence. There are gonna be a lot of FR cars, more powerful and harder to drive in the future. You don't want to stick with the boring 4wd forever.

Better tires? I use a DS3 with no assists on and have no trouble controlling my 800hp ZR-1. When it's at 900 it's a bit more difficult, but I usually keep it at 800 when I'm driving it. Make sure you short shift through the first 3 or 4 gears, and you should never have the throttle wide open in the first 2 gears. Play with the suspension too. Giving it some camber in the back helps with traction. And downforce too. Lots of downforce.

Do all your braking in a straight line on the way into a corner, letting momentum take you through it and be gentle on the way out to avoid excessive wheel spin.
I'll echo the aero/downforce adjustment comment as well. Also, you might want to tune your set up more towards understeer if you're losing the back end a lot.

Why are the high powered cars so hard to drive where as the low powered cars are so easy to drive?
I spin out all the time with the XJ13 chromeline. But I couldn't spin out with the Lupo GTI Cup car even if I tried. I managed to complete a FULL CLEAN lap at the Nurbguring with the wheel and that car. But with the XJ13, I spin out at most corners. It's driving me nuts.
I fucking suck at controlling high powered cars with the wheels with all assists off
Even TC does nothing. I look at the graph on the bottom left. A tyre just goes red and I end up sliding off. The wheel gives me no forewarning that I'm about to lose control. I spontaneously happen to lose control. It's fucking annoying.

Only floor it in straights.. feather it for turns.. if that... learn how far you can throttle in turns versus turning w/o throttling..
maybe that will help?

Most fucking excellent. At least the AI is consistent with bumping throughout all types of races. :lolpix said:
Cobra really is your best bet, since the Chaparrals and the Toyota 7 that are the fastest cars in that race are really expensive in the used dealership (think I saw a 7 for 4-5m, and a 2J for 15m :lol), and the premium classic race cars are 20m. Otherwise you'll have to do b-spec up to an extreme event, an a-spec endurance race, or get lucky with a random ticket to get something better.elohel said:

AAAARGh the Formula Gran Turismo finally showed up in the used car dealer and it costs 4.8 million credits... i'm 900k credits shy. Fuck this shitty used car structure, it'll probably take another 20 hours of gameplay before it decides to reappear.
In other news, I also hate Nascar. They are terrible antiquated pieces of machinery designed to race around an impossibly dull track.

My guy was six seconds in the lead during the final lap. So I thought he was cool. Go to check on my son sleeping...expy said:

Whats up with this? in regards to 1.03 update:
"But here's the catch: the damage options are only for use in the online mode. Arcade Mode and the single player modes won't be affected. Damage to cars will still be exactly the same for them as it was before the update"

Or my bad for reading "examiner" ?

Just picked this up. I've never dove into a GT game before so I'm sure I'm in for a rough ride, but I'm excited none the less.

But Jeff Gordon told me that they're totally modern and high-tech, on par with Formula 1 cars! Just a bit more ... heavy.
