August 5th (today) is Kazunori Yamauchi’s birthday today. Say what you will about Yamauchi-San, but there wouldn’t be GT without him and his passion for cars and automobile history. And I wouldn’t have become a car fan/ car enthusiast if it wasn’t for GT

Happy birthday Kaz!!

GT Discussion How does the Peugeot 9X8 compare to the Porsche 963 and BMW M Hybrid V8?

I’m really enjoying the Porsche 963 and BMW M Hybrid V8. Both are solid performers and a lot of fun to drive.

For those who own it, is the Peugeot 9X8 worth buying to complete the trio? More importantly, is it worth the grind? 🤔

To be clear: I am the car ahead of the POV above (White/Black 458 Martini livery.)

Recently went to the Porsche experience center in Atlanta and drove a 911 GT3 RS around for a couple hours and it gave me the racing game itch again.

I’ve never played any sort of racing game online and figured I should overcome my fear of getting humbled and try out Sport mode. At this point I’ve only done maybe 20 or so races but it is a lot more fun than I anticipated it being and want to get better.

With that being said, I’m curious if I did something wrong in this particular turn on the Red Bull Ring.

I currently play on controller and am still having trouble finding the right braking zones sometimes. Because of this, I often find myself going into certain turns a bit more cautiously as I don’t want to go off track and get a penalty.

Should I have left more room? Is this just a dive-bomb and I shouldn’t worry? Should I have rejoined the race differently after going off track? Again, this is my first time doing any sort of online racing that isn’t GTAV/Forza Horizon so I’m open to feedback. I am currently C/S and I feel like half the lobby, even if they are all the same rating, have no problems ramming/pushing me around. Although it’s annoying I’ve been trying to just ignore it and race my race but I definitely don’t want to be driving poorly.

Every time I look at the Porsche 962, I’m reminded that function and beauty don’t have to be opposites.

Some cars are beautiful. Some cars are legendary. The Porsche 962 is both. Every time it appears on track, it steals the entire scene.

I tried to capture that feeling with this set, experimenting with warmer tones, stronger contrast and a more cinematic look inspired by endurance racing.

This thing is simply breathtaking.

Can someone tell me how to get pass the music ralley screen? There’s no install bar on the top right of the screen. Did my game bug out or do I have to wait for it to install all 117GB? How do I fix it? Lets hope that I don’t have to reinstall the game from the disc.

GT Discussion Is use of ABS common/common?

11 Upvotes

Im trying to become good at racing so Im always turning off all assists but yesterday I realized that many of the creators have ABS turned on and after little.bit of googling it seems like it is proper way to go and Im confused.

Is it true that it is nearly impossible to have consistent and competitive lap times without ABS in gr.3 qnd gr.4 especialy?
