Protip: Race car liveries are like war paint. Get an anime livery to your opponents.

8:45 - 8:52 I did not expect the savagery😂

How to improve on Gran Turismo Sport, Step one: Embrace the penalties

[raymondo]

Also, stop trying to overtake in every corner. Find overtaking spots on the circuits that will make you lose least amount of time.
Some examples:
- Turn 1 at Red Bull Ring is not a good place to make a move because after it there is a long straight with hard braking zone. Instead try to overtake in the turns 3 and 4 (turn 4 leads to twisty section where it is easier to defend)
- Good overtaking spots at Interlagos are turns 1 and 4, attempting overtakes in the twisty section will lose your time
There are other examples, write them in the comments if you want.

[mracer]

How to improve: Just press the pedal a bit harder.

[masterhidsert]

Playing with a wheel is a completely different game. That’s when I truly started enjoying my time on GTs!

[Elliottdetroit]

Here are some my tips that others gave me!
Trail braking/ coasting- helps with keeping momentum and speed, no every turn you need to slam on the brakes.

I think using the best car tip is cliche. I prefer to use cars that are best suited to your liking. Whether you're in a open lobby in sport mode use the cars your familiar with.

Drive YOUR driving line. I've witnessed alot people follow other racers into grass or dirt. Or simply just drive off the track trying to follow another racers driver line.. we've all done it but I've learned if I just race my race and drive my line and not worry what the racer in front of me is doing most of time I wont crash.

And last but not least! Know how and when to Dont over take someone midway through the chicane of death on Seaside... dont lunge at someone when theres no opening on turn one on monza... if your faster then someone just wait to over take on a ideal part of the track..

Oh I forgot...if you run the McLaren F1 gr3.. if you cant keep your car from going side ways in a turn go race another car please....for the love of God your ruining the race for everyone else.

[simonbishop]

Small tip from me - if you're racing in Race C or the FIA races, then set up a private lobby and replicate the settings. Then run laps with the tyre and fuel degradation and get a better understanding of what the car will do as a race goes on. This will give you a much better idea of what to expect come race time and improve your results.

[preston]

One tip that has helped me over all is if you are ahead of someone by a couple of seconds and they catch up with you, just let them by. They are obviously faster than you and battling will slow you down or spin you out.

[streettracer]

me: drives whole race in first
me on last turn: yes wall

[michelvanbriemen]

Step 1: Acquire chain
Step 2: Chain the Shadow Realm
Step 3: Pull it behind you
Step 4: Start from Pole Position

[ceebowone]

You don’t need to do one on Forza cause it’s quite simple:

GT Sport - Move out of the way to make your opponent avoid your slip stream.
Forza - move out of the way to make your opponent avoid dive bombing you.

GT Sport - Use the track limits to reduce steering angle and carry more speed into corners.
Forza - Use track limits to avoid being side swiped or punted.

[The.JZA.]

Great video, thanks for the tips! Just expanding on a couple of things you talked about:
Partial throttle mid corner: Some cars are almost undrivable without partial throttle mid corner. Two examples are the Gr3 458 Italia and Hurucan. These two cars have a very pointy front end, mid/rear engine and are both naturally aspirated. This means that when you lift off the throttle they have a lot of engine breaking and when you turn in, the car rotates very quickly. This can cause the car to oversteer known as “lift off oversteer” even when you feel like you’re not going very quickly (sometimes I feel like the tyre physics is a bit whack, like driving on ice). If you use partial throttle in these cars, just enough so that you’re not engine braking, it’s much easier to turn the car in slow/medium speed corners without it snap oversteering. At higher speeds it’s not so bad because of increased downforce. Conversely there are some cars that have a very strong diff lock under acceleration which can cause understeer so partial throttle during the corner can cause you to drift wide but you can still balance throttle application to get you through a corner without slowing down and without understeering.

Braking: Its common for people to brake too much into a corner. It’s a fine balance but if you carry more speed with Gr1-4 cars you have more downforce. The trick is to make sure that you release/reduce brake application before turning in so you don’t overwhelm the front tyres and make the car understeer, make sure you turn in at the correct spot and apply just enough throttle to stop the car slowing or lift off oversteering.

I think that understanding the mechanics of the cars helps a lot with understanding how to make the most of it. The key things to understand would be tyres and not overwhelming them with turning and braking at the same time, limited slip differentials and how they lock up when a torque is applied to them (this can be torque from acceleration or engine breaking) and weight balance of a car such as loading up the front tyres progressively as you turn in or the rear tyres as you exit and how the weight on the tyres changes as you go over crests, through dips, around banked corners etc. Cars are very interesting, technologically advanced machines and their designs vary greatly so having a good understanding of what makes each car unique will help you to get the most out of them. GT Sport has some very realistic vehicle mechanics built in which I think is very cool.

[bigbrick]

I've witnessed strategies for professional GT sport racers and I once watched their replays.
This is quite clever though
They adjust their gear ratios so that their
first gears are long. This gives them better smoothness in power control as they enter low speed turns.This smoothness reduces tyre wear which means that they will have more grip than the rest as the race continues.
It's no longer about how fast you approach a turn, as long as you turn in smoothly and release the wheel in the same manner, then there's no trouble

[raymondo]

How to be faster: complete a lap around the track quicker, simply lovely

[truevulgarian]

8:50 Absolutely savage and unwarranted take-out.

[neillaidlaw]

Thanks GT, I’m just really getting into Gran Turismo now after it sitting unused for months. Many thanks for all the tips and your other content. Games have come a long way since Outrun on the c64. ( yes I’m old...)

[skilewis]

For your number...
5. Qualify w/ ghost on. Get used to driving as close to it as you can. Helps when racing close w/ other cars.

7. Watch replay of your practice & use pause to find good breaking markers if the usual ones don't work. Mult markers for the same situation R good if another car is blocking your sight of UR ideal marker.

8. Experiment in practice to find the limits in each corner. Some tracks have harsher track limits & sometimes only at certain corners (ie Le Mans, Tokyo Expressway)

9. Slip streaming will increase your speed requiring U to break a tad earlier or change your line. It takes practice to mod your line w/o loosing lots of time or running off track.

10/11/16. Some high powered cars really benefit by waiting for full throttle untill the car is almost totally streight. Can sacrifice speed but help lots in tire life & faster over the race. Helps to do more of a late apex line.

15. If a car is more than 0.5 sec behind it's near impossible for them to make an immediate clean pass (watch out for the slipstream)

17. Back off the throttle / short shift while in slipstream.

Respect! Best bundled info pack to GTS I've ever seen. Great tutorial.
Greate Respect for yor Fairplay on the track against some Mario cart drivers also. Top!

[boostr]

I haven't played gran Turismo in years and its really cool to see that all the driving techniques I use in real life racing coming into fruition in a game. ths is sick
