I wanted to do more racing tonight, alas my crippled body let me down. If I could get into racing just using a controller it would be better, but I don't get the same enjoyment, plus Im rubbish using a controller. When you've been using a wheel since 2001, it's hard to go back. :joy: -
Traitor!
:kissing_heart: -
Luke missed the closest race :joy: You were lagging slightly at times, but nothing major. When we have more people and Luke has more cars it’ll be awesome. I hit level 20 whilst we were playing, so I can now get some practice in single player at the Ring. -
My advice for your first online race, be super cautious. First corner try and take yourself out of harms way and then assess the situation for the first lap or two. If a person behind you is driving erratically just let them past, as they will probably crash a few corners later. I certainly got an adrenaline rush playing it online. -
Just did my first ever online race in GT Pro, it’s the first time I’ve raced randoms in ages. I went into it just trying to not hit anyone, which I achieved. 2 laps from the end though a back marker was trying to ram people in front, when I caught up to him I was watching him like a hawk. Got past him in the last corner at Nurburgring, I knew he’d try and hit me in the first corner, so just before braking I darted to the inside line, then watched him go flying into the wall. I overtook two cars on the last lap, both I presumed didn’t stop for fuel and tyres as they were slow, I came 6th which wasn’t bad, everyone else was racing clean, just this one guy. I enjoyed it though, kinda stressful as it was my first race, but after a few laps I was comfortable.

Just bought my PS+ sub, 15 months for the price of 12. It felt like a lot, but I plan on playing online a lot and also get free games. Batman Telltale is free and I haven't played that. I've played Mankind Divided, but unlike the PC version I believe the PS4 version has HDR support. -
Unlocked my favourite track finally, Interlagos. More racing games should include this track. -
I should be, only GT though as I only have F1 on PC. -
Had a rage last night. I was doing a 30 lap race at Willow Springs, winning by miles, then two laps from the end I lost concentration. Just as I got back on the track P2 passed me, I had 3 seconds to make up in a single lap, drove like a mad man and lost by a tenth. Lesson learnt, keep focused until the end :joy:
Btw Sony have a deal on for PS+, 15 month sub for the price of 12, so that’s what I’ll be getting tomorrow. -
It’s weird though, every time I see it I read it as Luke :joy: -
Hope so, I’d even pay to change it, I hate it that much.Lukedfrt said:I'm sure i read somewhere the other day that they are finally going to let people change user names.. I could do with a capital L in mine! -
Content wise I'd agree, but online from what I've seen is a lot better and feels professional. They have now added a normal career, but I'll just stick custom races until I can play online. Currently doing a 30 lap race at Brands Hatch in a Honda Civic R.
You can look at Sport and put it in the same bracket as Prologue but with more content, I'm pretty sure GT7 will come out at some point, maybe 20 knowing PD :joy:
Also, unrelated, but I hope Sony let us change our PSN names soon, I don't want to be called hughesyboozy anymore, it doesn't even use a capital ffs lol. You've been able to do this on Xbox for many years, so I don't get why you cant on PlayStation... -
Had to leave work early today because of family issues. I'm now at home and playing GT Sport, holy smokes does it look good on PS4 Pro running 4K HDR.
I love the physics and already feel comfortable, the FFB is also pretty good. It's a shame it doesn't have more real world tracks, especially as it's a licensed FIA game, but the made up ones are still fun to drive. I still think Sony made them rush something out because PD take so long to make anything, but what is there is great. -
Just to reinforce my point about GPU prices on the rise and the reason I bought a PS4 Pro rather than a new GPU, bloody miners ruining PC gaming

Nice, this is going to be awesome if we can all get together. Hopefully mine comes tomorrow, thankfully the PS4 supports my T500rs wheel, I'd be awful using a controller. -
Welcome back. I’ll want to get some practice in before I embarrass myself online :joy: I’ll probably buy PS+ on Friday, possibly a years sub so I don’t have to worry about it. I’m quite enjoying gaming on PS4 Pro, so I look forward to hopefully racing some of you. -
Just bought it, I had points to use up on Shopto so I only paid £15, next week I'll get PS+ so I can play it online. I like the online system for it, as it's similar to iRacing. -
I’m massively impressed with the PS4 Pro. Horizon Zero Dawn looks better than some of the games I play on PC, also Last Of Us at 4k brilliant considering it was first made for PS3. Something weird has happened, I’m starting to prefer the DS4 controller over the Xbox One controller. Only the analogue triggers suck compared to X1, when using the X1 my thumbs hurt because the tops are too small with the raised edge.
I think the next game I’m going to buy is GT Sport, if I buy PS+ I’m up for racing anyone here that has it :) Sport is really cheap on Shopto at the moment as well.
Even though the pro vents a lot of heat, it’s so much quieter than the og PS4. Never thought I’d go back to console gaming except the Nintendo Switch, but here I am and I’m loving the Pro. -
Maybe mine was still launch stock, although I didn't get it on day of release it wasn't long after I got it.
I can only justify it as I got the money for nothing. I went ahead and bought one and I'm just transferring 200gb of data lol. I won't be playing it today I doubt, as I'm still suffering from an illness. Unless you have a 4k TV it's a bit of a waste, although it improves performance at 1080p. What I didn't realise is how big the pro is, it's the same as an Xbox One, yet the Xbox One X is smaller than both and a lot more powerful.
Your CPU is being wasted slightly. I did think about putting this money towards a new GPU when the next gen is released, but GPU prices are increasing because of miners and its going to price me out of a high end GPU. I still see my PC as my main platform, but if I can't justify the cost I won't upgrade, whereas before I was upgrading every year or two. When I started PC gaming, high end GPU's were £300-£350, now they are £500+ -
You can, I also bought toppers for them but it made them feel weird. It’s strange as PS3 controllers had the thickest rubber known to man, more than Pirelli F1 tyres meaning thay last forever. With this controller they have gone the other way. -
My PS4 isn’t, but then it isn’t my main platform, but it is on the edge of not working, plus both my controllers analogue sticks rubber have torn like a cheap condom :joy:
It’s annoying that they are starting to roll out instant cheque cashing, but not for me it seems, so it won’t be until next week I can get it. Game have a nice deal for the pro, but it’s the white version, I’d prefer black, but if the deal is still on next week I’ll get that as I’m not too fussed about the colour. -
Got a nice cheque through the post today, once it’s in my account I’m probably buying a PS4 Pro. -
Yes but Ferrari refuse to do any documentaries like this so... ;) -
Lol that’s US date mate, it’s the 9th of February

First, buy a Toyota S-FR 2015. Up its power to just before the rating changes to N200, as you want to keep it at 100, also lower its weight to the minimum and fit race super soft tyres.
Then go to custom race, select Nordschleife 24h layout. Set the race to endurance which will be 10mins. Use standing start, set ai to use GR1 cars, also set them to pro and start in last place. Now here's the clever part, set fuel usage to X10, they will run out half way around the track. Make sure you turn boost off as well. So it's basically a 1 lap race and you can win over 200000 credits If you pass them all clean with no contact.
:sunglasses:
Edit: And with that I just got to 1 million and then bought the Bugatti Vision concept car. Unlike some GT Vision cars it has a interior. 1,626bhp :worried:
