I've done my fair share of online racing. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to race in an leagues but I do enjoy racing other people when I have the time.

Half the problem with online racing is that a lot of people (probably kids) don't know how to race. It's aggravating when you try to make a clean pass on someone and they purposely ram into you to prevent the pass. That's no fun.

I actually prefer keeping most of my cars mostly in their stock form with either some very mild modifications and sport soft tires.

That's right.

I got tired of over tuning every car that I owned just to make it undrivable. Plus, the seasonal events are much more enjoyable when you earn the win. It's no fun wining the race on the first lap.

I do seasonals and stuff but Im pretty much an online racer so my cars need to be tuned. Defininatly need my racing soft tyres too. One of my fav things to do on GT is tune, I love it.

If you search a little bit you can usually find 450-550 pp rooms running sport softs. Tune and setup is especially important in those sorts of races and, frankly, you'll find more clean and fun racing than your typically "max 900 HP" room

I never run in high pp or hp rooms. Usually keep it 5-600 at the highest. I cant get on board with anything but racing tyres, sorry I like my grip. Comfort hard for drift or gymkhana though. I run w some pretty good racers and we are all about keepin it clean. I usually host so I make sure nobody is clownin around. My PSN is InebriHATED, anyone looking for good clean races add me.

Zaggeron · 06-17-2011, 09:21 PM

Zaggeron on the PSN too. I'll add you tonight or tomorrow -- probably be online tomorrow, but not tonight.

I end up having to run race softs most of the time too because most of the rooms don't restrict the tires. Really though, if the game were consistent with its physics from race tier to race tier in A Spec, people wouldn't be surprised at the lack of grip on sport tires when they go online.

I added you but you aren't showing up in my GT5 community yet. You might need to log back into the game before you appear in my community. I'll send you over a brand new 370Z as soon as I can.

Isamu, have you started GT Mode yet? You still not showing up in my GT5 Community list. I see you in my PS3 friends list but not within the game itself.
