It's exhausting how little they get penalized

[Godson]

Seriously, wtf.

I have finished higher than my car number every single race this week except for one. I have bested my projected fast time from the site above, and my standings continue to go down.

This makes no sense.

[Rare White Ape]

What are your finishing positions like, tho? And what level are your competitors?

I’ve found that car number is an unreliable indicator of potential points haul or loss. GT awards points based on how well you did against your opponents, and you can still gain a lot of points if you’re a B rated driver near the back of an A rated field.

Best bet (of course) is to aim for top fives every time, if not podiums.

So, put a decent amount of effort into the qualifying before the race for a faster time, than entering a lobby relatively cold and pulling passes?

As I type, I’m currently you going ‘seal clubbing’.

I have a fast quali time in Gr.4 Sardegna so I’m making use of it to grind DR. I’m only getting 2-300 pts for a win. Door number 4 for that one, if it helps.

It’s not a glorious pastime but it still has its challenges. The guy in the Lambo punted me at T1 on lap 1 with no penalty and won the race.

Absolutely. Qualifying is very important. You can check the top ten times and download the replay, or use the ghost to gauge yourself against. Get yourself out of the pack before the race even starts.

This weekend it has been revealed that the Aston Martin DBR9 GT1 from 2010 is being added to the game.

Gimme that V12 scream!

[The359]

Time to fire up the livery editor.

[Rare White Ape]

It’ll be coming in Gulf colours, so paint accordingly.

[The359]

Gulf colors, but not the correct Gulf colors. It appears to be similar to the V12 Vantage GT3's default livery, which is similar to a factory livery, but full of GT Sport's fake sponsor logos.
