I actually got the Radical free when I originally signed up to iRacing (back in '09), and I've had many happy miles around Oulton (my fav' UK circuit).
Yeah my internet's being crappy as well, I once destroyed my iRating when I was having connection issues I gave the Fiesta Rallycross car a go, it's better than the Beetle but the brakes still lock really easy
Just downloading Le Mans now but it's taking ages. Do you have all the DLC in Assetto Corsa BTW? I've got most of it (only missing the ready to race pack) if you wanted to borrow it. Also got quite a lot of content in Raceroom. |

The sounds are often criticised I think they're hit and miss, Raceroom has amazing sounds. I don't love AC the same way I did their previous title (netKar-PRO), being into single seaters and how uncompromising nKPro was. I fully get the direction they went with AC, GT3 cars ( ) etc., but laser-scanned tracks are a massive bonus for me.
Outside of iRacing they're the only people regularly doing it, I think Raceroom and Forza scanned the Ring, and pCARS 1 did a few UK circuits. |

I see you were driving the A90 on Le Mans. Nice choice |

I spun it about 4 times on the outlap then gave up I didn't think iR logged test sessions? The weakness with the tyre model's how it loses grip IMO, something unnatural about the way it goes. In saying that the most fun I had was a week 13 event (ages ago) when they had the Legends car running on road courses. Those things slide everywhere. |

Back in Gran Turismo Sport, spent 3 hours making pictures. Very addictive, I must say. I never liked the feature in GT4 (PS2). ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

No, you cannot, but it really isn't an issue.
But, here's what I think of the GT sport
The singleplayer is only good for you to learn the tracks, how to drive the cars and how to use the HUD. There is no challenge whatsoever finishing the whole single player content. It used to be challenging, but then angry parents wrote a letter to Polyphony digital and they then decided to release a patch that made everything much easier to quote: ''allow a smoother game experience''. = tl; dr: They give you more time and made the AI slower, so you may finish everything on gold the first time you play.
The online racing, now that is an interesting one. It is fun to compete with humananoids, but every race is as good as the racers in it and when you're a beginner you drive with all sorts of, well let's say not so good and vindictive drivers. The key thing here is the ''Sportsmanship Rating'' (SR). While driving online, you gain SR points for clean racing and you also lose SR points for everything else. SR points is what determines the matchmaking. Now, don't take this like the S rank drivers all play nice, but there are less stupid/vindictive people in the higher ranks.
The SR system got improved a lot since the launch of the game. So it now works pretty well. Before the patching the penalisation system didn't really work, as when someone rammed you, you could end up with a penalty and SR points deduction, for nothing. This happens less nowadays and the system starts to work properly = only the culprits are being punished.
What's superb about the GT Sport, is the actual gameplay and how well it is suited for gamepad. Driving the cars is actually fun and ''real enough''.
Cars selection is good and every car is nicely done with well balanced driving feel. But, you don't really have to buy cars, nothing really motivates you to do so, as you get one very single day (daily challenge drive about 50km, not sure right now) and you're going to be getting cars for finishing the single player challenges and other milestones in the game. I only buy those cars, that I want to use for scapes/taking pictures.
Tracks are alright as well. No classic GT tracks, though.
TL; DR: It is a good game, I like it. But I got it on sale and do not advice you to pay full price for it. Try a pre-owned copy first. This isn't a regular Gran Turismo game. This is a online racing (e-sport?) game, that happens to have some single player content. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

So better than the iRacing system (which started the whole thing) that blames and penalises both drivers All it leads to is drivers doing c**ty moves and expecting you to jump out the way, as unfortunately a lot of people do. |
They improved the SR system a lot. Even the ''undesirable behaviour'' prediction system got improved. I'm talking about the system that turns the culprit into a ghost before he/she can ram you off the track. I know this takes a lot of realism out of the game, but it also makes the game less frustrating to play when you get a kamikaze on the grid.
But as said in my post above, it takes some time before you gain enough SR points to advance into the higher ranks, where there are mostly people who play nice. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
