Having briefly tried the new patch today in one race, I'm cautiously optimistic with the changes to GT Sport mode races.


It now also shows the lag each player has. Not that it helps, but it's a good warning to stay clear from high ping racers.

When you or the person hitting you gets a penalty it briefly displays the reason. Too briefly and too small as you don't have time to pay attention to that but at least the effort to make it more transparent is there. I only got hit once so way to early to notice any improvements.

The result screen now shows your finish position, how many places you moved up (or down) and what I expect is your starting position based on your best lap time. Good for me as I don't really enjoy qualifying and rather race from the back climbing up and this gives me some recognition for that play style.

I played the FIA test for the first time yesterday... unfortunatelly I'm still on the low bracket...

Some shitheads spoiled like 2 or 3 of my decent timelaps with crashing me on the corners...

Worse offender was on the 1h endurance that I got AI ramming and spinning me ON THE STRAIGHTS... took like 5h to clear the race (won with only 3s advantage)... and I'm still sad they erased all our best times.

I saw, they improved the stability of car handling (made it easier) and for that erased all the single player times :(

I was wrong about the result screen, mistranslation I guess. It says ^ 9 places, you are now position 9. Great race. Except I finished in 7th with the fastest lap time. So it just means I gained 9 places, not what my starting position could have been or anything else. And with finishing in 7th my DR ranking still doesn't move nor do you get any extra xp or money for gaining places. Qualifying is pretty much mandatory if you want to move up or get more than an insulting amount of money/xp.

Spend the cash from single player well, multiplayer takes forever to make money. (There is a cheat people use to let auto drive generate cash over night if you really need that car. It also gives xp so this whole always online to protect integrity bullshit ship has sailed already)
