How many hours have you put into Gran Turismo Sport already?

There was a patch today to improve matchmaking (not sure what that has to do with the local copy of the game, yet that's what it said in the patch notes). Willing to give it a try I put a good qualifying time up for Brands Hatch. 5 races later, nope no improvement, well maybe worse.


Instead of being 3rd now with 2 drivers out of my league, I'm now 6th due to the game filling it up with SR.A drivers while my SR score is fully maxed again.

I tried again later when more people should be on, out of 6 races, no chance of pole or a competitive top, always an DR.A driver at pole (usually the same one) at least 1.5 sec faster, DR.B in second. I'm still at DR.D I guess there are so few of them that the game can't match them anywhere else so just gives them easy wins. I refrain from knocking them out of first place in the first corner, then they simply run faster laps, I'm not at A level. So pretty boring race at the top until someone behind starts to dive bomb...
I had a few place 3 and place 2 starts. Some races position just stays the same, other knocked to the back by the usual crap. Last one some trading places with 4th place who liked to place his car in the way, the race stayed clean though and I lost him later. Cost enough time for 1 and 2 to escape out of reach.

Yet small miracles do happen, ghosting system finally prevented a penalty!

Too obvious buddy. I guess he got frustrated with whatever happened to him and waited a lap to harass the top 3. I was chasing nr 2 there in the distance after 4th place had delayed me. He could have just waited for the corner and used me as a bumper, game is fine with that move.

Anyway it's time for more content, or more people. This is on Saturday afternoon and matchmaking simply cannot deliver a competitive race with 11 sec gap between qualifying times. At least I had 4 clean race bonuses in a row before someone broke my streak.

Looks like my DR rating hasn't changed at all, oh was 1067 yesterday.
