Gran Turismo Sport - daily races

I've been consistently hitting 1:15 in mediums, not sure if that's a good time or if I'm doing something wrong. Keep struggling with the last long corner as well.. Do you take it as two apex or one?

From what I can remember on the last corner you may have to lift off a little to get round the full corner. @Mikepjbell  I know from previous experiences said he found a way to take the full corner without braking but i'm trying to find that myself. Whether that is impacted by controller or wheel i'm not sure.

Its not possible, I had a specific thing switched on which allowed me to do it. Its Tom's fault!

I've been tapping the brake at the 100m marker and downshifting to squeeze it. Are you practicing in a lobby, or just the offline time trial? Not sure why but  time trials always give me a false sense of security, maybe the cars aren't balanced?

You can take the corner almost flat if you down shift and turn in smoothly at the 150m board and slightly run the kerb on the inside. 
 

However as the race runs on and understeer becomes more of an issue then you will need to tap the brake on entry to get the nose in

If you practise in the single player time trial then you need to make sure that in the settings menu, you enable BoP (Balance of Power) for the circuit.  The main problem with testing in a time trial is you can't specify fuel or tyre wear so if you want to figure out strategy you need to do it in a lobby.  I also prefer to do any practise in a lobby as it's much easier to try different cars out rather than having to reload the track over and over.

That's a really useful tip, considering my usual strategy is hammer it until I run out of fuel, then panic😂

The single player time trial tracks also have more grip for some reason, so even with all other settings the same, it would still give a false time in comparison.

Can people recommend some good GR4 cars to try. I only have the TT and McLaren, I don’t just wanna randomly buy cars if they’re gonna be shit and slow.

I'll probably use the TT as it's a very strong car on this track.

 

If you have credits to burn you could also try the VW Scirocco.

I’ve just bought the 4C and the Citroen 

Note, there's an update to Gran Turismo Sport today, it's not massive but the copying is very slow.

I've added the reverse version of Lago Maggiore for Race 2, using Gr.2.
