Discussing GT4 in ACC

It seems to me that although GT4 forgets small mistakes, it requires stability and maximum driver performance and not allows a "ragged" ride.

Personally, it is easier for me to drive GT3.

 

I don't think they're more easy to drive than GT3s, they're more forgiving (ie they are pretty stable and can eat kerbs, you have less risk to crash). But to be fast you have to have a deadly precision as having a bad line and loosing momentum is far more costly due to the lack of power. Overall I have more fun in GT4 as they permit more overtakes and close racing but I can understand that people don't really want to race in the lower class and having to yield with blue flags (male ego I think is to blame )

Edit : I didn't see Roman post above and I agree absolutely.

 

You don't have to yield the only thing is not defend.

The problem is multiclass takes more skill which is beyond a lot of drivers in the average MP server.

However for the CP stuff (which I really enjoyed in GT3 lately) I wish Kunos would:

1. bunch all the GT4 cars into 1 CP server.
2. Show before you join CP server whether there are enough people willing to use GT4 to make fun race.

But somehow Kunos doesn't seem that intent on "perfecting" the CP stuff. Possibly because it's sort of a halfway house between actual iRacing scheduled racing with protest system and just normal pickup MP race.

 

I tried to search with no results in the forum, but the Gt4 Paul Ricard 2019 layout is not the same in which the race was held.
The GT4 layout has the chicane in the middle of rettifilo.
I realized this by comparing the real race times, and then watching the events on Youtube.

 

Yeah it's known, the GT4 DLC is a car pack and so it came with no track. Maybe in the future the new layout will be available but don't be impatient and don't get false hopes.

 

I'm sure that a GT4 2020 DLC hopefully with the Ford Mustang and Toyota Supra will be coming $ometime $oon $o we can $pend even more on our favorite hobby.

 

In a livestream Aris said, that they dont have the license for 2020 gt4.

 

... yet

He said "yet "

 

So much meaning wrapped up in one small word, eh? @AndyK70

Gives us hope!

 

Here's hoping too!

 

I find it a bit sad that the modern Supra has fallen in to GT4 ranks, Supra should be a GT3 class car. Nissan went the right way with the GTR.

 

The base car has 340 HP. I'd guess thats a bit low for GT3.

 

If its nothing to do with DLC why are all the DLC tracks less popular and populated than the ones which come free with the game ? im fairly sure DLC is a factor in participation just as it is in just about every other game with paid DLC content that's separate from the main game.

I also disagree that GT4 is harder than GT3.

 

Imola had a bumper back to back weekend on tsg, servers literally stuffed.
We've just had a 9 hour of kyalami.

The dlc stuff is just as popular, if not more so.

Yeah, I'm racing there in my Camaro GT4, too and had many exciting races. I'm not the one to win races, more the one to be in the races and fill up the grid but having a blast. The racing is very clean, even at starts (T1) seldomly there is a crash. Not experienced a pile up so far in my 4 weeks being there.
In the rules there is also that gentlemens agreement, if you push someone out or spin him, you wait for him and queue in behind him.
I'm very pleased with the service and the races they provide. Sadly I'm not able to race every night.

 

@AndyK70 I love the simgrid daily races as well. Like you I can’t race every night but it’s nice to have a decent place to race that doesn’t require a fixed time commitment that many leagues do, where you have to be there each week at a certain time or are penalized if you miss a session.

You mentioned rules - the only rules I found were for their non-daily races, which included stuff about liveries and other things. Would you mind pointing me to where the dailies rules are, I didn’t see any.

 

I was linked to the rules on their discord channel while I was in the #daily channel.
So I think they want to have the same etiquette in the daily races as well, but not enforcing it so strictly (at least while it is still beta). Though there is a #incidents channel in the daily-races group, where you can report misbehavior.

 

I am a little bit late to the GT4 party but finally there. Did my first couple of races in the Ginetta and like I hoped for it is totally awesome! Great sound and great handling. I love that the Ginetta allows for some abuse without suffering instant big time loss like it happens in GT3. Don't need to be that super-precise-machine-like with the throttle and coming off the brake because there is none of the aero pitch sensitivity.

At first I tried some open lobby, unfortunatly only very few drivers in there. Jumped in some mixed servers, basically had no GT4 racing there but it was fun surviving the starts with GT3s behind and enjoy some hint of multiclass feel when getting lapped. Also did the first championchip race, AI is kinda slow but at Monza I could still have a good race because the Ginetta is just weak there I guess. Also did the simgrid daily which was great. 30 guys battling for 25mins, people had fun and clean race.

 

Yes GT4 makes some really nice races. We just started a new points series yesterday with double 25min races on Thursday nights. First race was Brands Hatch and both races' winners were determined in the last lap!!
