How to avoid troubles and crashes in Gran Turismo Sport? Gran Turismo Sport Guide, Tips

Last update: 11 July 2018

Sometimes maintaining a position is not a good choice. Blocking a faster opponent makes sense during the last lap, but in the middle of the race it's better to let them go without risking an accident. You will be overtaken anyway, and an additional fight bears the risk of other drivers in the back reaching us. Even more important is the fact that you transfer the pressure from ourselves to the opponent - you don't have to constantly look in the mirror and they can, at some point, make a mistake and get out of the track. Sometimes it is better to be behind someone than in front!

Last lap before the finish line. Lamborghini is fighting for victory, but the driver knows that they're much slower. Trying to block at all costs, they greatly increase the probability of a mistake...

Also remember not to overtake at all cost if you approach the opponent a bit. Some track sections are too narrow or winding for such maneuvers. Another driver, even without malicious intentions, may simply not be able to leave enough space for you and you and you both will end up out of the track. Wait patiently for the right moment, take advantage of delayed braking before cornering or the slipstream (wind tunnel behind the car) on straight lines.

If you see two or three fighting cars ahead of you, driving side by side in a corner, if a driver behaves aggressively, pushes others, changes the line - do not push yourself into such situations, do not join the scuffle! Stay close, because most of them will soon be eliminated. Sometimes it's good to wait for a really convenient moment to sneak past the busy fighters. Avoiding trouble is often very difficult at the first corner, especially when you're in the middle of the stake. Sticking to a peloton of cars speeding up to high speed, which must suddenly fit in a fairly narrow throat, almost always causes "casualties."

From 15th place to 12th after the first corners. And it will get even better.

Theoretically, you should then forget about the braking points, especially since the speed is not as high as it should be, and focus on the stop lights of the cars ahead of us, but then you risk a hit from behind. Another option is to slide off the optimal path and brake where there's the most space. Sometimes you lose this position or two, but it's always better than being out of the track. You can also try to push yourself between slowly turning cars. You should adjust our behavior to the specific situation, track and location of opponents behind us.

Sometimes a slightly delayed braking may translate into a promotion by several positions.
