Help:Driving

Welcome to the driving help page! This is where amateurs can hopefully learn how to hang with the pros.

Let's ge the basics down first. Hey, we've got to start somewhere!

Basics
Assuming you use a wheel, position the wheel, pedal assembly and screen as close as possible the dead middle of the table, leaving room to one side for your PlayStation if you don't have somewhere else to put it. You can use the driver's-eye-view to line the wheel up with the car's steering wheel emblem.

Once your steering wheel is set correctly, mash the gas to ge tthe car up to 50 or so and then brake. Next, go up to 60 and so on until you reach 100.

Now, select the Daytona International Speedway's superspeedway setup. If you don't have GT5P, then select the Test Course Oval. Once that's done, accelerate to the first turn and time your entry point to go around it.

Good, now you know how to turn the wheel. Go to the High Speed Ring and we'll put that skill to the test.

Intermediate stuff
This is where we learn how to pass cars. Once you get going, stay in your opponent's slipstream to gain speed (which can be heard by the lack of the wind noise). This'll pull you up to them. Jump out and "slingshot" by them.

Assuming it took you to the first turn to get to them, remember to ALWAYS pass toward the curb, or the "inside", unless you're in a big hurry and you have a good enough car. Now, get back to the outside and dtry to outbrake the next one by braking later than they do. This is the way you'll end up passing a lot of cars on your way to the Gran Turismo World Championship, so you might as well master this.
