Tried the challenge again last night and didn't get any ghosts other than my own
Can you turn off the face off challenges that appear on the track? I am finding some of those is certain places can be really distracting. I improved my time so I am happy. I am not expecting to be competitive as I only got the game a couple of days ago but just driving around and around trying to improve my time is fun. This game seem to have a few quirks to its handling. |

Yeah, sometimes the lead ghost doesn't show, which can be a pain.
Don't think you can turn the face-offs off. Does this challenge finish tonight or tomorrow? Haven't managed to spend any real time on it yet, and I need to set up the next one too. |

What do you mean beforehand this is a new track.
I think its tips from lisa and ian we need, not me lol. Only thing id say is in general. If you can get racing lines correct then green corners can be taken flat out, yellow by lifting off accelerator and red you need to brake before and shed a good bit of speed. Sometimes slower is quicker on corners. Drifting is rarely quicker and generally the more screeching from tyres the slower you'll be. Lisa is always fast. She simply knows how to drive racing lines. What speed and angles to take corners. It makes such a difference especially with a lot of corners together as if you also get your exit right, you're in good shape for your next corner. I consider myself a seasoned racer and know about racing lines etc but my problem is I'm extremely slow at this game, the handling is possible too different to what I'm used to with Gran Turismo, Forza Motersport Formula One (all without any assists) being my preferred choice. I think more practice is certainly needed in the offline Tour mode. Thanks for the help though, I still plan on eventually beat you, lol.

Can't speak for Lisa, but I use standard PS4 pad with standard layout. For camera view I prefer the furthest behind the car view, although this means I often miss the best graphical experience! Just my preference though.

Ah! I'm using the cock-pit view as I do with all racing games, do you think the external view helps you with getting better lap times?
For me, I find the cockpit view too restrictive. As for controller, I just use the DS4, though I have switched the handbrake to 'square' as that's what I was used to on NFS Rivals. |

I'm also no good at drifting either, lol. Too much sim racing, methinks.

I think it's just what you're used to. I use the bonnet cam as I find it gives a good sense of speed but still gives you some idea of where the car is relative to the road.

Wash, if you wanted you could Shareplay with somebody. That way the other person would be able to see what you're doing and give you pointers.
But at the end of the day, practice will go a long way. |

Had a go at the latest challenge set by the DS guys and i'm about 15-20 seconds off the top time. Some of the guys really have mastered how to take the corners and the cars they are driving in.

i'm improving every time i play it unfortunately when i improve in one section i screw another up i just want to shave another couple of seconds off and i'll be happy. I don't drive irl so using automatic transmission but making some of the gear changes myself as the game doesn't change up fast enough.

This game more than any other driving game really gives me a dilemma over which view to use. Do I pick the nice looking cock-pit view for the next-gen feel or do I choose the ugly outside view because I can perform better using it on some events. I guess once the buzz of a new game wears off I will just pick whichever view I can get the fastest times with, but for now I will keep racing the cock-pit view for the most part. |

Some people have done over 40 attempts!!!
That's just mentalI get bored after a dozen or so times at most. This one has been an exception as its a new track & I've maybe done it about 20 times but I can't be bothered doing any more laps |

IME wheels are slower than pads, more fun probably, but just not delicate or precise enough.
I've always found that the extra precision you get with a decent ffb wheel/pedals & the extra feedback you get via the ffb gives a much better feel for what the car is doing which helps with precision & that allows me to set faster times. |

Given the ease at which I tend to mess up, it can lead to a high number of attempts - I don't like leaving time on the track. (Particularly when Yuffie is ahead of me )

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, getting used to how each car handles and the nuances of each track. The new Japan tracks have basically just been a lesson in trial and error figuring out does doing xyz make me any faster or slower - those average speed face offs help a lot with that. Quote:

On this track, more than most it's so easy to bugger up the whole lap on the slightest error and you need 2 perfect last sectors on consecutive laps to ensure the maximum best and it's a new track so it takes a while to get into the rhythm of it.
Hats off to those dedicated to keep pushing themselves though, I just can't be bother lol |

There is a setting that seems to turn them off alongside the hud opacity settings. I can't remember what it's called off the top of my head but I'll have a look next time I'm on and report back if you haven't already figured it out.

In fact sometimes they can be a good help. Like the driving line one and the average speed ones can be very helpful to see how you're daring out against other people on a particular corner. The drift ones are useless as I find drifting slows you down. But I do like to try and beat them all on a lap that I've already fudged up. |
