GT-Sport Gran Turismo Sport - General

Yeah I knew it's not a great choice to be competitive with. But I rarely get a chance to race FIA so I won't ever get that high.
I like an underdog car anyway. When people get beaten by the worst car it kinda hurts more lol

Sounds about right

Prior to the last update I thought the penalty system was working as well as it has ever been. Now it's gone backwards again, penalties for the slightest of contact that affects very little but go full noise and send a car to the next track... Nothing, play on... Very frustrating.

Not bad for my first outing with Toyota, 11th to 4th and a clean race. Mind you some numbnut got racey on the quali out lap, bumps in the side of me trying to avoid a guy fuel saving and I get 1 sec penalty for 'colliding with another car'

Well done on the clean race. SR down to 92 for me with some of those random penalties, but happy enough with P10 given I was #17 in the lobby. Bananajosh smashed it though with P1!

The top split guys have fared no better, they've gone off at PD in twitter overnight. Adam Suswillo - 10 secs for an aggressive pit entry (slight contact to the car in front out of the final turn then they both pit). Jomas - 4 secs from a bump from behind by Quentin that saw Jomas rub the pit wall.

Interesting take on the logic of the Suswillo penalty in a reply to his tweet. Contact made by Suswillo to Fechix, both pit. Game sees loss of position caused by Fechix's pit stop as caused by the contact and so bad, gives Suswillo penalty.

I got lynched with a 10 second pit lane penalty as well.

I had pitted on lap 5 for some new mediums, as we rounded the last turn I had a run on Kyzza and co iin front. Kyzza tries to go in to pit lane but I was already side be side, he slams in to the side of me 3 or 4 times before giving up and going for another lap. As I crossed the line I got flagged with 10 seconds. That is on top of the 4 seconds I already had from some absolute lawn chair slamming in to the side of me from the outside coming in to the uphill hairpin at the start of sector 2.

Ended with 16 seconds of penalties overall, none of them was from intended contact on my behalf, but others using my car as turning devices.

I'll upload the race tonight

Got back into top split after PD nuked my account over the weekend, and it was a success despite a fracas with one of the more interesting FIA regulars...

Hi all,
Apologies if this is a stupid question but will I have issues running in the GT Sports league on PS4 if my network is running as NAT3?
I have reasonable speed (23 down, 2.5 up) but my NAT is set to 3. I have tried port forwarding on my router (TCP 80, 443, 1935, 3478-3480 and UDP 3478, 3479) and given the PS4 a static IP (connected via cable) but even with a router and PS4 reboot the NAT remains at 3.

Any advice???

Yes. NAT2 should be what you are getting

That's what I thought, just not sure why it remains as NAT3 after the port forwarding.
Hmmm....will continue investigating.
Cheers!

UPDATE: Network issue resolved
After redoing network settings on my router for the PS4 (static IP, Port Forwarding, DMZ setup) I was still getting NAT3.
I finally came across the answer which was at the ISP end.
The culprit.....CG-NAT.
Basically a way for ISP's to use one public IP address and share it across multiple users.

Aussie Broadband (and probably many others) use this by default but ABB allow you to opt-out of using this and they assign you your own dynamic public IP address.

When set to CG-NAT you will always get NAT3 no matter what you do to our own network, but once you get your own dynamic IP you get NAT2.

Glad that's sorted...

Well played

I'm with Aussie Broadband too. Completely forgot about this. I remember getting an email almost 2 years ago saying they were going to put everyone on the same public address you mentioned. They said it would not adversely effect most customers except gamers and a few other niche customers. They said to ring them if you would like to opt out and keep your own IP address. It was really easy. Done in 2 minutes for me.
Couldn't be happier with them. They are always upfront and easy to deal with. I've been really happy with them and my internet.

Good to see you got your NAT issue sorted.

BTW folks, you don't need to forward TCP ports 80 (http) and 443 (https) to your PS4 - it is not a web server.
