Fuel- save fuel by backing off and getting on the gas earlier/later respectfully.
Gas is used when you press gas, so use the natural slow zones etc to coast more than slam on brakes.
Tires- goes off second point above to an extent, tires will wear faster if you slam on brakes and accelerate aggressively coming out of corners, coast into corners to reduce the amount of brake pressure you need, and accelerate coming out when you are out of the apex of the corner, basically... Don't get heavy on the gas till the car is pointing straight.
I do this in all racing games I play, the rules are pretty universal, in this game I can usually in a 20 lap race on 250% wear, pit 1 time less then all the AI by end of race.
It takes a bit but sounds like your too aggressive and that's why your tires and gas are depleting so fast.
You can read more about it here.
Lapping the 'amateurs' in 5 lap races, best I can do against 'pro-am' is midfield. I can't even think about trying the higher difficulties.
Should you create a true 'Career Mode' (please!), don't close it off to noobs like me with difficulty settings like you do in the current 'Arcade' mode.
The old AI you wouldn't of been midfield, it would of been 1st by 5 laps, or last by 3 laps behind, there was no middle ground.
The update made the AI more spread out so some are better than others etc, hence midfield finish. So now the midfield is something you can test yourself with, like can I do alittle better and gain another spot type deal?
It's fun just have to practice and you'll do better
Also, the AI definitely has tyre wear and they make more mistakes the higher the wear if their line is normally close to a wall.
This is not about the diffculty being too high, it's about the gap between the difficulties.
But you shouldn't be finding that you're lapping everyone in one difficulty and going up to the next level and find you're being lapped by everyone else.
Is that the case when you match up the vehicles and tracks up? Or do you mean just in general? It would be good to help work out if the difference is between the AI for vehicles or the AI in game modes.
Pro Is way More easier in free mode than arcade. Playing GT in Whistley Valley in PRO is more easier in FREE MODE than ARCADE.
In Arcade racing the master GT, i notice most AI cars don't have a name. But are called "Pro 1", "Pro 2", "Pro 3". So I am going to do a "dangerous" thing here, and asume the Pro stands for the AI level Pro. I also notice, I finish in the back of the pack a lot, with the few cars that do not have a Pro 1,2 3 etc as name,. So the few cars with an actual name finish in the back.
I match everything best I can. So the first race in arcade is: Whistler full track, GT's, Pro, 20 laps and a qualifyer.
When I do this race in Arcade mode. I am happy with 7th or 8th qually. And cant hold on to anything more really. my pace is around a 24,4 around whistler with some good tires.
When I do the same in free mode. Qually is not much different. But can jump a couple of cars on lap one. Can stay out until lap 10, pit once and go to the end. In Free mode, I notice lead cars pitting a second time in lap 17 or 18. Which puts me in front, defending for the win.
This does not happen in Arcade mode. In arcade I struggle to get closer to the cars in front driving in the middle of the pack. And when I am racing side by side, I am often surprised about how much traction the AI cars something have coming off a corner.
I'm beginning to think this has less to do with the AI itself. And maybe something to do with acceleration stats or grip levels and tire degradation ( the last bit maybe explaining the difference in pitstops for AI cars between arcade and free mode ). Perhaps the AI has more traction to play with in Arcade when accelerating. There is a notable difference in how difficult arcade mode is vs free mode. My main problem seems to be to close the gap, or stay in front. Straight line speed is fine. Sometimes I even get to pull away in the straights when I get it right. Just ran back to back races. Free mode 2nd, Arcade 9th. And I was doing better in arcade mode. I'll have to dig a bit deeper to figure out what is going on here. Having fun with the game none the less.
