Toyota FT-1 GT6 Seasonal Event, #CaptureGT6 Photo Competition Begins

FT-1-Challenge_01

A new Seasonal Event has been released for Gran Turismo 6, which features the Toyota FT-1 Concept at Fuji Speedway in celebration of the car’s appearance at the New York Auto show this month.

Created in partnership with Polyphony Digital and Toyota, the new event has a special reward for the top time: the driver’s replay will be uploaded to the official PlayStation YouTube account, broadcast the channel’s 2.3 million subscribers.

Between April 7th and the 30th, Toyota and SCEA will also be monitoring the #CaptureGT6 hashtag on various social media networks for images posted of the FT-1 Concept, created using GT6’s Photo Travel mode. They’ll be selecting their favorite shots to feature on their own social media accounts, sharing your image to a wide audience of hundreds of thousands of people.

We also have a dedicated forum topic for you to share your Toyota FT-1 Concept images, so be sure to post them here as well. Good luck!

    The rear wing customization it’s interesting but not so usefull (do not really affects on setups); in the meanwhile either the BMW M4 or the Toyota FT-1 (I refer to the one i own) are impossible to improve by adding power ups; for now, i had not the time to prove the online lobby updates, so i have no idea of them values; about the rest, do not worth talking about it…

      I found the rear wing options very useful with the Tesla – try as I might, I couldn’t get a gold lap until that update happened.

    Great, another Seasonal with the same garbage car. I love having 2 undrivable cars… and I can’t even sell them.

    At least they look nice

    Gran Turismo 7 is ready now.. please PD just release it now, you can then inform us via your website, that 99% of the game will be downloadable at some point in the next ten years. Thanks.

      He’s probably one if those morons that’s said they wouldn’t buy GT6 and are now regretting it and just need an excuse to never buy it by saying GT7 is near… I hate idiots.

    I have a few reactions to the comments below…. Firstly it is not a hard event. If you put a little time to it you will have a gold medal. Secondly there is nothing wrong with the handling. You can’t expect it to handle like a race car and then call it stupid when it is not what you expected, try to embrace the handling as it is and do the best time you can with the material. That is the reason it understeers, if you tune it up and put race tires on you will get what you are looking for. But for this event it is street tires with original setup. Embrace… :)

    1. MeanElf

      Agreed – it’s not difficult at all and it is as you suggest, a street car. Too many people around here rely on racing softs…

    2. Jaycue58

      I take your point however when and if this car goes into production you would not expect a front engine rear wheel drive car to understeer to the extent that it does in the game in fact would you buy this car if handled like it does in the game…………..i think not, and be sure i’m not confusing this vehicle with a race car.

    3. mikronimo

      Yes, of course, but drive in a some kind of a race or qualifying (picture it so) always with the hardest tires possible, it’s only a way to artificially complicate the work; then, in each case, who guide better, wins, but would avoid to be in a condition stupidly artificial; in this specific case sport soft tires would been the right choice… but, of course, it would been too realistic for “the real driving simulator”; that definition would have to be applied even to the situation, not only to the driving physics, provided that this (physics simulation) is really real, something that few people can testify, since few can have real machines compared with simulated machines, on the same track, with the same conditions and with the same setup; but this is another story…

      I beleive Jordan drove a real car on a real track, then did the same in GT6 before the game got released. He seemed quite happy with the comparison. I can only assume that most other cars (concepts excluded) are of a similar level.

      The SH as opposed to SS is really a PD thing, they do like to challenge.

    1. Magic Ayrton

      5 laps of going off (missing breaking points) then 2.5 seconds better than Gold.. not that hard really. I do have a T500RS though.

  5. Ben Rogue

    The physics of the FT-1 are very generic, would be nice if they made it more than just a damn good looking car

    1. TokoTurismo

      Nice, haha. :) I got 1:45:337. Despite me being slow, I just wanted to drive the car and have fun. :D

    1. Amac500

      Yes it does, Gran Turismo made a post on their offical Instagram with the hashtag and everything.

  6. super_gt

    I have to say that this car has so big understeer that is undrivable!understeer in understeer out understeer everywhere!and this physics is made from racing driver???come on!and FFB was rubbish huge dead zone at the center of the steering wheel,

    1. BWX

      Yeah I agree, this car sucks to drive. Person must have made physics with race soft tires and srf stuck on.. With no aids and regular type tires, the car is a pig.

    2. Johnnypenso

      I love the fact that SRF is forced off but you’re right, the car isn’t as much fun to drive as it should be because of the entry understeer.

    3. Steph290

      I with you there Toko. I found it easy to drive, but then again I always drive with lower grade tires and aids off. The initial understeer is due to the default/locked 2.0 degrees of rear toe angle, and then dead zone in the center is due in part to Logitech wheels.

    I bought aother one last night and did the 20minutes of Willow. The handling and gearing is awesome. Always fun to drive
