I play the game to drive cars I likely never will in real life. So, how they handle in the game in relation to real life is immaterial. I have nothing to compare it to personally. Since I won't take the word of someone else as to how well the game emulates how a car behaves, and have no empirical data myself to use, I'll be taking the word of the folks that have been coding car behavior for 15+ years. Not that I have much choice, unless I decide to sell all my belongings to buy rides in some of these cars.
From that perspective, every last car in GT is a fantasy car. It's a programmitically artistic interpretation of how that car behaves. It's entirely possible the guy who did the programming for any particular car's behavior, has never driven it either.

The driver's list has been updated to include new time trials submitted in the last couple of days. Those drivers have received their placement messages as well.
Next on the list for me is making some adjustments to the times that everything needs to be done on race night. This is going to be done to make it easier to get started on time. It will require that drivers stop trying to join rooms 1 or 2 minutes before race time and it will allow hosts to start at 9:30 ET instead of waiting for me to give an all clear at 9:30 ET.
After that, I will be working on updating the list of what is a race car and what isn't. The goal is to have all of this done today. The reality is that I have to clean the swimming pool today and play softball tonight so it may not all get done.
Edit: The host and driver responsibility post has been updated with some changes to the times. Please take a minute to read this and note the changes. Also note what has been there all along. I know there are some drivers and hosts out there that don't know what is in this post.

My understanding from reading and hearing quotes is that none of the cars are ever driven. They are all just numbers added to the psychics engine. So things like weight, aero, engine output, tire size, center of gravity are just plugged in and out it spits the results. Kaz also once said that programming in things like the Evo's active yaw was as simple as plugging in some values.
Now whether that creates an accurate model will depend on how good the physics model is. My biggest criticism of the psychics is that they do not get the subtle nuances of the cars such as steering feel and communication that in the real world can make a huge difference in whether the performance of the car is accessible.
Not that I am complaining. They keep getting better and better. Now if they would just give us more real cars I would be happy. Where is my E30 M3

This might help. The PS4 doesn't currently support SNAIL racing. If that means anything to you.

Where exactly are you Ronnie? Anywhere close to Whitby? You can get a refurbished PS3 for $79 with yours as an exchange at the MTC.

There's currently not a GT title for the PS4. I don't think there's any car type title for PS4 yet. Did Drive Club get released yet?

I just can't get past the very beginning of GT1 when they decided to use actual cars in the game. This is what the hook was for me. Especially opening our collectives garages to all the neat production cars available in other parts of the world but denied to us. So from the very beginning my reason for playing was the real life cars created in painstaking detail for me to sample
No interest in cars that have never existed except on paper or as a one-off concept vehicle. I thinks a mental block I have. I don't own an F1 game or Nascar game etc...only GT.

So far only two combos are confirmed and I'm sure @Xradkins is working on the last combo, after the three combos are confirmed, @zer05ive will make a post showing each combo and he'll update the front page with the details.Where do I find the the race info for this weekend and weekends to come (Cars, tracks, etc.)? I wanted to get in a bit of practice before the weekend so that I don't fall too far behind

Ok thanks! Are all three combos confirmed and posted the same day of every week or just whenever they finish them?

I can see where you're coming from there. From here though, and this is just my personal perspective, I don't care to drive cars, in the game, I have the resources to drive for real.

Need For Speed Rivals was a launch game, is so-so, just an up-res'ed 'last-gen' game. Nothing special, and it's a NFS game, as in Arcade...

Drive club is not really classified as a driving simulator, like GT or iracing. More of a driving "MMO". However project CARS is scheduled for release in November last I checked. Definitely classified as a sim. It looks really really good. if it turns out to be as good as expected, I think it may blow GT out of the water, unless they really step up their game for GT7. Definitely a reason to look into picking up a PS4

New combos could be posted as early as Monday night(very unlikely) to as late as Thursday evening before official practice .. Just whenever the prize winners are cleared and when they make their selections.
There is always one carry over combo from week to week and we know that one Monday night(most of the time) when @zer05ive posts the results
