Epic's GTS gallery (NEW PICTURE AS OF 3/29/21)

[Epic B]

Years ago, I had a GT4 gallery and made some photos. It's been a long time, but I'm finally back to take up the torch on GT Sport. I'm probably not going to go with anything specific, just take some random pics and post them.

Left: Could have gotten a LaFerrari from a prize spin but no, had to get the car whose name sounds like lemon. I'm sure it's a fine hot hatch but that's not the point.
Middle: And a car with the color of a lemon, because the prize wheel felt like teasing me and giving me this instead of a McLaren 650S that I'm pretty sure was the GT3.
Right: This prize was from the first set of driving school tests so at least this was a bit fairer.

Left: Not a bad prize spin but there was the McLaren Vision GT on there.
Middle: Track day bro!
Right: I don't have anything to say. I think it just looks cool.

Left: Audi owns Lamborghini.
Middle: "Understeer Engineering"
Right: Northern Isle is becoming one of my favorite tracks in the game, as it provides close, fast paced races and can be driven mostly flat out.​

More pictures will come soon, as I have preordered the Digital Deluxe Edition.

The trackday picture simply looks real 👍

 

[Epic B]

For my final beta prize spin, I once again got the worst luck and got this instead of the Bugatti VGT. And I'm bidding goodbye to the beta now. See you all again next week, when the full game releases.
​

 

[Watchman]

Apart from the latest shot, which looks great, I'm especially digging shot #1 and #3 from your first set of pictures. Keep 'em coming!

 

[Epic B]

Apart from the latest shot, which looks great, I'm especially digging shot #1 and #3 from your first set of pictures. Keep 'em coming!

I'll post more soon, once I get a chance to fire up the full game.

 

[Epic B]

Now that I have played the full game for a while I have a few new photos. The fun part will be taking pictures of all of them, cause I already have so many. With the 2.5 million the deluxe edition gave me plus the 650 grand or so I got from the beta I ended up buying the Tomahawk X, GT-R LM Nismo, Honda Project 2&4, Lexus LC500, BMW i3 and Chaparral 2X. I also bought a Corvette C7 Group 3 Road Car from the Mileage Exchange. I probably wouldn't have bought so many cars had I anticipated the massive amount of prize cars.

Left: I already owned the TT Cup from the beta but the full game gave me a free TTS. I tried starting the game before the 1.02 patch was done downloading and it gave me a red TTS but it of course couldn't connect. So I ended up with a blue one instead.
Middle: We Are Number One
Right: Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation

Left: Safety Dance
Right: Pacing problems​

 

[Epic B]

Got a few more.

Left: Mine's the scratched up black one because yes, it is hard to drive a car with the extreme handling precision at over 300 mph. I think I geared it for just over 310 here, though I have pushed it over 330 elsewhere.
Middle: Got a Group 1 Bugatti. Seems like an alright car.
Right: Group 4s at Suzuka East. Might try a Group 4 that isn't the Scirocco, the Mustang seems good from the missions and such I've tried it in.

Right: Tried the TT I got. Really impressive car.​

 

[Epic B]

It's that time again, now that my flash drive seems to have stopped hating me or something.

Left: Cool looking widebody Corvette.
Middle: A Mustang is an odd choice for a rally car but I like the results.
Right: The GT by Citroen could be considered one of the forerunners to the Vision GT project.

Left: French sport compacts (And a 4C) at Suzuka East.
Middle: Dodge invents flying car
Right: Bought a 911 GT3 RS because of course I wanted one. I miss the wilder color schemes the 997 GT3 RS offered but I do like Lava Orange. Who knows, maybe the 991.2 GT3 RS will bring back the wild colors.

Left: double quattro
Middle: The GT3 RS in a more appropriate setting. As you can see I scratched it up a bit. It's not that hard of a car to drive but it'll oversteer just as easily as the back end will grip. You can definitely feel the rear engine layout.
Right: I really like this car. For something so powerful it's really easy to drive. The settings (Which you can't change except tires, traction control and brake balance) say the car could theoretically go over 400 mph and there's definitely enough tachometer space for it but without hacks it's not gonna happen. I've only taken it up to around 250 and if they add Route X later I don't think it'll be able to make it too far past 260. Still, it's a great car to drive.
​

 

[Epic B]

It's been ages (Well, just over a week), so here's a massive dump of new pics.

Left: Didn't VW stop making the 2 door?
Middle: Initial... Dirt?
Right: This car seems really fast for an N200 from the one time I drove it.

Left: Battle of the seven figure cars (Except I won this Veyron)
Middle: It almost makes sense as a Group B.
Right: Not Ken Block. Is it just me or is the Focus one of the harder Group Bs to control?

Left: Because 77 is greater than 458.
Middle: I just had to get a picture of the 650S with the airbrake deployed. Mine is the Storm Gray one on the left.
Right: Remember that brown 458? This is the same car. During the beta I had put it in a similar livery with white GT logos and a color resembling Rosso Corsa. I think white GT logos look better on red than black. The paint is red flakes and the wheels are Vegas yellow, a color that apparently comes from a real car. I just don't know which one.

Left: My scenario of choice for drift point grinding.
Middle: For some reason it took me quite a while to realize this car has a diesel engine.
Right: Bugging the GT-R

Left: The fake homologation specials just look cool. I do plan to collect them all.
Middle: Fishermans Ranch seems to be a spiritual successor to Grand Canyon.
Right: Everyone's favorite Group 4. Or at least one of the more dominant ones.

Left: Same car, decked out in a custom livery.
Right: Won an LM55 from a prize spin so I made a livery. The car looks really good in Rosso Alfa.​

 

[Epic B]

Entered the flying Tomahawk pic into the inaugural GT Sport Photo Mode competition.

 

[Epic B]

Guess who's back, back again?

Left: A beautiful homage.
Middle: Japanese sport compacts at Tokyo
Right: Spreading my wings

Left: This car would actually be good if you could increase the top speed and race it in one of the N classes. As is it's a poor apology for not having the i8.
Middle: Because one GT-R pic wasn't enough.
Right: Stealing the Mustang's position at the Horse Thief Mile

Left: The game gave me the Veneno for getting all silver on the driving school tests so at least I don't have to actually buy the most expensive car in the game.
Right: From the finish line of the Lago Maggiore 30 lap endurance mission. I won by maybe a few car lengths over the 458 after running out of fuel at the line, meaning I had to coast to the end.

The SLS pic will be my entry into the second week of the photo mode competition.​

 

[Epic B]

Epic's back, tell a friend.

Left: Gotta go flat
Middle: No ordinary Golf
Right: The Group B WRX in a more appropriate color.

Left: Group Bs at the Ring
Middle: Getting sideways with the NSX
Right: The L750R is ridiculous and I love it.

Left: Of course I had to pick a Mustang for the Horse Thief Mile.
Middle: The LM55 at Kyoto
Right: More 911 Nurburgring action

Left: Group 3s at the Nurburgring
Right: A custom livery for the Beetle. WR Blue looks good on any car.

The first Beetle pic will be my Week 3 Photomode competition entry.​

 

[Epic B]

New pic time again!

Left: The 458 GT3 in Rosso Corsa, a much louder color than the shade of red the car comes in.
Middle: None of the drivers are named Mario
Right: Getting sideways in the NSX rally car

Left: And also on dirt
Middle: I decided to enter the WRS time trials. Week 1 involves the RC F Group 4 at Dragon Trail. I think they're all Larini.
Right: The newest car on offer at the Mileage Exchange. Still holding out for the RCZ or Atenza. Maybe in the next round.
​

I wanted to put some real effort into a custom livery for Week 4 of the GT Sport Photomode challenges so I made a Gulf livery for the Beetle. I used a 917 for reference. The stripe might be a bit too dark but I think it still looks good against the bright fluorescent paint. The second Suzuka pic will be my entry.

 

[Epic B]

Actually, I've changed my mind and this will be my entry:

I'm keeping the fluorescent blue and orange that don't quite match the real Gulf Blue and Gulf Orange but I learned the HSV values for the real Gulf Orange to put them on the striping. Next I plan to make a Gulf livery for the Porsche 919 which will likely use the real Gulf colors instead of fluorescent colors that somewhat resemble them. I do think the fluorescent colors work fine, but I would also like authenticity. Maybe I'll change the colors on this Beetle at some point too.​

 

[Epic B]

Don't have very many this time around.

Left: My Week 5 Photomode entry.
Middle: You haven't truly lived until you've taken 130R flat out at 180 mph in a front wheel drive LMP.
Right: The second week of WRS. I already made the joke so I'm not going to.

Because I don't know. This livery has since been replaced with rainbow flags covering the entire car except for the inside of the wing which the livery editor can't seem to get to. I could just get lost in the livery editor for hours. I still have a few other custom liveries I need to show off including the full rainbow GT-R LM, an update for the Gulf Beetle and something for the R.S. 01 GT3.​

 

[Epic B]

I'm back.

Left: I have now painted it in Soul Red but I don't have any pictures of the repainted car yet.
Middle: WRS Week 3
Right: Minis at Yamagiwa

Left: Something about drifting
Middle: Got carried away with stripes. Might make a color inverted variant now that I have a Giallo Modena paint chip.
Right: Undertaking.

Left: I now have every Tomahawk variant except the GTS-R.
Middle: I don't even know why I decided to do this.
Right: Probably not as fit for throwing as an actual tomahawk.

Left: Supercars at the Expressway
Middle: Attack of the clones
Right: Not sure where GT League got the livery for this 86...

Left: Or this DS3...
Middle: And other AI liveries
Right: Showing them who's Bus

Left: I can't remember
Middle: WRS Week 4: I can't Brands Hatch
Right: Got nothing here. Just VIZIVs.

Left: I just had to. Shoutout to PSN user garyjoe for making this livery.
Middle: 2X 2X
Right: Because I had to use one of the festive Scapes.

Left: Only now have I discovered the dealership Scapes.
Right: My Week 6 Photomode entry. Week 6's theme is custom liveries. This is a livery I've been wanting to do for quite some time but I had to wait until I learned how to use the livery editor to its full potential. I'm sure many of you will recognize this one. Now that I've learned how to use the livery editor I've really come to appreciate how good it is. Though I have no frame of reference for how it compares to Forza or any other games with livery editors.​

 

[Epic B]

My first pics of the year!

Left: Getting sideways with the M4
Middle: Not pictured: A Samba Bus slowly trundling along at the back of the pack
Right: My good longtime companion, would participation in a spirited day of gentlemanly auto racing in a controlled environment be of interest to you this fine morning?

Left: This was just too priceless not to capture.
Middle: A closer look at the RCZ. Probably my favorite of the homologation specials.
Right: What's somewhat amusing about the Vulcan in this game is that the official car list lists the car as Group X (Which would actually make sense for a track toy such as this) but it's an N800 in game. Not that I'm complaining.

Left: The Veneno in action
Middle: This was the fifth week of WRS. I'm probably not going to bother with WRS anymore.
Right: The GT-R in action at the 60 minute Nurburgring endurance. I hope they add more races to this apparent Group 1 endurance series. Mostly because I enjoy driving the GT-R LM.

Left: Group 3 VWs
Middle: The natural habitat for this car, I guess?
Right: Never noticed how similar these cars look.

Left: The "TT LM Edition" at the Alsace endurance mission
Middle: A typical Turn 1 at Nurburgring GP. Though this hairpin is pretty tight.
Right: This was my first workout of the year.

Left: The rainbow GT-R, now with more rainbows
Middle: Aurora Flare Blue Pearl looks great on my R.S. 01 GT3 but Bay Side Blue has much more flair.
Right: The Group 4 Veyron operates on the same logic as the Group 3 Beetle, only in reverse.

Left: Group 3s at night, with my Jägermeister 911 RSR.
Middle: The last of the homologation specials to be released. Naturally, I painted mine in Rosso Alfa.
Right: The Jägermeister Porsche in action at Alsace. I won this daily (Which was a ten lap race) by over ten seconds.

Left: After creating the initial livery I repositioned the Jägermeister decals on the hood and doors so that they are not obscured by any of the number plates, and went with a custom color that tries to look more like the orange on the real Jägermeister Porsches.
Middle/right: One of these (preferably the first one) will hopefully be my Week 7 Photomode entry. That still needs to be sorted out.

Left: There was an achievement for doing a Scape of a BMW GT3 car at the Nurburgring. And the game gave me this M6 at some point.
Right: There was also a similar achievement for the Audi LMPs at Sarthe. And I happened to have both.​

 

[Epic B]

And it looks like the first Samba Bus pic is eligible for the Photomode competition.

 

[Epic B]

Got a few more.

Left: I'm whatever towards the Group 1 Alpine but it looks cool.
Right: The updated Gulf Beetle.

The right one will be my Week 8 Photomode entry.​

 

[Epic B]

Left: At least they knew exactly what they were doing with this race.
Middle: I made a thing for the Scirocco.
Right: An odd coincidence how the only two real Group 4s are both VW Group products.

Left: I also made a thing for the Group 4 WRX. With WR Blue naturally.
Middle: Japanese cars at Suzuka. My car is the R32.
Right: That 458 doesn't look so Speciale to me.

Left: I just had to have one.
Middle: A X-Bow with 540 horsepower maybe isn't such a good idea.
Right: Rolling in the super Nova

Left: All that's missing is the LM Spec II. The LM Spec II would be good for Group 3. Oh well, at least I can download the livery.
Right: My Week 9 Photomode entry.​

 

[Epic B]

Left: I'm not good at this car. But it sounds pretty cool.
Middle: Now that Group 1 has become a mainstay in the dailies the LM55 is my main.
Right: Congratulations random FT-1 driver, you got on my gallery.

Left: The Group 1 Tomahawk looks like an old GT1 car.
Middle: "FAP"
Right: I made a livery for the LM55. It's a replica of the RX-792P.

Left: Those two cars probably have the same engine
Middle: Only when putting this image here did I realize something... off with those wing side decals. Maybe I can fix that in the livery editor.
Right: I was bored and had a million to burn.

Left: I don't even know why they let you rally this car.
Middle: My entry for the Week 10 Photomode competition. I could have use someone else's Red Bull livery but I decided to make my own.
Right: Best hairpin ever​

 

[Epic B]

It's time again.

Left: It's a blue Corvette. That's all I've got.
Middle: The 919 rocking what little livery the LMP2000 had.
Right: The game gave me a free one so I decided to.

Left: 6 chasing 6
Middle: Not sure why the VGT race in GT League let you use this car. It's way too fast.
Right: VGTs at Alsace. You may spot my black BMW VGT.

Left: The most surprising addition to 1.13.
Middle: F1500s at Suzuka.
Right: The new Alpine was one of the cars I knew would be in 1.13.

Left: Got nothing here. But look at that product placement.
Middle: I at least had to try and drift this thing.
Right: More drifting

Left: Photomode Week 11: Don't focus on a car but still show one. So I found this scooter in the Nurburgring GP paddock. Behind it you can see my 911.
Middle: The Pantera drives amazingly well.
Right: GT vs. GT​

 

[Epic B]

Got just one for you today, my week 12 Photomode competition entry.

The theme is old cars. The Pantera pic above would be fair game but I decided to do this instead.​

 

[Epic B]

New photo mode competition and new update means image time.

Left: Red Bull for babies
Middle: A work in progress. Don't know when I'll get around to finishing it.
Right: GT500s!

Left: Blue roadsters at Blue Moon
Middle: Tokyo at night
Right: Skylines

Left: I fixed the livery
Middle: Bay Side Blue Moon
Right: More Skylines

Left: Gulf Miata?
Middle: I'm still not making the joke again.
Right: Too much glare.

Left: Same as above but with the Bleach Bypass filter.
Middle: Classic GT40!
Right: Headlights go up?

Left: I've seen at least half a dozen of these in real life.
Middle: GT500 GT-Rs
Right: Experimenting with narrow aperture

Left: Seemed appropriate
Middle/Right: Week 13 for the competitions is all about narrow aperture. The right one will be my entry.

And also I got the RC F​

 

[Epic B]

Actually, I'm going to make a different Photomode entry.

​

 

[Epic B]

Got a few more.

Left: Drifting the Mach Forty
Middle: Strangely, the Group 1 Audi VGT is eligible for the VGT race in GT League but the e-tron is not.
Right: There's no way I can beat the Nurburgring time this car set in real life.

Left: WRX at Interlagos
Middle: Photomode competition 14 entry. Behind the Mustang you can see an M4.
Right: This car is very fast.​

 

[Epic B]

Got some new stuff.

Left: I still don't know who thought putting a Beetle in Group 3 was a reasonable idea.
Middle: Or a Mustang in Group B. The Evo makes sense and so does the Focus too, but the Mustang not so much.
Right: A VGT garden

Left: A110s. I wish the Mileage Exchange would give us a Bleu Alpine paint chip.
Middle: DS3s Racing
Right: I like the corner. That's all I've got.

Left: The McLaren VGT at the Ring
Middle: The cockpit of this car just looks so cool.
Right: Laser car

Left: GT-Rs at Big Willow
Middle: I just had to get a pic of the new Supra.
Right: My entry for the 15th Photomode competition. The theme is speed. Just speed.

The Enzo drives fine but the brakes are terrible.​

 

[Epic B]

Left: Shaken, not stirred. I got the DB11 in Hammerhead Silver because I've seen one in that color in real life. Anyone wanna bet that James Bond will get behind the wheel of one of these soon?
Middle: GT-Rs at Monza. Mine is the "Stealth Model" at the front.
Drifting an expensive car

Left: Track day Bond!
Middle: I wish the Samba Bus could accept more power.
Right: Gives you wings

My entry for the 16th competition. It's about static images. So here's a bunch of Alpines.​

 

[Epic B]

Here we go again.

Left: 86s at Blue Moon
Middle: RC F at the Gardens
Right: Group 4s at Miyabi. The red 4C is mine.

Left: The 17th competition theme is Vision GTs in mundane situations. So here's an LM55 sitting around in New York.
Right: A garden of Group 4s. I love flying off that curb.​

 

[Epic B]

Since the June update dropped I've got a HUGE load of pics this time around. Brace yourselves.

Left: Super S-FR
Middle: Not quite the Group 3 Road Car but still plenty capable.
Right: Old vs new Ferrari race car, with the color inverted version of that 458 livery I made.

Left: Le Mans baby! And those sweet Group Cs.
Middle: Without BoP to nerf this car to sensible levels the Megane Trophy is way too fast for Group 4. BoP or not it's still a great car to drive.
Right: At best you can only soup up this tiny thing to 49 horsepower. To be useful for any legitimate racing it would need at least double, but I doubt it would even be able to handle that kind of power anyway.

Left: Great handling but can be rather slippery.
Middle: More Group C action
Right: And the third of the Group Cs. Imagine if Le Mans was like this in real life: Classic prototypes running alongside modern ones and also stuff like Vision GTs. With hypercars slated to become the top class at Le Mans maybe we'll see something like the Audi VGT in real life.

Left: Group heading 4 Spoon
Middle: "Brands Hatch"
Right: F1500s at Monza

Left: F1500s at Nürburgring GP
Middle: Two Meganes in front
Right: A Panorama of hatchbacks

Left: Hatches in Tokyo
Middle: The Soul Red Atenza Group 3 Road Car. It's interesting how this and the Evo and WRX Group B road cars maintain the profiles of sedans even though they don't seem to have rear doors.
Right: Old and new Mustang. Meanwhile, the Mustang doesn't have this given that it didn't have rear doors in the first place. Unless Ford decides to make a Mustang sedan. They could call it the Falcon.

Left: It's a red 458. That's about it.
Middle: The Diablo is surprisingly easy to drive. As for the Miura, I'm not going to save up 15 million to buy it.
Right: A garden of bulls

Left: An original livery concept for the F1500: A Jägermeister McLaren-Honda. The 27 plate is because Senna's MP4/5-B had it.
Middle: The Huracan at Big Willow
Right: And also the Veneno

Left: R18 at Le Mans
Middle: My birthday was on June 14. This was my birthday car. I wanted either this, the XJ13 or the Miura for my birthday. I got the P4. This is fine.
Right: The 18th photo competition is about anime liveries and I barely even anime. So I went the lazy route and just found an Initial D livery and called it a day. I wanted to find a Sailor Moon livery (because reasons) but couldn't.

Left: Group C group shot
Right: I got a duplicate 458 GT3 at some point so I decided to paint them in opposite liveries.​
