AN AMBULANCE

The perfect vessel for carrying these:

This was something I had to learn to accept. I still believe these are massive issues with the game, but then, every game has massive issues these days. Not to say that excuses it, but it's an unfortunate reality. So if I'm stuck with heavily flawed games, fine, I'll try to enjoy what I have. And since then, I've learned to enjoy custom races (AI sucks? Fine, put faster cars in.) and giving everything a lap around the Nordschleife. I'm having a great time.

It's not perfect. It's not a racing sim. There's things that are outright broken and shouldn't be ignored, and I'm upset that they haven't been fixed. Balancing issues that are frustrating. But if I spend all my time thinking about that, I'm never going to have fun.

Yep, I hardly play this game except if a new update drops, wanting to take some race photos or if I feel like cruising Nordschleife to take my mind of things.

I have come to accept that It's a great driving game but a crappy racing game.

In Australia they are all sa22c from 78 to 85 ser 1 2 and 3, only ser 1 had drum rear end. And 13b was never released in Aus.
I've owned 12 of them over the years. With a decent diff, gbox and 13b turbo they are giant slayers.

Series 1 is the best series , series 3 ( FB here in the states) has the GSLSE trim which has a 13B LSD and slotted disks all around , but it's pretty much a inferior FC and we already have a FC in the game . So for sake of variety , give us the series 1 !

Also to the dunce who gave me a Poo. I have owned Both the FB and SA . The FB got downgraded with a smaller radiator, A catalytic converter , worst carb and the best part ! A " beehive" style oil cooler instead of a proper front mounted oil cooler . If you wanted the LSD and disks you had to pony up for a gsl model which still retained the inferior rad and oil cooler set up. If you wanted the big rad and big oil cooler you had to upgrade to a GSL SE which had a 13 B engine . The Best 12 A Rx-7 model is a 1980 , that's not even debatable . The LSD alone was not worth downgrading the cooling components and having a unadjustable and inferior carb or having to suffer with a restrictive cat converter . Plus swapping the rear end to a 78-80 is much easier than swapping all of the engine goodies to the FB Poop to you too.

Good thing it’s “The Real Driving Simulator” and not “The Real Racing Simulator” then isn’t it!

Agreed, the beehive was definatly a fail.
Hopefully PD give us ser1. It was in original gt game.

Soooo some kind of new Mazda car?

 

[KAlex122]

As 17th of September is kind of too soon for a normal September update, PD now maybe really starts mixing up update release completely.

 

[JoaoSilva]

PD, keep the quirky cars coming, i love it! Also happy with the Maserati MC20.

Good catch! Completely slipped my notice. Wonder what it will be.

Worth noting that this event will also include Toyota and Subaru vehicles, so there's no guarantee it will be a Mazda.

I'm going to need more than a truckload of that.

I hope it's re amemiya asparadrink mazda rx7 or the new toyota 86 gt500

 

[Lucius 5000]

Just a question, what about this windmill that is shown in the most GT trailer? Is there a circuit that has one of these?

 

[VinylRichie]

Mustang stocks are down pretty low too.

I love the Vette as much as the next person, but America's longest continuously made production car needs some more installments.

Ahm but isn’t the Corvette actually Americas longest continuously made production car?

 

[Famine]

It's Molen Leonide in Anna Paulowna in the Netherlands. You won't find it in the game, nor at any circuit - it's just a pretty windmill which, along with the pretty tulip field right beforehand - is something you'll find in the Netherlands, as the trailer is for the GT World Series Showdown in Amsterdam.

So all in all it's... wait for it...

yup Chevy is the longest running , sorry Mustang fans

 

[MIE1992]

What’s the holdup between PD and 1980s JDM sports cars? GT7 has a striking shortage of these compared to 1990s cars. These are missing and most were standard cars in GT6:

Mazda RX-7 (FB)
Mitsubishi Starion
Nissan 240RS
Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX (Z31)
Nissan Skyline 2000 Turbo GT-E S (C211)
Nissan Skyline HT 2000 Turbo RS (DR30)
Nissan Skyline HT 2000 RS-X Turbo C (DR30)
Nissan Skyline GTS-R (HR31)
Toyota Celica XX
Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST165)
Toyota MR2 SC (AW11)

I'd be fine with just one R30 Skyline, but otherwise, yeah, I'd totally be down for that list.

Will this do?

That'll suffice for now.

Sounds like it could just be referring to the GR Corolla since it won't actually be available to offline players until late September.

 

[05XR8]

Such a good way to promote Super Taikyu.

Most likely that. The GR Corolla has much more performance than the current in-game Mazda3 ‘19 . No doubt about the necessity it being One Make races.

One car (and maybe a few aero adjustments) aside, it is getting pretty darn close. Same with the top category.

I wonder what "new" means in this context. Brand new Mazda or new to GT7?

I'm hoping for the Mazda Furai.

Close, but 83 is the only year you won't find a corvette. You can Thank faulty dashboards for that.

 

[VinylRichie]

But it says „new vehicles“, plural (or its just a mis-translation).

I don’t count several iterations of the foxbodys as real mustangs, so I think we they are even😉

Could be worse. In an alternate reality, we get the probe. Imagine the Probe R.

Google translate. 🤷‍♀️

Even from context it wouldn't exactly make sense to host a one-make race with multiple different vehicles...
