That estate Volvo is going to be great fun, can't wait for me and my friends to duke it out on the Nordschleife and crash every fifth corner lul

I think I was close.
European Sunday Cup 400
Kyoto Driving Park - Yamagiwa
Japanese FF Challenge 450
Autopolis International Racing Course - Short Course
Japanese FR Challenge 450
Autodrome Lago Maggiore - West
World Touring Car 800
Circuit de Sainte-Croix - A
I thought we'd get 5 events. Also why introduce a new classic JGTC car and not put the WTC 800 race in Kyoto Driving Park?

I’m very much looking forward to the cars in this update. About time Volvo returned to GT!

Only interested in the NSX personally, but very happy for all the Volvo fans out there.
Why are we getting 5 cars btw? For no particular reason?
Maybe a sign we're skipping June?
Anyway. It's a holiday where I live tomorrow, so for the first time in a long while I'll be able to play the update as it drops.
Yay.

One of these months I'm not going to be bitterly disappointed with these updates...but it's not this month.
What is the point of all these cars if you're not going to give us a reason to use them. Four events simply isn't good enough. Especially as you won't incentivise players to use them.
Take the new 800pp event around St Croix, it'll be the same event type as we usually get where a Group C car will be much faster, have better fuel and tyre mileage, so there's no point in using the new car...aside from buying it in the first place to complete the Extra Menu Book - which I'm sure everybody loves more than racing the cars in the game...
It's so frustrating to see this month in, month out.
It can only speak to that fact that they are not interested one iota about feedback or any type of critique. PD are just going to do PD things and we have to accept it, because we're fans of the game (or at least what the game used to be)
Rant over, I'll see you next update for the same copy/paste rant, because I want to love this game - they just keep making it so hard to do...

Can't wait to see the headlight wipers on the estate function in the rain. Love the little quirks and high details!
I am hoping someone can take a video (and/or timelapse) of VR and looking out of the sunroof. Would be a wild experience in VR to see weather and time change through that.

Welp, the menu book is one I'll be able to do easily. I bought multiple GT500 Supras and Skylines ages ago.
This is nice though.

It's a bit annoying to see things like this, PD directly acknowledging that they now have a great set of classic JGTC cars:
...and giving us an extra menu rather than any actual events or championship content for them.
But I've personally accepted that we likely won't have any interesting event content any time soon, and that we should simply make our own fun with the custom event tool - just being happy for the great cars we get and not thinking too much about the rest.

Which @Fezzik accounted for. The one post-launch Japanese FR Challenge race does pay 23,000 Cr. for the win, and while the first 3 post-1.13 WTC 800 races each pay 200,000 Cr. for the win, the last 3 each pay out only 160,000 Cr. for the win (lower than 3 of the 7 launch-day races). The European Sunday Cup 400 and Japanese FF Challenge events haven't had any post-launch races added.

So I'm unsure if I mentioned this previously, but I had this neat approach to trying various cars in events while tuning them as little as possible. Y'see, more recently, when buying a car, I'll just get a ballast, power limiter, and similar sets of tires, and not even a full-customize computer. No widebody in GT Auto, either - if anything, a removal of the front license plate. This not only saves credits otherwise used for tuning, but also lets you drive a car closer to its stock condition, even if it means potentially changing the power/weight to comply with various regulations.
Let's take the Race of Turbo Sports Cars for example. The regulations state that your car can have no more than 700 PP, plus it needs to be turbocharged. You could get the Bugatti Chiron and slightly adjust its power/weight, since it's got 705 PP as-stock on Sports Hards, or for about a tenth of the price, you could get a Ferrari F8 Tributo, which comes on Sports Mediums and thus has 693 PP. What I'd do is get the F8, then buy some Sport Softs, which upon installing should get it above 700 PP. Then I'll likely tinker with the ballast and power limiter until it's even closer to 700 PP.
At any rate, I encourage you to list a regulation that's somewhere within either World Circuits or the Missions, and then I'll see what I can recommend. Even if the PP for an event is only a suggestion, I still think it's fun to try getting the settings just below it.

There's a certain type of person who thinks everyone who disagrees with them is a fascist.
I haven't been called racist since the guy who posted 26 car predictions didn't like me pointing that out. Cos that's suuuuper racist.

Just because you can do an event in a car that makes it easy, doesn’t mean you have to.
You wouldn’t take a fully upgraded hyper car to the Sunday Cup, would you?
