I wonder if the car given is based on your driver level.
Are you living in the future?

A week? That's 27 February on my calendar.
I hear you, bro. I was fighting the bots for months and feeling like it was mission impossible until I got the invite from Sony to one of their periodic sale events. [Feeling blessed].

So, with the addition of Daytona, and return of HSR, BMB and Northern Isle, it'll be really weird to not have a 'stock car' to race there.
I understand if they don't have the NASCAR licence, but after making their own F1500T-A (that totally isn't a Lotus 97T
) I don't see why we can't have, say, an S5870 or whatever, or multiple eras of fantasy stock car (and formula for that matter).
Come to think of it, I don't think any game with Daytona has ever not had stock cars.

Polyphony Digital featured the Indianapolis 500 in the A-Spec and B-Spec campaign on the GT5 (on the oval layout even), yet an Indycar has yet to ever be in a GT game lmao. Maybe they have changed, but I doubt having more ovals will increase the chances of actual oval cars coming to the game.So, with the addition of Daytona, and return of HSR, BMB and Northern Isle, it'll be really weird to not have a 'stock car' to race there.

Also to keep in-mind: We have Go-Karts, yet no Go-Kart tracks. Maybe Kart Space will return one day? 🤔

PD versions of the current NASCAR Cup cars derived from Toyota Crown, Nissan Skyline, and Honda Accord would be brilliant though.So, with the addition of Daytona, and return of HSR, BMB and Northern Isle, it'll be really weird to not have a 'stock car' to race there.

I don't have one either, can't really afford it. But, I mean, we can still play it. Honestly I doubt I'll notice much difference between the two. And it's only $10 CAD to make it a PS5 version

The random prize spin isn't a problem in itself other than the fact it only occurs once a day in GT Sport versus being a prize for the GT League events. Polyphony hasn't offered any prize cars in that mode versus past GT games. GT7 could utilize the spinning wheel like in GT3 and it would be fine. Just allow us to win the prize cars over and over again. Oh and to sell them versus being a garage delete.

I know that, but one can always hope.
That is why it reads: If possible...
Its a minor thing in the whole game but it would add more realism to the safety cars and give more options to the players who enjoy using them.
Also, this is what, the fourth game with safety cars available to players and so far the only place we have had any kind of control over the lights, is in the Scapes of GTS.
But in the end, its the reviewer who decides what he spents his time on.
All I can do is ask and hope for that tiny bit of information.

Don't be hostile though? I also would like to hear explanations of why championship reward is less problematic than daily spins for being randomized. And I can feel that some people can misblame the spinning part or such when the real problem is cars being unable to be sold.

Heres to hoping they at least have an option to remove all ghosting and all track resets online. I dont ever remember GT5 or GT6 being as bad when it came to that. There are other game modes many people enjoy that are no longer playable or as fun simply because of the ghosting and resetting. And if you find yourself in a hardcore league race or event, why not make it as real as possible? Driving through other cars or being picked up and teleported to a different location as if you slipped off the edge of Rainbow Road is not realistic! Fingers crossed

Polyphony has their own servers as well. I don’t even own the PlayStation online multiplayer subscription (so my game saves are not stored in the Playstation cloud) but I recently factory reset my PS4 Pro and I got prompted when I (first) launched GT Sport to download my save game file or if I wanted to start a new one.
I’m pretty sure it will be the same again for GT7 and that in the future you can pick up GT7 with a PS5 where you left off with your PS4. I will be in the same boat as well. Not that I want a PS5 now, that thing is way too ugly and bulky, I’ll wait for a Slim/Pro version in a few years.
I went with the digital 25th Anniversary edition of GT7 though (same for Horizon Forbidden West) as I wouldn’t mind if my future PS5 will be diskless. And I don’t care about steelbook cases anyway.

I believe somewhere in the GT7 sub-forum, I’ve expressed concerns that there could be too much overlap between which venues are featured in the respective events for the Mercedes-Benz W08, the Red Bull X2014 Jr./X2014 Standard/X2019 Competition, and the F1500T-A.
Well, I suppose I had also forgotten to address something similar - the overlap between the potential events for the Super Formula racers and the Super GT cars within Gr.2. I would certainly hope Twin Ring Motegi does return, either at launch or as DLC, as with it, most of the Super Formula/Super GT courses would be available, between Fuji, Suzuka, and Autopolis also being present.
So I don’t really know how I’d potentially differentiate the two. Maybe for the Super GT championship, if DTM racers are added, it could become a broader DTM/Super GT500 championship, including some DTM venues like Brands Hatch, Spa-Francorchamps, Nurburgring GP, Monza, and the Red Bull Ring. (Especially since it seems like the real-world Super GT500/DTM combination only lasted for one non-championship race.)
But then, I think, you start overlapping with the potential venue list for the formula-styled cars I mentioned earlier. And there’s also still the possibility that GT300 cars could return, too. So I don’t doubt that in addition to these venues, we’ll see some fictional circuits mixed in for these events as well, though I highly doubt we’ll see High Speed Ring, BB Raceway, and/or Tsukuba at that high of a level. However, I definitely could see Tokyo Expressway East/South and Kyoto Driving Park Yamagiwa/Yamagiwa + Miyabi being in these events.
I suppose I just hope the campaign doesn’t simply have a single event for each major racing group (Gr.4/Gr.3/Gr.2/Gr.1/Gr.B) and call it a day. For example, for Gr.1 events, I’d really like an event where we’re limited to the Group C cars within Gr.1, or the modern LMPs. Perhaps limiting players to the VGT cars within Gr.1 could be how the “VGT Trophy +” event could return, with the regular “VGT Trophy” being reserved for the Gr.3-spec VGTs, like those from Volkswagen, Toyota, and Peugeot. Perhaps the Citroen GT by Citroen Gr.3 and the Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Concept could be eligible for this event as well, despite not being formal VGTs.

Yeah. But on the other hand, I do like the idea of saving credits for spare cars. I think a good compromise would be that there could be limits on just how truly “random” the prize cars could be. So maybe it could only be a very tiny pool when you first begin, expanding as you progress, eventually awarding a much broader group of cars by the endgame. Maybe not even every possible car in the game, necessarily, but still a very large pool when you’ve reached the maximum collector’s level.
Or, maybe it could depend on what collections you’re currently working on. But on the other hand, that could make completing certain collection a bit too easy. Yeah, I think I’d rather complete the GT Cafe collections by either winning cars through events, or buying them in one of the now-three dealerships.
Still, with all the customization options we’ll be getting, I’m much more OK with potentially winning duplicates. And that’s assuming we won’t be able to sell them for some extra credits this time around. Heck, I might even keep several of the same exact model around, depending on how the potential engine swaps work.
EDIT: And as for penalties, I think I’d prefer that they remove the requirement to slow down, whether it’s done manually anywhere on the course or automatically with a penalty zone. Instead, I’d simply account for them at the end of the race. Isn’t that what F1 does? Indeed, I’ve gained positions in GTS multiple times upon finishing simply because one (or in rare cases, two) guy in front of me still had penalties to serve, and I was close enough behind him to gain a position. They could even display your total penalties somewhere on the UI, so you’d have to potentially try to make up for lost time - literally.
EDIT2: Like, on the timing chart, your current time plus the penalties could be in red text, indicating you have penalties that’ve been accounted for. It could also change your position insofar that if the race ended in an instant, you’d know where you stand; even if you’re physically ahead of an opponent, it’d show if you’d end up finishing in a position lower than them as a result of the penalties. I think the penalty zone is an admirable idea on the part of PD, but I’d much prefer that the racers keep going, rather than slow down, even if it’s in a “safe” area.

I do like this idea alot. partly because of "realism". I am one of the guys that think VGT cars are a menace on this world. But i do understand that they are allowed to be in there, but it just kind of destroys my immersion when racing LMP1 cars in gt sport.
And i think if they did the approach of real racing where the events were that you would race against the cars of the time in that specific sport. however despite that stuff like mixing gt500 and DTM im also all for.
I really hope they do a good job with the campaign and show all the different motorsports in gran turismo like nascar to DTM to Lemans to BTCC and so forth

Given the F1500T-A was based on 97T, any generic stock car PD add would be likely based on the 2011-spec COT cars since these were notorious for being generic body-wise. Alternatively they could add the 2013 cars on car-by-car basis for the 2013-spec like some titles do; they would need to be in launch livery.So, with the addition of Daytona, and return of HSR, BMB and Northern Isle, it'll be really weird to not have a 'stock car' to race there.

GT5P? Though that was only because there's literally two race cars in the whole game (3 if Blitz D1GP car is considered).

I disagree, somewhat. I feel like made-for-game cars have almost always been a part of GT since at least GT4 with the Nike One. Plus, they allow the engineers to do almost whatever they like. I'd still have an all-inclusive Gr.1 event, perhaps as a way for the "Gran Turismo All-Stars" event to return, but I'd really like more events per group, if only so that there's a wider variety of regulations. And hopefully, we'll see a variety of regulations online, a well, rather than being permitted to pick anything we like within the groups. What I'm saying here, is that I hope that in GT7's Sport Mode, we see more sets of interesting regulations insofar that almost any car will have a chance to shine. I think some GTS events did this, like the Daily Races that only permitted the Group C cars within Gr.1, but I'd make regulations like that the majority, with all-inclusive group events being very rare.
I think we can be a bit loose with it, especially for GT. For example, in the proposed GT500/DTM event I had in mind, I'd welcome any Super GT500 car that's in Gr.2, not only including both the 2008 and 2016 trios, but also the 2022 cars if they end up coming to GT7. I don't think we need to be so specific that I'd have one event for the 2008 cars, a separate one for the 2016 cars, and so on. That said, I would consider having Daily Races (and/or championship races) that are this narrow in regulation, but as far as the campaign is concerned, I don't think it's necessary to be that specific.
I don't think NASCAR is coming, nor do I think BTCC is, but if NASCAR does return, I'd like PD to do what they did with the Super GT500 cars, and only include one from each automaker, perhaps for a total of nine cars between the 2010, 2011, and 2013 seasons represented in the PS3 era. At the absolute minimum, I'd include the 2010 Jeff Gordon car, if only because it was the car that was featured in the GT5 NASCAR driving school. But to be frank, I'd much prefer we see the return of Indianapolis and its road course before any NASCAR content. I'd also love to see DTM, especially so that the Super GT500 cars in Gr.2 get some friends, but I just hope licensing isn't an issue, especially now that DTM is basically another GT3-spec series.
As for the post by @SnakeOfBacon, I think that a NASCAR event would really benefit from Indy being there, but I feel like NASCAR is far too connected to ovals, which I don't think we'd have enough of for a full NASCAR event in GT7, even with BB Raceway, which is classified as an oval in GTS. Heck, even if we got the Twin Ring Motegi Speedway back, I still don't think it'd be enough. Yeah, I know that NASCAR has raced on non-ovals, like Watkins Glen and Suzuka East, but I'm afraid to say that I think NASCAR has become relatively niche compared to other American-based motorsports series, like Indycar and the IMSA series. There are a ton of racecars I'd much rather see - past, present, and planned - than the return of NASCAR machines. And that's before we get into the factor that more made-for-game race cars crafted by PD could come to Gr.4/Gr.3/Gr.B, or even Gr.2/Gr.1, including various VGT projects. (I could definitely see the Lamborghini VGT joining Gr.1, considering its general shape and its stated power.)
Speaking of VGTs, I'd really like to see a Ferrari VGT someday, especially now that we have ones from Lamborghini and Porsche. Then, if the Fittipaldi EF7 VGT is truly gone, then I'd love for Pininfarina to take another swing at a VGT, especially since they are now their own brand with the upcoming Battista. (Which is another car I'd really like to see in GT7, along with the Ferrari Sergio.)
