Definitely feels like its about time for an update.

What makes you ask that? Not seeing anything indicating that its done.

There is not anymore the michelin banner on the new nation cup events. It was there until the finals 2024.

I think I might know why they asked. The lack of the Michelin logo here:


Also no BBS logo, though I'm not sure when that might've disappeared. I recall BBS being in some financial difficulties at a similar time as Fanatec, but not sure if that was resolved.

IIRC, the other games that had BMW's or Mercedes' DTM from that period scrub out any references to DTM. For instance, the BMW in Forza Motorsport 5, The Crew series, and Real Racing 3 uses a generic BMW Motorsport number plate (and refers to themselves as "M4 Racing":

The Crew series also uses a generic "Touring Car" moniker for Mercedes' counterparts, on top of also using plain/launch liveries.

This is the part of licensing that I hate.

Is there a way to report dirty players in Sport Mode now? One of the most popular GT content creators released a video today saying that a player that he previously had banned for racing dirty in daily races is back doing it again on another account. I haven't raced online except for the occasional free weekend since last February so I can't confirm or deny if dirty players can be reported now.

Geez, did I miss something? When did they fix the GR Yaris and the GR Corolla. They used to have horrible lift off oversteer that I just couldn’t drive them. Tonight I was doing some testing and thought I’d try them again. They are now fantastic to drive, couldn’t get them to oversteer even when I tried to. Thanks PD! 🥳

I think the lift-off AWD craziness was tamped down in the 1.49/1.50 updates.

The Corolla, EVOs, AMG 45 and a bunch of others were WILD on the brakes. Haven't tried driving them much recently though.

These two stood out as the worst to drive when we first got them. Now it’s like we got two great new cars to use. I put a bunch of miles on that Corolla yesterday/this morning.

Would this apply to Mission X too later?

BBS already left in 2024, hence live event cars now sporting their original wheels instead of BBS' centerlocks.

To be honest, wasn't really a fan of a single tire sponsor in the game. Or any parts for that matter. (Including Brembo) We really should have multiple options available to us.

 

[05XR8]

Yeah, funny we have Wilwood and Stoptech stickers. Indeed the more options the more immersion of personalisation.

 

[PSN offapple]

Wonder if we'll eventually get Pirelli back as a tyre sticker option. You can still get Pirelli tyre stickers currently by porting over a livery from GT Sport, but of course that only works for cars that were in Sport, and none of the new cars for GT7 e.g. Ford GT GTLM, Genesis X Gr.3 etc.

Oh and some cars have Pirelli's as their default, so for those you don't have to do the GT Sport step.

No.

And how would the content creator ban another player for something that is not a breach of the PSN code?

I just put Pirelli on my GT3 Ferrari for the TT and my 2 hour Roar before the 24…

Well, there are 2 companys operating under the same BBS logo: the German and the Japanese. The German one was the one with financial difficulties (since the politic unrest in Guinea) and they used to make cast and flow-formed wheels, KW Suspension CEO bought the company and tried to resuscitate it, but it seems they having problems again. I remember reading something about the rise of electricity in Europe after the Ukrainian-Russian war and how it affected BBS Germany. The Japanese one is completely independent from the German, they are the ones who make the forged wheels, they made statements reporting that the German BBS does not affect them and they only share the name and logo. To make thing even more confusing, BBS Japan has a factory in Germany where they make the F1 forged wheels.
In fact, the German BBS wheels are imported into Japan by the same company that import KW and Brembo, Hashimoto Corporation iirc.
Probably the Nations Cup was sponsored by the Japanese BBS.
