Love an update that you can get through quicker than the time it takes to download it. Another corker from PD.

Good point. I’m happy with the Chevelle, but I bought 5. Tunes them, drove them, and now they’re just another car in the mix. No tracks makes for a weak update as far as lasting power goes.

After trying them all
- Chevelle is nice, no complaints there. Solid price, looks good, cool interior etc.
- Afeela.... I expected more for a car made by Sony in GT7. It's just kind of non-funcfional and boring? It at least drives better than a Tesla so 🤷
- Skoda VGT, I hate the UI with this one that can't be disabled no matter the settings. It's just a much worse version of the MFD but right in the middle of the screen. Is it better in VR maybe? If not, it's the worst VGT car that has an interior imo. Oh well.
Edit: and no pics of La Jolla in the San Diego scapes made me sad. 🦭

I have managed to not be a moaner (despite the best efforts of PD along the way), but that Skoda has just triggered me. I admit to never buying into the Vision / Concept cars at all to begin with. I just cannot work out why I should be excited about "driving" something that is not measurably real. You can take a Ferrari 488 out on track and recreate the power / weight / rotation etc in the game, and PD does this to great effect. But the VGT cars are just made up and look like they have been designed by my 12 year old boy.
But this Skoda, with its EV acceleration combined with the worst brakes in the game, is just so unappealing to drive. All that design effort from PD, all that programming and rendering, for what? If only they put that effort into releasing some of the newer GT3 cars, a 488 GT3 for instance instead of a 2013 edition 458, or the Le Mans winning Ferrari. Make it make sense!

Using a VGT of any kind will get you kicked from these rooms.

It happens on the "paddock" lobbies too; was on the 'Ring with a '20 Corvette C8 tune to 800PP, and going over 200mph on the last straight I passed with a loooot of room to spare a slower car who then wrote on the chat "Those tomahawk drivers are toxic!" And there was no Tomahawk on that lobby so, yeah...

To me, growing the game is giving an update that breathes new life into the game. Tracks do that in my opinion. I remember when Watkins dropped and Road Atlanta, my time invested in the game racing went up. If they want to grow the game, they’d make tune sharing quick and easy as well. But I stand by my opinion that a track adds longevity to an update as it takes a bit to learn and perfect the track, the more tracks you have the less you wear other tracks out. Although Lake Louise was a bit of a disappointment for me, but that’s more of a rally track that a race circuit.

I cannot relate. No doubt that bigger updates leave more to explore initially, but the novelty of anything will expire eventually. So novelty doesn’t really matter. It’s only a temporary high like some sort of drug. The cars and tracks that were added to the game back in 2022 are no less fun now than they were back then.
Earlier you mentioned that the Chevelle was interesting for a bit, but now it’s just another car in the mix. That’s because you were infatuated with it being fresh content to explore more than really appreciating it for what it is. The same goes for circuits.

It’s kind of like travelling to see the same waterfall everyday but in a different car versus travelling to see different water falls everyday but in the same car. Which would you rather do? Keep in mind you can take your favourite car to see the different waterfalls.
I like experiencing new tracks. Road Atlanta still seems fairly fresh to me. Watkins is getting a little worn out but if I leave it a bit it’ll come back, hadn’t raced Sardegna for months, did a race on it last night, felt like a new track. Yes I could avoid the chevelle or whatever car for months on end but to me it’s not the same as avoiding a track then coming back to it. The experience driving different cars feels more closely related then driving different tracks.

I have been intrigued by concept cars and a lot of futuristic tech from a very young age. This allowed me to be far more open-minded and excited about the VGT project. When hearing the manufacturers tell the story of their VGT creations, you learn that many of them take the project quite seriously and treat it similarly to how they design their production and track vehicles. It allows them time and resources to flesh out an idea with more creative freedom and less risk of financial and mechanical failure. What you only see as "something designed by my 12-year-old boy" is something a professional designer sees as their ultimate childhood dream. It creates complex problems to be solved and ideas born in the project that eventually are greenlit to begin production and testing. Some of those ideas have moved far beyond VGT to become very real and very measurable.
Knowing how some of the world's best car manufacturers treat the VGT project, any post moaning about the project reads like the rant of a grumpy Old man fighting against Father time. As soon as I picture the grumpy Old man yelling "Get off my lawn," I think of the times I spent on YouTube looking at the view counts on NBA Youngboy's videos and trying to make it make sense. I realized that I too can be a grumpy Old Man because NBA Youngboy will never make sense to me. So even though I don't relate to your viewpoint personally, I understand it from a higher level.

Guilty as charged!
On a serious note, I do appreciate your point and see some merit.
My main issue is on the whole, I have found them incredibly unappealing to drive in the game!
I would much rather the considerable talent at PDs disposal was put to work on cars that would really benefit the game (particularly the online daily races) so up to date Gr3's, or how about the Le Mans winning Ferrari... these cars are cutting edge, where the manufacturers are pushing the boundaries, just like the VGT's, but are real. I am going to be watching the Spa WEC race next weekend and there will be the new Aston's, 458 and 992 Porsches duking it out, with some amazing Hypercars up front. To me it just seems to be more relevant.

I wish they'd do another long scenic track like Circuit de la Sierra. That is a track I'm never tired of driving, and it makes for a good testing ground for just about any car that was in GT6.
Heck they could just update the trees and textures to GT7 standards and bring it back with minimal effort, though I suppose that could be said for many of the GT6 tracks. Why they haven't diverted some resources to doing just that (updating old tracks) is beyond me. I'd imagine more people would be happier to have a 'new' track every 3 months even if it was a graphically updated old track.

Would be interesting to know which cars not added to the game yet were scanned.

Interesting. Leaves me wondering which Camaro as from what I can tell, I don't see a Sunoco Camaro anywhere in Jay's collection.

I’d like to know more about the Sunoco Camaro and scanning and setting it up that way? I think that’s just a story. Haha
