How is that supposed to be achieved when new players (= those who dont reciece news about updates on the console and currently very likely dont read anything about the game) dont see any update announcement anywhere besides the places that are fan-realted, they do not visit?

No, update is there to keep the game
1. secure
2. in balance
3. in performance
4. interesting

If you want to get new players joining the game, you need to make huge public noise about the game, and this doesnt need to be connected to a game update, but can be done differently, like "My first Gran Turismo".
No one’s announcing this update because no one cares about it. “My first Gran Turismo” was a demo ffs.
This is literally the only AAA racing game on PS, if they made an interesting update, Sony would push it to the hills.
Forza have been pushing their BMW and Cadillac WEC cars.
GT is pushing a Hyundai EV and a Toyota SUV.
What’s the public going to be more excited by?
 
Yes - that is my point. If you want more GT3, Le Mans prototypes, play a game that is desgined for them. If you want Formula 1 cars, play a formula one car. That's not being woke... that is my interpretation of GT7 and the franchise.
There are 24 single events, the WTC 800 Championship and several missions that are designed for Gr3/GT3 cars. The main Esports promotional event uses Gr3/GT3 cars. There is a Gr3/GT3 multiplayer race running almost every week. To say the game and franchise is now not (at least partially) designed to include them is wrong and out-of-date, things have rightfully evolved over the decades. The creators have talked about representing car culture - that includes race cars, rally, drift, drag, etc as well as road cars. It's understandable that people would like to occasionally see a modern (real) racer alongside all the classic machinery.
 
With the new physics I've now finally been able to beat Master IA8.

On the previous physics this challenge was nearly impossible due to how unpredictable and unstable the car was (randomly jumpy on the suspension). I didn't get to try it when the master licenses were first introduced, but from videos I've seen it was way easier back then.

Now with this update it is once again doable. It's still pretty hard (it's a master license, it should be) but it's now actually clear how I could improve and where I was losing time. I stuck at it for 45 mins and managed gold. I probably had close to 10 hours on it before this update and never got within 3 tenths. Interestingly this update made the gold time 0.6s faster, but it's still easier, that's how much more stable the car is. Now to finally get to the Master S licenses.

Please stop shooting your own foot.
You know what a demo is meant to do?
Demonstrate what the game does.
This usually is a free piece of the game.
This usually is done so people who are not familiar with a game can get a look of what they would buy.

= neither a nor b, because no one cares (except for those who already are playing).
 
I'd forgotten the Hyundai would be free. Handy.

Haven’t clicked the ticket. I remembered that will be just another car I can’t delete.:lol:
 
If anyone is on Ps5 Pro…
did they fix the short stuttering when you switch to the cockpit view? All RT and PSSR enabled.
Can you spot any visual differences?
 
Super Cool. There is an officiel Ferrari livery for the new 90's F1 car.
It has an official Ferrari label. Never seen this.
And..is also features the Good Year tires.

What do you mean? I've just checked through the standard livery options and none have any mention of Ferrari on them.
 
You do realize GT7 competitive online side does already lean heavily to race cars - especially gr4 and gr3? It’s not a "GT Sport" -thing. Gran Turismo offline/online lobby is very different thing versus the competitive esports side. It’s like two games in one
I do - you’re almost making my point for me with the “It’s like two games in one” part.

I do play the game and am aware of the abundance of GT3 stuff that has entered the game since GT Sport. If it wasn’t for GT Sport and the FIA involvement that came with it, would we have as much GT3 stuff as we have now?

My point is, no we wouldn’t. And it’s included in GT7 because they already had it. GT7 was/is a return to its predecessors, which to me signals less full grids of GT3 cars, more road cars and I wouldn’t expect more than two, three, four cars from those Group categories to feature in any future updates.
 
To add to what @Famine said, it's possible to add certain brand logos or change text fonts and colors by using certain special characters in the title. That's why the logo is there.

I just thought about the “Free” cars that we can’t delete. That’s why I posted the ticket as bait. Good thing we can buy and sell the Hyundai. ;)
Yeah, this is annoying. I don't even want money for my Afeela, I just want it out of my garage. But nope.

Kaz: Look, we have this awesome Sony/Honda EV for you to try out, free of charge!
Player: Great, thanks!
Player tries it out
Player: Thanks bro, it's not really my thing though. Can I sell it?
Kaz: No, it was free.
Player: Ah ok. Can I delete it?
Kaz: No.
Player: But ...
Kaz: I SAID YOU WILL HAVE IT IN YOUR GARAGE NOW!!! :irked:
Player: Ok ok! :indiff:

Ah ok. But what about that Ferarri logo (official)?

It's really a missed opportunity the N5 is Automatic (1 long gear)
Please somebody tell me we can enable N Pedals and N Drift Optimizer with these toggles:)
It would be so much cooler when we can shift ourselves. Especially since the real world implementation is also purely digital.

I can see the conversation in a lobby of custom Civics:

Old head: “Nice bra!”
Young head: “Huh? Oh, thanks….., brah. -\(*v@)/-”
Old head leaves lobby:” “
Young head to rest of the lobby: “Who even says that nowadays?”
Everyone in lobby: :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
