Gran Turismo New York Preview: New Partnership, New Content, New Drama

[mcfizzle]

Presumably the new partnership is with Spa. After we heard it was a contractual issue keeping it from GT Sport, perhaps now it's a strategic thing in relation to the FIA.

I'm hoping the partnership is more than Spa coming to the game. We received plenty of new tracks and they've never referred to that as a partnership. When I hear partnership I think of a race organization like Formula E or something that will bring a meaningful addition to the game, like the Toyota series.

Montoya is the new GTS partner? And Michelin too?

Can you tell what Montoya's shirt says? Could be a clue to what/who he is representing. It looks like it says Acura-Penske

Acura Team Penske maybe?

I'm hoping the new partnership means tyre wear is suddenly much improved.

One can dream right?

@mthomas_95 : Michelin is the new partnership? I saw their logo in some of the screenshots of Montoya

 

[Jordan]

I’ll be in the Pro Am race with Kokubun in the Mazda Atenza!

This is going to go either really well... or it’s going to be very embarrassing.

[wowbaggerBR]

The new partnership is Michelin? Welp.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Michelin just been confirmed as GTS tire partner.

 

[TS050]

If a better tyre model doesn't come from this I don't even know anymore

 

[AlexWilmot]

I really dislike speculating but I'm sure I've just seen in the background during this interview, "Gordon" is that Jeff Gordon? as well as what looked like a Jaguar xj220...

Hey everyone! I did not want to create a new topic on the forum. I am going to be at the NYC event tomorrow. I will be wearing either a Gran Turismo/Gamestop polo or a blue 24 Hours of Le Mans shirt from blipshift. I am also going to be wearing either a blue Gulf hat, a Batman/Dale Earnhardt Jr. or a PlayStation hat. Message me if you want to meet up. Thanks and hopefully see some of you there!

I have to say this game just seems to get better and better. I'm a longtime xbox/Forza guy and have switched mostly to PC now for my racing on iRacing and other sims but have to say this game almost makes we want to get a PS4 Pro. Just too costly for one game really but it does look to have a fantastic online experience.

Don't worry, you're not missing much.

Don't worry, you're not missing much.

Lol

 

[Fabr_123]

Showing us all these GTE and LMP cars that will never make into GTS. I'm crying a lot.

 

[05XR8]

JPM used to tons of grip, but lots of sliding in GTS. Welcome back to Gran Turismo.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Don't worry, you're not missing much.

All a matter of personal opinion.

Translator-san has changed his look a bit:

 

[DesertPenguin]

Juan Pablo Montoya as the "Am" driver with a video game driver as the "Pro" driver puts a huge grin on my face

 

[VXR]

Great, another tyre model?

 

[Gtsport28]

Yes

 

[SlipZtrEm]

@TRL LIGHTNING and @F4H Super GT on pole? Yep, they've got this. 👍

 

[DesertPenguin]

This is insane! Juan Pablo Montoya is racing WTF1's Matt Gallagher and JPM spun on the chicane at the end of the lap!

 

[05XR8]

I had awesome results in the Atenza at Catalunya. Consistent tyre wear from start to finish. Team MAzda will move up the order for sure.

Montoya with a drama at the final chicane.

 

[Famine]

If I was @Jordan right now, I'd be unbroadcastable. Which is probably why I'm not there.

 

[Turbotwin01]

As long as you can still put whatever tire sticker you want on the cars this seems alright.

 

[tankuroded]

Remember when Yokohama was GT6's tire partner?
