Well not to my ears. The basic engine note is quite close but still not 1:1 with the real one. The gear whine in GTS is too loud (just classic PD copy paste from other cars). The BOV sound which is the "signature" sound of the P1 series is completely missing, and that changes the whole character of the driving experience. The BOV is personally my favourite aspect of the car beyond even the looks and speed (compared to the LaF and 918 which both has very "clean" sounds in comparison), so it's very disappointing for me for PD to get this wrong.
This is what proper audio sounds like:
Compare to real life video above, taking into account differences in recording equipment, AC is practically 1:1 with real life:
I see PD also still uses automatic deployment for DRS as well
The lighting looks natural, nothing too stylised, effortless. Simply real, a kind of presence. And it's not a matter of polygon count, art direction is everything.Their super premiums are so impressive. I can't stop looking at the P1 . Kaz said they might need to start all over again in 10+ years but I think he was trolling . The super premiums look timeless.
What is BOV?
I prefer the Levin, but to each his own.
Do Sport Mode races pay out pretty big these days? I swore an oath to never race Sport Mode again, but I'll break it if I can earn a mil in 30 mins.
Yeah, you're not so much better than PD on GT League.Yeah the Leagues is a big disappointment as usual.
How about a Tesla vs. BMW i3 battle? lol
I really like the older cars like the F50 and McLaren F1. They don’t or rotate as quickly as some of the new ones, but once you find the right rhythm, they are really enjoyable to drive.Drove the F50 yesterday on the Nordschleife. Managed a 7.28.xxx. Contrary to what many Ferrari lovers say, I really think it is one of the most beautiful Ferraris made. The drive itself was...intense you could probably say. Can't wait to give it another 2h or so on the Ring and to see what it can really do. I could probabky manage a 7.24.xxx max, the aliens a la mikegt3 could likekly make it go unter the 7.20s. Great, great car I love it!
Welp, as anticipated this update was a bust for me. I'll admit the Tokyo tracks are better than I thought they'd be, but I still don't like them at all and will never choose them again once I've completed the campaign races. Really really really not looking forward to the Tokyo Endurance or F1 races at all. I thought I'd enjoy the Circuit Experience in Barcelona, but instead discovered I really don't like the Lambo . At least when I finally got gold, took too many tries, I got a new car out of it - Vulcan. A few of the new cars look interesting, but with nowhere to use em I wouldn't know. I've bought the Trans Am as a tribute to the late Burt Reynolds more than anything else... McLaren looks fun....once I can do something with it beyond a poorly paid custom race.
Tried only two cars so far, because i'm saving up for Ford Mk IV
Tesla drives funky, liked it. Top speed is abysmal tho, but you really can't expect much from an EV car when it comes to top speed
Fugu Z feels... weird. It's like the car tries too hard to go sideways even on Racing Supersofts. I guess it'll make for a good drifter, but suspension will need some adjustments for racing purposes
Does anyone think that the F50 is a little easy to drive?
Since the intro of The Prancing horse to GT the halo cars have been sons of 🤬 to drive, OK so the 458 GT3 is a little too ridiculous, but surely the F50 should be a little bit more of a challenge.
As a sidebar I haven't driven any of LaFerrari, Enzo, F40 or GTO in GTS yet so I haven't got any scale for referencing them.
Any thoughts and observations are welcome
The F50 was engineered as an F1 car for the road, so obviously it won't handle like a clumsy fridge. Try the Shelby Cobra if you want to remind yourself what a difficult car is like to drive.
The F40, Enzo and LaFerrari were built with the same philosophy, I'd be surprised if I could just take any of those out for a race and keep them on the road/pointing in the right direction at the first attempt never mind winning!
About the tesla : (because it is so far the only i have tried from the pack)
Its horrid on the handling front because its too heavy and accelaration is very slow and not really helping considering EV Are usually torquey
The AI are just a bunch of mobile chicanes, that's not what I am talking about, to summarise, do you think the F50 is easier to drive than LaFerrari/Enzo/Shelby Cobra?The F40 is rather difficult thanks to it being turbo-charged in that laggy way characterizing many cars at the time. However, the F50, Enzo and LaFerrari have no such turbo boost and are therefore more linear on the throttle. Also keep in mind that it isn't exactly hard to win against the "AI" in Gran Turismo.

There is roughly about 180 premium cars from GT6 yet to be included in GT Sport.
I strongly agree:
Sound is incredibly accurate: but the interior misses the quick spool and blow off valve "exploding" sound when decelerating or letting go off the throttle (even Driveclub did well: ) I think they should make that louder but everything else is good imo.
