Gran Turismo Sport 1.31 Update Now Available: 7 New Cars, New Tokyo Track and More

[Unknown?]

F50 and P1 GTR are models from Driveclub. Compare for yourself, look at the details in both games. So I think in future we can expect more cars from driveclub coming to GTS

No they aren’t. Driveclub models would look unsightly in this game, they’re significantly lower in polys. They aren’t bad but definitely a big step down from the cars already in it. If they just put DC models in it then why not do all of them?

 

[MatskiMonk]

Yes, textures are stylized like any others in GTS, but models are the same.

It's cool, because now is big chance that we will have XJ220, Regera, One:1 and other cool stuff

Is there any specific evidence for this claim.... sounds like empty hype train fuel to me.

 

[Sportmats]

Where did the Datsun 240Z that everyone talked about go?

 

[Ryan Dungey]

Just spent the last half hour or so trying to get comfortable with the P1 GTR... it is most definitely not beginner friendly.

900+Bhp and rear wheel drive

Is there any specific evidence for this claim.... sounds like empty hype train fuel to me.

There isn't any evidence for this they are just speculating.

 

[Satomiblood]

Where did the Datsun 240Z that everyone talked about go?

Look under Gran Turismo in the Asian region of Brand Central.

 

[George Jakob]

these crappy N300 cars that slide all over the place?

What do you mean by that?

 

[Sportmats]

Look under Gran Turismo in the Asian region of Brand Central.

So it is included? It were not in the trailer.

Yes, I was in Brand Central this morning and was about to purchase it before changing my mind.

 

[Ryan Dungey]

So it is included? It were not in the trailer.

It is in trailer and it's in the Granturismo section under Japan like someone already said and it's called the Greddy FuguZ

I absolutely appreciate the support PD are showing the game, I really do. I just wish they'd poke their heads up a bit, there's SO MUCH potential that is locked away in this game.

True. Then again, we don't really know how busy the team is behind the scenes.

- A new street track is really not what we need, surely there are some B-Level real tracks that won't want a fortune to model (like Oschersleben for e.g)

First, I wouldn't classify Tokyo Expressway as a street track when compared to the likes of Rome, Madrid or Tokyo R246. Yes, it's a public road but also a freeway offering a totally different driving style from what conventional street tracks do. Besides, I believe there's some sub-cultural phenomenon revolving around Tokyo's freeways in JDM circles. That said, I'm not sure why PD decided on more Expressway configurations when their efforts could have prioritized the revival of something like Tokyo R246.

Second, do we have reason to believe that Oschersleben is to cheaper to license than any other track? It being smaller and less famous means nothing in case those in charge of sharing the license are a greedy bunch.

Third, money spent on licensing probably affects the budget to license other stuff. So if PD went ahead and licensed Oschersleben, then there would be less money to license the tracks that resonate with everyone, such as Spa and Silverstone. It's crucial that PD first and foremost preserves mass appeal.

Is the servers back up? Because I made significant progress while the servers were offline and I still can't reconnect to the servers so that I can save :/

 

[OJT6627]

It is in trailer and it's in the Granturismo section under Japan like someone already said and it's called the Greddy FuguZ

I like how it is in Japan's Brand Central and yet it clearly says that the manufacturer country is USA

 

[Famine]

Where did the Datsun 240Z that everyone talked about go?

Look under Gran Turismo in the Asian region of Brand Central.

So it is included? It were not in the trailer.

It was:

It's the last of the seven cars shown, at 1:00.

Is the servers back up? Because I made significant progress while the servers were offline and I still can't reconnect to the servers so that I can save :/

The servers are back up yes, but you will not be able to save the game until you have updated it. Just like every other update, and the reason why we put this in every update article:

As usual, the online services of GT Sport will be unavailable during the maintenance period and then until you update the game. This includes the game save function, so be sure to save manually well ahead of the maintenance window.

Because the SEMA awards here are tied to GT, which is Japanese.

 

[Lord Protector]

900+Bhp and rear wheel drive

AND GTS tyre model.

 

[Marc30599]

The servers are back up yes, but you will not be able to save the game until you have updated it. Just like every other update, and the reason why we put this in every update article:

Yes I updated it and thereafter, I was playing through circuit experiences winning some nice cars while the maintenance was going on. Once the maintenance period was over I tried reconnecting but it wouldn't reconnect :/ I don't want to lose the progress I made but if I have to restart the whole game then that's what I'll do.

Edit:
Restarted the game and the servers are up.... Wow well let me redo these circuit experiences

 

[Pigems]

I can’t friggin wait to get home from work today, I want my F50!!! I’m so stoked for this car!

 

[ca18detsilvia]

I can’t friggin wait to get home from work today, I want my F50!!! I’m so stoked for this car!

Me too!!!!! I bought the Z and the F50 right before I left for work but didn't have time to drive either one!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[djidane57]

has the new FIA races penalty system added to sport mode ?

 

[FoRiZon]

F50 is slower than F40 just like real life. It has its own charm though.


P1 GTR is fast yet so calm. I dont even remember I reach 200mph until I look at the speedometer. Its really easy to drive for it's horsepower.


Gameplay videos coming soon.

 

[Marky264]

Did they Add in new In Game Display in Cockpit mode as seen in the preview lap of the Tokyo Inner Loop on the GT YouTube Channel ? I can't find the setting anywhere

 

[Cerebral303]

FIA Museum - 2014 - Is Kaz standing on the table?

 

[Vspectra]

Obviously not the same models.

[ZR1CRO]

Jenkins the cat is back!

 

[GiuliettaQV82]

PD must support brand museums too...

 

[Unknown?]

I knew they weren’t DC models. No way they’d allow models with only 250k polys.

 

[HellzFire]

Confirmed and it's not just a few more power , the difference is enormous.

This needs PDs full focus. The game is basically broken.

 

[Divaldo]

I´d rather have the most modern version of the Vette instead of this 'vintage' Vette

 

[HellzFire]

Doing some ping tests, I have a suspiction PD changed the place of the North American region servers too.

I got 110-120 before update, getting 145 now on my american account.

South/Central American servers are located in São Paulo. 100% sure.

 

[queleuleu]

Legends. I take it as very thin hope for a future inclusion or pure provocation (Oh and it reminds me that exclusivity is never a good thing, where is Pikes Peak in racing games?)
