Gran Turismo Sport 1.34 Update Now Available: Five New Cars, Autopolis Circuit and More

Well, if I remember correctly I found quiet different Results for Qualifying for 2016.
Indeed you did - the Round 3 of 2016, which happens to be the only wet qualifying out of those mentioned.

Why do people mock the Supra for having a BMW engine. Most F1 teams buy their engines from other manufacturers. Like it or not electric engines are the future. It makes sense that Toyota would concentrate their focus there instead of making high performance sports car engines for a car that will likely not sell enough units to recoup the costs of development.
 
Really loving Autopolis, what a great circuit. Some have said it has a great flow, i disagree - it has no flow and an awkwardness to it which is what makes it so great. Traditional gravel traps, a sensible width and corners with increasing and decreasing radius make for a circuit that makes you concentrate. The pit lane entrance is a bugger and caught me out first time but unless youre a complete idiot you wont make the same mistake twice! I've found it suits M.R cars best. Gr4 was the Megane Trophy, Gr3 was the Renault RS-01 and Gr2 was the '16 NSX. I did the Gr3 endurance event first and it was a great way to settle into a new circuit and improve steadily with each lap. I finished 1st after lapping the whole grid. Standard car, RS tyres.
 
Autopolis feels good. Something different, something new, sometimes being slower and smoother makes a lap much faster than a Lap where you try to go as fast as possible. So that's definitely something cool.

I think they might've changed the physics of curbs, they seem to have a bigger effect and even seem to drag your car more towards them when you touch them.

Out of the blue they give us this fantastic real life track! Couldn't agree more about the flow but I too really like the feel. At first it was almost like a mix of corners from some other circuits. This was totally undriven / unlearned track for me. Memorized it partially with the Eunos and finally Campaign-enduranced it in the GT3 class.
By the way, did you get the clean race bonus? Quite a pile of Cr.! (credits)
 
Nice to see a new circuit, Autopolis is a nice addition but I don´t like it a lot, only love the downhill section, the rest of the track is very tiny for a GR.3, GR.2, GR.1 cars, the last corners are really weird, very technical circuit become monotonous after few lap
 
Anyone notice after this latest update, saving the Car Livery to My Library seems forever to get 100% complete. It uses to be very fast but it's getting slower and slower with each new update.
 
So, my thoughts from all this:

Autopolis Circuit
Very technical track. Very hard to get pass on opponents considering the constant medium corner turn and thus very much a do or die situation where either you can overshoot your car or crash into opponent if you do slight mistake. Thankfully if you couldn't master the full course you can just go Shortcut.



Toyota GR Supra RZ 2019 (A90)
I found it to be quite faster than I could imagine (compared to the A80 obviously but it also put a dent on cars like BMW M4 as well). Though the handling needs further tuning as the A80 handles considerably better than the drifty A90. It has potential there.



McLaren F1 GTR - BMW 1995
My favourite car (albeit prefer the Longtail version but I wouldn't mind this). Great sound and considerably much faster than most of Gr3 cars. Though it should be in Gr2 imho as even IRL it races at GT500 class. I notice that this car despite being the fastest Gr3, it drives slower than what it used to in GT6 (used to be even faster than GT500 back then).


Others cars will follow soon.
 
It sucks how PD messed up the aero flaps on the Huayra when turning. For example if turning right, the left flaps should go up but they don’t. Cmon PD you had it right in GT6...

If it really was that way in GT6 it wasn't right. The inside flaps are the ones that should be raised.

Fina livery looks amazing. :cheers:
