Gran Turismo Sport 1.38 Update Now Available: Five New Cars and More

[05XR8]

Tuned the fit to as close as the Spoon K20A version. Would make for a good race series.

There is no chassis 100 on racingsportscars either https://www.racingsportscars.com/type/Porsche/962.html Is it possible that car #100 is an unraced test car?

There was the 1T car from 1985 Le Mans, but I'm not sure if that was a car that was raced or not. Hard to find info on that sort of thing. The picture is from 2011, so the car was still in that guise.

This update has given me an unexpected sensation. Relief! A few weeks ago I spent some time getting used to and subsequently into Assetto Corsa Ultimate. I have been having an absolute BLAST! When I first started playing it I was splitting my driving time about 50/50 between the two, within a few days I was only turning on GT Sport because I felt obligated to keep doing the April Marathon challenge. I'd do that as quickly as possible and then start up AC Ultimate. I also felt obligated to play GT Sport and a bit guilty for moving on so quick. It's been a habit, or a practice, for a while as I try to git gud and has been my escape from the grind of life on the bad days for a while now. Funny how we feel obligated to certain things. Anyway, today I turned on GT Sport, bought the new Porsche, the only thing I am remotely interested in from this update, and ran around SSX twice to get the daily. It was of course yet another useless dupe that wasted my time coming up and having to be deleted. I looked at the new events, contemplated and thought, nah, I'd rather do something else. I shut GT Sport down and started up ACU. At the moment I didn't feel up to a race with the either of the 962s available in ACU, among many Porsches, but I did feel like driving a Porsche. I did a 12 lap "Quick Race" of Spa in a 911 Carrera. It was a blast!

Tomorrow, I won't be turning GT Sport on for the first time since.... September I think. For the most part it's been great, although not without its flaws it has been a lovely introduction to sim racing. I've think I've learned a few things and hopefully gotten a bit faster. So my friend, we'll keep in touch for sure, but today I realized you and I don't want the same things and I keep expecting you to do and be things that just aren't you. That's ok, I'm relieved to stop expecting you to be something you're not. My new, to me, friend sure isn't perfect either, but we have a lot more in common right now, I'm learning a ton and most importantly I am having a lot more fun with them.

I feel the same. Used to be on every day without fail. No I'm just not playing as it's becoming stale.

I

Love that they add the trueno but, that dash was disappointing, just like the absent front lights that are in Initial D. That said...
I was making my livery of the Initial D trueno... Because the back lettering is apart of the livery not the car like the black lines, they disappear... Lucky I uploaded SVGs for the Trueno logo, but the Apex twin cam 16 lettering (made that with default letters). It didn't bother me as much, because on the actual Initial D Trueno, the lettering on the car is much higher up than on the GT Sport car... Last but not least, I also added the number plate. It's 100% complete and just look for the one by Katsudon1996.

It has the iconic sound when going above 100 km/h, so who cares about the rest?

The 962 C feels like it’s missing 200HP...

No cummins diesel, no care /s

Nice to see the ae86. I will skip the others.

 

[Sage Ages]

So far, the Audi TT seems to be the most fun car to drive this update. I was expecting it to be an understeering mule but it actually swings the rear out pretty easily.

 

[WestSideMike]

I think there should just be an option for no plates at all. I don't get the infatuation with license plates for cars in a racing game. Seems every game has them and they're just ugly and pointless. Like I can't honestly tell the car in front of me is an AE86 and need it shoved on a plate in a novelty fashion.

I was doing a paint scheme on the old Fiat 500 and you can't even edit the gaudy ass rear plate.

PS....I painted it to resemble the Little tikes car

It's a workaround, but you could always apply black decals over the plates if they bother you that much.

There are some plates that you can't edit sadly

Hi, first post, couldn't go longer banging my head on the desk at how this one has not been figured this out.

I think the 1988 962 is actually from 1985, it isn't the '1T' car as multiple cars carried that number at various different points (also this particular car carried a yellow window strip when it was the '1T' car, not orange as posted previously), the practice of the Porsche team back then was to take multiple chassis and race which ever one the drivers preferred the feel of. Typically the car number would belong to the driver pairing, in this case the '1' belonged to Jackie Ickx and Jochen Mass in 1985, then Derek Bell and Hans-Joachim Stuck in 1986.

This exact car which is in the game is most likely to be chassis '962-002' and more often than not, this car carried the number '1', the following races are the ones where it didn't carry that number:

1985 Busweiser GT Weekend Mosport - '1T' (practiced only)
1985 Spa 1000km - '1T' (practiced only)
1986 24hrs Le Mans - '3' (driven by Vern Schuppan & Drake Olson)
1986 Spa 1000km - '1T' (practiced only)
1987 24hrs Le Mans - '19' (Vern Schuppan, Kies Nierop & Price Cobb - written off in practice)

All other races which it raced at (7) it carried the number '1' mentioned before. Contrary to what that link posted earlier says, the car was always a 'Werks' car raced by Porsche AG and was never sold to Vern Schuppan (as far as I know).

It was set to race at the 1987 24hrs of Le Mans and had set a qualifying time, but an accident during practice wrote it off while Price Cobb was driving, at some point it's restored to the 1985-spec so not sure where Polyphony got '1988' from.

Full racing history here: https://www.racingsportscars.com/chassis/photo/962-002.html

Aftermath of accident which wrote it off:

There is a small chance it might be 962-005 also, but I doubt it: https://www.racingsportscars.com/chassis/photo/962-005.html

It's not 006 because that became the '17T' car for 87 & 88.

None of the other chassis ran in the Rothmans colours with the #1.

So in short, it should be:
'1985 Porsche 962C', not '1988 Porsche 962C' - also, in 1985 race-trim the car produced 610-620bhp which kind of supports this.

Edit: no idea why the video has done that, it won't let me add a line-break for the video.

You just sticker up the front plate in a fashion that it damn near blends in with the bumper behind it.

What's this all about? Is the update causing issues?

I opened my PS4 this morning and let the update happen then went off to work for the day so I can come home without waiting. Was there a "bad time" to update?

Its not the update, it’s the server. Gallery and community features where patchy this afternoon. Now it appears some community features have been turned off while they sort things.

The 962 C feels like it’s missing 200HP...

You can up power to 720bhp in GT League. In BoP events it’s almost 800bhp like the other Group C cars.

 

[Phaceless_Ph]

The 962 C feels like it’s missing 200HP...

In race trim the car had 610-620bhp in 1985 (I strongly believe that this is the 1985 spec), qualification at Le Mans with the low downforce spec however, different story.

some are in the rear wing area.

It certainly is a '85 spec car....

Quick note, according to @Furi, it's actually 962-004 : https://www.historicporsche.com/11/962-collection/porsche-962-004-works

Nice job there! Yeah I know but some plates simply can't be edited.

 

[GTPorsche]

AFAIK, there isn't a plate in the game that can't be edited.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Yes, the 962 is great and all, but how can a mundane car like the Fit be soo much fun? It's a small 5 door hatchback that doesn't have a tonne of performance, rolls about and has a low top speed. Yet it was delightful to drive around Miyabi. You aren't going at dangerously high speeds to find the limit of the car, and I think that's what makes it fun. Same for the AE86, a car with true character. This update reminds me that going slow can be fun, and we should cherish the everyday heroes of motoring. Oh, and the legends of motoring too.

What?

 

[Panoz]

Here's the chassis plate that is on the 962 in GT Sport.

Going by face value it looks like 962-107 which was a Brun Motorsport customer car that later was rebuilt with a new chassis number: 117.

167 was a another option as that chassis was shipped to Japan but was built in 1990 and was destroyed in a crash at Fuji the following year.

Fun mystery.

[Confus]

Fit is confirmed for extremely good.

 

[AllMightyVTEC]

Anyone else think given the body style and obvious power specs, that the 962 should be patched so it’s an ‘85 instead of an ‘88? This wouldn’t be the first car let alone Porsche that they had a similar fix for.

Looking at the plate it appears there is a rectangle censor thing there, so we can't tell what chasis it is exactly. Middle of the 0 [on] the right extending to the middle of the next digit.
Messed' up.. makes me think it is an 85' now.

They did rename the 997 GT3 from an '08 model to '09, so it's possible.

 

[H1s6n]

2 cars are good out of 5

 

[GT Kelv]

Digital dash on the Trueno?!?

I'm gonna cry... so sad...

Was that an option on that car?
