I'm not upset with PD for not including Spa with this update. Am I a little disappointed we don't have a new track to play with this month? Sure. I treated the inclusion of Spa this past weekend not as a guarantee of its inclusion with this update, but as an opportunity for participants to test it out. As usual, these events feature many of the world's best GTS players and this gave them an opportunity to voice any issues they may have experienced with the track build.
We know the track is coming. And it's probably not that far away from being implemented in a future update. Sure, it'll suck to wait another month or two, but this past weekend was evidence of its inclusion. I think we can move on from speculating over its absence. And we can certainly scratch it from our wish lists. We just have to wait a little bit longer for it.

May I suggest that you try the Eckerts Mach 40 with SH and TC0 at Red Bull Wet. I did several laps in the death machine and had scary fun.

Really quite impressed with the rain conditions. Took the Version 6 out on sports hard tyres and it is quite playful for an all wheel drive in the wet. Back was keen to get loose and if you left too much on into a corner you get understeer aplenty.
Nice effort, PD.

Since this batch of cars is tailored exactly to my taste, I might as well share some impressions.
Honda S2000:
Very on point and focused machine in both looks and performance. Just what an affordable sports car should be, and those old-school Honda revs never get boring.
Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo:
It's immediately noticeable that this car is trapped between luxurious comfort and sporty performance. Handles and accelerates relatively impressively for its weight. The latter isn't helped by unusual gear ratios. Largely uncompetitive overall, but still an admirable piece of bubble economy engineering. There's just something about those aerodynamically shaped retro halo cars with their gimmicks, rumbling engines and unashamedly loud turbo noises.
Nissan Silvia K's:
Nicely balanced ride and the turbo boost is perfectly tuned. Underrated for the way it performs in non-drifting situations.
Subaru Impreza WRX STi:
It doesn't pull and glue to road like as much as the 22B, but it's still a very fun car having its own character. Most importantly it takes me right back to 1998 where I first discovered the Impreza in Gran Turismo. Things like the special front badge, huge WRX rear logo, rim colour and old paint options are cool childhood memories I had forgotten about. I'm grateful that PD decided to remind us all these years later.
Toyota Corolla Levin:
Not much to say that hasn't already been covered by the Sprinter Trueno. Had hoped it would be differentiated more with the more common instrument gauges, but I like the exterior of this export model more. Glad to have it although at this point the game would arguably have benefitted more from a Celica.

My point is PD never confirmed it in the update. End of story.

It’s not too hard, it’s only 7 laps. You can ‘hyper mile’ it at fuel setting 3 do some short shifting and some lift and coast, and do only 1 stop while the AI stop every 2 laps. My first attempt I pushed hard as normal, had to stop at the end of lap 2, then ‘hyper miled’ it until the end as described above but came about 10 seconds short of winning, probably mostly due to a few spins and other accidents that could (should) have been avoided. So if you just take it easy, fuel setting 3 or higher you’ll only have to stop once and the AI will most likely drop off every time they pit... Going to try again tomorrow

Ah that makes sense I was actually created an offline custom race, shame though it does not work unless you do an online lobby. It makes it little more than just a dull day to me. Other racing games manage to create offline wet conditions well.

And this is good reason (for old fans) for having this update so we can do this...:
You know before this update...
I didn't know I was looking for, I hadn't found it baby, that's for sure.
It ripped me up and spread me all around, in the dust of the deed of time.
It's almost as if I was losing my favourite game and losing my mind again...
I'm really really sorry lol.

Just wondered how AI handles the heavy wet on real conditions. For fun i took out the widow maker and went to custom race. Put the AI level to expert and well.. it felt like a sierra time rally with all of the AI braking waaaaay too early.
Had few fun bumbs on the way to keep it interesting.
With that amount of cars and mist the condition feel very immersive - and looks nice.

Yes you can, my mistake. Tried slicks this time could barely get round the track without crawling, which of course is exactly how it should be !

S2000 runs low 1:06 at Tsukuba in stock form. Aliens can see 1:05.
Good rival for MR2, 300ZX and Evo IV.

I am still debating if I should take out all of my favorite cars in the rain. I am afraid the rain will get all of my cars dirty and I have to clean them and buff them out real good. Just too much work for me.
