Gran Turismo Sport Closed Beta Coming March 17: First the US, Then EU Region

[JoaoSilva]

Can I say that so far the car roaster looks "uninspiring" or predictable? I love the Alfa and Jaguar gr.3 race cars but the modern and focused car list make the game like any other car game. I'm still not sold on the online focus with modern cars.

You're probably going to have to wait for GT7 (if it is being eventually made) for a bigger car list with more variety and with cars from different eras.

I do like the focus on newer cars they had with GT Sport (It's nice to have an up-to-date car list for once ) , but i'd like to see GT7 with the things i said above.

So what's the idea, can we start playing the beta at midnight GMT time ???

No 14.00 cet

 

[Dynamite_Dave]

The Clock Is Ticking.....

 

[tonderai]

It feels like " your new car is here sir, the keys are back at base and will be sent by mail"... anyone else been checking to see if the races are up yet? Trying not to moan excessively because I got an invite at least.

 

[Akouhi]

What 15 april right now here and still no access...

The second phase of the beta will start as announced : "Hosting of race events starting 15 April | 13:00 UTC / 14:00 BST / 15:00 CEST", as you can read on the Playstation forum.

 

[JamboGT]

They did give a start time and date, better to download early and be ready than get the code the day the test starts.

 

[faburisu]

Ok thanks for that , see you online in less than 15 hours then

Thats why the EU guys probably didn't get to go yet.

 

[UnkaD]

Just jumped on my PS4 right now and saw that. Great news. I can't wait to give it a shot.

 

[JoaoSilva]

That's probably only a section of the course , the "Seaside" section , it will be great to see a new track.

 

[Panoz]

Took a few laps of the Seaside course, very fun track all around.

The back half has a deceiving SSR11-style chicane that may cause trouble.

 

[Fabr_123]

Great track, miles better than Tokyo!

 

[TetsuKobura]

Ugh can I please have an FR for Gr 4 please? Driving an FF on Nurburgring is suffering. Also hi Marvin!

Strange, I have the Mustang and Corvette Gr. 4 but I like the Megane Gr. 4 better. Feels more stable, I guess.

Edit: what strange text-pocalypse has befallen this double-post?

 

[TetsuKobura]

Yeah that was a huge mistake not ever setting a qualifying time for Nurburgring. The back has so many sluggish people and they always are in the middle of the track.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Don't like the huge rumble strips but the track looks like a lot of fun.

 

[RACECAR]

The plot thickens..

 

[RedlineRacer]

Dragon Trail is 🤬 beautiful

 

[UnkaD]

Just had the worst race of my life on Willow. Started 2nd, finished 12th and my SR fell from 45 to 38. All because I couldn't read what the guy in front of me was going to do based on what he did the lap before.

Edit: I just had the best race on Willow. Started on pole, fought off second on the first lap and ran away for a commanding win. SR jumped back up to 41.

The Gr.3 cars demand much patience in the throttle department, but if you're able to keep your cool during the race it is so worth the effort.

 

[TetsuKobura]

Some filthy c:censored:r in a Z4 spun me out when I was in like 3rd place, went to the back, and had to make up positions. My SR didnt even go up after that race. I'm livid.

 

[RACECAR]

Turns out our new oval is actually a Pocono lookalike.

 

[ToyGTone]

So I was doing pretty well at the willow spring with my Peugeot VGT, Nice grip and was able to pass people easily. It was the final cornor where I became second place and when I crossed the line, suddenly i was shown as the first place so I was like... and then...
"You have been disconnected"



🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

 

[UnkaD]

Turns out our new oval is actually a Pocono lookalike.

I was thinking that it wasn't a traditional oval when I saw the Porsche screenshots. The position of the grandstands in the far distance didn't seem to coincide with a normal 180ish-degree curve.

 

[Panoz]

Blue Moon Bay is the love child of Pocono and Talladega.
