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

[PletdeKoe]

Can't believe I get to play a new GT in a couple of hours. It has been 3,5 years since GT6 came out. So excited! I have a subaru, mustang and corvette as starter cars.

It says hosting race events starts at 2pm does that mean you can't do anything till 3pm anyway?

We don't know. Either it's a mistake with the times (it's one or the other), or it could be we'll get a 2 hour qualifying period from 2-4pm before actual races start (not 3pm, that was a GMT time they gave rather than BST).

Same 3 cars here

 

[Firehuntah]

So, hopefully only 25 minutes left then for the EU beta to really start. I'm guessing it's indeed 2 hours of qualifying time trials before the actual races start. Hope we also get to try the new tracks already or maybe we have to start with same old tracks.

Just wish we could begin qualifying now. The more time spent offline before the final races the better.

Especially in new tracks.

 

[syntex123]

Exactly @dimassa19

Nervous now. I want to begin practising those tracks (if they're in todays roster) and get myself familiarized with the game. Been some time since I played GT last. (Sadly)

It's been decades since i last played a GT game "GT2"

@SkyArkz23 RR Type 4, the most memorable soundtrack in a racing game for me.

I could never go that long without GT. Which reminds me. I need to keep building on my GT tattoo.

I won't be getting a tattoo.

 

[doblocruiser]

I understand correctly it opens up in 10 minutes?

Me too 👍

Oh but I will, a gaming/car sleeve. The GT logo is a good start. But it isn't an all hail GT tattoo though, it has something deeper meaning behind it

 

[TetsuKobura]

These last two days have given me the two cars I definitely don't want; the Gr3 Peaugeot and Volkswagen... 🤬

Why?...... don't they go round ovals very well?.....hehe

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

I thought it was 15:00 BST (which will be roughly an hour).

 

[Aphelion]

What's up with those thumbs?

I was using my new t300rs today, learning how to use it, trying to drift when the force feedback aggressively yanked the wheel to one side, and it really hurt my thumb as it was hooked in to the wheel as normal. Maybe that's why he is holding the wheel like that

 

[Firehuntah]

No, it's 15:00 CEST (14:00 BST) which is now, but still no races..

 

[robert_]

Does it mean that we can test the tracks and cars until the races start in about two hours?

 

[Tired Tyres]

I thought it was 15:00 BST (which will be roughly an hour).

3pm GMT. That's 2pm BST. The races should be live now. They aren't.

 

[ghostrider135]

I thought it was 15:00 BST (which will be roughly an hour).

It says 14:00 BST, According to Google its 14:03 BST, Is it really a surprise for a delay when PD is involved ?

 

[GTPVenomZombie]

Can't find any races. Or is it another hour until the qualifying?

 

[Gunma36]

It says 17:00 in Italy, not 15:00. That's why nothing has started yet. 2 hours to go...

 

[Mr P]

Yep nothing changed here either.. been logged in on menu screen for 30 mins and nothing happening

 

[WarriusZero]

Letting us practice for a couple of hours would be a sensible thing to do...

 

[Nexus1]

Why they didn't let us use Arcade mode? Ugh...PD...

 

[TRGTspecialist]

Remember there was a caveat in the original announcement.

*The starting time is approximate and the races may start earlier or later.

3pm GMT. That's 2pm BST. The races should be live now. They aren't.

4pm BST - one hour ahead, not behind.

"Hosting of race events starting 15 April, 15:00 CEST"

It's now 15:07 CEST.

 

[TS050]

They're up!

Gr.4 on Brands, N300 on Dragon Trail, Gr.3 on Blue Moon Bay.

 

[Famine]

3pm GMT. That's 2pm BST.

This is wrong twice over. 3pm GMT is 4pm BST, as BST is GMT+1 (remember a couple of weeks ago when we turned the clocks forwards from 1pm GMT to 2pm BST?) - but the schedule does say 3pm BST.

The races should be live now. They aren't.

Though this is entirely accurate
