Had my first online races last night and it was a mixed bag to say the least! Some wins, poles, fastest laps and a few good battles in some races and assault and battery in others! :lol:

I did note a positive change in thes penalty system compared to the demo. In the demo if you received a heavy knock from behind and were forced into the barrier you could be hit with a 10 second penalty and lose significant SR but that no longer seems to be the case. In one race in particular I experienced what it must be to be a pinball with hits from behind but didn't receive any time penalties and my SR remained white and unchanged.
 
Just saw the file size of full GTsport on psn. It's 43,0 GB, just like the demo. Can not belive they made me download whole game, for a demo...
It starts at 53GB, then with the updates it's somewhere in 60.3GB, and then with the Scapes pack, GT Sport is a ridiculously large game at 70GB. It might one day surpass Forza 7 in terms of install size...
 
Today is my birthday and I got the Dualshock 4 Gran Turismo SPORT Limited Edition from my GF :embarrassed: She's the best.

I also got a birthday car from Gran Turismo, Lexus LC500. Thanks PD.

Oh man, that is insane, good thing I have unlimited itnernet traffic.. But still.
 
I bought the game yesterday. Limited edition, which came for me at the same price as the standard one. So I'll take the extra stuff alright. Did everyone get different photo cards out of it or what? Cause I've got a Quattro S1, R18 and RCZ Gr.B to...well, I dunno. What can I do with these photos anyway? I mean, I already have a Peugeot rally car model on my desk. Admittedly the RCZ is a lot prettier, but who would put them in an actual photo frame? I know I wouldn't.

Anyway. Did a bit of the old-school Arcade Mode at first, but it's a shame most of the default rent-a-cars aren't great. Of course, the game gives out cars like candy, which does make the very idea of buying cars seem a little pointless, but that didn't stop me buying two Mitsubishis to go with the Gr.B the beta gave me and the Gr.4 and 3 I got given for 'signing a contract' with them. Just need to know when the Gr.B road car will be available...how are they doing the mileage exchange anyway? Rotating every day?

Worked a little bit through the three single player modes. A lot of it seems all very casual oriented at the start, but some of the circuit experiences were at least a little tricky. I've only done the ones with cars I like in this game so far, but the rally ones are a little tricky thanks to the awkward physics and even the rather wacky BB Raceway gave me some trouble. Might do more tonight, if I have time to play.

Of course, Sport mode is the biggie here but I haven't done any actual racing, because I've been all too busy testing cars out. Since there wasn't a proper track to test Gr.3s on yesterday (I know what's best on Northern Isle - a 4C Gr.3, because I drove it there so often in the beta), I went and took on all the Gr.4s. Obviously the GT-R is the best because it's clearly the fastest and amongst the best-handling, so much for 'balance' of performance, but from a driving standpoint there were other good'uns too. Obviously the 4WDs are mostly excellent - the Veyron (still can't believe that's a thing), Huracan and, brilliantly, the Evo X, but not the Atenza as it's too understeery. Obviously the FWDs are definitely very understeery, but the TT cup and RCZ in particular seem to get by fine. But there were some pleasant surprises among the RWDs that usually try to kill you. The most pleasant of all were the American duo of the C7 and Viper. I'd tried the latter before on Lago Maggiore and found out how good it was, but the C7 had much the same thing going on. So they're both good. The 458 was another strong one, as was the SLS AMG although I was well used to that from the beta. Even the Porsche Cayman was a decent drive too.

Now to see what else comes up on the dailies. And I need to work out what races I'm doing for those three championships PD is bigging up. I did notice one thing with the Gr.Bs though - much as I love the Evo, I noticed, while doing the Circuit Experiences for Fisherman's Ranch and Colorado Springs, the Focus did seem a lot more user friendly on the latter. Of course, I'll have to wait and see what they're all like on tarmac. The Evo is a little strange on it, but not necessarily unbearable.

Of course, the Scapes are as impressive as I expected. Still want to visit the lot of them. Though I missed a chance to visit some of Lisbon's over the last three days. Curses.

Two more things. Firstly, I've decided my favourite song in the game is this:



Good to see London Elektricity on form. And there's some other good songs amongst this lot too, including all the classics from Daiki Kasho and the rest. Superb stuff.

Lastly, all I ask for from the livery editor: are there any good itashas out there yet? Still waiting on the SVGs to be available so people can do them properly, but I'd like to see what people are doing with the current make do and mend approach. Already seen a couple of good'uns.

Enjoying the game a lot, working my way through the Mission Challenges after completing the Driving School (almost all golds), don't think I've bought a car yet as I keep getting gift cars, I have at least one car in every category.

Can you sell gift cars? I have two Peugeot VGT Racing cars.

I did the same thing: I bought precisely one car before completing all of campaign mode: the MX-5.

Of course, I've since blown all my credits on most of the cars I wanted...

You cannot, you can only remove them from the garage.
 
I have a question. My on-screen HUD display has the track display fixed to the top right hand side. Is there any way to move/reposition it (or any other HUD elements) to your own preference or do you have to live with the fixed default positions?
So far I haven't seen any options for repositioning HUD elements is why I'm asking. I usually prefer to have my track display positioned to the top left of the screen to avoid having to look both left and right while racing.
 
Having good fun with this game though i wish we had more choice in sport rn or at least change the daily races up more often.

Did 4 official races at Suzuka today. 3 wins, 1 2nd place, 3 poles and 3 times fastest lap. Had some good fights as well, i think the level of racing is pretty good, at least at the front of the field.
 
So the daily races havent changed since tuesday, right (apart from the car change on Brands Hatch)?

The ideal scenario for me would make the schedule like codemasters do to their Dirt series. They have 2 daily events (changes everyday), 2 weeklies and one monthly.

Imagine if we had 3 real daily events, a weekly one for longer races and another one for Endurance races (45 to 60 minutes long races). Wouldnt that be awesome?

Sport mode is fantastic, but the options we have at the moment are not great. 3 short races for 1 week is horrible.
Horrible man I wanna play online but I'm tired of those tracks !!! And the oval one is a freaking mess to drive in ! We deserve better !
 
Did my first ranked races today
first time 7th and then 3 times 4th
waiting for my first win, no more slower drivers ahead of you

Use the GT3 Subaru racing softs on front and mediums on rear. Pit at the end of lap 12 get fresh racing softs and refuel for 9.7ish laps. You need to put in between position 1-4 and exit within those positions aswell ideally. It is a tough race.
 
Never been into game photos before but the scapes are impressive indeed, so much so that I’ve blown all the money I’ve earned so far in the Ferrari dealership :lol:

Not sure how you guys mange to download the photos though, they’re stuck on my PS4 at the moment
 
Head into your library, hit triangle on any image, and select export to USB (and, er, have one plugged in). Best way to get the highest-quality images. 👍

Ahh cheers, not much use though as I don’t have a USB, or PC or laptop either, just a iPhone and iPad :lol:
