Gran Turismo Sport: General Discussion

[PettyWingman]

If Lotus is back to Gran Turismo SPORT, maybe we'll have those cars, at least from the previous GT games (in my opinion):

• Elise '96
• Elise 111R '04
• Elise '11
• Esprit V8 '02
• Europa Special '72
• Evora '09

What happened to Pikes Peak? They have the license yet they never used it for the last 3-4 years.

Just completed all the Mission Challenges. Pikes Peak is acknowledged in the end credit movie. Is it still to come? I don't know.

GT Sport should have a 60's equivalent of their Formula GT.

They are getting good mileage out of the F1500T because it is so versatile when combined with the livery editor.

They should also bring back the Formula GT '04 as well. For me, cars like the W08 are a total waste of effort when you can't even add liveries to them.

Something tells that when the LCC Rocket is added, we'll see a 50s/60s F1 livery flood.

I just wish it wasn't heinously ugly. It looks like someone tried to make a 250F out of play-dough.

So someone spotted the PD logo somewhere at Oulton Park...

Full pic, for anyone interested:

 

[queleuleu]

Probably means no new GT in the next 12 months.

 

[dimassa19]

Probably means no new GT in the next 12 months.

Does that mean will not have The Last Of Us 2, Death Stranding or Ghost Of Tsushima? It's a bit strange, don't you think?

That tweet says 'no next-generation Playstation launch'. It doesn't say anything about PS4 Games

When you come home and not expecting this to wait for you! My lady and parents told me the shifter was free during a sale! (Early Bday present)

I'm assuming that they secured the license before their decision to make the game focused on FIA closed track circuits. Even the expected Goodwood track update doesn't seem to be including the Goodwood hillclimb course. So they might be saving it for the next normal GT game since it doesn't really fit the GT Sport format.

I hope I'm wrong though since I'd love to drive Pike's.

Something like this?

When PD figures out what they want to do with rally in gt sport Pikes Peak will come.

It's paved now. Just run as a tarmac TT.

Tarmac rallies exist, you know.

After constant fiddling with it, I finally managed to make the AE86 enjoyable to drive on most of tracks(from Tsukuba to Nordeschleife) and I noticed something very interesting with it:

IT DOESN'T HAVE A REV LIMITER ON 5TH GEAR IF YOU KEEP THE FACTORY TRANSMISSION.

This is great for me as I only race in first person view, and with the stock transmission there's no straight-cut whine, even after maxing out power and reducing weight, the car has lots of of power until it gets up to 210km/h, after that there's no rev cutting but you will notice the power output sharply declining and the car losing acceleration...It maxes at about 214km/h on the flat road of SSRX and it gets to about about 220km/h on the downhill..But it doesn't bounce at all!

(Unless someone rams you from behind and pushes you over the 220km/h mark)

PD should take whatever they did with the AE86 ratios and apply it to the muscle cars because the Mach 1 and Challenger are laughably slow on straights thanks to the Rev limiter cutting their engine power suddenly.

They did, many updates ago now.

Okay now, wtf? I just went and checked it out and you're right!

Have I been sleeping under a rock? Since when have they changed this??

1.29 update, it's not in the actual patch notes, but I do remember that being changed when the Jaguar E-Type was introduced to the game.

1.32 actually.
It was introduced with SSRX.

I know this. There are is no tarmac rally in GT Sport.

Alright. That actually makes more sense. Yet, still not mentioned in the official patch notes, the one place PD always comes up short.

 

[SUPRASTAR0003]

The death chicane at Dragon Trail Seaside always reminds me of the chicane on SSR11 in GT1. Both can be tricky. Coincidence? Is this PD's tribute to the chicane at SSR11?

I'm watching the Pirelli GT4 America race. I gotta commend PD for giving us a hose of GT4/Gr.4 cars in this game. While I'm sure most of us players want the real GT4 cars, for PD to make it their business that this category is covered, I raise a glass.

I'm not much of a fan for the McLaren Gr.4, but having seen it do really well at the start of the 2019 GT4 European season, I started to use it in my Custom Races. I did use it twice, once each in two Daily Race weeks.
PD really did have a vision of this group because they debuted cars that weren't out in the real world yet. At the same time, cars like the Evo(has stopped racing) & WRX and RC F, are similar to the Super Taikyu racers. In the case of the RC F, the V6 not the V8, races as the RC350 in S-Tai. Hope to see more in the next game.

TCR is the big thing now and though we don't have them(yet), PD saw fit to include a few FF machines. I think PD's Gr.4 roster, is the largest GT4 type category, in a console game.

 

[GTV0819]

I know this. There are is no tarmac rally in GT Sport.

That's kinda sad to hear but it's not that surprising anymore lol.

 

[TonyJZX]

There is tarmac rally... its just Group B cars running on standard sealed tracks like normal cars.

Who remembers the gold standard racing that is Group B on Tokyo Express (yes I know its strange even in print).

 

[ntanygd760]

I think it fell into the forsaken hole just like the Hyundai Veloster back from 2012.

Hopefully no Veloster because they are working on the Veloster N

According to this tweet (on 2013/05/16), SLS AMG GT3, E 63 AMG, and A 45 AMG were planned to be included in GT6.
You know, SLS AMG GT3 had been available in GT6 just as they planned, but A 45 AMG reached that world with a long delay...
What about the E 63 AMG? I've asked Mercedes-Benz on Twitter, and a few hours later, I got an answer from them...

What's the real meaning of these words? It will really be coming or it never comes...?
