When GT7 comes out there will be about a month before the servers are shut down if previous games are an indication.
Then everything you did in this game livery wise is gone and there will be no match making

Most likely some thing will go over to GT7 like the game livery's you made, but who knows what going to happen.

We didn't hit an iceberg, no need to jump ship, we ain't sinking, there it's still more racing to have fun with...

That's just me. I'm looking forward to the CLK-GTLM and 155 V6 DTM. Can't drive them yet, but it won't be that long even if the game is delayed.
I'm not really into FIA Manu and been bidding my time until GT7 confirmation. Dailies are hit and miss for me. As many times as I've restarted the game, there's not much ealse I can do for my own enjoyment. Plus, I've got ACC, AC, PC2/3(for the 400Z race car) and still play GTAV. Totally stuck in the GT7 threads now. 👍
 
Well there is some time before the burial, even if GT7 is released in march as they say... There is no way I'll be able to get all trophies before that 😅

A month? Boy they really want to piss the customer off. Was going to wait a bit before getting GT7, you know till it's not full price or maybe a deal is on. But if the servers for this shut down that quickly the reviews better be as good as some expect or I'll probably go back to the older better games.

@RacingGrandpa it looks like anyone who made a nice Livery in GTS, will have to do it again for GT7 on the same car, they had for GTS.

That's the most likely outcome yes. I'm ok with that, but I wish they will move over the decal database.

I can't say for sure, it might be 6 months or even a year but it will happen for sure

When GT7 comes out are you going to Delete Gran Turismo Sport from your console ?. I am going to do it once the new game because there is nothing to do in this game anymore.
Click to expand...
I probably will because my ps4 doesnt have space for new games and gt sport takes up most of it. Once im done getting all golds in the campaign mode I’ll probably keep it to offline/ arcade/VR playing
 
I do hope that they will release an update for Gran Turismo Sport when the game reaches end-of-life status that will allow all features of the game to become accessible and progress can be saved while offline. I have a lot of replays saved, memories of great racing experiences I've had from Sport Mode which cannot be viewed unless the game is connected to the servers; the Library, Brand Central, and a myriad of other features are locked up until the game is able to talk to the servers.

Maybe when all of the FIA seasons for the game are said and done, and Gran Turismo 7 approaches its expected release, they can throw this game a bone and allow all content to become accessible while offline, since PoDi has nothing to worry about in terms of cheating, modifications or any other complications when the servers finally go down/are repurposed for the new game. If not, then I'm not too keen on embracing games-as-a-service as a whole. I can still view my replays saved in Gran Turismo 6, 5, and even 5 Prologue. I'd like to be able to do so with Gran Turismo Sport as well, especially considering my involvement with racing online in this game moreso than the previous three titles.
 
There is a leak from GeForce Now where it seams that GT7 will be available on PC. I highly doubt that but who knows... I will not need to buy a PS5 then ☺️ (but I'll still need to find a damn GPU)

Quick question.

Does your DR or SR drop if you don’t race for a while?

If so, does anyone know how long would it take?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT

RacingGrandpa……thank you.

Hello gt planet community. Iam not exactly new to gt (played gt1 and gt2) I would like to have people to play with while I practice doing my license tests. It’s great to be back and hope to meet some of you.

I am excited for GT7

Just send me a friend request to fordlaser777 my friend, and I am also excited about GT7 🙂.

And welcome to :gtpflag:.
 
Is there a commonly understood code of etiquette in GT Sport races? And does it follow real-world motor racing?

For eg, I just watched Tidgney’s weekly track guide, where he complains about a driver bumping him while Tidgney was edging the other driver on the inside round a corner - the implication being the other driver should have given up the inside line. But, as I understand it, in motorsport the driver with wheels in front is entitled to hold the racing line, even if it means the undertaking driver is pushed off track. So, as I would understand it, Tidgney should have either driven off track or pulled behind the leading driver to allow him the racing line round the corner.

Tidgney presumably knows a lot about GT rules (written and unwritten), so it seems unlikely he would get this wrong.
 
I've always heard that you must leave space if a car is on your side, wether it has only his front wheel or bumper or more.

But I don't know how it works in real world racing.

The only rules are what PD presents in 'racing etiquette' which surmounts to 'Don't make yourself look bad.'
Not everybody who plays the game knows the rules of racing, so it is down to the individual to race how they see fit to race.

I don't remember this incident, can you timestamp it for me?

Around 2 mins 27. It’s the Norwegian driver that goes on to try to ram him off the road and drive like a general idiot.
But that incident, Tidgney let’s him off for not noticing him, but as the car with the nose ahead, I’d have thought the Norwegian guy had every right to come into the apex and Tidgney should have pulled back or moved off track.

For reference, Scott Mansell talks about the very similar situation between Verstappen and Hamilton recently:

I have heard on many occasions and somewhat believe that rules in real racing don't always move over to SIM racing. Often you hear "rubbin is racing" - it seems to be prevalent in NASCAR and some do it in SIM racing but some also believe that this is bad racing. @Tidgney has even said in one of his videos that dive bombing is not always bad, sometimes it is an acceptable move. I guess it all comes down to what do you feel comfortable doing in order to race online.

I say - enjoy your racing how you want to.

Ah right, that incident. I think the movement from the Norwegian half way around that corner was excessive. They had understeered wide through the corner. Either they were steering too much and when the tyres bit and the grip came back they were already steering too far right and came across Tidge. The other option is that they were purposely trying to nudge Tidge off. Either way the left kink is approaching and turning right in that manner is not the best way to take it in that situation. @Tidgney did nothing wrong. He was finding space whilst keeping as much momentum as possible. I'm sure expecting the Norwegian to come across like that was low in his expectations at the time.

The problem is that this game covers a lot of aspects of racing. Some classes like Gr4 might expect a bit of contact a la touring cars but Super Formula for example wouldn't. You touch in Super Formula and you'll end up in the barriers most of the time. But on this game stuffing it up the inside with loads of contact does nothing and the cars are fine. A divebomb isn't dirty and you see it lots of the time in racing, even F1. With control and no contact it is a valid move and when poorly executed then punishment usually follows. However a lot of divebombs on this game are different. They are aimed from too far back, too late and usually at the side of the preceding car.

I've never had a problem with rubbing. I've been in some races where me and another racer were side by side, our cars hitting each other, but neither of us slowed down or ran off the track or spun out or anything like that. Where I have a problem is when rubbing turns into hitting and knocking one off their line or off the track. Banging doors isn't a bad thing. Cars are going around a circuit at over 100+mph; it's bound to happen. But don't slam into someone to knock them off their line or send them flying off the track. That's a d!@# move.

And I'm not one to retaliate (it just makes you look petty and will cause you more trouble than it's worth, in the end). But I can understand those who do. Things get heated, even in a video game. And I think it's that it's because it's a video game that some people drive the way they do. There's no real-world consequence for their actions. Sure they can get suspended. But do they lose money? A driver doing that in an actual, real-world race can be suspended, fined, and or fired from the team. They can lose actual money due to their behavior.

Have you watched the Tidgneys rule´s of racing vid? It´l give some point of views how the sim racing differentiates of the real world.
While I understand what you mean, and I also like to race according to the real life corner rules, there is a lot of players that has no clue about the rules.
That in mind, I say race smarter, not harder :lol:

So give space when in front, even if in real life you would have the apex rights, live to battle to the end of the race. :cheers:

Haven’t see that one but will give it a view? I’m not like a stickler for rules tbh. As long as people generally try to race clean.

Christ knows, it’s hard enough to get people to stop divebombing and ramming you off the road. We’re quite some way away from worrying about the correct application of etiquette in grey areas. I was more just wondering for myself what I should be doing in that scenario.

It's an interesting one with the first point at the hairpin, and I'd actually argue for the most part you're right in that they were always coming back that way but to me, the turn was extreme and I'd have expected a car there if I was them going that deep. But I didn't have a massive problem with the hairpin bit mainly because carnage had just happened already and in general its Race A :P! But yes I'd agree with you for the most part with the hairpin.

My main problem is the turning right afterwards but you can see throughout the video they genuinely have a "don't care approach" about any drivers they race with, with a laps later them going off at the same point which I would assume quite confidently was another take out. You can quite quickly get a sense of somebody early on.
