Copper box was the only venue I made it to at the Paralympics in 2012... Amazing place.
I think I watched blind football, it was the quietest sport I've ever seen.
Hopefully the GT event will be a little different. New sounds through massive speakers
Enjoy, everyone who's going, think of us international plebs while you're there eh!

I would have love to come alas UK is far and tickets are pricey. Plus I have an exam on opening day 
Would have taken some vids for you guys.
Which gives me this idea; is anyone who's attending the event have an Elgato Capture Card with a laptop? I suppose if the officials are willing we could ask them to record some footage.

I'm guessing the Bugatti Vision car is very likely to be there. The rest, hmmmm, not sure. I'm betting on the Mazda LM55 and the Hyundai N 2025 to be there.
I think since the Bugatti and the Volkswagen GTI Roadster (a.k.a. the "Vision GTI") are functioning cars, who knows if anyone is permitted to drive them.

Kazunori's blog post mentions 9 full scale replicas and 2 quarter size ones displayed at the event. Could be Bugatti, Nissan, Hyundai, Chaparral, Mercedes, Infiniti, Alpine, Volkswagen and Aston Martin gathering for the first time.

I think you're about right. We should also be able to guess the quarter size ones as I think there have only been acouple that we're not full size, but I forget which ones . Better get the camera memory cards cleared ready

I'm certainly missing a few existing 1:1 models here and the list is by no mean exhaustive. As for the smaller ones, considering many may have gone through clay modeling and such it could be about any of them. Thinking of it, the sole VGT concept (as a whole) could become the pretext of a full exhibit on it's own.

I would they put Nike One 2022 in GTS ! It could be fun and allows us to recall all our good memories from GT4
Put it in GT7 instead, it'll be current year then.

Actually, on this note of Vision Gran Turismo cars, I'll be interested to see exactly how they're integrated into GT Sport. Since it's a game purportedly focussing on motorsports (hence the good amount of FIA GT3 cars in the first trailer), where will there be room for fictional cars? Fictional cars with a vast gulf in performance between the lower-end MINI Clubman and the LMP1-esque Mazda LM55, as well...
I know Project CARS features some fictional cars, but they're designed to be realistic, plausible, and balanced with the disciplines of motorsport they were created for, like the Marek LMP1/LMP2 cars, the karts, the Caper Monterey stock car... the Vision Gran Turismo cars certainly don't seem to be correspond with any real world regulations, and some of them are so insanely fast they aren't remotely feasible as cars at all, let alone cars designed to fit in with real-world racing.

Each GTP ticket admits 2 adults. I'm sure anyone here who missed out could just come along if there is a meetup beforehand. 👍Damnit, I live so close to the Olympic Park (as in I work there) but caught wind of this too late.
I shall be watching with a close eye...
@Formidable the thread title needs editing since tickets are now sold out.

That's what slightly concerns me. You can select a car list designed to create competitive racing within different series and disciplines (in the manner of Project CARS), but including such willfully and obviously unrealistic cars like some of the Vision Gran Turismo cars may very well throw that list off balance. I get what you're saying, you can debate and question whether you would want a Veneno, an AMG GT S, and a GT-R in the same race series, or whether they all fit a specified set of regulations in-game, but I think when it concerns real world race series, you would have to respect those regulations to arguably be truly simulating them. Sure, an LM55 would probably suit an LMP1 race, but it is simply not an LMP1 car. It doesn't exist, and it wouldn't be allowed to compete in LMP1 even if it did, on account of its shape, drivetrain (4WD), and engine configuration (rotary). The Toyota FT-1 Vision GT car is not a Super GT or GT3 car, even if it might provide a good race with those categories.

They wouldn't all have to be real racing series with real classes. I think there is a risk of reading too much into the FIA collaboration. Sure, some events may be based on real FIA series with real FIA classes and regulations, but I don't think the game would be exclusively about that. The way I understood it so far is that the focus lies on e-sports rather than real motorsports. Rather than Gran Turismo turning into something like Project Cars, my understanding is that this is Gran Turismo turning into an e-sports platform. I haven't seen anything so far that suggests that GT Sport would be all about real racing series and real regulations, in fact I would be rather surprised if that turned out to be the case.

PD can always change the specs of VGT cars in GTS, they may be nerfed to more realistic performance with the manufacturer permission for racing event.

Sure they can. But can they change the aero? Nope. Many series have limitations in aero, don't they? Like Nascar, if the shell is even 0.5% different than the regulations they have to change the whole thing
