So if theyve removed Arcade mode, does that mean there's nothing to do in the beta until the roughly 3 or 4 hours of online races are scheduled for the day?
 
Updated the OP in the News section.

Seriously excited to see Porsche and new tracks come along. These new fictional courses look stunning.
 
For some reason it looks to me as if the crane in one of the Dragon Trail Screenshots is infinitely tall

No, you can qualify for the next day's races as soon as they go up. That normally happens as the last races for the day wrap up, so you have something like 22 hours to qualify for tomorrow's events.
 
I'm very happy for Porsche to finally be in GT. There was a legitimate reason they weren't in the game before, but it's no longer the case so I did expect it. PD is on time here if anything. My excitement is tempered quite a bit though by how this game works. There are a few different reasons.
Sorry if I sound rude, but why did you quote me? I wasn't talking about how the cars drive and rather just speculated on what Porsche models are going to be in the series.

Good point. You were talking about all of these different models of Porsche we might get to enjoy, and all I could think about was "they will all be the same." Pardon the rambling.
 
Just wake up this morning and decided to go to GTP forums and shocked by lots of new stuff coming. Finally GT have Porsche after years of waiting and new tracks looks decent, even it is not classic tracks from previous GT series, it looks good imo. Enjoy this moment guys, hope you happy for this update! (me too, I even jumped out from my bed lol)
 
Porsche eh? All I can say right now is

Haha, never thought I'd come across a post of Mauro on GTPlanet! Apparently he's not very happy with his WWE contract, maybe he'll go over to RIZIN, Bellator or even the UFC? Now that would be sweet lol.

Anyway, to keep it on topic, yes, also me! Kind of surreal seeing Porsche in the game, I'm almost drooling thinking about photo mode with them, and scapes. I can't wait to drive one!
 
So....

Sport mode is global, correct?
Quick question.
With the EU and US daily race time periods separated by 7 hours, will those involved in the beta have access to both sets of events?

Staying slightly off-topic, I now get the UFC in your username haha (big fan here too)...

ANYWAY, Porsche scapes are amazing, news dump is awesome, can't wait for the (surely imminent) release!
 
I still don't see any night racing or weather, has that been ditched, I wonder, or is it still in development. Also, can anyone who's playing the Beta say if all cars are unlocked from the start on Arcade?
 
They definitely improved the sound I can hear cracking and burble all through the interior view, last time I could only hear them in bumber cam. Good Job PD now lets get the road cars making chassis noise!
 
I just wanted to share this here, I’m sure things will be improved… But after the update last night I was only able to get into one race (oval) and I don’t race ovals but you have to get in where you can with this BETA. If you watch the video around the 1:28 mark a car spins on track and I collided with him, that sent me sailing and ultimately disqualified me because I couldn’t get back in the action quick enough. I’m not too bothered by this, I don’t like circle racing and the SR rating needs refinement anyhow. Take it for what it is…

We don't know yet, and I don't think we WILL know until this weekend when the first EU races go on the schedule. I hope both, but my guess is separate. And that would be a shame, PD should pay attention to how many folks race together across regions here.

You earn a car each day by driving a marathon (26 miles).

Cars are awarded at random.

I believe, but do not recall for sure, that you get one from each of the three classes being used out of the gate.

Haha, yeah I love MMA, I'm very much a hardcore fan I think.

And yes, they look sooooo good! I've always loved taking photos in GT, and while it would be simply amazing to move the camera around in Scapes, that's impossible, but I'm more than happy with the current implementation of Scapes. To be honest I don't think the lack of being able to move the camera will really bother me once I get stuck in haha.
 
I have no idea how to search through this whole discussion, therefore I apologise if this is a repeated question. I just saw a replay of a race, and there was this SR that popped up now and then with a arrow pointing up or down. What is this SR?

SR is Sportsmanship Rating. Every time you go off track, hit a wall, or crash another player, SR is deducted, and you earn SR by driving clean. I've not seen any SR deduction for crashing players yet, so imo it's a bit flawed as of right now.

The purpose is to match you with players that actually want to race cleanly.

Your video opens also bit how SR is added/reduced one sector later, meaning if you hit something on half of sector 1 it won't come in to play until end of sector 2, always one sector behind, probably taking in count "what happens after hit" before judging it on your SR.

Similar to what SR is for iRacing then?
 
Hmmm SR needs more tuning to where everything is balanced and fair and NOT half assed cut and paste. Let's Hope PD understands they shouldn't take everything for granted:bowdown::cheers:

I would love it if this was the case because I won't be able to play during the race times listed for the EU. It's far too early in the morning for me.
