Gran Turismo Sport Will Get Formula E Cars According to Kazunori Yamauchi

[Leggacy]

Motorsport will be dead to me at that point, I'm sure it will be for many others too.

Hey, I just like things that go fast, I don’t care about noise. Weather you like it or not the internal combustion engine is somewhat of a museum piece now. Let’s go forward not backwards

Thumbs up to Formula E. Thumbs down to street circuits.

 

[SimTourist]

Always 5 years behind schedule.

 

[danimac]

Yeah some classic tight circuits would be most welcome.
My favourite being Tokyo R246, reverse was my fav direction.
New York, Paris day or night, Seoul. Really loving the new South outter and inner loop Tokyo express way, lots of fun.

I take offence to the author of this article calling the current car great looking. It has a Halo, therefore it is disqualified from being a good looker. I do not look forward to this rush job 'safety' solution infecting GT Sport and refuse to drive such a car under any circumstance.

A shame really as I otherwise would've bought into what Formula E was trying to do and given it another chance. If not for bad stewarding in the inaugural season I might not have even lost interest in the series to begin with.

 

[Traks1]

Still, PD should get the sound of them right enough (such as it is). Been modelling hoover sounds for ever int they?

 

[dimassa19]

Or to go one better, they should recreate one of those tracks in real life for Formula E. I mean, that R246 area in Akasaka is mostly suitable park land. It's not the worst idea ever.

...And look, Nissan is entering the category...

Looking at the "attack mode" video that was posted by the Formula E Channel on YouTube I noticed that the style and execution of the video was very similar to the ones we're used to see by PD. Have a look yourselves:

Never saw a Motorsport category try so much to look like a videogame

I followed the series for a couple of seasons but have since lost interest. Not too thrilled about the introduction of the attack mode thing. Feels too much like Mario Kart.
That being said, it would be super cool if this car is coming to the game because the cars look interesting to drive.

 

[juanffy18]

i admit. i´m not interest in this category at all, but they need proper street circuits, so this is the huge point

I think they will try to add some Mario Kart Barrels in the future,go over this point of the track to pick a weapon.The weapon could be a EMP that would lower the power of the car in front

I think I read somewhere that something like that was actually being considered.

 

[VincentVendetta]

Please put the Montreal Street Circuit in there, please!

Reasonably efficient electric cars are much closer to being a fantasy than the internal combustion engine is to a museum piece by a fairly wide margin.

 

[Calmlity]

I prefer WRC cars.

I quite regularly see electric cars on the road, there are charging points where I work. Am I living in a fantasy world?

 

[Brzlav]

I don't care about the series on TV (let's see whether this changes with the new cars), but I'd be willing to bet that racing the cars online in GTS should be a blast. Looking forward to it.

Is it the Fan Boost?In that case the fan boost doesn't take away power it gives power to the car you choose.

 

[veryferry]

The only reason PD should do this is because they can finally have the sound correct this way.

They had the Formula E sound back in GT4 lol

No. Like they run over a section of track, and they can "shoot" a "weapon" at an opponent that would limit the power another car temporarily. I gotta go see if I can find where I read this.

 

[Moby45]

Sweet, more cars I won't ever drive. Lol

 

[Veinz]

Very cool, just leave the crappy little street tracks out.

Great choice to add Formula E cars then. Maybe this would result in a new car class, which would be likely called "Gr. E".

Polyphony should make a re-imagining of these tracks with layouts based on scenic cityscape areas, with them also being friendly for the other classes (like Gr. 1, 2, 3 and 4). Oh and don't forget Hong Kong as well.

Hong Kong, New York, Paris and Seoul are the four big city tracks of Gran Turismo's past. It also won't hurt to add them (knowing that Tokyo Expressway is currently the only city track so far). GT6 also had London, Madrid and Rome as well...

For Hong Kong I want Causeway Bay, Harbour City, Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui as layouts, and as for New York, Times Square, Fifth Avenue, Coney Island and Brooklyn. Paris should have the Arc du Triomphe, Seine, Eiffel Tower and perhaps the Louvre as their layouts but I'm not sure for Seoul though...

Maybe not a fantasy world, but most likely in a fairly privileged and wealthy area. Most people can’t afford the price of an electric car. The technology still isn’t even close to where it needs to be once we start talking about higher performence vehicles as well. Saying an ICE is a museum piece when it makes up 95%+ of the cars on the road today and when it blows electric motors out of the water in terms of performance is a bit ridiculous. Let’s let the technology actually catch up and become equal before we even think about making that claim.

 

[WolfpackS2k]

No thanks to Formula E cars, if I wanted to be bored to sleep I'll just watch the home shopping network.

 

[Auditore]

The Formula E cars could be a alternative to the X2014 Red Bull cars.

 

[GiuliettaQV82]

Really happy about the return of electric cars in GTS, the variety was one of the main strong features of GT4, now they need to give to the game a huge variety of categories. This news with the Porsche challenge give me the hope the game will receive the same treatment of updates in 2019 as the current year. The hope is still high to see new circuits as Montecarlo, Laguna Seca and probably Pikes Peak and Isle of Mans (I read years ago PD had scanned it). Also I hope there will be improvements for offline activities, a better AI and the rain or wet track

 

[Pedinhuh]

Red Bull X2014 needs no alternatives that aren't updated versions, it's a fictional car in a video game.

I mean a alternative for one make races,if the Formula E car controls well it would be a good heavy downforce car choice for a one make daily race instead of the X2014.
