Got the download done before getting set for work. Looking forward to running Monza when I get home. I figure we'll be running it at some point on Sat.

Thanks Luiz! Monza!!! Yay, one new track on the way, plus 6 additional Maggiore layouts. The cars look great too. Good things take time, so it’s a start.

Hope the McLaren F1 accepts dirt tires!

Well,, I've looked thru the game, every option I could try at the PS Store, cannot find the add on, all I'm finding is buy the entire game again (ain't gonna do it),, surely I'm missing something.... Other than 4 cars - P-330, GT40, FT-1, McClaren, the rest are kinda worthless as far as I can see. They've been in at least the last 3, maybe 4 editions of GT, I drove them maybe twice and never drove them again. Anyway, I'm think'n I'm missing something somewhere. The tracks,, now THOSE do interest me. Drove one in the DR this morning and it was OK, hopefully we'll be seeing the others they're talking about soon.

Any news from @pmallard ?

 

[Daduce1947]

The add on is free & should be downloading as soon as you log on. The cars are all in their respective dealerships & the new races in GT league are there. Anything that's been added to the game has a red dot & "new". Kinda like GT6 when they changed the Quick matches.

Thanks Papa,, I'll look more closely..

Any news from @pmallard ?

I'm just about ready to log in for a couple Daily races,, perhaps he's on checking for a car for tomorrow's Geezer Races.

Yes Luiz I logged in, found I needed the update, went to sleep. I don't think much of the new cars I tried so we use the group X Mercedes AMG Race edition Tires to be decided R hard or soft?

 

[oldphart]

"Are we there yet ?"
aside from the fact I'm here doing the same thing

[SteveBeech12]

Great racing tonight fellers

 

[nordschleife51]

Bad day at the races today because the "auto-drive" bug bit me.

That sucks Papa. At least a competent Auto Driver could show up, but alas it’s more like the pathetic AI pilots in the game. There’s always tomorrow. 👍

Check this out! Incredible rig for sim racing. And a nicely narrated demonstration lap at Daytona 24 Hour circuit by Patrick Long.

I can't access GTS on my main account which has PS Plus, but I can access GTS on my other 2 accounts which don't have PS Plus.

Very strange.

It was a strange morning indeed. When I was trying to get the room open for this morning’s festivities, I noticed my friends list wasn’t available. Couldn’t establish a party, but we could exchange messages on the PS4. About 8:35 AM, we were able to get the group into a room, and everything seemed to be back. We had a bunch of good races at the new Maggiore layouts with no issues, except that you couldn’t join. Around 10:00 AM I noticed Pepper come online so after that race I went to see if he was on and again my friends list was blank. So the PSN issues continued but we were never bounced from the lobby. Strange.
