[Scuderia Paul]

Did anyone else get this?

Get what?

EDIT
The update notification? Sorry, but I just saw it mentioned in another thread.

New maintenance notice: https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gtsport/news/00_1113898.html

Apparently, a new update (patching bugs, I guess) will be released tomorrow

 

[05XR8]

Isn't a "game update" more than fixes?

 

[Kano Manel]

Silverstone is a glaring omission

Isn't Silverstone too flat and too long and perhaps not really exciting? One could argue that Spa is much more interesting. Although that would require FIA approval.

Sounds like Monza.

Anyway, wasn't Silverstone a Finals track for GT Academy? Plenty of GT and Touring Car racing at Silverstone. Would make a good Sport Mode track.

Here's hoping this patch fixes the glitchy rolling starts...

They did say they'll have it fixed in the next update and this is it so you'd expect it to be fixed

 

[TTM]

Hopefully it also fixes the random disconnects and the blue screens - or at least help to some degree.

If looking at FIA approved ones, here is the list.

No December speculation thread yet? Standards are slipping.

Late November thread surely....

 

[Mirror_man]

No speculation anymore...

It still consider "hotfix" not some big update that includes car and track so there's still have some room for speculation

If looking at FIA approved ones, here is the list.

Real world FIA grades have nothing to do with whether or not the tracks are FIA certified for GT6 or GTS. FIA certification it's about how accurately the tracks are recreated in GT. FIA grades are about safety and facilities to determine the types of racing that are suitable.

FIA Grade 1 and 2 circuits tend to be more famous and are more likely for inclusion.

Places like Daytona and Willow Springs don't even get graded. However, Willow Springs is in the game, and because of it's past inclusion, and the significance of the 24 Hours of Daytona, I would still include Daytona on the list of possible circuits to be added to GTS at some point even without the GT5/6 era NASCAR connection.

Is the Cobra N500?

 

[Cerebral303]

Yeah, Cobra is N500 but at the USA Repechage they had Raptors tuned at N500, though they are usually N400 so possibly it could be a tuned up N400 or detuned N600.

Ah, ok. Shame PD can't think outside the box and put "sensible" cars on the grid.

Anything in GT Sport is fair game as long as it’s a one-make. It’s pretty “outside the box” too to have a Ford truck in the FIA finals.

 

[Cerebral303]

I was sceptical when I saw the Raptors at Willow listed, but those are two of the best races I have seen. I hope it becomes a tradition for the USA heats each year - having almost every player in contention for a large part of the race made it incredibly exciting, and dare I say fair?

 

[iCyCo]

That Raptor race around Willow Springs was some real good racing, pack was close for almost entire race. Few mistakes were made but that's to be expected when competitors were that close for so long

 

[simsimsheree]

I'm actually a big fan of Willow Springs... Very few diving and ramming opportunities, and basically zero recovery chance from going outside the track limits! Got off track at Willow, you aren't coming back on for a while!

The Big Willow is one of those tracks that teaches you something every time you race in there. Not surprised if it didn't fit in any FIA standard. Half a second late in brakes and you can end in Los Angeles (and half of the spectators with you).

It doesn’t fit because it’s a test track

Ferrari F50 Confirmed!

Sadly this also confirms that the TBD track is just a new layout for Tokyo Expressway, so we can stop speculating for the next November/December update.
