GT Sport Update 1.15 Coming March 29 - BMW E30 M3, Tsukuba, and More

[De_Breuk]

Time Trial is no fun without any leaderbords, even in VR.

 

[Coiler]

Lets hope we can push that m3 to n400 980kg and have fun with classic DTM. Then again if we dont have adjustable aero..

A brick doesn't have aero in the first place

 

[GT Sport]

TSUKUBA yes..
But not 787B.

 

[HarVee]

The amount of Visible polygons is crazy, this looks like GT5 ..

The whole thing is polygons...?

 

[urmie]

I'm happy to see a new track. I am curious to see what times of day/weather it will have. There was never a night version correct? Only a wet one?

Would like to see a weather update in the near future as noted last year.

m3 to n400

umm more like N300 as the DTM S14 engine had 315ish hp

I have lots of fond memories racing around Tsukuba in other games. I'm stoked that it's come to GTS.

 

[Normalaatsra]

I used to have a love-hate relationship with Tsukuba, it's suited for drifting and it can be a nightmare for time trials (GT Championship qualifiers from GT5, never forget). But I have been leaning more towards loving Tsukuba, having much further appreciation for its use in Best Motoring and time attack events.

Also the car list is stellar. I used to think the E30 requests are all blown out of proportion like the requests for GT to add minor US circuits (think of club circuits like Willow Springs but more obscure than Ascari). But you people earned it, and now I wanna drive it too.

Regarding the cycle of new tracks, I'm beginning to think, with tinfoil hat in mind, the courses we see being added are first commonly the easiest to make. Monza is a simple stop'n'go track, and Tsukuba is a tight but short technical course. All have one or two layouts, and were from GT6. Perhaps bare that in mind for next month.

It does a tiny bit if it has a rear spoiler..

I read somewhere it was 385bhp..

Edit: aa yes.. You are right. I was checking some slightly tuned version.

The final ones in 1992 had 380ish hp but I‘d say that was just qualifying spec lasting two laps before blowing up

So 2lap race at Tsukuba it is then..

 

[Ryan Dungey]

So looks like I'll be hot lapping nordschleife in the GT500 cars. Will post videos of my laps as I haven't done one in months so you can compare the speed difference over GT3. My fastest GT3 lap (no tuning) was 6:30 I have a feeling these could hit the sub 6 mark possibly if not the 6:10 area

 

[ynot]

Great, we got a glorified Go-Karting track that’s useless for anything larger than economy cars. At least the cars are good.

You can race anything on this track. I hosted GT500 races on it back on GT5 and GT6.

 

[neddyie118]

Loved watching the old Best Motoring videos when they did races at Tsukuba even though the clips were in Japanese:tup:

 

[sumbrownkid]

I'm really looking forward to getting a go in the GTR GT500. I've wanted to drive that monster since Super GT debuted the 2.0T in 2014. If I'm not mistaken, the 2016 GT500s don't suffer from drag on the straights compared to the 2017 GT500s right?

The 2017 cars are actually 2016 cars with shorter overhang, and a much smaller rear diffuser to go with a wider rear wing. The 2017 car is less draggy but also less potent in cornering. However the times still dropped I think because Engine outputs still increased and aero engineers finding ways to mitigate losses.

Man, this was fun stuff.



No go karts or economy cars here

 

[Macboyilija]

Tsukuba is just brilliant, along with the E30 M3.

Very disappointed to see no new track layouts at Dragon Trail though. Question, how is it actually pronounced? The T is silent, correct?

Yes, it is pronounced as Dragon Rail.

 

[Leggacy]

Let’s not forget we’re getting another “surprise” update on the 9th, that brings the Audi VGT and possibly a new Supra. Or maybe that will be later in the month.

 

[Matvex]

Question,"how is it actually pronounced? The T is silent, correct?"

Yes, it is pronounced as"Dragon Rail."

[badnan]

OK i'm ready for this.

For those who still doubting whether the Fanatec wheel is indeed officially supported, I've got an official tweet to make things clear :

No, that's the locomotive version of the circuit.

 

[usmaan]

how do you guys think the pit animations will work with the red Bull X cars and their wheel covers?

You need a really long straw in that bottle. For immersion purposes.

 

[sparkytooth]

how do you guys think the pit animations will work with the red Bull X cars and their wheel covers?

Now that I think about it, how did they work in GT5 and GT6?

Straight through!

 

[dimassa19]

Straight through!

In the same way as the Jaguar XJR-9.

 

[sparkytooth]

Straight through!

Best pit crew I've ever seen, lightning mcqueen needs these guys.

 

[teebone]
