My opinions of the cars before driving them:
DB11: I am not as big a fan of the DB11 as I am of older Astons, but a nice addition nevertheless.
E30: By a long way my Favourite Car in the pack. The E30 is truly one of my favourite cars ever made. The fact that it is also a Sport Evo just makes it so much better. Definitely going to be buying this.
Mach 40: Eh, I would've preferred a normal '69-70 Mustang.
GT40: Another one of my favourite cars of all time, Although I won't be buying it at least not initially because of the fact that it is quite pricey.
Red Bulls: Never really cared for these in GT6, Don't care for them here.
Super GT: Oh hey, a new Class! That is always a good thing although I don't really have any opinions on the cars themselves as I don't follow Super GT.
RC F GT3: It's another GT3/Gr.3 Car. Honestly couldn't care less.
FC RX-7: My favourite Generation of RX-7, A good addition, especially with the track that has been added with this update.
The Non-racing GT-Rs: I'll lump these together as I don't really care for either. I never liked the R35, and the R33 is okay I guess.
 
Any one driven the E30 BMW M3 yet, cant wait for all the classic race car liverys too, Bastos, Fina, DTM, BTCC too many infact!

please post videos

Yeah it handles like crap with the stock setup. And I was always lead to believe that BMW's were the ultimate driving machine.

Yeah, just update the SGT thread with prices and driver choices. Also with race conditions and AI.
 
I'm very happy with this update, new events in existing GT League, like Professsional League-Midship Challenge, a new track, and new races in GT League:), bought all the new cars, except the Red Bull X2014 Standard, it dosen't look like i need it in the GT League yet, so i don't need to spend 3 mill on it just yet, the rest of the cars costs 7,003,800 credits.
And a new GT3 endurance race as well :D, 25 laps on Mount Panorama 👍.

Well I'm also in the same boat as a few people here, No menu music, stuck at 0% yet can still save to servers, Well done PD what you giveth with one hand you taketh with the other :banghead:
 
Well you will be maybe be disappointed then. The car is more about memories and status. It is just an icon which needs to be in every game. The liveries will go wild on this one. It is nostalgia. Not the best driving car in 2018.

I don't care. I'm not expecting it to be such a car that can go toe-to-toe with modern cars. Hell, in the 1.13 update, out of all the cars it was the DeTomaso Pantera that I was hyped for the most.
 
BoP Adjustments: https://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/gtsport/news/00_3053440.html

They finally fixed the Alfa 4C Gr.4! And nerfed the M6 a bit.
Lots of good desicions, but why does the AMG GT3 get less power? The car is good because it is stable, rather easy on tires and has an ok fuel consumption. I never thought that it is overpowered.

The Gr. 4 Evo will work even better now on tight courses.

Gr. 3 Subaru and Corvette weren't bad at all except for the Subaru's lack of top speed. Gonna use both of them a lot, I guess.
 
Re: new penalty rules.

 - No penalties for collisions will be applied while a Time Penalty is counting down. (*In a future update, we plan to make cars under such condition semi-transparent);

If I read it right, you can smash cars serving penalties and neither car gets penalised?

Hmmm
 
Why have to wait a month? That's a month of Sport mode where people have to flail around not knowing the track well, which will impact SR.

For the love of god! There are plenty of ways to learn a track that aren’t circuit experience. Do a time trial, do some offline races... smh :banghead:
