GT Sport Update 1.22 Discussion Thread

[TonyJZX]

I find it strange how tiny outfits like PCARS2 and Assetto Corsa can afford Spa but not PD? Doesnt make sense does it?

I suspect Spa is already in the DLC pipeline for GTS... its just a matter of time... hell I reckon it'll be out this year, hopefully before Xmas. Its just inconceivable that everyone has it but PD...

 

[WhiteFlight1]

Hopefully this track can be like old Spa.

 

[MMX]

Every discussion turns into a I want Spa, where's Spa.

Spa sucks.

I want more fantasy tracks, most real ones are boring.

 

[TS050]

Yeah, I’m totally confused at the appeal when y’all really just want to drive up Eau Rouge a couple times before you beg for more tracks

The dlc of whining provides spa until it is released, subsequently will touch to the laguna seca ... and so on

I like Spa! It's always one of my favourite tracks in F1 games, I'd certainly like to see it in GT Sport.

 

[Auditore]

I don't know why all the hype for SPA,always thought it was a bad track

I want Sebring but hey ho lol

 

[Crazy Taylor]

I'm still all in for Rainbow Road to be added or Bowsers Castle 3.

 

[MXR_Sparky]

Or Road Atlanta, even “The Bend” in Australia looks decent.

Startling hot take here.

The only thing bad about Spa will be the inevitable 1st corner tragedies to your driver ratings...

 

[GTWelsh]

Anglesey race track would be brilliant, however no games ever have it! Reminds me of Tsukuba, only in Wales!

Lotus and Bentley (the GT3 model) are both in Forza and Project Cars. I don't think it works that way.

Spa 24 Hours???? Say whaaaa, Spa is mega though I still would rather have Sebring with a DPi

Why do you think Spa is a bad track?

It has just about everything, including, but not limited to: slow hairpin, chicane, elevation change, high speed double apex, flowing corners, long straight, heavy braking zone, and multiple areas for overtaking.

Professional drivers often cite it as a favorite and one of the best tracks in the world. It's challenging in the dry and diabolical in the wet.

I'm sincerely curious why people don't like this track. I understand it's annoying for people like myself to constantly ask for it, but that's no fault of the track. The criticisms I've read are statements like, "I just don't like it" or "Overrated" with no explanation.

Back then SPA was even better, the new shicane infront of the finish straight just killed the flow of that track - for me is SPA and Imola one of the best tracks made.

Edit: Ohhhh and of course the Red Bull Circuit in Austria.... haha

 

[Downhill Dino]

The chicanes kill that track for me. Don't get me wrong, I like the track but it's probably near the bottom on the list of tracks I'd want to see.

Also Pouhon. Hate that corner.

Spa isn't that interesting to drive on.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

^^ This is BLASPHEMY!!! LOL...All joking aside, I think you should elaborate on that comment. Just saying its is a bad track is not enough!

SPA has just about everything a "complete" track should have. Long straights, tight hairpins, sweeping corners and most of all plenty of places to overtake...ooh and don't get me started on Eau Rouge. One downfall (depending on how you look at it) I'd say is maybe the length of the track but then again, the Nurb is a lot longer, a long bumpier, a lot more technical and most racing fans are crazy about it.

 

[Haitauer]

OMG they're going to include a Road going around the entire Coast of France !!

Can not confirm that, as the east side of France is a land border - not a coast..

 

[rocky1993]

let's see when the next video comes

My plan does not work out every 3 days

Fair enough that chicanes disrupt the flow of tracks, but they are a different type of challenge where lap time can be greatly affected and provide overtaking opportunities. Suzuka is another fantastic track with a chicane, racing history wouldn't be the same without it.

Do you hate Pouhon because it's difficult?

I'm going to file that loquacious critique in the "I just don't like it" category.

 

[Grandea GTR]

Not sure how it's "loquacious."

It's not that I just don't like it, I just see nothing really that special going on with the track. It's got history, yeah, but that alone doesn't sell a track being fun or not for me.

Kind of. I'm not a fan of double corners or what some call the 'Tilke Corner'. I know he didn't do Spa but you get the idea. Does Pouhon count the following corner? I'm not sure.

 

[NevilleNobody]

Honestly this is preposterous, I cannot fathom how anyone can say that. It's a superb race track, as is Road America, both are sorely missing in this game.

I was joking, because no one ever gives a critique detailing why they don't like Spa. Different tracks speak to different people, I get it, but sometimes I just think people don't like it because it's difficult to master and can be frustrating to learn.

Pouhon is the double apex left. I like double and triple apex corners, so much fun to get right and so painful to get wrong.

Tilke uses a lot of (what I'll I kindly refer to as) "inspiration" from other tracks. Look at COTA for example, very cool track, but definitely a Frankentrack.

Tilke didn't design the layout of COTA, Tavo Hellmund and someone else whose name is escaping me right now did. He only took their design and turned it into a racetrack.

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Hopefully they add more French cars too like the new Mégane RS and also first one to compete against the other Méganes. For the Méganists, they could throw in a 2CV for them.

 

[isamu]

Hopefully the new track is either Dundrod, Isle of Man T.T., Shuto Expressway or Solitude.
