What are elimination races? The ones where last place is knocked out at the end of each lap?

I think the only thing we're really missing is championships.



Track rework came in GT4. Then the pit entrance change in GT5, last I remember it was a good looking track and it's among the ones I was surprised to not be included in GT Sport. Changing it up again would be odd.
Some of those Seasonals with GT500 at HSR was pretty cool. Adding more track wouldn't be a bad move by PD.
 
latest

Looking at the bridge.... High Speed Ring?

The water part looks similar although the dam was non-existent in the teaser.
Yes please!! Its my favourite circuit from gt6!!!
 
I don't see what the point is in teasing a fictional location for a new, fake track. It would just confuse people. This has to be a real place

This makes no sense, you can have a fictional track from a real world location, it's been a heavy theme of various GT games over the years. Not sure what GT games you've played but you should look at the history of you don't know. The person you quoted, said it looks like a fictional track, not a fictional location.

Also let's say it was a fictional location (something PD has also done) for a fictional track. Why would that confuse people? Why would they even care if it was a fake location, I doubt people give a damn about geography of the area, and are more in line with wanting a new and interesting track. One that could have variations added later on as well. I don't see how anyone other than you perhaps would find this confusing. So that doesn't actually give you any footing to make the claim "this has to be a real place".

If it is a real place, it would be recognized fairly quickly. Unless someone pinpoints it very soon, I'd be betting on a fictional location.

How would it be recognized quickly? There are tons of random locations that PD seems to survey and has done so over the years that I doubt not to many people would be able to pin point unless they live around said locations. The idea that people can claim one of the other - fictional or nonfictional - is interesting since neither side has good evidence to make such a decisive claim.
 
It doesn't look like anywhere in Andalusia that I've seen, to be fair. The castle looks more Dalmatian or Bohemian?
 
GT Auto and oil changes would be awesome to see in sport,and seasonal events too. Also the ability to add aero kits.

Add Aero kits to what? Again it's not the traditional GT game, why people are wanting it to be when it has already be said it wont be is beyond me. Sorry if the esports take over isn't your liking, I hear Forza does plenty of this still, if that is the type of racer game you are looking for.
 
We need Sebring! I need real race tracks and GTS really need to implement tracks like Sebring, Spa, Silverstone or even Dijon. Give us Ascari Raceway or Magny Cours. Don't get me wrong I'm thankful for every update they make but I really hope we get new race tracks. A few Maseratis and some new Porsches and I'm happy.
 
It's unlikely to be a Scape (the camera is moving in the teaser, not simply zooming in), and it seems way, way too big to be a "dynamic Scape" (the modelled scenes you see the cars driving through on the main screen). To model all of that for what amounts to little more than a screensaver seems unlikely.

"Dynamic scapes" aren't modelled like you probably think they are. While there will be some geometry it will be very sparse/low poly, upon which the static image is 3D projected to give a hint of parallax. Go too far one way or the other and it breaks the illusion. Its a technique thats used in movies all the time to make a flat image look 3D.

This example is probably more complex than the relatively simple and small parallax movements in GTS:
 
...I wouldn't mind if this update brings one of the old original tracks back, at least let it be a track. But what I wouldn't mind even more is to get classic GT course DLC pack for some 15$, that'll include all the GT courses that we all loved. Also wouldn't mind to get a DLC with real life tracks like some that we already had in previous games, Spa, Silverstone, Laguna Seca, Fuji, Montegi etc. I'd love to get all those tracks... and for God's sake, increase the number of players in MP from 16 to something like 32... I mean todays internet connection for majority of people is at least decent, and with funny 10/2Mbps one can get 32 cars on track without problem...

I'm all for the esports scene, but I too would like to see aero kits.
 
I don't believe for a second this will be Grand Valley but if it is, I can see the bridge being longer. It could bring more action / overtakes to that specific sector of the track, stuck in between 2 very slow corners.

But I welcome a new track. Lake Maggiore is my favorite fictional track in GT history and Dragon Trail is pretty decent as well.

Again on what? N classes only? All classes? So limited to offline play then? or if it isn't just offline play only online private lobbies away from Sport mode?

On everything. I'd like different wing options on my Gr3 and 4 Vipers.

Why does N class have to be limited to offline when someone adds an adroit? Obviously it should be able to be used in sport mode.

No it isn't obvious, the actual reason itself why it shouldn't be is obvious though. And that is the balancing act of things. The cars are still hard to balance, with each update and new car added that increases the meta and balancing work. You start putting additional variables into that and the issue quickly becomes compounded. If it was simply just aesthetics (not sure why it really matters) I could understand that more.

Most N races are one makes is that's not an issue.

Gr3 and Gr4 cars already have aero mods so changing the wing is an aesthetic change at that point.

Yes I know N races are one make, my point about those was to essentially ask if people only want this to give some semblance of modding like we've had since GT1. So if people were allowed to mod aero wise even for one makes, and you give various option, the one make idea loses its meaning. Simply because PD would have to code it to where those mods only work aesthetically and provide no actual performance gains.

Same goes for Gr, just because they are already there doesn't mean they provide no benefit to the car they're on, it's just a fixed on. So if you were to change that out, it too would be a fixed performance setting. Which again would alter the BoP in sport mode. So while you find it an innocent request I don't see how it is such. I can understand it for other modes that aren't sport oriented.
 
While that is a theory, that just begs another question: why would they show a Scape off like this? Or, to put it more bluntly, if they're showing off the "meat" of the update (and frankly there's no reason to suggest they aren't), is that what this has to offer?

I'm not buying it. I *do* believe it's something bigger, but, given what little evidence we have, I feel fairly confident in saying that it *isn't* Grand Valley or indeed any other classic.


Side note:



..well.. this has successfully brought out the speculators, I guess. It's something, right?
A tweet the update is on its way on the end of the month just a notification.
We will probably get a new trailer 1 week before the update trough sony and Gran tursimo s youtube channel and sony puts discount on Gts in The PSN store to push some more sales before the uodate arrives thats how they did it with most mojor updates they just notified us cause peolpe were expecting a end june update.

I apologize but I do not understand your logic. What is the issue with aero mods in one make races? If the user wants a wing, they are only a couple hundred mileage pts away from buying one and equipping it. Aero mods don't always have to be allowed (that isnt what I am suggesting)

It could be turned off like PD has done lately with tuning and tire compounds. Occasionally it would be nice to have a "tuner" version of one makes with the option to beef up the cars.

The user simply needs to return the wing to the default option when aero mods are not allowed. Reapplying the wing later at no additional cost.

Changing a Gr3 or 4 wing is an aesthetic change and should always be allowed. If the default wing applies X amount of downforce, the new wing applies the same amount of downforce. It does exactly what the other wing does, but it looks different. It is an aesthetic change and there is no need to adjust the BoP.

But if the wings etc etc don't provide any performance benefit then whats the point?
