GT Sport Update 1.47 Arrives, Introducing Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps

[Haitauer]

The Michelin content was added last month. It's in the car settings screen, Brand Central, and numerous additional trackside advertising boards.

This reminds me of a side trail connected to the Tokyo event. I noticed they had michelin logos on the side of the tires in N500 cars. Has it been like that before and is it possible in game?

 

[DesertPenguin]

It still bothers me how the cars leave no tyre marks on the wet road...

Because there's no rain physics model for making a dry line or anything like that. All they did was add a rain visual and adjust the grip levels of the track all around. There's no line or anything, the whole track is just less grip overall. Not very realistic.

there will surely be a maintenance with a fix next week!

No and not before today, and I haven't checked if the update has changed that.

For what?

pretty !! and spa ??

Why don't you ask him in that thread? I don't even have the update yet.

Quite ugly looking Mercedes. They could have done better - releasing a pure Mercedes from that year and not this ugly racing one.
Spa. What a boring track. *zzzzzzzznoring* A really tired choice of a track. Was hoping for more cars and a better, more fun track! The dev team has lost it completely and uses GT Sport as an art project and not take it seriously anymore. If so we should have got better cars and not such a boring track as SPA. It would have been great to have Monaco GP track in it or a winter rallye stage. That would have been something extraordinary!

The Merc ugly? Spa boring? I think YOU lost it completely....... Not PD...

Price tags of all the cars:

Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce '15 (N800) - 1,200,000 Cr
Mazda Demio XD Touring '15 (N100) - 19,500 Cr
Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG '71 (Gr.X) - 2,000,000 Cr
Porsche Taycan Turbo S '19 (Gr.X) - 230,000 Cr

Looks like the Red Pig may indeed be the new main contender for "cheapest and most viable car to run Nostalgic 1979"...

Really expensive cars

Wouldnt that require too much processing power...

I am sure that also was the intention from PD and Kaz but technical limitation must be the only holdback for such a detailed oriented team...

Stop feeding the troll.....

So I had a go with the Taycan at Spa:

(All cars are in their base HP/Weight setting and ran in Sport Soft tires. Their suspension and diffs were tweaked as well)

Ok, so we have 4 new GT League events at Spa, that's cool. But why they all happen at the same conditions (16h45 and fine weather)?! That's an odd choice. I was expecting a race at rain or at least races in different times of day, like Sunset or Dusk. I mean, of course we can create a custom race, but it's quite not the same thing lol. Fingers crossed for next update, hope PD adds more different events at Spa.

I didn't think they were that bad, did a few sessions at BMB at 345,000 for every 12 minutes and am ready to buy them all.....as soon as I get get away from 🤬 work!

I prefer GR.1 at monza (12 Minutes) or Nostalgia in La Sarthe (8 Minutes) BMB is quite boring.
I still need to finish GR.1 endurance in Kyoto.

Weird that in a custom Gr3 race at Spa the BMWs are starting 4th and 5th, good to see them not at the front

edit: the two M6s are 4th and 5th, and the M3 is 6th and the Z4 is 7th

I like seeing that. The Alfa 4C Gr.3 and Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 starting in the front changes the grid up for once.

Fired up the PS4 this morning quickly before work just to start the download and put the console in low power more so it can download while I'm at work. Looking forward to driving the Mazda.

Any replays with the Merc?, would like to hear the engine sound and see how it moves..

 

[theschledy]

We're 4 pages in to this thread and we're not at each other's throats yet. This update is underrated in that regard.

Good job PD!

 

[Confus]

Very excited to drive the Demio. It’ll go nicely next to my three Fits

Also the Taycan looks like a hoot to drive. Hopefully you can change the wheels? That’s the only part of it that’s holding it back for me.

[Nunogs123]

Is it just me or the sport tyres seams to have less grip? Did anybody note that diference or is it Just me?

(Sorry for bad english)

Not the Demio though, and that is important.

Taycan 2:32.781
Aventador SV 2:33.291
Quite strange...

Specs say otherwise...

 

[AngryKowski]

the taycan feels heavy, but it is fun to drive if you don't forget to break. And you still get this stupid gear indicator although you can't select any gears, lol

You can change them but the choice is limited.

What is the max hp/min weight of the Mercedes? Trying to see if it’s good for 1979 nostalgia.
