GT Sport Update v1.53 Arrives, Adds Laguna Seca, Ford GT and More

[Nielsen]

Once again excellent work on new cars and the track.

Only disappointment is the GT League update. Too few new events that interest me much.

 

[GlamFM]

Damn.

Managed to drive 3 laps on Laguna Seca before going to work this morning.

Best looking track in the game?
Has to be up there at least.

 

[nevelo]

so,no rain on laguna seca ?

 

[VolkswagenX]

Almost no Rims for the mk1

Even worse, BBS RS not an option...

 

[AKps3]

 

[crooky369]

No Christmas theme this year I assume?

 

[I-Runner]

Two words: Mileage Exchange

It could be good if PD would add new rims also

IR

 

[dimassa19]

so,no rain on laguna seca ?

Nope...

PD wants to keep the lagoon dry.

 

[rex1825]

...so new safety cars are N class, can anyone check if old 3 are transferred to N class or they're still in X?

 

[stpatty]

The news feed says there have been BoP changes, but doesn't list any cars. Am I missing something?

My opinion on the update
Good points
Laguna Seca
🤬 FINALLY! a proper american circuit! sorry willow springs i love but i had enough and as for Blue moon bay ... no thanks.
Ford GT (2017)
Its finally here ! and wow what a beast! im hoping for the GTE version someday.
Porsche 911 Carrera RS Clubsport (993)
I wasen't expecting this version so its a nice surprise (i still want a turbo version too tho.)
Toyota Crown Athlete G
Im gonna be honest i didn't even know this car existed a faw days ago thats Gran turismo for you even after 22 years it teaches you new things.
VW Golf MK1
Welcome back! This car holds a special place in my heart because my father owned one long ago. Edit It was a Mk2 but close enough .
Bad points
I don't want to be that guy but why 3 safety cars this could've been avoided if GT auto was a thing.. oh well i guess some of thair old habbits are still alive but still a great way to close the year. Edit 2 🤬 i must be more careful when typing.

It could be that they have plans to make a spec 3 version that is for Gr. 3 and save the money by making their own variant rather than a GTE/GTLM car that no longer exists.

You say that but then again that didn't stop them from adding 2 Lexus RCF GT3's 2 Toyota Corolla (AE86's) etc . Also a car that no longer exists ? what?

They are still in Gr. X

 

[Nuschel01]

Also a car that no longer exists ?

What car would that be?

However, the Crown is a fairly well know car amongst people who ever got a slight interest in japanese cars and there is so much more stuff to discover n terms of JDM exclusive vehicles it's insane

 

[crooky369]

My gosh what a car the new Ford GT is. It really is a race car for the road.

It just doesn't seem to have any weaknesses. Strong acceleration, stable under breaking, balanced through low spees corner, a fair amount of grip and downforce through the faster bends and incredible power.

It destroyed a GR4 grid at Laguna Seca with sport soft tyres and absolutely no setup changed.

It also destroys a GR3 field at my favourite obscure money maker the Horse Shoe mile track.

I done a 5 lap race with the engine DE-tuned to N400, lowest weight and super soft racing tyres and it pulled away with ease. 99,000 credits for 5 minutes of racing.

I have no idea I guess @LMSCorvetteGT2 means that its no longer active ? But even then it retired last year (as a factory car) so its not that old .

Well you know what they say "One never stops learning "

I would have preferred the older crowns 's (beacuse 1 and 2JZ) tho. Maybe even a Soarer or an Aristo.
But nice to see more sedans in the game

 

[Savolainen83]

Get it?

NFS High Stakes right?

All these pics reminds me Gran Turismo 3 A- spec!!!! My first GT!!!!!

 

[theschledy]

Has anyone had a chance to experience the "new" penalty system?

 

[KenboZX10r]

Is there already a thread understanding the Bop changes?

 

[Nielsen]

No Christmas theme this year I assume?

I think it will trigger on the actual Christmas days.

 

[Vspectra]

Damn.

Has to be up there at least.

Yeah, definitely up there with Le Mans.

 

[CTznOfTime]

V1.53 is Christmas presents
What more do you want ?!

 

[Divaldo]

Color choices

Anyone locate the Safety Cars? We can use them to race, but don't see them in Brand Central dealerships or GT dealership.

Safety Cars...soon in the mile exchange

Also very interested in this

 

[LaSupra]

It's an update that seems to cater for (almost) every GT fan: We have the new Ford GT for those begging for a recent new supercar; the 993 GT2 RS for some vintage Porsche & early 90's race car vibes (and some RUF memories); and the Golf for a fun little throw-around from the GT4 days; not to forget the returning staple that is Laguna Seca. For me though, the Crown tops this one. It really brings back the original Gran Turismo feel; showing similar levels of performance, style and class of an old favourite, the Toyota Chaser. Expect some retro GT & JTCC liveries from me Thank you Kaz & PD!

Looks like it's the same as before, maybe even worse:

But the penalty changes were free so we shouldn't complain.
