GT Sport's Next Content Update is On Its Way

Sunset in france is currently around 9:45... I fail to see the problem?

After afternoon is evening just to note above, and it ends at sunset when evening (or night) begins.
So is there's no logic in what PD have done unfortunately.

 

[05XR8]

I don't remember the track being so wide.

 

[fortbo]

Odd that there’s no night racing at Lemans. Really odd actually. Why would they think it’s a good idea to release the track without it?

 

[bdj57]

Well,,, I'm expecting night race at Le Mans really. But the inclusion of the track is enough for me I guess

Oh, take a look at these Group C cars cockpit by the way :





Miura and Lancer :

I'm doing an Arcade race with Gr. 4 at Le Mans. Funny that the French cars(Megane FF, Bugatti and RC Z) are leading the field from lap 2/3.

 

[dimassa19]

Masterpiece! I just finished one lap in cloudy wheather... OMG!

Would you seriously call 9pm afternoon? I'd call that evening

The period of time at the end of the day, usually from about 6 p.m. to bedtime.

Origin
Old English ǣfnung ‘dusk falling, the time around sunset’, from ǣfnian ‘approach evening’, from ǣfen (see even).

 

[Aphelion]

Yes ok, but evening comes before sunset!?

Oh I see what you're saying... just seems like a minor word technicallity to me, nothing sinister

 

[zlays]

I'm 99% sure they'll add night theme later on...can someone check please are the exhaust flames back on ps4 pro and 4k tv?

 

[ghost30]

If you play full grid Gr.1 in arcade, the new Gr.1 cars are on the grid. We can at least see them in motion, and hear what they sound like until servers are up.

That's what I'm getting at, but how can someone call 10pm a sunset when it's already evening lol?

 

[bdj57]

Some replay footage of Group C cars battling with Gr 1 in La Sarthe. It is cool and weird at the same time, even though it looks like the old dogs are quite competitive :

 

[eran0004]

Time to just load up GT6 and enjoy the other tracks PD bothered giving us in the past

If you don’t mind the quality differences between the games, why not?

 

[Nuschel01]

Because the sun sets at 10pm?

 

[05XR8]

Even more dust slightly off the track.

 

[K32]

Because the sun sets at 10pm?

Yes it sets then, but until then it is officially considered afternoon. So 9pm, which is before 10pm, before sunset, should be considered afternoon, not evening. Evening comes after sunset. I know 9pm by normal standards is evening, but I smirk when I see this.

Anyway, nascarfan's stream is going pretty nicely, showing off some the new cars and Le Mans. Just look at how beautiful this is, I think it's amazing how life like it looks (not best quality cos it's from the stream) FLYBY FTW!!!

 

[eran0004]

Question... how can 22:00 (10pm) be sunset and not be dark, while 21:00 (9pm) is evening? I hope this is not PD's excuse to get out of a night version...

Central European Summer Time.

Edit: And I wouldn’t say that afternoon is between noon and sunset, I’d say that it’s between noon and evening and that evening starts around 6pm. If I’ll meet someone at 9pm in the summer I say “see you in the evening” rather than “see you in the afternoon”.

 

[Nuschel01]

Did you read that I quoted the Oxford dictionary? They state evening is roughly from 6pm until "bedtime".

 

[ghost30]

Jaguar sounds mean.. powershifting and everything.

You're only giving me more ammunition. Read closely. The fact that PD are going to try balancing the long-tails, which are suited for low-downforce Le Mans, to be comparable in performance to the likes of the 2016 Audi R18 e-tron, which appears in high-downforce configuration, on high-downforce tracks, outside Le Mans, means the BoP will be completely unrealistic. Even if the Group C's were comparable to the LMP1s, at Le Mans, thanks to them racing in low-downforce/high-speed configuration instead of the high-downforce/lower-speed configuration of the LMP1s, if there was any realism, they would get annihilated on any other track like Maggiore, Brands Hatch or Suzuka, because those tracks require high downforce.

Now let's put the whole lap-time debate to rest, once and for all, with the next part.

I don't like using another game as an example but, because data for other tracks is hard to procure and each data set may have been recorded under different conditions, I'll use lap-times recorded, by AI, in Assetto Corsa, regarded as a proper simulation, in which conditions can be controlled and consistently replicated. This data comes from a thread, here on the GTPlanet forums. You can find it here to check for yourself. Assetto Corsa contains, lucky for us, both Group C cars and modern LMP1s.

The track used was Road America, not as fast a track as Le Mans, but still considered a speed circuit, reducing the disadvantage of the Group C cars. Remember: AI laps, no variations caused by a human driving. Cars driving on identical conditions, on identical tires (modern soft slicks), with the AI set to an identical skill level and no other BoP. The cars are raw. Now, let's look at the numbers:

Fastest LMP1 lap (by the 2016 Porsche 919 Hybrid): 1:47.4
Fastest Group C lap (by the Porsche 962C Long Tail): 1:59.0

Group C, identical everything, 11.6 seconds off the pace. I don't care how much you love your Group C, the fact is they are not a match for modern LMP1 around your average circuit and, in order to correct such an imbalance, the only, non-artificial, way would be to create a new class entirely. Deal with it.

Ha ha. You were the one presenting false data in the first place with laptimes that don't apply the the cars in the game. Did you realise the the gap between the '10 908 and the '16 cars is bigger that the one between Group C and LMP1.

Anyway the Group C cars and LMP1 cars are in GR.1 specification anyway.

Welcome back Le Mans, I've missed you so much. 👍

Ok, I get it. For me it depends how you look at it.

 

[SestoScudo]

No night time!!!!

 

[bdj57]

Hello old girl. It's been a long time since I drove you in GT4. Glad you are back

 

[TorqueHappenS08]

Hello old girl. It's been a long time since I drove you in GT4. Glad you are back

please download the real livery, that just looks weird to me now lol.

Amazing how in gt5-gt6 we were just stuck with that livery.

 

[dimassa19]

Even more dust slightly off the track.

Oh yeah, beautiful!

 

[RedlineRacer]

Hot Lap:

oh do shut up

 

[rev_hard]

They didn’t annonunce the addition of Le Mans 60 lap endurance race..?
