GT Sport's Next Update Arrives April 23

[SUPRASTAR0003]

Kind of disappointing that it's not the actual Rothmans livery on the 962 obviously due to advertising laws, wait HOLD ON!
I forgot, you can just look for an Rothmans livery, "Add to Collection", then apply one on.

 

[sirjim73]

Yeah! I got it right!

You win an internet cookie

Gentlemen - START YOUR ENGINES!



EDIT - can't wait for the @emula comparisons of the AE86 and the TT and Gordini. Especially the AE86 interior.

EDIT2 - should be a good trailer later (or tomorrow). Fingers crossed for Midfield Raceway track for @MidFieldMaven ...

 

[mwoodski]

It's perfect.

 

[MatskiMonk]

I'm not really that fussed about the cars in the update. I'm most keen to find out if we get another track. We seem to be getting less cars these days but the Track output seems to be pretty good.

 

[Famine]

Oops forgot to show them. Edited my post.

Do we know which store they're in? I do a quick flick through a bunch of them the day before any update, and I've not seen these cars yet...

 

[Loverson]

Usually Aus/New Zealand tend to have the images first. I never have the luck to find them

GT Complete posted the renders on Twitter. Probably best try asking him.

New Zealand it is, apparently. Australia's the first one I try each month, but never thought about their neighbours!

 

[Rangeraus]

How about this?
It's based on the Rothmans livery, but doesn't have Rothmans logos themselves.

Yeah! I got it right!

Actually... on closer inspection, that is not a Porsche 962. That is a Porsche 956 from 1983.

The point is the same - after checking further, both the 956 and 962 were raced with and without tobacco advertising, depending on the venue.

Though it looks like this car in-game has the livery edited slightly in post-production. The alignment is slightly better than the non-tobacco versions that actually raced in 1986.

But it won't matter as it will be the first car I buy from this update, 100% historically accurate or not.

Look how low the Gordini is. That's magic. I need that suspension on the AE86.

Next time, start with Fiji or Samoa. But not the Cook Islands otherwise you've gone too far

¿The twitter account that has upload the cars images from the update is teasing Goodwood Hill Climb?

Curious, GT is no longer a sponsor of FOS.

The account is a fan account that posts car images downloaded from the PS Store. Nothing it suggests is any better than any other guess.

(also there's a Goodwood Circuit as well as a hill climb; Goodwood isn't just one thing)

Not info yet about the categories about the Fit and Renault?
Please no Gr.X

Last time the Rothmans livery ran with #1 was 1986, and the Team Schuppan entry in the 1988 JSPC (the only Rothmans liveried 962C in 1988) was #25.

Nice job PD on the 1986 liveried 1988 962C.

No matter, you have Livery editor if you don't like the original design.

Thanks for missing the point I was making.

The year might be a typo. This happened when the game received the 997 GT3, but the year was later corrected.

 

[AllMightyVTEC]

I think this is the 962C they tried to emulate. It ran the Nurburgring 1000KM in 1986, so I think it’s a typo with the year. Notice the lack of Rothmans decals

Now that we have the short tail, I’d like to see PD do what Project Cars 2 did and include the Langheck with the ‘88 Dunlop Shell Livery

Close, but not quite. They've modeled the livery of the 1986 LM24 winning car, which makes sense due to how PD operate with LM entries in the GT series, but with the tobacco advertising ban in effect on it.

 

[wagnerFAM98]

Please PD release the trailer now or in the next few hours. Don't bring it at the same time the update drops

Nope, the sponsors are not correct for Le Mans car:

Note the multiple sponsors in from of the racing number in the Le Mans car, to say nothing of the Le Mans car being the long tail, obviously. And the Le Mans car was not spinsored by BOSS - behind side window on GTS model

Looks like the Bellof Nurburgring car to me

^ Was just about to post about that. Things are a little more backwards than it seems.

Not necessarily PD's fault. Porsche sold the factory cars to privateers who continued to use them well in the 90s, as you're most likely aware. To keep them more or less competitive, many teams performed modifications on the bodywork and chassis. Porsche bought back some of those cars eventually, as did collectors, and restored them, but failed to completely restore some to their as-raced configuration. Perhaps the best example of this would be the 1987 Le Mans winner, the #17 Rothmans car that currently resides in the Porsche museum, and has been used in various games (Assetto Corsa, Project Cars, Forza, etc). For some reason when they restored it, they used the 1988 rear bodywork, and even used 956 wheel covers.

As raced:

Restored car in the museum:

It's fairly likely the car PD scanned and digitalised is a hodge-podge of various 962s. Porsche themselves couldn't do it right, so I'm willing to give game developers a bit of slack.

 

[Canucks_9419]

So, this update brings another 5 copy/paste cars from gt6... great!
I can't wait to race the incredible Honda Fit Hybrid!

At least try and do some research before stating ignorant things next time.

So it's even worse then as that's an '85 livery.
