Documented Changes

An update for Gran Turismo 6 has been released. The following is a list of the main features introduced:

Vision Gran Turismo
The “Volkswagen GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo” has been released. Experience the dynamic all wheel drive supercar that inherits the DNA of the Volkswagen sports GTI philosophy.

After the update has been installed, the car can be purchased from the [Vision GT] option within the [CARS] section in "My Home". Alternatively, it is also possible to obtain the car by completing a lap (regardless of the lap time) in the new Seasonal Event, available only for a limited time.

The “Volkswagen Vision GT” racing suit has been added to the [Special Outfits] page of the [Racing Gear] option within the [TUNING & SERVICING] section, accessible from "My Home". The suit can also be obtained from the corresponding Seasonal Events, available only for a limited time.

Red Bull Ring
The full and short track layouts of the "Red Bull Ring" have been added to the game. This is an ultra high speed circuit with long flat out sections and tricky tight corners in between. How you handle these tight turns will greatly affect your final lap time. In 2014, Formula 1 racing returned to this track after an 11 year hiatus; the circuit truly brings together the best of the old and the new.

New vehicles have been introduced
The following cars have been added to the [Dealerships] option within the [CARS] section of "My Home". You can also find those cars in the [Recommended Cars] option of the same section:

• GT-R NISMO GT3 Nissan GT Academy Team RJN ‘13
• Lexus IS F CCS-R ‘11
• Toyota TS030 Hybrid ‘12

Adjustments to the physics simulation model
The physics simulation model of “Gran Turismo 6” has been updated with the following changes:

(1) The dynamics of the car on surfaces with cornerstones and bumps have been improved;
(2) The effect of the tyre geometry has been changed (mainly for the "Camber Angle" option);
(3) The handling of some rear heavy cars has been improved;

The default settings of the tuning parts have also been adjusted to match the above changes.

Other cars adjustments
On the various Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X models, it is now possible to enable the [Active Steering] under the [Driving Options] of the "Quick Menu".

Other offline improvements and adjustments
- [Data Logger] can now be opened from the "Quick Menu" of Time Trial events. Please note that only limited features will be available in this way. Please refer to the online manual for more details.
- A [Reset to Default] option that returns the car to its showroom condition has been added under [Car Settings].
- Signal Starts are now enabled on tracks with signals.

Other online improvements and adjustments
- A countdown is now displayed on the bottom right part of the Open Lobby screen, showing the time before an event starts and the time when the track voting ends.
- The uploading time for both Drift Trials and Time Trials (Section) have been changed.

*Please note that after the patch is installed, there may be up to a 30 minutes additional install time which may differ from what is displayed on screen. Thank you for your patience, and please enjoy the great new content!

For more details on each of the above features, please refer to the online manual on gran-turismo.com.

Go to thread tools right under "GT6 1.0.9 Discussion..." and press edit title.

They ruined the game for Nascar fans.... SLOWED the cars down by 5 tenths at every oval COME ON WHY? DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW LONG WE WORK ON THOSE SETUPS?

But if it slows everyone down by the same amount, it is not negating the time and effort put in to those setups. The thing you really should worry about is the effect of the new camber physics.

Thank god they finally ruined it for NASCAR fans. Does that mean you won't be online running the same track over and over and over and over and over and over?

I kid. To each their own. Think of it as a correction to the physics model that will effect everyone the same. I'd rather they occasionally fix stuff than never look back.

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

At least they warned us this time, PD is good about not telling us they changed/fixed things.

I know man but its so frustrating, just leave the game alone, especially after 6 months when everyone is over the little imperfections in the camber or physics model. Why mess with it now when everyone has learned how to tune on this game.

They've been doing that for the last 3 1/2 years. It confuses me to no end how people keep getting upset about it every time it happens. Every few months they put out an update that has a rather dramatic impact on tuners, and this is one of the main reasons I completely gave up on tuning about 2 years ago. My advice, prepare for it to happen again in 2-3 months.

I'm also not sure how everyone being .5 seconds slower in a NASCAR circle race is going to have much of an impact on those races? That's less than 2 blinks of an eye and if it impacts everyone (relatively) equally, then it's of no concern.

Yeah I know that its all relative and it wont have the biggest impact, but my question is, if you were to mess with tuning heavy cars like they did, WHY would you make them slower instead of faster...

Amazing track, great update. Also VW VGT has cockpit

I doubt that was the intention. They noticed something was a bit wrong and they fixed it, regardless of whether it made the car slower or faster. It's well known that cars in GT6 have top speeds that are too high, so making an adjustment that slows cars down a bit is probably a step in the right direction. 👍

Glad they updated the physics and camber, even happier they let us know instead of doing it ninja styles.

I do agree that the constant physics changes get frustrating. Because of the spectrum of cars and types of racing I do, it sometimes takes me a month or two to get all my rides sorted after an update....just in time to start the process over again

The change to the top speeds of FR cars will hopefully have some interesting implications in the JDM freeway racing I do on SSR7. Skyline fans everywhere are loving this update haha.

I don't think we need another thread discussing this update.
