GT6 Easter Eggs and interesting finds

[rallymorten]

I'll ask Ricardo about that as soon as possible.

I'm jealous that you, while casually walking the street, might bump into an ex-F1 driver

However, if it's possible for you to ask him, I hope you'll share the outcome of the conversation with us. It might hold a valuable piece of information 👍

*thinking of creating a GT6 Mysteries And Investigation thread*

Ghia isn't Ford, Ghia is Ghia! Looks to me like a Toyota/Lexus estate, those inset brake lamps are pretty distinctive.

It says "Altezza Gita." It's the hatchback Altezza, and can be purchased in game.

Does anybody know which brand's timeline is this?

99% sure that's Honda Civic. 1972 - 2012. The 1972 model clearly matches the picture, and although the others are very pixelated, they match the 1985 model, 1991 model, etc.

Also, in the top left corner it looks like it says "celebrate" and "civic". Not sure about the rest, but possibly it says "celebrate in rides by civic".

Edit: Not sure about the middle word. Looks like a 5 letter word, the 3rd being "S", 4th possibly "E" and 5th could be "T".

The 4th word could be either "by" or "of".

I adjusted the perspective in photoshop to see if it was easier to read. Didn't help much...

I've been for a walk around the inside of there in photo mode, none of it is really clear enough to get any good definitions from apart from the overhead manufacturer's signs, but that was hardly surprising.

This was also pretty cool to find whilst on my "hike"

I reckon it says "Celebrate 40 years of Civic"

Looks like VW golfs.

It's Honda Civics.

This is the exact same picture that's on the left, only they cropped it a bit:

Interesting find, which likely means that PD came to this track back in 2012.

Makes sense as, if I'm not mistaken, was one of the first tracks that showed up in the first GT6 trailer.

The "Yellowbird" is a one off car. It was the prototype CTR. All the production CTR's were just CTR's. The production cars didn't have the NACA vents over the rear fenders.

The "Yellowbird" in the above article is a CTR not THE "Yellowbird" that name was only given to the prototype.

I was catching up on older Car & Drivers the other day and came across this article from the November 2013 edition:
http://www.caranddriver.com/features/1987-ruf-ctr-yellowbird-911-turbo-driven-video

They indicate the name was given by one of the photographers to a standard CTR:

Photographer John Lamm, now a member of our staff, was on-site and christened the car “Yellowbird.” On its way to that outrageous top speed, the CTR recorded zero-to-100 mph in 7.3 seconds.

That certainly adds to the myth. However the NACA ducts were only on the prototype. They weren't on production cars because they added drag.

On Trial Mountain ,sometimes, a GT air ship shows up near the last corner.

It includes brands that were not available in GT6, such as DACIA and ROLLS-ROYCE View attachment 120548
As well as SKODA View attachment 120549
No idea what these cars are but the leftmost one reminds me of this:

The middle and the leftmost ones look like Alfa Romeo 8C:

That Mitsubishi pic actually reminds me of the picture of the Photomode space in GT4 that had snow in it, with the Pajero Rally Raid car.

On Trial Mountain ,sometimes, a GT air ship shows up near the last corner.

Sometimes it's around the corner. If you play a replay multiple times, the airship may or may not show up, and in different places. The same thing happens with hot air balloons on Chamonix and birds on another track.

The FT-1's in car speedo and the HUD speedo don't quite match up. The in car is 1mph faster.

It's, obviously, a bug...


... C'mon PD...

 

[rallymorten]

..and the speed measurings not matching is an easter egg because..?

 

[R5]

..and the speed measurings not matching is an easter egg because..?

..and rabbits at goodwood is an Easter egg because..?

Kinda applies to everything in this thread.

 

[rallymorten]

The measures not matching up could be (and most likely is) a bug in programming.

Let me turn your question around: since when was rabbits, the GT logo made in lights on a building at SSR5, real drivers' names on fictive cars, not to speak of all the paranormal activity at Trial Mountain, a bug?

Just sayin'

 

[Roflwaffle]

Keep it to Easter eggs people!

 

[R5]

The "paranormal activity" is more than likely a bug, as its also unlikely that PD would add ghosts n stuff into their game...

 

[rallymorten]

So, all the stuff at TM (including the monkey, the tree and the Loch Ness Monster; paranormal can mean more than just ghosts, and I think Nessie falls into that category) are bugs? Or, to make a non-GT6 example to help prove the point, the UFOs in GTA V are bugs too?

Sorry for contributing to dragging the thread off-topic ( ), but I'm trying to say bugs =/= easter eggs

 

[Roflwaffle]

Trial Mountain stuff are all Easter eggs, the Nurb "UFO" is not. (Unless it was intended)

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Weird intended things that are cool and/or funny are Easter eggs. Unintended things are bugs.

When was a monkey paranormal...? And a tree?

 

[rallymorten]

I never said those two were, but please, explain to me how Nessie isn't. Have you ever met her? No. Do people claim to have seen her? Yes. Is there 1000% proof it exists? No. Isn't that a bit the same procedure as ghost stories and other paranormal stuff?

Does this qualify?

Does this qualify?

Took me a moment to see what the problem was.

Yup, that's obviously a bug
