The wet roads at Spa need to be more reflective given it's heavy rain. I hope they don't rush it, it looks like they need more development time and polishing up, as it currently has weirdly placed random patches of reflective puddles while most of the track looks almost completely dry.

Should be more reflective like the bottom pic, and Tokyo Expressway rain shows it's possible to do.

Looking at GT Sport 1.57 data and Daytona is / was the next planned track to have rain conditions:

We are passed Update 1.57 (currently 1.62 as we speak) and also was Daytona a planned track to be added at that time or your saying Daytona was planned to add weather effects? (Because clearly Daytona is not even present in the game itself).

With update 1.57 we received the 2020 version of the GR Supra.

I'm saying the Daytona track is or was the next track to receive rain based on the data in 1.57.

The Spa track was in GT Sport data over a year before they rolled it out in an update.

Will GT Sport owners get Daytona? Only Polyphony knows.

I can elaborate in this. Spa was quite complete back then but was being held back for over a year due to disagreement on license terms by Spa Management.

Maybe we'll get it before the 24 Hours of Daytona or Daytona 500...
 
The game has a database where it pulls all car and track settings from. This and the other tracks I posted in the GT7 forum are from that. Editing this file is how I loaded that forest track and the Driving Park skidpad.
How do u see the game data on ps4 ???

You connect a memory debugger to a PS4 that can be exploited.

To do it your PS4 has to be no higher than firmware 7.02, there's a 7.55 exploit being worked on but no ETA, so 7.55 is the current highest firmware if you want any chance to run homebrew in the future.

Honestly I love data mining. Really reveals what got cut and what will come as content.

I never data mine but long live the data miners.
