Montmelo Circuit de Catalunya confirmed in next update

[zzz_pt]

I am not Spanish, but i have always appreciated Gran Turismo for the fact that you can have fun with cars of all nationalities and "everyday cars", those that in video games do not often appear for example in this case the Seat brand. Obviously this is my opinion, i also like the supercars but i find them boring because you see them in all the games (NFS, ecc...)

Yes, I agree with that. But I don't thing GT Sport is a normal GT game. I don't see any recent, historic sports / race car Seat could add to the game with the exception of the Leon Cupra. If they can add it to Gr.4, not so bad.

In past games, PD added lots of everyday cars (including family cars, vans, etc). With GT Sport, not so much.

I agree, GT Sport is much more about racing, but having recently added a lot of "normal" cars like the Mini and the Suzuki Swift, maybe there is a possibility

PD is only adding cars which were present in GT6, right? (Not counting the cars new to the series) Dunno if a Seat Ibiza would make it. Let's see. The UP should be close.

Specifically adding the Super Premiums that were made for GT6 or added to it in an update.

Here is the list https://www.gran-turismo.com/local/jp/data1/products/gt6/carlist_en.html

There's about 180 of them (many of which we already have)

Seat Ibiza is not one of them, so PD would have to make it from scratch. So I'm filing that in the 'definitely not happening' section. IMO.

 

[05XR8]

I don't understand this. A lot of people seem to be looking forward some some Seats and whatnot. Unless you're Spanish, I don't see why someone would want a Seat in the game when there are so many cooler (and better known) brands and cars to chose from which are not in the game yet.

I don't thing they will bring a Seat tbh. I might be wrong. With PD we never know what to expect.

I'd like Australian cars in the game. Probably not going to happen, but living in Australia, would be nice for Australian representation. So, wanting to see a car from one's own country, isn't a bad request.

A SEAT, is faster than a Beetle. That makes it a better car to use in this game. Is it more fun? That's subjective. However, it may be more fun, to a person that wants the SEAT in this game.

I'd be fine if we had SEAT back. Any Spanish car to go with Catalunya would be nice.

 

[sparkytooth]

GTA Spano would be neat, viper engined cars are a secret pleasure of mine.

 

[SDSPOWER01]

The naming method on the picture would suggest not.

It states that this is the GP (Grand Prix) Layout.

There was a reply to it in Japanese and when I hit translation on that one it said course. The original Kaz tweet translated to courses.

It doesn't mean I expect more that the F1 layout of the track.

By courses I believe Kazunori is refering to the different layouts of the Catalunya track not another track, people will make up what they want to believe like another new track but in these times of day and has happened quite a few times already Kazunori is reffering to the layouts as 'courses'.

If I am wrong I will do a 10 hour endurance race on the nurburgring with the fiat 500 .




I am just kidding theres no way in HELL I would do that!!!

 

[TomBrady]

Why would they use those stupid Red Bull cars in the race instead of the Merc F1? The Red Bull's okay but frankly the Merc is so much more enjoyable to drive and more relevant

That Red Bull daily race at the Red Bull ring was completely ruined by people being able to cut the track. If you didn't take short cuts you were at least 2 seconds slower. Ruined what would've been a great week of daily races. Screw that car.

Because it was a Nations race. The F1 Merc can't be personalized with liveries for each country. Also, the X2014 was created on a partnership between PD and RBR, which means it doesn't exist in any other game. A Final on a live event is a good way to promote / show something exclusive. The Merc is not that special...especially if everyone is driving one. Would make PD look silly.

The Falcon race car from GT4, standard in 5 and 6, would be cool to have in Sport. Always liked that car. Seat is pretty obscure to most people, but I've actually done a Seat livery or two on the gr4 VW. They make a good looking race car.

None of that really contributed anything to this thread, but wanted to put my two cents in.

First half of your comment makes sense. Though I'm sure PD could create liveries for each country for the merc as well.

But the second half of your comment is ridiculous frankly. The Merc isn't that special???? It's a championship winning F1 car, that's not that special?

Also, we're talking about a race where everyone is driving the exact same car, yet you have an issue with using the Merc as an alternative because everyone would be using the same car. Do you even logic bro?

And using a real world, championship winning F1 car would make PD look silly, but using a concept car that has never been made let alone driven for a FIA sanctioned competition wouldn't be silly? Wow

Only at

Honestly I have no idea why PD continues to ignore V8 Supercars and DTM, yet we continue to cars no one cares about and ones that are just older/newer versions of cars we already have.

This is why I think it's idiotic to complain about the number of cars in a racing game. It's the quality and variety that matters far more than overall numbers.

 

[VeeDoubleU]

Well, no. If PD haven't given us the opportunity to create liveries for the Merc, then that means there is a very strong licensing agreement in place. Meaning custom liveries couldn't be made at all.

The Merc isn't that special???? It's a championship winning F1 car, that's not that special?

For Gran Turismo, it isn't that special. It is a 2017, not even 2018, Formula 1 car, and there is already the F1 eSports series. Surely Polyphony should be doing their own stuff rather than an outdated F1 one-make when there is a multi-team 2018 variant already existing?

Obviously Polyphony should showcase stuff more related to their game.

And yes, it is the Red Bull X2014 but that is the most modern version before you try to be clever.

Also, you randomly posted how the X2014 Daily Race at Red Bull Ring was ruined by cutting, and then blamed the car? Lol what. It is because the track boundaries are incredibly poor at that track. That has nothing to do with the car. Be rational.

 

[sparkytooth]

I don't think whether or not they used the X2014 made the race any less fun to watch, it was a really fun race with tons of battles from beginning to end.

If you take the sentence off its context, it may sounds ridiculous. If you're honest, it isn't. Because I didn't say the Merc is not special in itself.

I was comparing the exclusiveness of the X2014 car with the Merc, which is present in other games and it's not that different from all the other F1 cars from the past in other games.

I don't think it's that silly to use the RBR. Are you aware F1 teams have been known for creating virtual versions of their cars and parts for drivers to test on simulators, before actually building them for following seasons?

If PD had used the 2000hp version of the Red Bull X, a Chaparral VGT or a Tomawak, sure, it would be a bit silly. But the car and specs they used with the RBR X2014 are very close to those of an F1 car.

I just don't think having 10 drivers racing with Hamilton's car would look good. Especially when F1 (the game) has also eSports events and they have all the F1 cars in the grid for each season.

Opinions, I guess.

Also, we're not "bros".

 

[coryclifford]

@TomBrady if you drive the two back to back, I'd say the X2014 is much easier to drive. And that's good for closer racing.

 

[sparkytooth]

The race was good, what car was used didn't matter.

 

[philipPF]

Question, is it any material somewhere of the new circuit in-game ? I can't find anything on youtube, I believed that some FIA races was on this new track this weekend ?

EDIT : found one video, here it is



The track is really nice, nothing specially awesome in the landscapes / surroundings, but there is a strong "real F1 circuit" feeling and I love it

 

[eAxis Patohm]

The track is not released yet, ist the F1 Track (Barcelona)

Regaring the car: It is very clever to use the Redbull car in this Event. Not only because of optic, livery and GTSport exclusive, but also, because specs can (and were) adjusted!

You cannot adjust the F1 specs, so everone can Train in Advance - the REdbull Car you have seen PD used Spec, which could not be replicated in the retail Version of the Game! The track was also not available! So complete Fresh start for the FINAL RACE for everyone! I like the idea!

Look at lap times (low 1:29 for best in Europe) you cannot build the exact same specs ingame, just like the RedBull Ring Race at the Austrian Event

 

[DonZmeuheu]

Ok...I must say I'm satisfied now. Since the last update my Fanatec Wheel works now with GTS perfect. I'm thankfull for the great content that PD implement and for all the great updates. The Penalty system now works also fine for me. And yes you make me happy that Maserati is back. Please made a Gr.3 and Gr.4 version of the Gran Turismo. The Ghibli S Q4 we need to. But when you wanna see me making backflips....please add the Maserati Birdcage Hope that the american track will be Sebring or Road Atlanta

 

[GTR365]

Not to mention it’ll be a good track in pretty much every category. Seriously, I use it for almost all my multi-class combos I can come up with in Project CARS 2.

As an topical aside, which multi-class formats have you tried? Which have been most enjoyed?

 

[MisterWaffles]

As an topical aside, which multi-class formats have you tried? Which have been most enjoyed?

Most recently, RX Lites > GT3 > Formula B

Some actual good ones are

Group 4 > Group 5 > Group 6
TC1 > GT3 > LMP1
GT4 > GT3 > LMP2 > LMP1
Formula C > Formula Renault > Formula A > Formula X
Ferrari F355 Series > GTO > LMP900

 

[GTR365]

To me the most surprising thing about this reveal is ... most GT players are also into real life racing?

See what you have started? Now masses of GT players are Google searching Blancpain & WTCC.

... the ones you do are shown at 3:00am in the morning.

I would add to this that races which are shown sometimes are delayed nearly until that series next round of competition. I miss SpeedTV.

 

[Sportmats]

I don't like at all the way this game is going. It goes more and more to the very boring track-racing and not so much towards Rallye and rallycross that it is much more fun than this. It seems that the dev-team are F1-nerds. Too bad. It would been fun and great if they could add more tracks on gravel and mud and snow. Why not the swedish rallye for example?

Buy Dirt Rally and soon you can buy Dirt Rally 2.0. Hope that makes you happy

But the F1-enthusiasts can buy F1 2018 in that case... There are already an F1-game out there, why is Gran Turismo trying to do another one, when there are no need for it? BTW it would be great to have more city courses aswell. I remember driving in New York, Paris and Hong Kong in previous Gran Turismo games.

I really don't understand why you compare GTS to F1 2018? Bu that's another story. Only wanna mention that Sweden you can drive in Dirt Rally and maybe that makes you happy.

I compare it due to there are more boring F1-tracks added to GTS for each update than other courses.

I don't like where FIFA 2019 is going. That goes more and more to soccer. I would like to be able to play hockey in that game.
