Pikes peak Hill Climb is "probably" returning to Gran Turismo (partnership announced)

[RACECAR]

I am confused. What do you mean?

That's not the same video that was posted. That's from 2014, hence why there is no GT logo on the bottom.

Thanks for the clarification. I copied the video URL directly from the site, not from YouTube. The site did not state when the original upload date was. http://www.ppihc.com/

Well then I'm just going to assume this is legit and I'm expecting a Pikes Peak event to be added this June.

To quell the hype, sponsorship does not mean inclusion in the game.

Nor does it rule out the possibility of it actually being implemented in game

That is also true, but it is better to not expect anything and be pleasantly surprised when things get added than to expect everything and always be disappointed.

Seems silly for a video game to sponsor something and then not utilize it in the game. We've all wondered why we've got those Pikes Peak cars anyway.

Yeah, I really enjoy being able to play the full D1GP season and the entire VLN series as well in Gran Turismo. That content inclusion made a huge difference.

Not really the same.

There are several suitable circuits comparable to those used for VLN, and drifting is a thing in the game, if not actually implemented to D1GP "rules".

No single circuit in the game comes close to the kind of challenge presented at Pikes Peak, a challenge which "Pikes Peak cars" are engineered specifically to deal with. In addition, a hill climb or general point-to-point mode (course maker) would be great for any car.

Which is why I'm so disappointed by Sierra. There is no real challenge to each time extension point. Even in a practice.

 

[05XR8]

delete.

 

[sparkytooth]

Pikes Peak would be brilliant

 

[Zlork]

I think the circuit will be present in Gran Turismo.

PoDi didn't add "Pike Peak" cars and didn't become a partner for anything

I've been saying this since GT5.....glad to see at least one other person has the same philosophy. 👍

+1, how can Gran Turismo partner Pike's Peak without including the hillclimb in the game?

If it's in, and that's a big IF. It will have rolling starts downhill probably.

Like soapbox racing, or..?

No doubt I'm doing that in a Shelby GT500 if that's so.

While the sponsorship deal it's encouraging, there is absolutely no reason to believe Pikes Peak will be included in GT5 in the June 2015 timeframe. It may be planned for GT7, and the sponsorship deal just helped get the ball rolling for access to the event and licensing. I'm as excited as everybody to gave Pikes Peak return to Gran Turismo, but I'm not getting my hopes up until there is an official announcement that it is coming in the form of a free GT6 update, paid GT6 DLC, GT7 content, or a GT7 update/DLC. I also accept the possibility that it will never come.

Kaz said, "big update, coming soon". You never know

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Kaz also said a lot of other things that haven't happened yet. I myself tend to take anything that man says nowadays with a grain of salt.

As for Pikes Peak, I never really paid that much attention to it until it was featured on an episode of "Fast and Loud". Kinda got my curiosity up after that....looks like fun. 👍

 

[CTznOfTime]

I miss the GT2 version, but i am going to go out on a limb is say that the 2015 Pikes Peak version will be given to us at the same time as the event going live.

Kaz has probably already sent people (or is sending people right now) to scan the new all paved Pikes Peak version.

They have given us new track with much less partnership (...wink wink Bathurst ).

Maybe ...



MAYBE EVEN THAT THE Pikes Peak will be made .... using the new upcoming GPS system ?!?!

I haven't read any of the previous page of this thread, so sorry if i am repeating something that someone already said... but i think Making Pikes Peaks using the COURSE MAKER GPS systems would be the ultimate form of success...


Anyone on bord of this new CHooo Chooo ?

I am the driver.

 

[gambleboyen]

Pikes peak in GT7?

Wasn't there supposed to be a Bathurst 12H seasonal? That didnt happen.

 

[Aussie_HSV]

Touring car battle in the latest Quickmatch events.

 

[NightHawkFur]

If they add Pikes Peak, I hope they'll include a "non-tarmac" version of the past.

 

[alex1369]

I dont think we will get Pikes Peak, i mean seriously did we ever got something that has to do with rally?
There are like 3 rally races in GT6, so im sure it will be zero in GT7.
Id rather have some other classic track than rally, cuz rally is dead in this game

 

[GT5 Level 41]

Inclusion of the GT logo on the official 2015 course map is encouraging.

 

[SSQES]

GT7 logo????

Pikes Peak International Hillclimb is a Hillclimb, not a Rally. We get the Goodwood Hill Climb? And besides that, it's all Tarmac now so it's not even a dirt event.
