I figured it out by accident about a year ago. Just copy and paste the URL up there in the address bar on the page you would like to link to.

I am more hyped about this game than I was for any Granturismo game!

I think PD and Kaz is just as hyped as you are

 

[Xiamoto]

I will be one of the first to buy this sim!

So the California coast thing, how many miles is that? To me, that would be like an epic cruising road since I can't afford to drive any of these cars in real life!

21km IIRC

 

[Marqus]

Zahara sized!

 

[GranTurismo guy]

Zahara sized!

What makes the size factor even more wet-your-pants exciting is that this circuit actually has tight twisty corners.

And if you think that's too much awesomeness, we haven't even mentioned azure coast yet.......

Ahhhhhhh. I can imagine he could want this even more.

if you have socks on

Why does no one who uses a wheel wear shoes? Like literally no one.

Because unless you have actual racing shoes that have a really thin sole, socks are the next best thing in terms of feeling the pedals and being precise with them. Or being barefoot but thats for squares.

No one drives the real thing in socks though. I'd personally just wear shoes if I had a wheel, after all I couldn't see me driving even a real car with racing shoes at all.

Trust me dude it feels a lot more comfortable and more importantly precise with socks, real racing shoes (if you have them), and/or your bare feet rather than shoes. I've tried with my standard skate shoes and I often find my self applying too much or too little throttle due to a lack of feeling.

But that's exactly like real life. You're paying a few hundred for a steering wheel in the name of simulation, surely choosing not to wear shoes defeats the purpose?

A sock is closer to the real feeling of a racing shoe than a regular shoe would be, buying real racing shoes would be the best option I suppose.

 

[Punknoodle]

In an every day regular vehicle it doesn't matter, on the track when you are trying to be precise then yes, it does. No professional race driving gets done in regular shoes. I drive my work van in my steel capped work boots and it's no problem. I've never even tried driving my GT-Four in work boots, even in running shoes I find it difficult to drive it, I have some thin-soled shoes when I drive it normally.

This, basically what I've been trying to say.

 

[Soulfresh_ACV]

Apologies and I'm sure someone would have asked this questions before...

Anyone know if the point-to-point courses in PCars based on real roads or they are purely fictional?

And are all real life tracks laser-scanned or only some?

I drive with Havaianas (Flip Flops/Thongs). Not sure how much it feels like racing shoes but hell feels comfortable and no better ventilation. I guess it's an Aussie thing lol

I guess i was a little too cryptic. I was actually referring to "knocking your socks off" because the video was so awesome.
And I wear slippers when I drive not socks.

 

[Wolfe]

@GranTurismo guy -- My G25's pedals are a little too closely spaced for me to race effectively in shoes. They're also not terribly high effort, the only feedback is the spring, and if you don't have a dedicated setup they're liable to be kicked out of position. Shoes mute any immersion there is to be had.

Why would anything not true to life "defeat the purpose" of a wheel, anyway? It's just another type of controller.

 

[ron24]

i found mens speedo swim shoes at wal-mart that the soals are alot like racing shoes. they work great with my clubsport pedals. great feel, not much thicker then socks.

like these.

Driving with flip flops here in Germany is forbidden (as much as I know)

Firstly, let me just say: That was some Amazing Driving, the level concentration that must be maintained is nuts.

Second: Im not too crazy about all that sun glare, its just too much IMHO, I understand they are going for realism but I can’t even see the track at times, but I must say again, you did an amazing job staying on course.

 

[GTspace]

Yes I believe you can I'll double check though

Thanks! Appreciate the input.
