The little things that make you LOVE GT SPORT.

I've been used to seeing flypasts at the start of races, but hadn't expected Polyphony to put in one from the legendary Red Arrows during today's FIA lobbies:

To say I was surprised and excited to find this in the 16:00 and 17:20 slots is an understatement. I wonder how many other real-life display teams are featured during the race countdown sequences?

Frecce Tricolori flew over Lago Maggiore last time.

Exhaust pops and crackles = true love.

I hit a barrier at the docks on Tokyo Expwy. My driver's side yellow headlight cover/film is broken, leaving the passenger side headlight in tact. More points for PD's attention to such details.

Edit. JUst noticed, the hit even took the paint off the bonnet latch!

Motion pro controls for ds4 have made this game so much more immersive for people like me who don’t have the space for a rig setup.
The lighting in replays and race photos is sublime.
The structure of the fia races, it must be the largest organised racing event ever.
Exhaust sounds and flames when following another car closely.
Being able to flash lights, indicators, wipers etc.
Car interiors.
Much love for this game!

After my first race in GTS, I started watching the replay, and was in awe how I'm almost watching Eurosport... but it's me on the screen.

It does look like tv, especially if you go into the photo mode at the very beginning of the race then back to the replay, all the driver names disappear from above the cars.
I think the only improvement they could make is the camera didn’t follow “your” car so much so you could see more of the race around you.
Replays and photos are my favourite thing in GTS.

A previous iteration had this as an option in the replay. GT3 maybe?

Good that you can change what car you follow so you can get another view on the race too.

I've always been a big fan of watching replays in Gran Turismo but instantly felt a bit let down by how the replays in GT Sport "felt" compared to past titles, and then I noticed something: If you go into the replay settings and switch the camera mode to "dynamic", it makes a big difference imo and brings back that "TV feel" I got from past GTs.

Not strictly a little thing in GT Sport, but spotted it via the game. If you zoom into the top left hand corner of the Monza pits scape location (and I still can’t remember why I did!) the little brackets that support the frame above the garages all have the track map etched into them. I presume this holds advertising/pit users names during races so wouldn’t even normally be seen!

Interesting find! Thank you for sharing it. The detail put into this game is amazing.

By any chance, could you share the link to those excellent Audi VGT liveries? I’d love to equip them on mine.

 

[Taxrik]

That’s very kind of you to say. You can find the black (far) version (and variations thereof) if you search for ‘racehome’ in liveries as it was an entry for that competition but as such it has my name over the door and my ‘mascot decals’ on it in places. But you’ll also find some really good e-tron liveries under that tag too amongst the other entries.

The nearer ‘splinter’ livery is yet to be uploaded as it needs some tweaks before it’s ready but will also be an entry for the same comp so will be under the same tag, probably early next week.

You have a video?

No. But next time there is a FIA on Lago Maggiore they will be there again

This morning while doing practice laps on DT Seaside, I just pulled over and looked at the clouds over the mountains for a while.

Can't find a good picture of it but over these mountains in Nation Cup practice.

Cockpit view in the RX-Vision GT3 Concept: Behind the drivers right hand is a coiled umbilical cord connecting the steering wheel to the dashboard. When you turn the cord moves too.

There’s a couple of GT cars that do that. Another one where it’s really visible is the newer Nissan GT-R GT500.

 

[Taxrik]

The way that cord in the GTR GT500 bounces around as you drive, when I first saw it I thought ‘oh, that’s just showing off’!

 

[Groundfish]

First time you’re in the kart cockpit at Tsukuba in late day and see how cool your shadow looks through turns 3 and 4.

When players drive themselves off the track after trying to pass you around the outside of turn 1 of Suzuka, and then proceeding to blame you becasue you "moved left" on the straight even though there was more than a car width haha.

Nope, I love it when people start blaming me for their own incompetence haha.

Still waiting to see this "recording" he told me he had

Seeing the tyre flex on the fia manu replay

 

[Kermit_2142]

Le Mans with no chicane - the camber changes on the long straight really pull the car around, super cool 👍👍
