This isn't a troll comment: but tell me what's wrong with the tyre model. I am genuinely curious as it is often mentioned as a deficiency of GTS on this forum.

Familiar with the phrase 'you don't hear the faucet that doesn't leak'?

99% of GT players get along with the game just fine. But that 1% who have projected their discontent onto silly things like 'the tire model' are all going to congregate in one place.
 
Thanks PD for another FREE update :D, love all the cars and SSRX is actually fun to race on surprisingly, I used it a bit in GT6 but it looks really nice in Sport good job. :cheers:
Route X was my track with more mileage in the statistic until the GT Academy arrives in Sarthe...
 
Lol I'm somehow so saddened how many posts got moved in this thread from the original one regarding the speculation of this update but it seems that's the way it is, as the update has been released already. And it's only been two days, yet this thread is already on page 24. Lmao
 
The vast majority of updates to this game have been about everything EXCEPT Sport mode. How about you deal with it.

That's exactly what I meant with my 2nd paragraph. I'm a part of the old guard as well, but the ratio of Sport-related to non-Sport-related content (mainly cars) is something I find very troubling. It's about time we got a brand new, proper GT3, GT4 or LMP1 race car. The M3 GT2, Renault Megane and Group C cars are great and add variety, but we need something like the Bentley GT3 or Maserati GT4, and we needed it yesterday.

I like every car in this update. Not for one second would I have seen Route X coming back. Positive 1. It is a returning track. 2. It is different to any other track in the game 3. I'm out of positives.

Route X opens the floodgates for original GT tracks to come back. A lot of people here want Trial Mountain and Deep Forest, but I'm going on a different route here and hope for Grand Valley. Its Speedway layout should prove to be the ultimate Sport Mode challenge.
 
My brief thoughts and opinions on the cars. (With the exception of the Aston cause I’m not rich enough.)
Tuscan: first car I drove. Got one with a black interior so my eyes don’t go blind. Very fast car, especially on the straights. Not the easiest street car to drive, but not the hardest either. My favourite car in the pack
Z8: feels like the tvr, but heavier. Beautiful styling and glorious sound of the amazing engine. A good one.
Dc2: My favourite FWD streetcar in the game. Sure it understeers, but it still handles really amazing. Glorious sound aswell. Love old school Honda’s.
Z33: While another good one, it’s more of an understeer type of car I feel. I still prefer the Z32 just like I always did on how it looks and drives. If however you don’t like the Z32, you may like this one far better.
Dino 246: Beautiful car. Was always one of my favourite Ferraris, but it seems way harder to drive than I remember. To me, this one’s the hardest to drive in the pack. Ah well. Still a good one, don’t get me wrong
356: Really fun car to drive, and I would imagine, race. I was pretty much expecting the ultimate RR, n100 car from the 40s-60s, and I got more than that. Nice little car to drive!
Gt350: The biggest pleasant surprise of the pack. While I was initially dissatisfied it wasn’t the gt350r version we first saw on GT4, my disappointment faded away as I drove this. It handles and brakes really good for an old American car. Easily the best driving old American road car in the game.
These are just my first impressions of most of the cars, so they may change.
Overall, I like all of them a lot. Pretty strong choices!
 
Just an FYI... using a Gr.1 McLaren VGT on the SSRX arcade race it does a 4'50" lap with a 400km/h gearbox and dropped height and low aero.

Its BoP'ed so I think 888hp.

It's bearable I guess. I mean a GT3 car would be snooze worthy around here.
 
Don't know if anyone else ran into this...
I wanted to save my game Credits for the 10,000,000 car...
So Instead of Using Game credits, i purchased the cheaper cars through the PS Store Via In Game Purchases..
The Money was deducted from my PSN wallet, but GTS never added the Cars to My Garage..
I bought 7 cars from Brand Central, before finding out, they were not added to my Garage.

I spent close to 3 hours with the PS Store support, with 3 different techs, and Finally a Supervisor..
before I was issued a refund...
Went through Many different steps to try and get the cars to show up..
Deactivated my PS4, reActivated my PS4, redownload my License, Power down, go to safe mode, Rebuild the Database..
Nothing worked to get the cars to show up.

The Last thing they wanted me to do, was to Delete the Entire Game off the Console, and Delete my saved progress and re-Download it again..
I told them I was not going to do that.
That it was a Store Error.. The Store Sent the Purchase to the Game, but it Sent a Quantity of Zero, as the Number of Items Purchased.
Instead of the normal 1 item as the Quantity Purchased.

It's a PSN Store issue, not a GT Sport Issue.

The Supervisor sent me the Link to the Gran Turismo Game Forum, and Said to Open a Support ticket with The Game Developer there.
I told him PDI does not Have a Supoort Forum.. It's all Gmers, Helping Gamers there..
there is NO PDI support on the Forums..

He said that was the Only Support they could offer..

After discussing this back and Forth, I finally got refunded for the 7 cars.

Here are the Two Videos I made Showing the Issue..
The Store Sent the Cars, but sent them as a Quantity of 0 ( Zero ) So there is No Car to add to the garage.
when you Acquire a car ticket that has a Quantity of Zero, that is what you Get, Nothing is added to your Garage.

The Store took the funds for the Purchase, notified the Game of the Purchase, but sent the Quantity Purchased as Zero.



After talking to the 3rd tech, I decided to Prove to them that it was a store issue..
I made a Purchase of the TransAm to Show what the Purchase should look like..

Here is that Video


I sent both Links to the Supervisor and was told they are not allowed to follow links.
and could Not go View them..

But in the End I was refunded...
in case this Happens to you...

You Get the Car on the Brand Central List of Purchased cars, but it has a Quantity of Zero.

dude.. that is a very troublesome situation, it’s hard for you.
 
Ugggh. Did the VGT race on SSRX in the Nissan yesterday. What a borefest...

Yeah, I know, FREE update, people like this track, I should get help because I probably have a severe mental condition if I don't like the update... But come on :(. It feels like having the dwg wheel for tracks that had Spa, Sebring and Deep Forest on it and of course, the wheel of misfortune chose SSRX.
 
So, it’s 18 January....The Grand Tour Season 3 its starting, but its also time to begin of what update 1.33 we will bring us. Forgiving cars and tracks I really hope all the museums will be updated, the game is also cool for that reason, you can learn cars evolution. Really hope Alfa Romeo museum will come soon...
 
Oh, PD. You cads...


Also had the Alfa TZ in my DWG, but the disco light stopped on the Z8.


How familiar. The moment you see the Raptor among these three expensive cars, you know immediately you're gonna win the damn Ford

I tried driving the Nissan at some point, but didn't get any handicap bonus, but for sure it's fast enough to get the job done.

VGT cars are all Gr.X, so no handicap bonuses =(
 
I finally get my car in game, well my sister car I have a g35. Some of the others are cool. I do not really care about the special route but for it says pd in not opposed to bringing back old school fantasy tracks. I would like more old fantasy tracks perhaps updated depending on the track. I loved the updated apricot hill in reverse in gt 6. Who does not like spa, but I can race there on various other games, deep forest etc is only happening with pd.
 
VERY INSULTING POST DUDE. iF YOU DONT LIKE THE TRACK THEN FAIR ENOUGH BUT TO SAY IT ATTRACTS 'CERTAIN TYPES OF PLAYERS' IS A TAD CONDESCENDING. Test track is exactly what it says it is. There are some people who like to know what top speeds their cars will do given a certain horsepower or what setups give the best acceleration times. This track is for anybody that wants to test their cars in both straight-line speed and acceleration. I don't see anything wrong with that!

Capslock.

Condescending is calling others dudes when you don't even know them or even drive with them. I'm not your dude.

What's wrong with certain types of players? Is it condescending that you are very much interested in top speed and acceleration on a 30km track?

I don't think it's condescending to go off-road, to do drifting, but yeah whatever floats your boat ofc, even if you want to press throttle for a 30km long lap.

But saying this track is needed to test straight-line speed and acceleration is flawed tbh, because there ain't no such circuits with such a long straight. It's pure fantasy purpose imo.

Only reason they've included this track, is probably to see how a former fictional GT track on previous platform does on a PS4 with the GTS engine and how it is appreciated by the players. Could be a sign for future updates. Don't see this track gets included in the FIA races tbh.
 
Route X in a TVR, even PSVR doesn't make it that interesting.


Sure, if the PSVR cable was longer, you could go make a sandwich while driving on this one :)

Sadly, it would have been a good track in VR if we could have multiple opponents, because you got a lot of time available to look around, and to the cars on your left/right, especially on one make races where everyone goes to the same speed
