UPDATE: Gran Turismo Sport's Next Update Arrives May 30, With Goodwood Circuit

[GTFan24]

Friendly reminder: There were month(s?) where we got cars-only updates with no new track.

Not really because even in that update where we only had the Supra, we still ended up getting a completely new track

 

[J.D]

looks like they run out off new cars we won't get many new cars in the upcoming updates

I’ve never played other GT titles. What’s the fascination with Grand Valley and Autumn Ring? Are they seriously good tracks or are people living off nostalgia?

It’s like being 25 years old and screaming I can’t sleep, I want my teddy bear.

In a world of original tracks how can you look past Maggiore, Yamagiwa + and DT Gardens. These are exceptional.

Checks in to see what the update is. Thinks "cool, another track."

Reads the rest of the thread and sees most everyone else wielding torches and pitchforks.

Bit of both I think, they are great tracks, Grand Valley Speedway in particular would be very nostalgic but I think would really suit Sport mode too, as would Tokyo R246, Special Stage Route 5 or Midfield Raceway.

It's one things PD have always got right, original tracks until Alsace that was.

Well honestly? Autumn Ring Mini was my 1st track i raced when i initially played Gran Turismo so it really holds a special place in my heart ha.
Plus when i actual drove the full Autumn Ring circuit, i used to have so much trouble with it but learning it was a blast.
Personally nothing wrong wanting these old original tracks and i appreciate the new ones (Lago Maggiore is probably my favorite and super happy since it's an italian track)

 

[Beezer215]

I wish we could also see more Lewis Hamilton stuff which they taped a lot but never showed except Nurburgring GP.

I kind of thought he wasn't that impressed. Maybe that's why they didn't release it. Seems like he's just joking around.

Ive done track days there its not very dynamic at all not a patch on oulton or cadwell

knowing Poly, they'll make it smooth with barely and FFB like every other track. I mean Monza is like driving on a pool table in this game and every other sim out there, it's real bumpy.

Yes, they're seriously good tracks. Why do you think Deep Forest is Kaz's favorite track out of the whole series?
I would probably try out at least GT6 if I were you and see what they are all about. GT5 would do as well. If you wanted to go back to PS2, then GT4.

“We don’t have any cars to play on this new track.”

 

[HopAlong]

One thing I've picked op on over the years is that real racing drivers and race fans have the complete opposite opinion to non race fan car enthusiasts who only know tracks through games/other non racing media. I just don't get the love for COTA, Catalunya, Hungaroring, Yas Marina and the quick dismissal of national tracks that aren't as well known to the casual audience.

Goodwood reminds me of Thruxton, a track that is considered a proper driver and bravery circuit. A circuit where even modern racecars will be drifting through the high speed constant cornering sections. Somewhere like COTA has never had a good race and everything slower than a 2017 spec LMP2 looks lost on track. Goodwood will be suited really well to everything Gr4 and under. The cars also look so much more interesting and exciting compared to seeing historic cars lap Laguna.

Goodwood is certainly more exiting to watch a car go round, I reckon like Thruxton, its one of only a handful of circuits

Goodwood should provide a challenge to master with is non constant radius corners and that it is a high average speed momentum circuit. It should also be "race-able" unlike Catalunya, Nordschelife and Autopolis, with their near impossible overtaking opportunities. The track also has many lines through corners unlike Spa. Spa has lost its challenge with improvements to cars and "grade oneification". Goodwood will be fun slipstreaming in under powered stuff, a challenge in performance cars and low end racecars and in a SF or LMP1 it will be like driving Limerock Park in a RB X2014.

Also just because a track is famous or well known doesn't automatically make it good. The modern F1/WEC circuits are well known but IMSA has a much more interesting schedule. Silverstone is the most famous track in the UK, yet Oulton Park, Thruxton, Croft, Donnington and Knockhill seem to come up more when domestic pro drivers are asked about favourite circuits.

Don't agree technical equals better, no doubt they can fun to drive, but from a racing stand point they can be very poor. Monaco is more interesting to drive than Silverstone National, but I know which I'd rather see racing at. Just as Church Corner (Thruxton) is far more interesting that the Melco Hairpin (Macau).

I just don't get how people aren't willing to give it a chance, its new content for a game which still has a poor amount.

 

[golfer07840]

Maybe 'finished' was a bad word to use, maybe this game was 'finished' at release date but that didn't mean it had anywhere near the amount of content that we were expecting or should've been getting, they did add a few tracks to start off with there is no long term playability with this game.

My frustrations with PD go with more depth than the free content we get is. All this free content is just papering over the cracks when the spine of the game is a mess. This free content is just something to please people for a month and then they'll get bored of it again. Sport Mode which is meant to be the bread and butter of this game is a mess. There are 100s more problems than what content we do or don't get, I'd rather not get the content with the game in its current state. Maybe half of you that are that excited over it don't play sport mode and that's fine, you're allowed to be excited in the same way that I'm allowed to be pissed off over a game which HAD enormous potential but it just being pissed away. Everything PD do is always half done, they always give us something but never the top end of what they can give us.

Oh and btw I know SSRX is original from GT6, that was the only positive I took from that track coming, I thought we were going to have more original tracks from GT games. But no, that track has no constantly playabilty in the same way that Goodwood will be done within a month. How can people be excited about that track coming? We could've had Laguna Seca, Road America, Silverstone, or whatever Original track you would care for coming, but no we get the Goodwood Circuit, a circuit that only hosts novelty races and you expect me to be happy about it? Trust me I was happy with the updates they brought out last year but their efforts recently have been slacking

 

[TrafficEmpire]

So a thought. Through May, we're at 24 cars and 3 new tracks (X, Autopolis, Goodwood). That averages out to about 5 cars a month and a track every other month. I think that might be a good point of evaluation here forward, it definitely seems like things are slowing down with Sport.

I just had a look at Grand Valley, looks like fun.
Autumn ring, jury is out.

Just splashed 15$ for a second hand copy GT6 on eBay to see what all the fuss is about.

Giving the car guys time off may mean the track guys have been doing overtime. Could it mean a multiple track update? There are no plurals in Japanese so track could mean tracks.

 

[evldave333]

Level 50 in 6 monthes?? Without the Nurb 24H mazda roadster money trick ?? Or wall riding at BMB ?? It's very hard to do but if you did , congrats for this performance.

Did a whole lot of grinding which was kinda pointless as most cars were subsequently awarded free as daily bonus in the long run... got a free p4 after purchasing it a few days earlier arrrgghhh lol

 

[Atwork]

I would love to believe Kaz gave a bunch of people the month off, but in reality I am sure they are still working and struggling to even hit a 5 car target now (for this game at least).

Don't believe the lies!!!

I doubt it is a struggle I am sure most all of this is a plan, it is just that you do not know or understand it.

Kaz can do some annoying things but GT players are far worse.

When the FIA season is over we will find out if the game is done until then the free content will keep on coming.

How could you possibly be so annoyed?

 

[Scuderia Paul]

As with every new circuit I will be taking my Toyota TS050 Hybrid around for a few laps. After that it is time for the Aston Martin DB3S, Shelby Daytona Coupe and Ferrari 330 P4.

Grand Valley (pre GT4 version) is simply perfect: perfect width, layout, scenery and the 300km at Grand Valley is the most iconic event of GT. The new original tracks tend to have too many long straigths and are often too wide.

Grand Valley alone is BY FAR better than everything you listed. I have been a GT player since Day 1 and the new fantasy tracks just do not compare to PD fantasy tracks of old. Sorry if you disagree.

It would seem at this point we've reached apex

Great post.

UK club circuits far better to drive than most tedious GP tracks. What’s more, these tracks offer a great challenge and sense of speed in modest machinery.

 

[urmie]

Wow, a new track, color me interested. I'd like to see which times of day will be offered. Hope night is in.

 

[PoSM]

I am, I eat everything in sight and then awkwardly dissappear when they ask who did it. Kaz's house is just another tuesday

I always take a 6-pack of the cheapest, ****tiest beer then drink all the good stuff.

 

[Satomiblood]

Not disappointed in Goodwood.

I’d like those British tracks you’ve mentioned get added to GT Sport ahead of SPA in future updates.

 

[GTFan24]

Let me just say this, the last corner in this track looks ridiculous, 0 space whatsoever for an overtake

 

[z71L28]

Happy and excited about this track! Yesssssssssssssss! another real world circuit. keep um coming PD thanx.

 

[Formidable]

Let me just say this: I think we get the point that you don't like the track very much

It's not the last update of the game. There'll certainly be more updates in the future with tracks that most people would probably want. It's just a matter of when, really.

 

[WJHMH]

Awesome, looking forward to the new update.

 

[HERE4BEER3]

What are the odds pd completely reworks tire wear this update? Hahahahahaha
