Update Next Week - October 31

[Ares85]

Well, anyway, looking forward to "B-Spec" racing again

I like that idea.

 

[Interstellar9]

Cars are as following:

Mazda 2 / Demio
Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 AMG Race Car
Porsche Taycan
Lamborghini Aventador SV

It’s great to see an update with entirely new-to-the-series content. Hopefully Spa Francorchamps is included as well.

Which of them are new to the series apart from the Taycan?

 

[Stephan]

Which of them are new to the series apart from the Taycan?

The Merc 300 SEL, Aventador SV and the Mazda 2 (if you count updated versions of an existing premium from GT6).

 

[Quakebass]

Which of them are new to the series apart from the Taycan?

All of them?

We’ve had Demios before but not any this modern.

 

[Cayit]

we'll see...

I cant believe what I've been reading. All expenses paid trips to compete in places as diverse as Monaco, NYC and Tokyo, with wonderful personal exposure and seeing things before the public get to see them is exploitation? Those poor sim drivers must feel so under the cosh...

It would be a dream come true if this happened to me.

These people are having their dreams fullfilled but somehow people think its exploitation.

Don't mind him all he does is complain and complain since he joined .

Good to hear. Thank you to you both!

The Mazda 2/Demio isn't an updated version of the GT6 car. That was a Ford Fiesta-based model, this is the newer Mazda-own platform.

I can't tell how new from the silhouette, but it is the current generation car.

Nice to know about that. Thought it was like a successor of some sorts for the car that existed back in GT6.

The overall shape is similar ('cos B-segment hatchback), but you can see the "Kodo" nose at the front - basically Mazda-speak for how Mazdas have looked since 2012. That essentially started at when Ford stopped being the majority shareholder in Mazda; Mazda threw tons of money into new design and technology and platforms for its own cars (the "SkyActiv" stuff), rather than rebadged Fords.

That came to the 2 a little later than some other models - the first was the CX-5 (new model) in 2012, then the 6/Atenza (succeeding the Mondeo-based 6) later in the year, then the 3/Axela (succeeding the Focus-based 3) in 2013. The 2/Demio was next, replacing the Fiesta-based 2, in late 2014 in Japan and early 2015 everywhere else, before the 2-based CX-3 (new model) in 2015.

We're starting to roll into the second generation of Kodo right now, with the CX-5 and 3 both replaced in the last 12 months.

 

[LR-MR-Cole]

Obviously it is - I posted it.

But note how my opinion isn't telling people who have fun with one type of car and not another that their idea of fun is wrong and they should go play a different game... while yours is.

Enjoy your Tundra and have a nice day

 

[Darla Starch]

Oh no, someone did NOT just diss Tundra BIG BOYE racing.

Anyway, weirdly looking forward to Red Pig the most.

The tree’s and foliage at Spa really look a step above other tracks. Particularly tracks launched with the game. Great trackside detail too.

Can’t imagine how good it will look in the rain. Will be daunting to drive.

Keep in mind the hardware that runs GTS at these events isn’t a PS4 (Pro). It looks noticeably better than a retail version of the game.

 

[queleuleu]

No.

I just want to drive my tuned R34 at Autumn Ring or Midfield Raceway I don't want to sound ungrateful, all these free DLCs is simply amazing (Spa looks gorgeous!).
If only Kaz could say: "No classic tracks this gen". Case closed and I'm ok with that.

 

[05XR8]

Imagine the AMG in Gr.4. Would be like having the McLaren F1 in Gr.3 and Group C cars in Gr.1.

 

[PaMu1337]

Spa is already outdated, it's missing the RX modifications

 

[GTV0819]

I can imagine racing a GR Copen through it only if it was in the game.

 

[05XR8]

(can't believe I'm typing this)Hoping for some Spa Scapes.

 

[ScottPuss20]

I read it that it was delayed too for quality control.

Afterall if PD did something wrong you have people with eagle eyes that can point at a glitch or an inaccuracy with the track itself.

It's for the better really. PD don't want to be releasing a track which is incomplete.

 

[guerriritom40]

Anyone got a clue on which day it will be released? Like a maintenance notice?

 

[Granadier]

Anyone got a clue on which day it will be released? Like a maintenance notice?

I'd venture to guess that it'll come with Tuesday's maintenance.

 

[GiordySays]

This update really captures the essence of Gran Turismo. We have an everyday hatchback, an historic race car, an electric sports sedan and a modern supercar. All of which are making their debut in the series. What more could you ask for?

More race cars

 

[GTPorsche]

I'd venture to guess that it'll come with Tuesday's maintenance.

When has any update come with the routine weekly maintenance?

 

[danhighway]

I'd venture to guess that it'll come with Tuesday's maintenance.

might wanna check the date on that one, chief.

 

[Ande3200]

More race cars

PD can’t please everyone.

 

[FoRiZon]

PD can’t please everyone.

Literally every company or even individual can't please everyone.

Rather ignorant to believe otherwise.
