Update Next Week - October 31

[George Jakob]

Not yet. But e-Tron vs Taycan is a nice start.

Again im sorry but no the E-Tron is on a different league of performance.

Would it really be worse then having Track Day cars either slapped in classes against Road cars who have no hope in keeping up or in GR.X that includes said Electric cars? I can't imagine it being even more nonsensical then a BMW I3 vs the Mercedes W08 EQ Power+.

True but 2 wrong decisions don't make a right.

E-Tron vs. Taycan

Yeah see, this is where my idea of sub classes would work: Not having one-sided face-offs like that,

True but 2 wrong decisions don't make a right (apologies for double post).

Not sure how this would be a wrong decision. It puts a certain type of cars in a far more balanced class with appropriate sub categories as opposed to slapping all Electric cars of varying power levels in a class full of vintage race cars, formula cars, track day cars and VGTs (also of varying power levels). Frankly, GR.X is in general one big wrong decision so I fail to see how this is wrong or even worse then that.​

Yea I understand but the way things are know it would be one sided by default (then again the number of electric cars may increase a lot next year who knows).

MAybe some didn't notice the pic I posted of the SUper Taikyu Demio... it's a diesel. The standard diesel model has less hp than the petrol 1.5, but much more torque. Could be the first diesel model in game since the BMW 120d. We got the Hybrid Fit instead of a normal ICE version. Could be PD's odd choice to again, include a "different" take on giving us a new model.

There might be another but.... Manuel is from Barcelona.

Plot twist: the Mazda is really a Jaguar VGT hot hatch.

On the debate of the Mercedes Benz 300 SEL 6.3 I can pretty much confirm it to be a RACE car variant:
On the quote of @Volksauto

It's neither the stock SEL or the Waxenberger. It's the full on race car for two reasons. 1. It has spotlights which rules out the non AMG model. 2. It does not have a big chrome bumper present which replicates the race car. It's the Red Pig.

There is a 3rd:
You can clearly see a windshield banner.. as far as I am concerned no road car (except if you put one yourself ) has a windshield banner.

So it must the race car:

On the road car itself:

Yes its a 1968 version but it is just to show my point since the 1971 does not look completely different either.

So there you have it...

 

[Silver Arrows]

You can hate GRID 2019 all you want, but when it has more up to date race cars than GTS, there's clearly an issue here

And Codemasters is cutting their games to the bone in terms of launch content to sell back as DLC, enough that most review outlets, even ones that are positive about the game, are pointing it out.

Not exactly the best comparison to make, bud.

to be bored to update an amg to introduce it in group X!

And there you have it, overwhelming and compelling evidence.

And just to REALLY drive it home, here is the 1971 Road car:

Just for anyone that thinks its "Not obvious".

Nice, another Mazda!

I don't know. I'm seeing a bit of this in that pic... it's like the Levin update. I'm torn...

👍

 

[Crazy Taylor]

All I know that is some will be upset withe 300 SL.

 

[StealthVel]

There really isn't. Without even trying I can think of a simple reason. GRID was released 2 years later, so of course it is bound to have more of the up to date race cars.

 

[RACECAR]

Will Be? Seems like they already are and the update isn't even out yet.

 

[wagnerFAM98]

How weird is it if you consider this looks exactly like a Scapes photo?

By the way, welcome home Demio, this name has been with us since GT1.

 

[RACECAR]

And somehow, I hate it far less then I did when I was playing GT1. Then again, I also successfully repressed the memories of the frustrating reason why I hated it so there's that

 

[Ande3200]

Wow an aventador sv bottom right sign me in even the packs are smaller now they have some Amazing cars, can’t Wait for that one. Bottom left is the taycan we already did know that. Top left a Mazda 2 or demio bot sure. Top right is a Classic mercedes not sure what one just yet

 

[VincentVendetta]

The real question is... will it be called the Demio or the Mazda2?

 

[juanffy18]

Why not the electric current cars not go for some N Class.
The I3 is maybe slower than some N100 class, Tesla fit in the N300 or N400, and Taycan too. Those cars have great acceleration but in final speed many of the combustion cars eating them.
Or creating a group called NE Series. Real electric cars.

The real question is... will it be called the Demio or the Mazda2?

Already the car is called Mazda 2 in Japan
https://www.mazda.co.jp/cars/mazda2/?car_id=mazda2
But well the Mazda 6 is called Atenza in GT Sport so i think is Demio.

Mazda DEMIO SPORT '10 in GT6

 

[Rods]

I'm excited for that Mercedes! Another batch of cars that will be useful for photo mode means I'm a happy player 👍

Not excited at all. Won’t be able to afford it hahahah

it also has the same deep dish wheels as the race car, so pretty much confirmed, I’m surprised no one picked up on the deep barrel racing style wheels.

 

[Famine]

Top right is a Classic mercedes not sure what one just yet

You are joking, right?

https://www.mazda.co.jp/cars/mazda2/?car_id=mazda2

The Japanese market car has only been called the 2 since the most recent facelift. That was this month. If it's a Japanese car from anywhere between October 2014 and October 2019, it's a Demio. Anything else and it's a 2.

 

[Brunol]

Could be the first diesel model in game since the BMW 120d. We got the Hybrid Fit instead of a normal ICE version. Could be PD's odd choice to again, include a "different" take on giving us a new model.

The current Mazda Atenza road car in GT S is a diesel. A bunch of Audi LM racecars in GT 5, 6 and Sport are also diesels. So it'd be quite far from the first diesel since the 120d.

 

[juanffy18]

I waiting for the DEMIO in GT Sport is with manual transmission no the full automatic like DEMIO from GT6

 

[Sven Jurgens]

Nooooo, that will take time away from racing on N24. Can I pre-copy the game at least

 

[AlanH49]

The Merc will be an interesting option for the Nostalgia 1979 race.

 

[Volksauto]

I sure love driving the 300 SEL in Project Cars. It surely sounds amazing. I know it's not going to sound as nice in GT Sport but it'll look very pretty! I can't wait to experience it in GT!
Project Cars screenshot:

Also, GT sport has the advantage of a livery editor with a choice of wheels! This particular car at the Monterey Car Week looks pretty sexy IMO and I'd love to replicate it in GTS!

 

[djm99]

You are probably very funny and i must be missing something because who doesn't want COTAS, Lime Rock Park, Road Atlanta, Laguna Seca ? Tracks with history that host actual FIA GT races ?

Again, i bought into GT Sport thinking the focus was on racing. Instead of real life race tracks i get Mazda Demio's, old US muscle cars and other stuff that, unless PD creates a racing league, imo belongs in GT7. The lack of focus on what this game was supposed to be about is often frustrating. Kaz attending events like no other, would love for a journalist to press him on GT Sports lack of focus and schizophrenic identity.

Nah, i'm from the UK, and prefer european circuits, better still, circuits that we don't race on every racing game.
