GT6 update 1.12 is here, and its Sierra Time Rally special event introduces time-rally checkpoint gameplay to the Gran Turismo series. It also takes place on the series’ newest and longest track, Circuit de la Sierra.
Although we got a sneak peek at the track earlier last week, here’s new videos to show you exactly how the new circuit looks in gameplay and replay modes. (Apologies for the poor driving; it was my first lap around the new track!)
Learn more about the GT6 1.12 update right here.
See more articles on Circuito de la Sierra, GT6 Gameplay, and GT6 Video.
yea, I get wicked lag spikes when trying to pass.
I’ve tried to finish this event 3times . the freaking game makes my ps3 freeze everytime. Mission abort :(
Any body having Sound problems since the NEW Update?!
Yes. Sound seems like its delayed and nonexistent at some points…
This entire event feels cartoonish….’overtake’ every time you pass someone? jump bonus? really? this is a joke. has anyone noticed that there is way too much grip? seriously, take the fiat, come out of any slow corner, put the steering hard over, mash the loud pedal, and spray the giggle smoke, no wheel spin. on a ff car? with cs tyres?? further, there are several sections that look completely alike. just not worth the download time.
On the way to Gold the Expert, and I get stuck behind a “BOSS.” How can you pass this one when it swerves all over the road for no damn good reason.
Does PD even test the game or are we the testers?
The only thing i do not like about this is the one time payout, everyone should petition Kaz to change that
Agree. I want to get the damn 20 million credits cars
@hardvibes I guess they want you to play the game. I’ve fought for the money and in total I have earnd over 150 million. It took a while but I really wanted some 20M cars, and I now have three, and they are really nice cars!
Though, I agree they could be cheaper. No more than 10M maybe, that’s still a lot, but relatively esier to earn.
Sorry, got four o them*
These events were fantastic and I can see that I will spend a good chunk of time with them.
There’s a lot that is new here and it feels a bit like a feature test. If it goes well enough technically I can see how they could incorporate the framework into other things. I feel like this is/could be a precursor to other features such as point to point races, course maker, etc.
Really enjoyed these events….as far as I’m concerned, I think gt6 is just getting better and better and at the moment can’t get enough of it. Ok, the course maker is’nt here yet……but theres plenty more to be getting on with and the online community is great. And don’t forget this great looking game is last-gen and is still being compared to xbone 1’s effort. Unbelievable.
Yep I am with you guys, as I have said many times GT still has it’s flaw but it’s continually evolving and improving sometimes there is a fail but PD usually address issues quickly hence the FFB hotfix. But I love this new track and the new cars, ok they are not everyones cup of tea but new content is new content. So while PD may be getting a number of tumbs down I am giving a thumbs up here.
This is a massive layout of Andalusia. PD probably mapped out the whole area in and around the lake. So I’m thinking this is where the track editor is going to be with unlimited options for rally stages to edit. And yes it should have an option to turn off the woman and weather option would be nice. Its funny to see the VW bus going close to 130 mph when I passed it. It must have a 911 air cooled engine. LOL!
Funny also why they used a right hand drive Fiat in Spain and could you tell the AI too stay on the right hand sided of the road if they are not passing anyone or cutting the corner. They seem to stay more on the left side and swerve left and right for no reason at all. Must be the PD staff having a drunken party while they are coding the AI. (I.E.) the video I saw of the initial viewing of the track in PD headquarters. The background noise seem like they were partying and drinking. Let them know what side to drive on the road for the designated country too.
For someone who complains as much as I do, I was very surprised to be pleased with this update, the course is very hard to learn though.. it will take time for sure. Love the japanese coin op style challenges :D
Where is the nismo 370Z though.
Very nice circuit
At last and update that is fun
but when will they give us the Course Maker?
I also like the update – only tried the first part of the track challenge so far and earned 1,250,000 credits so this now replaces the Red Bull Standard as my credit generator for buying cars.
I have the sound adjusted so I can hardly hear the lady talking. Yes it is arcade, but try the track with the HUD switched off, no aids and in car with a Renault 8 Gordini or Alpine – very enjoyable and very like driving some of the roads in Spain. Thumbs up from me!
… I think its a one time payout.. have golded all 3 and am not getting any more credits.. Extremely short sighted by PD.. Shame… such a beautifull track… yet no long term “career” modes races featuring it….
Loving this update so far track and Toyota are cool, and the physics/force feedback update feel great, for people with problems on my dfgt I use setting 10 feedback and 8 sensitivity, it feels very good.
This update has made the game fun again for me, looking forward to doing the rally and trying quick match :)
This game has gotten way to arcady now… with combo appearing on screen you know it is bad news and time limits like this
Says the “CodDemon101″…
And it’s only one event, not the whole game dude…
It’s just an event!! Take it easy. If you don’t want to play it don’t do it.
You can still use the track for normal races.
I wish this ”track” had no curbs and runoff areas, it would make it ten times better.
I love the curbs as a Rally type race like this. The run off areas are a bit weird as it looks like it was just set up completely as a long long race track like the Nurburgring.
I was and am still hoping that they present the same track without the curbs, runoffs and barriers. As you mentioned it would be so fantastic just for cruising.
Hope this turns out to be a course maker track.
So i was skeptical of this track and the format they use it in but i really do like the track but why can’t we use it in outside of the challenges whats up with that.
We can, just do the challenge with the Abarth 500.
@TrackDayBro I looked before i did the challenges and it didnt pop i’m glad we can unlock it. I think this track is going to be my new favorite well maybe 2nd favorite i love the Nurb.
So there are 99 cars on track?
Whoever said 99 cars on track? I overtook 50 in one event.
An absolutely dreadful and pointless addition. This is not what I expect them to produce. This seems like something EA would add to Need for Speed or Real Racing 3 (Oh wait, it’s called endurance mode). I’d rather it be rally stages than this. Then it would have actually been fun. “speed boost “jump boost” GOOD JOB!” I don’t need a person telling me that or any of that crap in the game. Amazing track. Terrible game mode.
It’s something different at least. I quite enjoyed it actually. The woman could do with shutting up, but aside from that it was an interesting experience, that reminds me a lot of Sega Rally 2 (minus the rally cars and unpaved surfaces.
This may only be a ‘Time Rally’ but it gives me hope that at some point, PD will bring back the Gran Turismo Rally from GT5. In theory, it could return with the Course Maker update, as the rally stages would be randomly generated based on the course maker tech.
A comment was made that this is an hommage to “Out Run”. I like the variety it offers, and hope they do more of this kind of thing. Especially if we can set one up ourselves… :)
An absolutely dreadful and pointless comment.
Rally mode… LOL… Arcade mode would be a much better and true word for this mode.
Can anyone tell me how you activate the missiles and super boost during the checkpoint rally?
A, B, A, B, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Select, Start
The sarcasm is strong with this one… I agree Lee. I think Poly Dig has taken a step in the wrong direction with this.
By going into GTA Online and setting up a GTA Race.
Amazing Track! Lots of smooth curves, down and up hills, in general it is great for Taking both: Breathtaking rides and exciting races.
The VGT car, even though it wasn’t completely built from scratch has and enjoyable handling, sticks to the ground 100% of the time, and has it’s own drifting character :) plus, the sound’s aggressive (7.1 channel sound system)
One more thing, I want to know what’s happening with the FFB? Feels like a Just read the comments and I’m not the only one, PD surely moved something in the game by accident.
Kaz please,delete the hateful voice in Ridge Racer style.
You can get rid of the voice by turning off the race info display. You loose the dials and gear indicator tho, I usually play in car with the dials of anyway
I love the voice. It should be louder. Reminds me of playing racing games in the 90’s at the arcade. As much as I love GT, it was always missing that really fun Arcade Mode. Keep everything else as a video game-style driving sim, but in Arcade Mode (and this new Special Event) let’s get back to basics and reminds everyone that we are indeed playing a video game meant to be pure fun. So keep that chick in there…I love her voice.
Lol, I honestly thought there was something wrong with my wheel at first until I saw the comments on here, the track is excellent, really is, love the way it looks, its well designed and very enjoyable. Two more Japanese cars, not so much, the sudden loss in feel with our wheels, not so much, the jump bonus..hmm, nope, not so much, the complete lack of info on the things we were promised and actually want but don’t have yet? Yep, that’s working out great, very consistent I might add.
It’s a driving simulator, not a racing simulator, get it with the program!
The update is awesome….but wth happend with the Force Feedback? O.o -_- it feels like the car is floathing. The feeling of each car is gone. :( Fix this quickly PD.
REGARDS
Learn to adjust it to your liking. The update has been beneficial to me because I always thought the t500 force feedback didn’t have enough dampening effect when initially turning the wheel. It was rigid and notchy feeling. Now I turned the strength to 8 and the initial torque to 3 or 4 and it’s nice and smooth turning casually but when things get hairy the wheel comes alive. So many complaints here it amazes me. Just tweek the wheel settings til you’re comfortable and drive.
Agree with highlifeGT. It felt off on my DFGT but after readjusting the settings it’s pretty close to how I had it before. Tweak and ye shall find.
Adjusting settings wasn’t enough for some people. The wheel still felt horrible. And besides, they released a hotfix today resolving the force feedback issue. Obviously, something wasn’t right with the update.
fanatec csr wheel works in menu and just before the race, while in race acts like the belt came off.
Amazing work pd.
U guys killed real driving simulator
Quick update please or gfys
I don’t understand this at all. The track is pretty good, no complaints there. But why give a ridiculous arcade event when the very basics of a RACING game are still missing. Final nail in the coffin?? I think so. Can’t wait for project cars
Well *censored* off and play something else then. See if we give a *censored*. It’d be much better for the rest of us if you stopped giving Gran Turismo one more chance all the *censored* time…
I agree AbsoluteBarstool. These complaints are ridiculous. They need to stfu and go drive something else.
Come join the room 1472-4711-0167-3385-3990 for some Sierra drivin!
Just driving on my day off. Track day in Spain.
I’m not very good at this…
Don’t get me wrong, GT is by far the best game on console, it’s very good. I think if they focused more on realistic racing, with quail and mor championships, rather that short one off last to first style races it would be amazing.
Just checked out the quick races. An excellent and much needed addition. Hoping for some sort of rating system in the future.
So the Quick Race feature is a hammer’s claw, then?
Gran Turismo
The Real Arcade Simulator
What annoying little add ons
the track is cool as well as the cars though
Dat draw distance! 1st time around felt very intuitive, not too many blind corners requiring you to bash into guard rails, thank goodness! this is the definitive cruise track.
Awesome Track!
Kazunori, are you kidding me? What the hell have you done with the ffb!!! I dont feel anything of the road and the car handling. Seriously, wtf are PD doing….
What the hell Kaz? Jump bonus? Speed bonus? I hope you’re not trying to turn GT into an arcade game, because if you are… >:(
Downloading it now. Thanks PD :)
Great to see the track is not as fast as most thought it would be, I think it’s really good as an alternative to Targa Florio.
Awesome :D
THIS IS SO DAMN COOL. Now where’s my heat gun, got a yellow light I need to get rid of!
I’m glad that they separated the track into sections for the practice part. I just wish the sections were 6 instead of 4. But, I’m happy for what we have. This looks like quite an amazing track!
I spent most of the course in the dirt because of the dumb AI. Why would it need to change its line on a straight-away?
It felt more like a japanese game now with that voice, thats cool
Very happy with this update. It’s taken some time but it’s a great addition imo.
Brings me a couple of decades back with my GameBoy Advance or my Atari Jaguar with bonus time or points on platform games or races . Thx Kaz
9.99/10 It’s the greatest event on GT6 !!! it is so FUN , a bit arcadeish but still AMAZING.
Just one thing : Why is SFR on?
SFR is like having training wheels that never touch ground as long as you pilot correctly. can’t wait to find out if there is a point bonus for 360 jump aerials.
@Lambob, there’s not. Don’t ask how I found out. ^_^
This is the beginning of the end for real driving simulator, jump bonus cmon WTF?!
OMG. This is EPIC. PDI’s tribute to Outrun, and the track is mouth watering. Even the satnav lady voice isn’t as annoying as I thought it would be. The Outrun-style time trial should’ve been in the game from the get-go. Imagine this and track generator meshed together! Can’t wait to do a drive on this road.
Please my PS3 don’t die on me just yet…
Did not expect this, its like Outrun with the annoying voice over of Ridge Racer. Still fun though, but at 1080p the fps can be a little jank.
Jump bonus? Wtf? This isn’t PGR
I hope that annoying voice and arcade style bonuse graphics can be turned off?
Any idea if we can use the track online?
MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON 200% LOGIN BONUS AS THESE EVENTS PAY WELL!!
Something in in passing the countach in Andalusian morning dawn and then seeing the F40 in front of me losing it at the jump of section 10 makes it feel alive. :) GT6 – I’m back!
WHERE can i whinge…i updated,done the trial,when i wanna check online rankings i cantr…wants me to update again….wwaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh…i know im no1 but u no…come on……………wwwwwaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh,……………..i need me dummie……..wwwwwwwwwaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Front sports medium and rear sports soft tires +SRF ON ?!?!?!?
SRF forced on… no update for me then.
53 days waiting for this nice arcadish time rally,great just great!
Good job Codemasters!
Thanks for giving us gauges… maybe next time you’ll give us ones that work!
What, you actually put a boost gauge on a naturally aspirated car?
Yeah because they do work. unless, as said before, you put a boost gauge on an N/A car, in which case, why the hell would it work???
I am laughing so hard at the comments XDD
