First is a confirmation that the game supports split-screen racing on a single console. The sheet advises that the game will host 1-2 players locally, although it lists the online grid size as “TBD”. During a teaser video, Kazunori Yamauchi stated that the game would support 20 players online. The official site meanwhile claims that 32 players is possible.

Doubt we'll see 32 people racing against eachother yet, the grid screen in the beta supports what Kaz said, 20 is the most likely in my opinion..
 
So the track count goes back to 19 instead of 17??
 
Didn't even know that. Thought there was only a drop from 19 to 17. 👍
 
177 cars is Atleast better than PCARS 2, but the meager amount of tracks is truly vexing.
 
Well great news,

But

Huracan group 3,4, standard is already 3 corvette 3 times nissan 3 times alfa 3 times mercedes gts 2 times etc or would they not count like that?

Each variant conts as a different car. There are even 2 BMW M6 GT3s that are basically the same, but still count as 2 cars.

The problem with 177 cars is that we will get the same cars in different classes.

We already knew that. This isn't a new revelation. It's not ideal, but for me at least, it's not a deal breaker.

I agree to an extent. The Gr.4 cars shouldn't be counted in my opinion. But the GT3 cars are different enough.

Great news though, I called the increase in cars but nice to have confirmation.
 
"32 players is possible" =/= "The final product will support 32 players." Just for clarification.
 
Great hoping for sone new prototypes tho now rhere arevonly a faw of them
 
Well... 1/4 GT for it's full price. And that kind of numbers after 4 years from GT6... I'm speechless...
 
The car count is not really a problem, considering the quality of GT1 and GT3. The thing is, they are doing way too much stuff that´s not real, like fictional cars and tracks. I loved some GT LM versions and some of their tracks, but when you have little content you should focus on the real stuff.

I really feel like creating a fictional oval track is just a waste of time, when you have so many in real life to choose from.

Anyways, i´m a sucker for GT and i will end up having a buy a wheel for it, because it looks like GT Academy is finally coming to Brazil! Btw, wish we would get more news on FIA/GT Academy stuff.
 
Nevermind, it was already mentioned
 
What I want to know is Arcade Mode details. Not interested in a long, dragged-out career. Just one to pick a nice car, a manufacturer color and drive. Somehow, I doubt GT Sport will have that, to keep with tradition and to my sadness.
