Cmon PD Paris Street Track you know you want to

 

[danimac]

Paris street circuit would be great, like the one from GT4 had loads of fun there. We’ll see, don’t know if we getting content in February, so hopefully something in March maybe.

 

[JackRyanWMU]

Same weekend as major endurance race?

WE'RE GETTING SEBRING BOYS!!!!

*Sits and readies self for inevitable disappointment.*

IMO, We'll never see a "real" city track on PS4. Too complex for the hardware.

 

[StealthVel]

Nice, can't wait
And no, not for the track.

Is it really?It does take more work because of the varied scenery but i don't think its impossible,with the GTS light engine a city track would be mesmerizing.

If only I were wrong and at the end it's just my assumptions. Though, look at Tokyo Expressway: it's all about procedural modeling. All the buildings look very good, with great textures but they are all generic with almost no handmade details. Compare these tracks to R246, the difference is huge.
Next gen is just around the corner so I guess that Poly will build the beloved city tracks ultra detailed for PS5.

There are still 7 days until the end of February. There’s still some time.

Exciting, love watching these very entertaining!

 

[MidnightRush]

For a second I saw the thumbnail and thought that Codemasters was announcing GRID 4 lol

 

[vrossi]

Would like to see the Opera Circuit make a come back.

 

[Sojiira]

Yeah the last few have been really fun to watch, its awesome that they are continuing the world tour.

 

[StealthVel]

Going to need a ton of changes for that to be a possibility.

This is good news, I really like the GT Sport live events, great racing all the way, way better than McLaren's Shadow Project. Let's hope @Jimmy B will be one of the commentators alongside Tom Brooks and/or Chris McCarthy.

Unfortunately Chris won’t be commentating this year

 

[Sander 001]

Any word on improving the stewarding? The wreckage festivals were a big turn off.

 

[TheHun99]

Is it public why or did I just miss something? Hopefully he's OK.

I'd say the reasoning for the Tokyo Expressway buildings being generic is that it doesn't represent any particular area, just Tokyo in general.

While R246 was in a very specific place.

I had PM’d him, he’s all well. Just not doing it this year.

Gotcha! Glad to hear he's OK. He definitely did a good job but if he doesn't want to do it, it's his decision that I respect.
In this case I hope that we get the Jimmer/Tom "Smooth as Silk voiced" Brooks team for the live events and the superstar races (if they're covered again).

 

[bduddy]

looks like NicoR, his brother, and McQueen are going, and GT is going to talk about their plans for this year:

GOOD!

 

[anthaliscious]

GOOD!

What an irrelevant post. Grow up.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

For those not in the know by now, I'll be in Paris representing Lexus for Manufacturer's. I was lucky that I was able to do Austria and so for it to strike twice is just, wow. 👍

 

[hainuinimic]

Anyone know where this will be held(the venue) ? And if spectators are allowed?

 

[Majorwolf72]

When your friend gets this and he can’t get off from work

 

[Walter_Start]

Any news if spectators are allowed and where to got tickets ?

 

[ScottPuss20]

What an irrelevant post. Grow up.

Well I don't like Chris McCarthy. Jimmy is way better.
