That was pretty clear since they announced update at the beginning of the month.

But there is extremely high chance we will get new update at the beginning of December.

Yes i agree proably 7th or 14th december most likely the 14th but could be wrong

I would not be supriced we got 3-4 other cars outside of vision cars, chrismas updates most of time will be one of the bigger ones, i dont expect it to be like spec ll big through, more in line like with last year chrismas update

yes i think it is possible that we could get some cars. Just I don't expect big update, rather standard one. With some cars and events for world circuits.
 
This is the last Vision or we might have the risk to have more of them in the futur

There was a list of Vision GT's in progress somewhere. I think there is chance for new ones to come.

In regards to the GR GT3 and the eventual, finalized Lexus model, wouldn't releasing it to us player be way too early for Toyota?

I think its possible with 5 cars like last year chrismas updates mainly is a little bigger than regular updates, not as large as spec ll but i think we still could get a decent update, and pd might skip january like this year in 2024, we might get some content showed of in live events this weekend, i would not be supriced through if there is no new track,
 
It’s funny. The one at the Crowded Crossing, he could have used the Prius ‘09, instead of the Mazda3. Still, good for the game to be recognised.
 
Any tips for the Fiat weekly race, I have mine at 100pp with some upgrades such as a sport exhaust and suspension and I still can't win

Don’t release the throttle except for the last corner

Every PP update has to be power, none suspension and such. Relatively obviously. ;-)

Or weight reduction? not sure which of the two is optimal ?
 
I do like how the flavour text for this race goes "make sure you don't go too fast in your old Fiat", quite amusing.

I tunned mine to 100pp like this: power to 18 HP, fully customizable suspension, slammed to the ground(almost)

Do not release trottle untill last corner, just before top of the hill shift down to 3rd.

Last corner is tricky I'm pretty sure AI uses CM or even CS they go in the corner with very little breaking we can't do that on CH tires. Brake, entry in 4th, arround apex downt to 3rd.

After few trials I win it by 3 sec(AI hard)

Maybe you can be faster with more power and stock suspensions but you are way more stable in that 2nd corner on full throtle with custom suspension.

I just put a mix out of Comfort Hard & Middle on it and some ballast on the front so that I was right under 100pp, worked out really well

Put it all in horsepower, I guess, or almost. I went with a Street Susp, and horsepower where I could, I had 18-19 CH., Won it by 2.6 seconds margin. I mean, I don't know if it's a good idea since I play Easy Mode due to me sucking badly. (EDIT: I am not making fun of anyone who plays at Easy mode, I'm just self-deprecating a bit.

I have a theory about Lotus' omission from GT7 which may seem a bit controversial.

The brand obviously doesn't have a problem when it comes to video games, as it can be found in Assetto Corsa, The Crew Motorfest, Forza Horizon, Forza Motorsport and even Need For Speed so there's clearly an issue at PD's end. It does seem odd that such a well-known brand is totally absent from GT, unless you consider the F1500-T a Lotus 97T. What's stopping them, you ask? Well I have a compelling conspiracy - PD don't want to pay Lotus because other manufacturers will ask for more money, thus exposing their stingy license deals. There is a possibility that PD are underpaying license holders, and they don't want that to be exposed. Other game developers have been able to stump up the cash so why can't PD with the financial backing of Sony? This could also help to explain the absence of Silverstone. Maybe I'm wrong but I have to scratch this itch or I'll go mad.

It's definitely about money. Lotus might be trying to hold out for more money than PD thinks they're worth. So why bother when the game is doing just fine? PD knows their value and so does Lotus, they just don't seem to align. Other manufactures might be more willing to charge less because of their relationship, or PD is more willing to foot the bill (for Ferrari).

I literally thought the SAME EXACT THING. Crazy.

Great article and project though. I coincidentally posted it to the photo forum earlier after seeing the article on IG.
 
I am sure it is more money related than what I personally think it is.

Lotus is owned by Geely which is a Chinese automotive conglomerate that also happens to own Volvo/Polestar (Volvo disappeared when Lotus did too) Geely bought a 51% stake in Lotus in 2017, coincidentally when a certain Lotus-less GT Sport came out.

I personally believe that with PD being Japanese that there is a somewhat long lasting hatred for one another’s countries that has stopped negotiations involving licensing.

Am I over-reading into the whole thing? Probably. But that won’t stop me from have my own personal conspiracy theories on issues like this.
