You know what would be great? You could take a car like a Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am to GT Auto, and in addition to the other paints you can buy, you can buy the paint schemes that come with that car, and they'd be exclusively be able to be applied to that particular model. (Whereas you can apply the base color to any car you get.) This would be fantastic for cars that come with decals, like the aforementioned Firebird, as well as the 1973 version of the BMW 3.0 CSL, or the Plymouth Superbird.

I've been wanting a feature like this since the very beginning. Like sometimes in the UCD or Hagerty, the car you want is there, but not in the color you've been hoping it would be in. This would be an excellent quality of life feature nonetheless.

I would like to see Seattle return, I even updated the route a few years ago. But, rationally, I believe that Seattle's return is impossible.

Seattle Circuit

Loved it in older GTs and short version
www.gtplanet.net www.gtplanet.net

I believe that the sporting spirit adopted by franchise, starting from GT Sport, prevents us from seeing GT3 and LMP1 cars making crazy jumps in Sport Mode. This would be a mockery for the reputation of the GT franchise that wants to consolidate itself in international e-sport.

Regarding Special Stage Route 5 and derivatives, I also have no hope of returning. I believe the routes Tokyo Expressaway came from are the modernized versions and spiritual sequels to SSR5.

Because of this and pretending that someone from the PD is reading this, I would suggest that they place the SSR5 layout in a new city, perhaps Los Angeles or São Paulo, or in another terrain, as was done with Grand Valley , perhaps transforming the SSR5 and SSR11 layout into a permanent circuit version (autodrome).

Seattle is largely still drivable (I’ve done it in the past year), it’s primarily the scenery that’s changed. The only definitive differences are

1). The turnaround at the start, not sure where progress on construction is now but that may now need to be two 90° around a block rather than a sharp 180 on Alaskan Way.

And 2). Since all versions of Seattle were based off a 1997-1999 era data capture for GT2, you need to extend further south around the new stadiums that were built in the early 2000s. The old layout would be inside the Seahawk’s stadium otherwise.

Other than that there’d be little change to the route, I’ll have time in February to scout out the city and see where construction places things now. The only real limiting factor is PD’s ability to model street circuits at all. One advantage Seattle has over other old city courses from the series is that the elevation helps reduce detailed background modeling work, like in the Tokyo Expressway examples someone posted a few pages back. Westward is the ocean, Eastward-ish is mostly uphill, and where it isn’t there’s usually large warehouses that block views of deep distance. The biggest issues will be turns with the let you see open views to the North/South-ish. Those are fairly level, and will require a large amount of detail put into the backdrop.

On a side-note: would be great to see the newly added "Dashboard" on Gran Turismos online page under "my user site" or whatever it is called in English.

A shame that games stopped doing companion-apps (true, most where not very helpful). If i had my garage on my phone i would use it for countless hours of tuning sheets etc
 
These days I became aware of the existence of the Sodegaura Circuit in Japan. It is a small circuit in the same style as Tsukuba and Ebisu, and those original Motor Sport Land (GT2) and Motorland (GT4) circuits.

I think PD could try to bring these circuits to serve as a drifting and kart shifter circuit.

Question: in sport mode, does BoP affect all tuning (suspension, brake balance, LSD and so on) or just weight and power tuning?

It's a combination of two settings on the event. BoP locks weight/power, and then "Car Settings" defines which non-weight/power tuning settings then get unlocked to play around with (normally just brake balance and occasionally suspension and downforce), with the others being locked to default settings.

Ok thanks. Wow, there’s so much against using sport mode. It seems so needlessly compromised, and it’s meant to be a big selling point. Madness, what a mess!

What? It's just BoP (literally Balance of Performance) and then sometimes you can adjust some suspension settings.
There's a lot to be said about the issues in Sport Mode but I'm not sure how those two things are madness or a mess?

I understand the power and weight aspect, that’s fine and to be expected - but not (always) being able to tweak your suspension, downforce or LSD settings? Madness! Madness I tell you!

Different tracks call for different set ups for a start

Is there any reason they reposted this? Maybe because of CES?

I want it. New interior, power increase and 8 speed auto. Enough to justify addition...I mean, if we got Clio with changed foglights, this shouldn't be questionable.

We already got a Supra that barely had noticeable physical differences a year after the previous one in Sport so I'd argue its inevitable.
 
We still haven’t got a proper GT4 Supra. I felt that would have been updated for GT7.

Oh yeah? The Nurb 24 hour car is literally the GT4-spec Supra. As far as I can tell the only notable difference in the game is the exhaust tips. The Supra Gr4 was included with GT7 from day 1, did you miss it somehow?

The game uses slow, mid, and high-speed BoP settings depending on the track.

As far as I know, the “slow-mid-high” BOPs are still the same. I have a feeling that’s all going to change come next update tho

Well I noticed a difference between the two.

:lol: Brotha Man, in 2019 for GT Sport, I was posting for people to remember to do the questionnaire, religiously, before the questionnaire expired. ;) :P:sly:

Thing is, it’s in livery only, it’s right hand drive, doesn’t have the GT4 power output, it’s not a 7-speed like the GT4 car(ironically, it should be using the Gr.4 M4 virtual gearbox), doesn’t have the full racing interior(even though PD state the version we have, does not have the race interior) of the GT4 Concepts and final customer GT4 car.

I’m all over it. One of my top cars, of all time, in the franchise.
