If they do add another dirt/snow track I'd hope they would add more rally cars to be honest. We haven't had any new ones for a while now

How many hours to GTWS Montreal events?
Click to expand...
If my math is correct as of this post; its roughly about 25 Hours and 30 Minutes from now.
 
Well just little over 24 hours to go before it starts. Its starts very late in Sweden like 11 pm,
And question is if pd reveal the next update after the races or start of the livestream. I am looking forward to tomorrow.

Something interesting happened...

On June 11, 2024, @TheAdmiester randomly reacted with 🤔 to a GTPlanet's article mentioning this:

This article!

...and I say his reaction was random because the article is from August 2023, and someone like him reacting to it almost a year later is a little suspicious to say the least.

Now, @Nebuc72 , which is also someone that knows what's going on, also reacted with 🔥 to a recent post here mentioning the possible return of Eiger.

So, is Eiger Nordwand the one that's making a comeback?

Hate to go around bursting bubbles, but the reaction was just because I was I hadn’t seen the article when it was new, was sent a link to it, and I found it interesting that PD appeared to be genuinely scanning it for inclusion, especially with the rumours from June centring around Montreal - June 11th was a bit early for me to have any info about 1.49.

As for Nebu’s emotes, I can’t speak for him but I think it’s just a favourite of his that he’d like to see back :lol:

Thanks for the clarification! So it was just a neat coincidence... many of us would love to see this track back as well. The fact PD was there scanning the location is indeed an interesting piece of information.

Hahahaha I wish mate! I just like the track. PD have always done mountain scenery absolutely phenomenally, even El Capitan in GT4 was a beauty of a circuit - I'd love to see what they could do with that environment on a PS5.

Absolutely, plus Monza with no chicanes and the banked oval.

I definitely want the old Spa layout, I remember driving that layout in Grand Prix Legends, I think it was at least. Then later in real life driving those roads to reach the back entrance to access the kart circuit inside the main track. Bizarrely the locals there must be the slowest drivers I've ever encountered, I almost always got held up behind someone pootling along at a ridiculously low speed.

Classic Hockenheim was one I loved when I played Project Cars 3, It felt like a mini Le Mans.

I have these exact same feelings for the Tahiti tracks. Imagine how stunning they would look.

There's a group of rally cars in the code. Would be awesome if they were all added together in a themed rally update.

  • Audi Quattro S1 '86
  • Lancia 037 Evo 2 Rally Car '84
  • Lancia Delta HF Integrale WRC '92
  • Lancia Delta S4 Rally Car '86
  • Renault 5 Maxi Turbo Rally Car '85

Tahiti did return, but only as a Scapes location. Would love to see it return as a circuit one day. Not just the rally ones either, but maybe a reimagined Tahiti Road.

I hope they fix somethings with the offset cockpit camera in this update. I like using it with my wheel set up and it always you to actually use the cats revive mirror. But for one, the hud doesn't offset with you. So if I am driving a left wheel driven car the tire gauge is covered by my wheel. If I can driving a right wheel driven car the raider and such is covered. The other things is the left and right side views simply son't work. If you look left or right the camera just goes to the default cocky view instead of looking left or right. It's been this way since launch.

Weren’t there also leaks of PD scanning a area that looked a lot like Tahiti, including the local foliage there?

Not "leaks" so to speak, just a video from SIGGRAPH 2023 with a bit of a sneak-peak at modelling. Eiger Nordwand is the main focus, along with a quick look at capturing 360 video at Spa, the 3D model of Laguna Seca, and a small tunnel of some sort.

Kaz's presentation starts at 31:40, modelling video at 39:28. The only cryptic evidence that's had Tahiti fans like myself excited (and it doesn't confirm Tahiti at all) is at 40:12 where we see a bit of jungle, and then some banana leaves, pineapples etc being prepped for photogrammetry.

After what PD did in remake of Grand Valley when they transformed it from race circuit to road based race track, and by having Alsace and St. Croix, Sardegna and Tokyo Express i think PD want to add in near future or GT8 GT9 more "scenic routes" to capture essence of world of driving. Eiger Nordwand would fit perfectly to those kind of road circuits and maybe they would want to add "Jungle Themed" road track this would make Thaiti a perfect fit. I think all of those tracks are possible.

To be honest I would not be surprised if Red Rock Valley would be transformed into "Desert Themed" road circuit instead of full racing circuit it used to be.

Yeah right, it was at a presentation l, now i remember👍

But wasn’t there also a kind of a terrain map in the presentation that could be Tahiti?

If there’s one thing I don’t want in GT it’s more (or actually any) rally.

GT7's rallying is pretty naff I've got to admit, I can understand why you don't want more. But if instead they could get Rally handling like in DiRT rally, then I'd love to see more rallying in GT7.
 
Rallying is mostly an afterthought not because of its physics, but because of its implementation and content.

A lot of the rally cars from previous games haven't made their return yet (save for at least two cars), and that the number of rally circuits or rallycross tracks are still pretty barebones at the moment, not to mention, GT7's career doesn't give them much justice either.

If they wanted to add more rally or rallycross tracks, they could add the respective layouts to Daytona, Spa and Nurburgring.

I’d say that the rally physics are complete nonsense tbh.

I’d rather play a dedicated rally game.

There are good ones out there.
 
I would like to have some more rally, but only if they bring some more classic rally cars in the game and especially better tracks, something like the Tuscany one in GT5 for example, more interesting, beautiful ones
 
So just 10 hours to go. Looking at gran turismo website the timing for the world series dosent state on when pd will reveal the update. Either way i am looking forward to see it.🔥

As with everything with the game, rallying is a completely different experience once you play in VR.... It's as fun as it can be and it reminds me of the old and amazing Sega Rally Big cabinet.

You just can't enjoy it on flat the same way.
