Yeah, I think those are only for the first week. But, I agree. It was kinda whomp whomp to read that.

However, what else would anyone expect? 10 six star tickets?

5*, 500k, 6* ticket, 1M, 6* car, those are nice bonuses

or even a present car like we had in the past

For sure. To play devil's advocate though, any free tickets are great for newcomers that may have been introduced to the game through MFGT. Proportionally, these awards seem more valuable to newcomers.

This is hilarious hahahaha, rewards like it's costing them real money to hand them out! It's not a real Carbon Brake Disc lads you can be a bit more charitable with it.

You know, someone may have been sitting there thinking "Nah, a 6-star is too generous. Let's give them a 5 instead." and I find that hilarious.

How I see PD with most of their gifts :

If the parts and engine tickets were redeemable against cars of my choosing, that’d go a long way to making those tickets less “ugh” when I get one. But I guess I’ll take my whatever part for a Tesla and have it remain forever unused.

So you know how some cars only come in a single color, but also can get an engine swap? I'm especially referring to models like the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 Nismo, the Ferrari F40, or the GReddy Fugu Z, but especially since they don't have any notable pre-set decals unlike something like the Abarth 595 SS or some colors for the BMW 3.0 CSL '73. I'm thinking of picking another color for each of those former three, namely ones that may be from similar models that come with more color options, so here were my ideas:

Ferrari F40 - Argento Nurburgring (From the F50)
GReddy Fugu Z - Grand Prix Maroon (From the 240ZG)
Nissan GT-R R32 Nismo - Deep Marine Blue (From the R33)

Come to think of it, I had even more ideas!

Nissan Skyline (R31) - Gun Gray Metallic (From the R32)
Amuse Nismo 380RS - Premium Passionate Orange (From the Z33)*

* I know this one technically has pre-set stickers, but I already had swapped one...

EDIT: I was also thinking of re-painting a spare A70 Supra the A80's Super Red IV, but I do really like those stickers on the side.

EDIT2: Then there's also a spare Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evo II that I've also swapped, but I'm unsure of what color I should re-paint it, if at all. Maybe some sort of silvery color?

Edit 2: I like Liquid blue colors and metallic tones of aqua/cyan and pearl oranges and soft greens. On second thought about me saying Gun Gray Metallic being good on a lot of cars, err... I tested it and I'd say it goes well on cars that start with dark colors.

I'm quite interested to hear what random thing Kaz gives away, possibly unintentionally, in his post-GTWS interviews this year once they release.

He's normally good for one new unexpected insight, even if it's not one people are necessarily asking for - in the last couple of years we've had the "city courses take five times as long as stadium courses so don't expect many" tidbit, and the "enthusiasts are driving SUVs more and more so GT needs to cover them" comment.

Yeah but that’s only because nobody makes (affordable and decent) sports cars anymore :lol: it’s not by choice!

Unfortunately it's the other way round. Mazda MX5 is the example of an affordable and decent sportscar, but there is little demand so few competitors.
People want crossovers because they are convenient and there is very little opportunity for sporty driving.
I own a sportscar (guess which one) but live in Amsterdam. In the NL max speed is 100 km/h, 60 (!!!!) on country roads. I have to drive for an hour to get to a place where traffic is light enough to break the speed limit. If I want to have some driving fun I need to drive for 2 to 3 hours to go to the Ardennes or Eiffel. We do that a couple of times per year, but everyday driving fun is out of the question.
 
I really hope pd have something good planned for 2025 in terms of updates,
I do love pd work going in to that insane detail for the cars, but besides that the updates has not really been that great, other than maybe 4-5 updates in total since it launched in 2022,

If its just the standard 3–4 cars with just a couble of events, i will stay a lot more with ac evo in 2025, and i am sure many will do the same if they both have ps5 and pc, but if the lackluster updates is because more focus is being shifted towards gt8, it could still be a good thing,

As great it is with craftmanship pd has going in to the car models, its not the same for single player elements sadly, but with almost 3 years since launch i dont expect pd to change that much about it, its more likely being changed for the next title instead, maybe pd is waiting for sophy ai to be in a more ready state,
Sophy ai could even be a marketing move for gt8, i domt expect sophy ai to progress much futher in gt7 other than being added to the rest of the tracks.
A fully integreted sophy ai and bspec is proably saved for the next title.

Wait and see how ACE turns out first. Hopefully it will be good, but many games have been flopping lately.

Got no reasons to doubt kunos, they have only delivered so far.
But it might be slow progress before it gets it final release from its early access.
In early access there wont be much content.

What do you mean? We are getting B-Spec mode, every month 5 cars, changes on the online component, endurance races and we are getting 3-4 new tracks in 2025.
 
Was the Christmas music always in the playlist library in the Showcase? I noticed it started playing and I checked it out for curiosity, to find that you can select and listen to the Christmas tracks in the Showcase.

5 cars is not for every month, it only comes when the prior month or following month doesn't have DLC at all. 3 cars per month is the standard for updates.

Also, where are you getting the idea that we're getting 3-4 tracks next year?
