Is there a way to report dirty players in Sport Mode now? One of the most popular GT content creators released a video today saying that a player that he previously had banned for racing dirty in daily races is back doing it again on another account. I haven't raced online except for the occasional free weekend since last February so I can't confirm or deny if dirty players can be reported now.
 
Geez, did I miss something? When did they fix the GR Yaris and the GR Corolla. They used to have horrible lift off oversteer that I just couldn’t drive them. Tonight I was doing some testing and thought I’d try them again. They are now fantastic to drive, couldn’t get them to oversteer even when I tried to. Thanks PD! 🥳

I think the lift-off AWD craziness was tamped down in the 1.49/1.50 updates.

The Corolla, EVOs, AMG 45 and a bunch of others were WILD on the brakes. Haven't tried driving them much recently though.

These two stood out as the worst to drive when we first got them. Now it’s like we got two great new cars to use. I put a bunch of miles on that Corolla yesterday/this morning.

I think I might know why they asked. The lack of the Michelin logo here:

Also no BBS logo, though I'm not sure when that might've disappeared. I recall BBS being in some financial difficulties at a similar time as Fanatec, but not sure if that was resolved.

To be honest, wasn't really a fan of a single tire sponsor in the game. Or any parts for that matter. (Including Brembo) We really should have multiple options available to us.
 
Wonder if we'll eventually get Pirelli back as a tyre sticker option. You can still get Pirelli tyre stickers currently by porting over a livery from GT Sport, but of course that only works for cars that were in Sport, and none of the new cars for GT7 e.g. Ford GT GTLM, Genesis X Gr.3 etc.

Oh and some cars have Pirelli's as their default, so for those you don't have to do the GT Sport step.

No.

And how would the content creator ban another player for something that is not a breach of the PSN code?

I just put Pirelli on my GT3 Ferrari for the TT and my 2 hour Roar before the 24…

Well, there are 2 companies operating under the same BBS logo: the German and the Japanese. The German was the one with financial difficulties (since the politic unrest in Guinea) and they used to make cast and flow-formed wheels, KW Suspension CEO bought the company and tried to resuscitate it, but it seems they are having problems again. I remember reading something about the rise of electricity cost in Europe after the Ukrainian-Russian war and how it affected BBS Germany. The Japanese one is completely independent from the German, they are the ones who make the forged wheels, they made statements reporting that the German BBS' issues does not affect them and they only share the name and logo. To make things even more confusing, BBS Japan has a factory in Germany where they make the F1 forged wheels.
In fact, the German BBS wheels are imported into Japan by the same company that import KW and Brembo, Hashimoto Corporation iirc.
Probably the Nations Cup was sponsored by the Japanese BBS.

Speaking of parts, I'm still baffled by the inclusion of the HRE Wheels stickers in the livery editor despite not actually having those wheels, but now that we've seen more wheel brands get added, I suppose HRE designs could still be a possibility. (Though I personally would've waited to add the stickers until the actual wheels were added, haha.) I'd also say that it could be very cool to see more wheels from brands that have very low amount of wheels, like Spoon and Hayashi Racing.

On another note, I wonder if it could be worth seeing slightly older prototypes in Gr.1? Don't get me wrong, I'm profoundly excited to see more LMH/LMDh cars join Gr.1, especially as more automakers IRL discuss potentially entering such as Genesis and Ford. But what about slightly older prototypes from the 2000s/2010s? The Nissan Onroak DPi and Mazda RT24-P do look especially alluring, even to this day. The latter even has a notable difference from the Gr.1-spec Mazda LM55 VGT - instead of a rotary, the RT24-P uses a turbocharged inline-4. Of course, as far as DPi goes, there were two other manufacturers in that group - Acura and Cadillac - but they have more up-to-date racers in LMDh, with the ARX-06 and V-Series.R, respectively. Personally, if it were up to me, I'd just wait to see if Nissan and/or Mazda get on board with LMDh/LMH.

They may as well have said it's coming February 🤣 That would be closer to the truth than January. Fingers crossed we get a decent update. They've had 3 months to come up with something.

Don't give them ideas. Pushing it to February means they could justify skipping another month, meaning the update after would be early April or something lol

Do we think Sony's current seeming withdrawal from in-house live service games will affect PD in any way?

For those not aware, it recently came out they've cancelled two more in-development service games, to go along with the earlier cancellation of the Last of Us multiplayer game, the shutdown of London Studio last year who were thought to be working on a service game and the whole Concord fiasco.

For the millionth time, GT7 is not a "live-service game" by any established metric.

Uh, in the link you provided it literally lists microtransactions (necessary or not) as an example of a live-service game. I'd say that's a fairly well established metric.

From YOUR LINK, under "examples - microtransactions": "a game that aims to provide ongoing service will gear its design and financial approach to assure that a small fraction of players will purchase this content immediately rather than grinding through the game for a long time to obtain it."

Maybe you've had to say it a million times because people keep telling you you're wrong?

Are all things that are yellow bananas? Just because it has one factor common to live service games, does not make it a live service game.

You pay full normal retail price at purchase and actual content updates are free. That leans very heavily against the GaaS model.

January 30th still being January not February😅, tbh the moment thwy announce the exhibition series for this wednesday I though the update was going to be released until next week
 
It’s so weird to me that Sony would go to studios like Bluepoint and Bend to fulfill their misguided service game dreams instead of looking at what they have and how they can monetise it better. Not to give anyone ideas, but if there’s one franchise that Sony owns that lends itself perfectly to the service game formula it’s Gran Turismo.
I’m happy they don’t exploit it or me or us (yet), but I would not be too surprised if GT8 showed up and had things like car passes, car packs and exclusive nonsense that con only be obtained with real money.

Anyway. Let Bend do Days Gone 2 and Bluepoint the Bloodbourne remake is what I’m trying to say.
