but is it worth getting a PS5 just for GT7?
My opinion:
For the existing version of gt7? No, it's too short for single player.
For the version that was advertised or promised by Kaz ("endurcance races are coming soon", kaz on twittter after the botched update) ? Yes :D

Depends how you play. If you only play single player content, it is a bit short. If you do TTs or dailies, or lobbies... you can play a lot.

We've been playing for 3 years now. How is that short?

Also, if you want an "endurance" race so badly, make one with the custom race option.
A random question for those of you who have one, but is it worth getting a PS5 just for GT7? I've been playing on a PS4 and I'm kind of getting tired of the lengthy load times and hearing the cooling fan whirring away like it's going to explode into flames at any moment.
I did it. Did I do it SOLELY for GT7? No, but given that is what I play 90% of the time, that may as well be the case.

It makes the entire gaming experience better for whatever you play, and you can move your PS4 games over and improve their performance as well. I still have my PS4 sitting there, but I rarely turn it on now.

I would have to say yes to this too BUT (and it's a big BUTT) i cannot afford a PS5 at the time, i'm on a tight budget at this time...

I did exactly this.

Two catalysts came about for me to take the plunge;

1.Old TV kicked the bucket, forcing me to buy a shiny new 4K model.

2. My mobile phone supplier offered me one on finance through my existing contract.
 
Predicting Japanese 4WD for the Mazda, Hypercar Parade for the Vantage and the original Sunday Cup for the Kangoo (it's too slow for European Sunday Cup)
It might be one of the FWD models of the CX-30.
 
Btw: Why they removed the tiremarks when you do a burnout but when you use the handbreak, there are still tiremarks. I want to do circles again.

I can only assume it's for processing. Early on there were tire marks for everything, as with smoke. But throughout the game they have slowly been dialing them back.
 
This guy asked an e-Motorsports staff in the HRC, whether GT7 will have the GT500 NSX / Civic, and the staff said they've been on the waiting list for about a year.
They (or does he mean many manufacturers?; unclear in this tweet) want their cars to get a chair in Gran Turismo, so PDI has been really busy.

Something I always wondered. Since new events are tied to new cars, I wonder how what event will the Acura Integra Type R (DC2) '01 would get should they readd it? Since it would be considered as an American marque, it cannot fit Japanese FF Challenge series, nor American Sunday/Clubman Cup would fit as it isn't truly an American car. PD seems to be aware of the latter as the Escort and Sierra were given Race of Turbo Sports Car races instead, but the USDM Integra is a NA car so they cannot pull that.

Maybe it would be the point they gave us a Type R Meeting Extra Book?

EDIT: Same question also applies to modern Integra Type S, except Type R Meeting wouldn't fit that.

The Sierra does appear in American FR events so I can see it going in the American Sunday Cup

In the Gran Turismo universe the nationality of the car is the same as the nationality of the brand.
 
Only six people, plus Kaz, working on the team?
No wonder…

I seemed to stop getting notifications from this thread for some reason. It was around the time where a load of messages talking about the update got relocated to another thread. Got a couple pages to catch up on
 
Posted it elsewhere but there's really nowhere to race any of these cars that they're adding.

The AI is dreary and good luck getting a full grid of players to race where a Kangoo is competitive

I think you need to try out the Viper weekly challenge. It's evidence enough that they are capable of creating AI capable of competitive events.
