Finally some tracks, for December though...

Hey and technically speaking, 2 Street Circuits at that.
Not in the traditional sense where you drive through a city with buildings in close proximity (e.g. Rome Circuit or Hong Kong), but still.

The hope for new circuits is almost certainly dead at this point. I really hope I'm proven wrong on that though.

The hopium is strong with me mate.

All I see is talk of cars, cars, cars, when I'm so far beyond tired of asking for tracks, tracks, tracks.

I'm very-confident we'll see at least 2 before GT8. Just wish to God the first one will drop soon. Not PD-soon, but soon.

I called it.

Spec III update - does this mean invitations are a goner?

I think we still need to do the new collector points level to make them permanent.

 

[Lomic]

I think we still need to do the new collector points level to make them permanent.

And to get invites for them to be permanent, so past ones won't be available at once.

We'll see. I'm still thinking players will have to get them by roulette. However, PD did open all invitations to quell the uproar of unhappiness way back when.

It'd be cool if players have to buy a few Porsches and then the invitation becomes available.

The Mine's BNR34 seems to have "newer" appearance, just seen in the Tokyo Auto Salon 2024.
I doubt whether if it's called '06 just like in the past games.

Yup, I noticed it too, thank to the roof decal. I wonder if PD and Built by legends have reached an agreement... I'd love to see the BBL/Spoon EG6!
I believe that the Xiaomi could be one of the four cars coming in the Spec III update, but I won't be surprised if it comes to the GT7 dealership in January or given as a ticket earlier as a Viewers Campaign ticket

Eh, I can see the argument for Canada, but Yas Marina is in no way a street circuit. You wouldn't count Interlagos as a street circuit just because it's by a built up area either.

 

[benjoi84]

The addition of Yas Marina means they'll have to expand the World Circuits to feature a fourth region. I wonder what that means for the menu design in general. Maybe we're getting a UI revamp?

Edit, for clarity.

It'll be under Europe, probably.

 

[RACECAR]

It'll be under Europe, probably.

Seeing as its in the UAE which is Geographically closer to Asia, that is likely where it'll actually end up.

Buuuuuuut, it's part of the EMEA region.


Apropos of the general conversation, if we have specifics about Spec III, there is a dedicated Spec III thread in which they should go:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...-new-tracks-new-cars-and-new-features.434099/

If it's more general stuff that touches on Spec III, that'd be fine here but consider posting it there instead.

I don't think so since the players in Saudi Arabia are in the EMEA region

Ok, hold on. Abu Dhabi, which is in the UAE (Which itself is in West Asia) is part of the EMEA? That is abit confusing, how does that even work?

Europe, Middle East & Africa. UAE is Middle East.

"ME" is "Middle East", which covers all the way up to the Iran/Afghanistan border even in its smallest configuration.

EMEA in PlayStation terms goes even further, including India and Pakistan.

Wait. You're saying if we get thr Buddh International Circuit, it would also be listed under Europe??

I'm not saying that, no. I have no information on nor insight into how PD designs its user interfaces.

But also it wouldn't surprise me if it were the case.

 

[PSN offapple]

Hey maybe one day we'll see the "A" in "EMEA" be represented on the World Circuits map by a certain popular track just north of Johannesburg...

No wonder I failed in geography in high school in 1980....

Kinda feel like the GT World Series finale might use Circuit Gilles Villeneuve at some point, but surely they will end up having Yas Marina as the Grand Final race this year.

Just like F1. Yeah I can see them doing that.

Manufacturers Series Grand Final at Circuit-Gilles Villenueve and Nations Cup Grand Final at Yas Marina. That could be a possibility.

 

[05XR8]

That’s what I asked.

Speaking on the GTWS. Would the new circuits be used at that event?

 

[jrbabbitt]

What about practice time, we (all of us that don't make the cut) will not see anything of those tracks until it drops to us. The participants of the GTWS, will they get any practice time to know the tracks?

 

[MIE1992]

I bought that low-mileage TVR Tuscan Speed 6 in Titanium from the UCD, and I found something pretty neat. To start, I added a front splitter, side skirt, rear diffuser, and a rear wing for aero parts - but no widebody at all. Plus I put it on some nice-looking BBS wheels, and bought a ballast, power limiter, full-customize ECU, and the other two sport tire compounds - but nothing else.

It turns out when you put it on Sport Mediums and do a tiny bit of tinkering with the full-custom ECU and the ballast, you can get it to exactly 600 PP. I wonder how my build would do in the WTC 600?

 

[jrbabbitt]

and do a tiny bit of tinkering with the full-custom ECU and the ballast, you can get it to exactly 600 PP.

Can you give details on that tinkering?
