Gran Turismo 7 Physics

Okay, so, off-roading.

The bits on dirt itself I don't have much of a problem with - it's still functional, it's still not very fun, welcome to GT on dirt for the past 25 years. I have low expectations, it still meets them.

However, the sections of Barcelona RX that are on tarmac are now absolute knife-edge death traps that will send you spearing into the opposite barrier if you so much as look at the analogue stick wrong. I don't know if that's more realistic for dirt tyres on tarmac (and thus the previous model was too forgiving), but what I will say is it is completely unenjoyable.

Driving the AMG and attempting some stupid stuff, I did notice it was almost impossible to make the car spin out. So much grip.

And we still didn’t get visible tyre temps 🙄

Was racing at Nordsheife and someone went around carousel in an M6 Gr3 so fast he understeered into the left hand wall before the next sweeping left turn.

Someone got a 2.17.0xx in the Alfa 4C at Spa. I could hardly get into the 18s in a 650s.

I was regularly going round the tight right hand corner before the back straight at Road Atlanta at 70mph+ in the Nissan GTR. Not sure of the usual speed there but it seemed excessive.

All RS tyres.

I've went from having my controller sensitivity at maximum to now at minimum in an attempt to get used to these chewing gum cartoon Dirt 5 physics. A problem is that a lot of people in lobbies are like yeah it's trash, but just keep on playing. Stockholm Syndrome. Never seen so many people crash, starting from the back is like Moses parting the red sea.

I love how they made tires actually feel like tires, much more progressive loss of grip and a lot more control... well done.

I sort of agree with most on the new physics (on wheel). The slip is more realistic, cars now move from side to side, braking is a bit more than just slamming on the brakes, overall I quite like it.

(On the point of overall grip though, I think there is too much. It’s been this way for a while really. A GT3 car with TC 0 should be wild to drive and they are quite tame)

I've been hoping that GT7's tire modeling would move in the direction of ACC and with each update it gets closer and closer. Being able to feel the tire itself and its elasticity is what I loved about ACC and I can truly say that I feel it in a pronounced way with this update.
