Hopefully, with the new dashboard, there will be numeric DR and SR ratings again like in GT Sport instead of the bar, so we can have proper statistics again and get proper math about the ups and downs.

The screenshot shown at the site doesn't suggest anything like this, sadly.

IRONICALLY THOUGH, Music Rally seems to deserve its own spot as it seems...

Given how much she whooped me last time, she'll need even more patience with me. Of course, if she could straighten out Bob,....

It could explain why we need to have this game to be online at all times she is learning how we drive!!!!!

I mixed up Arcade/Quick Race with Custom Race. Sorry about that.

I thought the same thing but ya know what still good! 9 tracks and 95% of the cars can be used. My guess the 5% is the VGT cars?
 
I wonder if the new Licenses will affect trophies?
 
Given there’s no mention, is it safe to assume Sport mode has received absolutely zero love?

In fairness, it doesn't show anything Sport Mode related... so I am hoping we can scroll down and it'll be there.


I am going to buy all the cars right away, less the Tesla. LFA and 190 will be first!

Not sure what you want to see in sport mode?

It could do with a greater variety of online races. A longer format one perhaps. Maybe a race with time change / night. Dynamic weather and tuning are occasionally included but it would be nice to have events with these parameters as a permanent thing, in addition to the current 3 options.

Snow. Why it had to be a snow track?

But, overall, seems interesting enough to warrant a reinstall on my PS5.

Actually, it makes a lot of sense in the Northern hemisphere.

The very first sport race at release at Daytona had the night transition cycle even with the road surface temp changing. They have the ability to implement anything at anytime, but they just don’t for some reason.
 
So I can see the positives and negatives in this update, but obviously we won’t get the full picture until it drops tomorrow.

The Positives
Sophy - this for me is a big upgrade! The current AI sucks and Sophy last time was fun to race against. I just hope Sophy can be done on custom races to allow me to practice GTWS races.
Track - so Montreal was the big rumour and I’d have preferred that track, but I have no issues with the Snow track. It’s nice to have some more rally features as they is only 3 rally track (or is it 4)
Cars - few cars im interested in and some I’m not. 2 new race cars (in Gr3) would have been a big welcome I think.
Single player - I’m a big fan of single player. I like been able to just potter around at my leisure in single player. Hopefully these new missions and cafe books provided some good content.

The Not Bothered Stuff
Dashboard - not bothered about that, I never really look at it anyway. A refresh I guess with more info might be useful
4 player multiplayer - do people even use this feature? Im lucky to have my PS4 Pro still and a PS5 so I’d rather just set up another rig next to me and have side by side consoles running then sharing a screen
Sports Mode - so very little known with this, but I guess some new improvement here would be welcomed. Adjustment to penalty system, 20 player lobbies, and a qualifying session

I wonder if snow tires are going to be a thing from the shop? It would be cool to take the 22B or Evo X on that track with some proper snows!

That’s a great point! Would love some spiked snow tyres! 😂

Just tell them the LFA is coming to GT7.. they'll understand.

I'm actually really warming up to this snow track (probably a poor choice of words).
It's our first time with snow since GT6, it'll be interesting to see how the physics handle, especially compared to dirt.
And if there is falling snow.. especially lit up by the trackside lights at night. Yeah I like this.
 
Really really looking forward towards this update. Really good additions, great cars, new content and although Sophy won't be a thing for me as i'm on PS4 it's still great. In my opinion the track is meh, i could care less about rally in GT7. Would've rather had a new racetrack like the rumoured Canadian GP track. I like that it's in the snow though.
 
I have a question about Sophy... will Sophy be learning our driving styles and capabilities? Meaning, if two people are racing on track X with car Y, and person A is a much faster driver than person B, will Sophy react to that and either speed up for person A and/or slow down for person B? Rather than a one size fits all.

It would be cool if that was the case so everyone can race hard against Sophy and not just get smoked (which we all would). And, as the user gets better so does Sophy.

Hopefully that made sense.
