The theme of this page seems to be: “Make GT Sport into iRacing”

Here’s my unpopular opinion: go play iRacing instead.

B-But...there's custom liveries in iRacing too! Everybody will drive around in a R18 in stock Audi Sport colors, and they'll like it!

Oh, you are calling it :lol:

Unpopular opinion: iracing is the best thing since the invention of sliced bread.
 
PD has never done open wheel racing well, and they won't without proper collision physics.
 
Maybe I'll try this:

A rich hipster in GTS: "ICRT sucks. LuFa_peregrine, yuyuko_0418, impmiya, @Cytoria, @MMX, and @BLiTZ are much better than them."
Me: "I do like those six that you've mentioned, but I don't mind having those ICRT guys running around, but that scottr_93 guy shouldn't deserve to be in the same group as artists like Nebster, DLB, and atheiststw. Oh and how about Azabear and mopeONE? Their liveries are Sport Mode guaranteed if you look at them."

And maybe another one:

Those who have whined about Spa are a bunch of, if not all, suicide divebombers who want nothing but cause a MASSIVE L1 T1 destruction at La Source. That fact makes Sentul Circuit, an obscure track that only sees appearance as a mod track or so, a better option than adding Spa.

Imagine how chaotic a multiclass race in the dailys would be though, most can’t even race cars that are in the same category.

It depends from the type of players if they want to race like GTA Online (hitting pushing you out or anything else....)

Race C is usually the more one for 'advanced' racers, so make even more - add real damage and no ghosting, you crash you are gone.

Amazing idea for trolls. Dive bomb to someone and his race is over. Perfect idea.

Dude, if you people ask for the unpopular, don’t be complaining about unpopular.

Don't be surprised when your view is challenged. I am curious as to why no livery editor though.

Because I see people go completely overboard with what should be a „nice feature“, not more. I‘ve seen teams break up over color codes and arguments, why the new blue is a tiny shade different from the old blue and wether and where to put the YouTube Channel decal. I‘ve also witnessed teams getting penalized in private leagues for liveries that didn’t meet the regulations to the tiniest detail. I‘ve seen teams making derogatory liveries in leagues targeting other teams. All sort of childish BS. Best to have 10 pre-made liveries and maybe get some with every update instead of this bizarre circus about something that has NOTHING to do with racing and all with „look what I‘ve done, me the genius artist...“.
 
I see. Usually the phrase goes 'Don't hate the player, hate the game' (or something like that), but I think it's the exact opposite here. That is of no fault of the livery editor.

Presets would make that problem easier but we'd be going backwards. GRID I think did alright with its livery options but it was already behind the competition in that respect.
 
The livery editor is a great feature. I hope every future GT has it.

Your issues are because of who you're associating with, not because of the livery editor. If two toddlers fight over a teddy bear that doesn't make it a bad toy.

If Spa returns, it will quickly be known as a bad track for SR/Sport Mode and people will avoid it in the same way people may avoid Tokyo or Bathurst
 
Super cars should stay very far away from Gran Turismo. Imagine if all the Ferraris, Lamborghinis... were replaced by every day cars, cheap cars. They were the actual stars of GT.

Curious, why would you believe this? Because of the chicanes?

Track Limits would be exploited, which would make people not want to race. The opening hairpin is divebomb central, as is the final chicane.
 
When talking about unpopular opinions, I have a few:

- It's better to drive fast supercars than the slow 'everyday' cars. The whole point of a game is to allow you to experience things you probably won't in real-life. Want to drive a VW Golf just like the one you own? You're in luck because there's one right in your garage, go for it.
- Classic cars are often rated too highly. They fail to offer any tangible performance for the money you have to spend to accquire one, they fail to provide confidence and driving pleasure, on track, and they, generally, are less good looking (to me anyway).

Well no, if you dive bomb and the mechanical damage option is on, the dive bomber would be damaged as well. So it should actually help eliminate dive bombing.

I don't think Sport Mode is very good. It seems to be little more than the bastard child of GT5 Prologue's awful matchmaking system & GT6's insipid Quick Match!


:yuck:

Gt6 quick match had a lot of noobs. I remember half of the lobby cant stay in the damn road.

I'd personally find that very, very boring. As much as I enjoy driving slower, older cars in GT, I enjoy driving raw and fast super cars kust as much.

That would also mean taking away my baby, the Ford GT. I just can't stand behind mate.
