GT SPORT AUGUST UPDATE1.25

[DonZmeuheu]

Wowww....can't believe that another real life track will come so fast. I like the RedBull Ring a lot So thank you PD, I'm looking forward to it.

 

[stpatty]

Top trolling from PD to show one of the cars on a rally track.

 

[Skyline_R34]

As an S2000 owner and having learned that Amuse S2000 inside out from GT5P, I am super giddy about that addition alone. Brings back tons of memories of me killing the GTR my friend thought he would wipe the floor with.

 

[Famine]

Wasn’t Lotus removed from the game after it was bought by someone else, giving PD licensing issues

No.

 

[Epic B]

Which cars are 20 Mil? Just the Ford Mark IV Race Car ’67?



Jerome

The XJ13, P4 and GTO are all 20 million. The Miura is 15 million. I bet it'll be the same for the Mark IV. Not sure about the Daytona Coupe.

RBR, where everyone ran so wide at the first two corners... You know the rest.

10 second penalty. Stat!


It's a good track for touring cars as well. Next month we get TCR cars. You've read it here first.

 

[Volksauto]

MY FAVORITE CAR

 

[GTnForza4ever]

Very nice! Finally an use for the old VW Sambabus! (Insert Comfort Soft or worse here)

 

[juanffy18]

waiting for that anniversary Update, maybe something bigger comes from PD, new Porsches or new brands, like Lotus, Koenigsegg, TVR something like that

 

[Cerebral303]

MY FAVORITE CAR

Knew you would bug out!

I'm glad Polyphony are continuing to bring vintage cars like these, when I get VR the first thing I will do is check out all the old car interiors.

 

[syntex123]

No.

Do elaborate, what was the reason again?

 

[RACECAR]

Red Bull Ring is freaking AMAZING!

Did not expect a new track so soon at all. Great job Polyphony!

Now kill the Ford GT, add championship track limits to lobbies and we're good to go.

If you are looking for PD to BOP the Ford GT midseason, I'm not liking your chances right now.

This game will fail in long run.

Polyphony just does whatever they wants, they don't listen fans as always.

Let's jump in Ford GT Gr.3 OP 24 players.

Being abit of a broken record much? Willing to bet you are about as well received being on repeat as Rebecca Black's "Friday".

The XJ13, P4 and GTO are all 20 million. The Miura is 15 million. I bet it'll be the same for the Mark IV. Not sure about the Daytona Coupe.

The Daytona Coupe was 4,500,000 in GT6 so its likely to be that for GTS.

 

[RisingStar]

Out of the blue but I'll take this over no update at all

 

[DesertPenguin]

Anyone notice we're getting the Red Bull Ring tracks (GP and short) in reverse as well? Was that ever done in real life? Just to pad that track count?

 

[Famine]

Do elaborate, what was the reason again?

It's a disagreement over the existing contract between Lotus and Sony that I believe comes down to how it changes over time, which I think was affected by the delay from 2016.

It's absolutely nothing to do with Geely's ownership of Lotus.

 

[shardlojik]

Haven’t been keeping an eye on GTS recently, so this update has surprised me a bit. Looking forward to the Ford Mk IV, but annoyingly dropped 15m on the Miura Prototype yesterday!

As for RedBull Ring, meh I’d much rather have Spa!

 

[F4H Super GT]

This game will fail in long run.

Polyphony just does whatever they wants, they don't listen fans as always.

Let's jump in Ford GT Gr.3 OP 24 players.

Yes, it's OP but it won't change mid-way through an FIA season.

 

[Bobert power]

Where's the outrage saying "WHERE'S SPA?!" Wait, people on here are praising Red Bull Ring coming to GTS, but this website should be in anarchy right now.

 

[BloodyNine]

Oh, actual content this month (pardon me my lower jaw just hit the floor)

But, lets see:
No Spa (check)
No 4k exhaust flames (check)
No customize-able HUD (check)

Keep up the good work PD

 

[twitcher]

The Streets of Willow Springs and the Horse Thief Mile and be run in reverse on GT Sport. Not sure if they are in real life. And apparently the D1 Grand Prix runs Fuji Speedway in reverse.

Both Streets of Willow and Horse Theif Mile are run in both directions in real life, so it makes sense to have it in the game.

D1GP hasn’t run Fuji in reverse since this monster crash back in 2009


D1 and FD comps at Fuji are now done in the forward direction.


D1 also used to do the esses at Suzuka in reverse, but they’ve ditched that course in favour of the T1 200km/h handbrake show.

Tsukuba ran a couple FD events using Dunlop corner and what is essentially the 2nd hairpin, in reverse. That layout hasn’t been used for a couple years now, with most comps going back to running the standard Tsukuba drift course.

I’ve never seen any official series run RBR in reverse. Maybe they run some of the configurations in reverse for track days, but for actual racing, the circuit would never pass safety standards in reverse. The biggest issues would be the entrance into the pit lane, which is basically a cutting knife aimed at the braking zone of the fastest straight on the circuit; and the final corner (forward T1) has almost no runoff for coming at full speed down that hill.

I think it’s a typo....but it’s PD, so who knows. True authenticity isn’t really PD’s bag, so they’ll probably just make some stuff up as they go.

 

[Rinsky]

Out of the blue but I'll take this over no update at all

I agree. However I'm very happy to see the Dayton coupe making a return.

 

[marcvic]

Another solid content release:tup:

Hopefully the Amuse is an indication that the S2000 will be released in its stock form soon!

 

[PrinceMG]

I see Gran Turismo Sport slowly evolving to another Gran Turismo Car Collection ... Why on earth do they waste time on all those **** cars (Beetle, 500, Mini and so on) in a racing game?

The classic race cars are fine, but stick with the racing theme at least.

 

[MisterWaffles]

Why on earth do they waste time on all those **** cars (Beetle, 500, Mini and so on) in a racing game?

So you can race them.

 

[MrSayAnythang]

Gt sport.....what's up with all these slow small bs cars? Update is only 2-3 cars decent with 2 of them for sure being multi million dollar struggles.

I love the game but damn.....bring some style and speed....not more cars that somebody aunt and grandma drives everyday

The FIA Manufacturers/Nations Cup is happening right now and you're asking for them to stick to the racing?

Ahh, I was so sure I read something about the new ownership. My brain is scrambled eggs these days.

I thought the same thing, too.
