I've been playing GTS for two years and this car has never come up on that stupid wheel. I consider this the rarest car in the game because you can't do anything specific to win it and it's all about luck to obtain it.. I obviously have no luck.

Got it once 2 year's ago not since. It's the only attainable unicorn, the others appear but i haven't won one since real money(?) was introduced.

Not sure what everyone's on about with the new GT handling well, it drives like every other N700+ car in the game.

Nothing but oversteer and poor braking on entry, and don't even THINK about touching the throttle again until you're well past the apex :lol::scared:
 
The Ford GT is the best handling road car in the game... It's as brilliant as the F40 and handles like a race car. The braking, the steering and the overall grip is much better than I expected. I thought that PD had started simulating ground effect the car handled soo well. It's just that good. I don't care if it has a Ford badge or not; that stands for nothing when the driving experience is highly addictive.

I’d say that it’s tail happy nature is the most difficult part of the GT. I was actually finding that traction control was pretty useful with this car as it masks the cars biggest downside.

I guess you can’t really think, that it’s possible to put down that much power in a road car without some traction issues. It’s a modern hypercar so in reality the electronics play a massive part in making the car properly drivable.
 
For now, my only issue with the Ford GT is that the spoiler retracts below a certain speed. I wish we had an option in the settings menu to leave the spoiler in the deployed position always.

Well, it's your current avatar, after all. :lol:

Kidding aside, maybe the MR C8 Corvette could follow in the future so that some sort of a reborn rivalry between the two would be possible in the game.
 
You say that but then again that didn't stop them from adding 2 Lexus RCF GT3's 2 Toyota Corolla (AE86's) etc . Also a car that no longer exists ? what?

Yeah you are comparing a brand that has a working report with PD and is almost exclusive to them, with a brand that is more limited and probably asking for more of a licensing fee.

So while you may think it's apples to apples it's not. If it was we'd probably have long had this car, the GTE and the GT4/GT350R-C.
I have no idea :lol: I guess @LMSCorvetteGT2 means that its no longer active ? But even then it retired last year (as a factory car) so its not that old .

Age has nothing to do with a car that is 3 years old and was actively updated and will no longer be allowed to race. Thus no longer exist other than in a racing museum soon to be.

GT on PS5 ready...

It looks fantastic, very impressive. I've never been a fan of Laguna Seca before but for some reason the track seems far more difficult to drive than in past games. That's a very good thing, it keeps the interest up. Never thought I would say it but it's a welcome addition. And the Ford GT and 911 are both brilliant - on any circuit!

I never said that but saving money is saving money.

Its a good hanlding car but you went way too far here.
 
Not only am I glad that Laguna Seca is back, I’m also glad that we can race there during sunset/dusk for the first time since GT3. I love it.
 
it´s my impression or the last 2 real circuits SPA and Laguna Seca are the most detailed and real of the game?

I think Laguna Seca is on a completely different level TBH.

After finally getting the chance to drive the track in all conditions I think it’s the best looking track in the game.

The lighting - already ridiculously good in GTS in general - seems even more impressive here.

This is the closest GTS has gotten to photorealistic yet.

Truly impressive stuff.

@crooky369 made an excellent point with the electronics that aid putting the power down in real life.

About the brakes, I used to think that about the N700+ cars in GT also, but then I considered how much faster these cars cover distance, and how much speed I was taking into corners and had to rethink how I drive them. They can be a mental chore to drive at +8/10ths!

Really drives home how awesome it is to drive a slow car fast :lol:

But then again some might highlight the non-linear pedal throttle, and the tire model as the culprits:boggled:

I've tested the Ford GT'17 braking performances yesterday, with sport hard tyres... (the stock ones)

It nails 6.2 seconds from 300 km/h to 0, like in the real life model !!!

We have to stop saying that N cars brakes poorly.
