Someone noticed the Ferrari was always positioned 1st in the trailer update, I mean "preview" update..

But what I noticed is the Porsche position lights (red dots on the sides), IF the 'Rarri is in the 1st place in all of the shots in the trailer,
Why is the red dot on the Porsche is on as if HE's in the 1st place? Is this some kind of a bug? Or something else.. 🤔

Sometimes the light is turned on and sometimes it is not despite him being 3rd etc.. (Spa, Monza = on / Interlagos, Fuji = off)

Examples :

@spa it is on despite being behind the BMW.

And @fuji, the lights are off when 3 should've been on since the car is in the 3rd position..

Maybe i'm just trippin' for noticing something as trivial as this 😅

My theory ia that in preview trailer they showed hipercars on track that is used in WEC or random track. And that final trailer for update will contain Le Mans. We will se today or tommorow.

it has just to do with the trailer i guess, position leds are already present in the game and work perfectly
 
Just had a look at the First Nations Cup race and it’s just the Group C cars at Le Mans No Chicane. That would be fantastic for a new Hypercar only event. A one hour 24x multiplier worth 1,000,000 Cr.
This ☝🏻

Also wouldn’t be surprised if the special event for the weekly challenge is a ~5 lap at Le Mans in a mixed grid of hypercars and gr3 cars…

As for the engine swap, I’m hoping we can put the AMG gt3 2020 engine in the vantage 2018 to make it better on fuel efficiency. It is already decent on tire so having it drinking less fuel would make it even more competitive in the WTC800…
 
No offense, but this sentiment is definitely a you thing. The most fun custom races that I have are with the faster cars. The few times there's a GR2 or GR1 Sport Mode race, I hold my own. But, to be fair, I've left Sport Mode for a few months now in favour of custom races with these cars that you say "suck"

Go build an old F1 grid. I find 1995 to be the best one. VERY fun, and no Sophy required, so you have access to all the tracks.
not really bud, its been talked about multiple times by two of the best controller users on the game, that it's much harder to be competitive on controller as the down force increases, probably due to the way the steering works on controller.

Whether or not they can be fun is besides the point.

Go get a group of A+ together in a custom lobby with wheels & controllers. Have them all compete in GT3, they'll probably be somewhat close, I suspect wheels having a slight advantage.

Now go do the same thing with GR1 & I guarantee the gap between wheel users & controllers increases.

A DLC focused on drip fed cars that only really benefit one piece of hardware when it comes to competitiveness isn't exactly great.

Again, thats from two of the best controller users, from their own mouths when talking about limitations of controller & how it's steering is implemented (I can't remember the specifics, but something about steering having a maximum turning angle that progresses in increments through a corner, as opposed to the smooth steering of a wheel)

Either way anyone that uses both devices knows exactly what it is, hairpins are where you notice it the most.

Cool story bro.

Lol, of course you have nothing to say.

Also A+ so not sure what the point of posting rank was ... Ignored 🤡
Oh, you want me to speak Mr....36 posts ok
not really bud
First off, I'm not your "bud" - I don't know what it means where you come from, but up here it's an extremely offensive term. Tone means everything, and text does not convey tone.
, its been talked about multiple times by two of the best controller users on the game, that it's much harder to be competitive on controller as the down force increases, probably due to the way the steering works on controller.
Let's take a look at your original comment

The ridiculously fast GR2 & better cars always seem to suck on controller, as far as actually being competitive with them.
I will repeat, and I am sure much of this community will concur (that means agree with me) that "suck" does not describe the experience of the faster cars.

As noted, I'm A+. You are allegedly A+...so, looks like the competitive issue is relative. 1% of this game's players are A+

Seems pretty competitive to me.
Whether or not they can be fun is besides the point.
Sure, I love playing games that are not fun...great use of my time. I'm curious, what did you imply by saying they suck? Maybe I misunderstood.

As if the daily races isn't already exactly this? There is a MASSIVE GULF (that means a big space) between one input having an advantage over the other, and one being competitive while the other is not. Maybe you don't understand the English language. I hear y'all call it American... which in itself is strange since Spanish is the most spoken language in the Americas.

There you go again.

Maybe you should do a better job of paying attention. Are there differences? Yes. Is the steering implemented with a smoothing algorithm that prevents the same degree of precision that a wheel can provide? Yes.

Is that stopping anyone from being competitive? Relative. In a lobby full of A+ drivers, I hold my own with a controller. Am I going to win some tournament against the best of the best? Probably not, but I wouldn't win it with a wheel either.

And NONE of that negates the addition of these cars ESPECIALLY when this community has been asking for this kind of update for year.

But..36 posts in...you wouldn't know that.

The Le Mans Hypercars are fun and all, but is anyone else looking forward to expanding their collection of safety car parts tickets? That Porsche safety car is begging for a carbon driveshaft upgrade.
I actually wanted safety car light bars and accessories to be GT Auto parts for many standard road cars already in the game. But of course they won’t do that, the car count needs to grow at all costs anyway.
 
Very exciting day today. A cool pack of new cars landing AND A NEW PORKER!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Since Father Kazmas is giving us fantastic new WEC toys, could we see the return of Silverstone with both configurations????
 
I'll admit my hype is building. Realistically, Reggie will be default for race set up unless PD surprise players with new cars for GT SOPHY. Either way, at least I'll have wet weather to play with.

Yeah… there is huge pause in updating sophy right now. I hope it will change soon. Last update was last year, and Spec 3 only brought Power Pack with Sophy 3.0
