[boooostedaudi]

Timestamp?

 

[boooostedaudi]

Im sorry?

 

[Samus]

Engines don't carry on running when they "blow up".

Something wrong with it, sure, but it didn't blow up.

 

[boooostedaudi]

OK i over exaggerated a bit but I was u aware that your engine can fail mid race on sport mode

Timestamp?

[s0cks]

That's kinda worrying lol. Hit the rev limiter a lot?

 

[boooostedaudi]

no i actually shift early in this car because the power falls off the last few hundred RPMs

Maybe people could hear what happened if there wasn't a constant stream of commentary

 

[Monkey Man]

I'd say it was a rare bug (see what I did there? Buggy? Uugghh...).

The fact that it drove just-fine after that race without your having repaired anything suggests as much.

What a stupidly long video for 10s of actual interesting content. If I wanted to watch you race I would watch a race video...

Ahhhh so a new super rea PD feature to push more MTX, no wonder a new engine for my LA Ferrari is so damn expensinve.

 

[Quakebass]

Was mechanical damage on? I could see this getting caused by a freak/phantom lag spike if so.

U can actualy see engine flashing red lights in the middle of the car section in bottom left where tyres are, i saw that before in AI cars while watching a replay, had no idea what it meant.

 

[danowat]

Make sure you don't do it in a McLaren F1, the engine is 9.25 million credits!

 

[NICKname]

If engine malfunctions actually were in this game, I'd probably have blown up every engine of every car I've used so far.

I really hope this is not a bug, I love this it bring more Realism. Now if only pd can fix the lobby so racing Leagues can start and Some endurance racing. I Wonder if you do an extended pitstop if they could fix it

 

[xMAXIx79]

I think this case is really awesome, there will be some reason as to whether it was OIL or just an engine overload in the race... that something like that could happen is an interesting idea. Of course, certain facts and framework conditions should be clear, but we as a "community" can certainly find out.

Welcome to Youtube! I wish they rolled out the clips feature to all channels.

The title of the thread should be "Someone had an issue with his engine during one of my races, watch me race for 10 minutes before I show you this very tiny incident" 😅

Thanks to the people who asked for a timestamp.

As someone who is currently enjoying the rotary cars in the game...

The performance of the "blown" engine was remarkable.
Looks like a glitch to me.

Serious bruh moment.

I believe this is in a current Daily Race, so whatever settings are applied to that.

Within two pages this thread has devolved from "GT7 has mysterious engine damage" to "Volkswagen sucks" without a single mention of "Maybe we should investigate and test this".

Talk about click bate... You owe me 47 seconds of life.

 

[Serum]

WHEW! Read the thread title and panicked. I just know my rotary cars and GT350R would’ve been pretty worn by now, considering I bounce the needle at every opportunity.

 

[mikez]

Looking forward to the day my GT1 engine goes tits up.
I think a new engine was 500k or a million.

 

[Michael88]

I had that happen with my Nissan Integra right after the rolling start at the Nordschleife, first I thought there was something wrong with the gear change, I could not get past a 120 km/h, I simply restarted and it was gone. Probably a bug.

24 posts deleted, all because some members can't accept a throw-away joke for what it is.

You want to discuss engine reliability, go and talk about it in the correct sub-forum, because this thread isn't it!

Probably a bug... or the reason why they added the engine replacement at GT Auto.
