I have a few questions about the game and decided to group them all together, instead of separate threads.

- What does "N" stand for in the car groups?

- Which car is on the cover?

- Does the game let you in drift mode for the whole lap? I've only experienced it deciding a sector for you. If not, does it bother you?

- Do you find it weird that you can't drive just the Nordschleife at night, and instead you have to drive the GP too?

-Does it bother you when a cockpit view has the opposite hand drive than what you drive in real life?

- Do you enjoy the kart more than Mario Kart? Me yes!

- Does the Tomahawk X look like an insect to you when the wings are activated? Very cool indeed!
 
-"N" stands for "standard" or "Not only a race car":D
-It looks like the N-class Merc SLS AMG
- No, you only do the predefined sections
- Never noticed tbh, i thought you could do a dusk run on the nord
-nope. but then again im a bumper cam guy. and I would probably find it more weird to be in the the center of the cockpit like a few cars have
-NO WAY! Mario Kart has bananas and shells and turbo mushrooms. enough said...
-Cool looking for sure
:cheers:

But the driving itself is leagues ahead in GTS, I was pleasantly surprised when I first drove the kart. I can't imagine doing time trials in Mario Kart, it's all about the weapon and speed gimmicks.

:lol:

...but.... what happens when i get passed? In GTS i have no recourse to shoot them off the track. and there are no shortcuts either, How is that even fair???:D

I have a question. Are you seriously taking the cake with these questions?

I especially wanted to know what "N" stands for. Initially I though "naturally aspirated" but obviously it's not that. Could it be "non-race"? Any body knows concretely?
 
It's long time gone already, but haven't GT cars been classified as "race / tuned / normal" in former iterations ? I always thought N = normal ...
 
It's the very first, and last, thing that's shown in the opening movie. I wanna know its significance. I'm not making GTS my everything, I am just fresh at it. Less than a month that I bought it, and I want to know more about it.

My guess... it’s somekind of sculpture that someone’s gonna get a replica for winning the real deal FIA cups.
 
- N stands for "Normal" cars... stock cars...

- Donno, never looked at it :)

- If you wanna drift, go drift wherever you want to... but for points, it is sadly only the parts of the tracks...

- It is weird to me that they locked up time progression, despite GTS has dynamic calculations of shadows and lightning...

- Nope, it doesn't, because at the end of the day, if I drive on my wheel setup, gear lever is still right of me... but I do enjoy driving cars with steering wheel on opposite...

- Well, I miss kart tracks for that to enjoy, and karts need to be a bit more drifty in my opinion... where are Junior, 100 and 125cc?

- It is impressive, but honestly I don't like any of the VGT cars... then again, GT is what it is, and VGT and tracks like trial mountain, midfield raceway etc will always be part of it (hope for GTS to get all those back)

Nest question, what's with the driver's thumbs being on top of the wheel??
Click to expand...
I never looked at it up until yesterday when wife asked me why do I hold one thumb on top and other bend behind... lol me... I am pro...

Cheers...

Another question, what does "S" stand for in ratings? "Special", "star", super", something else?
Click to expand...
I guess it's supposed to mimic the racing licenses from real life and previous GT's. → S = Super

SR = Sport(manshift) Rating (how sportive/fair are you)
DR = Driver Rating (how fast are you)

Did you mean Sport =(sportsmanship) maybe, that would be my guess. Manshift is pretty cool but then it definitely has to be a manual. You cant manshift an automatic. :D

Without searching the game for that picture, it could be because drivers are taught to never curl their thumbs around the steering wheel. If it gets jerked out of their hands it's going to break that thumb.

At least that's what I was taught.

This is only in 4x4 driving like in a Landcruiser or Land Rover or any true 4wd SUV in the rough.

On tarmac its not an issue.

I would also suspect that modern 4wds like the Velar Stelvio Volvos (re: TOp Gear) would have electronics that mitigate that.
