Senna content coming soon?

[Squach240]

1980's layouts of Brands Hatch and Monza, aye?

 

[wprpalmeida]

i wonder if these two track layouts and the two cars are all we will get. if so, huge disappointment for me.

We know, PD can't win. Even if it's free.

1st Slideshow Released on the “Ayrton Senna Tribute" Microsite


http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/news/00_4571804.html

Woah woah woah,

"the 1980’s layouts of the Brands Hatch GP Circuit and Italy’s Monza Circuit where Senna raced in F1 has been revived."

Does that mean what I think it means?

Edit: "The Ayrton Senna Tribute divides Senna’s life into four periods" So...will there be four events maybe? and if so, both of the cars we are getting so far are from early in his carrier. Could we possibly get more? Now, We're already getting twice the number of cars and tracks I was expecting and I'm certainly not getting my hopes up for more. But it doesn't seem like that far of a stretch.

 

[ColouredBadger]

We'll probably get a one make Kart championship using the new Kart. More than likely time-trails on the new (old) track layouts and that'll be it.

It'll be like the Sebastian Vettel stuff where you have to beat a ghost car and it'll probably be the same with this. But, unlike most people, I don't care. I'm happy to get a real F1 car and some new (old) tracks to play with. I know an 80's rendition of Brands Hatch will be nice to have for some race recreations I do online.

Haha, me wonders. I'm getting that tingly feeling of excitement.

 

[wprpalmeida]

i was truly hoping for interlagos, as it's on the intro video. but I expect it to be revealed next week. If the '84 Toleman and the '88 McLaren make it in as well it'd be awesome

 

[MatheusBond]

Haha, me wonders. I'm getting that tingly feeling of excitement.

No more pessimisToko then?

 

[SpeedyishOlly]

So, unless I'm mistaken we should get this layout of Monza?

 

[NixxxoN]

If im not mistaken, Monza and Brands Hatch have almost no change at all (monza the first chicane, thats it). What I would love to see is the very old Monza layout with the oval and the variants.
Also Im still hoping for the Interlagos track.

 

[fagnerpc]

The DAP Racing Kart #17 in which Senna challenged the World Kart Championships and the Lotus 97T F1 machine dubbed the “Black Beauty“ can be driven, and the 1980’s layouts of the Brands Hatch GP Circuit and Italy’s Monza Circuit where Senna raced in F1 has been revived.

anger of the PD, do not buy more games of this company as it is only suffering and long waits for nothing instead of fun. too much bureaucracy for too little content

 

[AudiMan2011]

The content looks interesting enough, but the implementation in the game will probably be mediocre to poor knowing PD.

 

[Brutaka]

What?

 

[wprpalmeida]

If we get Interlagos GP track, we might get another F1 car. Senna never raced in Interlagos with the any of the Lotuses he drove. When he was driving for Lotus the Brazilian GP was being held at Jacarepagua, in Rio de Janeiro. So we will either get Interlagos + a McLaren or none of these.

 

[Haitauer]

this would be nice as we already have the MB190E 2.3-16v - although without the porche lisence its not going to happen..

driven by senna @ 1984 The ADAC 1000km Nurburgring..

 

[gtuned]

Pretty cool we're getting his kart and 2 new layouts, but there better be more PD.


If this is it, we got royally screwed.

The Ayrton Senna Tribute divides Senna’s life into four periods,

Sounds like there may be more, unless they're counting those 2 parts into 4 somehow. Just don't make this the most mediocre DLC for what could of been a huge game changer PD.

The logic here (just using your as an example wpr.. ) is getting funny. how is it that they would be forced to give us cars/tracks that "fit". They can give us a Datsun 100A with the Interlagos if they want - i dont think the tracks/cars need to be from the same time of hes career. (..no - i really dont know if senna never drove a Datsun 100A )

If anything, we're getting the Toleman. I highly doubt we're getting the McLaren, or else it would of been promoted everywhere instead of the Lotus.

 

[Brutaka]

That was a very nice slideshow 👍

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Why have they only shown his kart now then? They would have promoted that everywhere instead of the Lotus.

 

[Shirrako]

Brace yourselves

Ayrton Senna is coming

 

[TokoTurismo]

No more pessimisToko then?

No more pessimisToko... If PD succeeds which I'm they'll do. I'm pretty confident that they'll won't screw this up.

 

[SpeedyishOlly]

Why have they only shown his kart now then? They would have promoted that everywhere instead of the Lotus.

I think he means they would promote the Mclaren(s) more because they're Senna's most famous cars.

I could be wrong but I don't think we will have the McLaren.

 

[gtuned]

If you show someone any McLaren F1 car, they'll connect it with Senna. A JPS Lotus though? Probably Mario Andretti.


Why show a car that most people don't connect Senna with and then add in the McLaren? It doesn't make sense, even for PD to suddenly surprise us with it. They probably couldn't get the license for it, so we got the next best thing.

(..no - i really dont know if senna never drove a Datsun 100A )

assuming the whole point of the senna content is to "Follow the steps of his career" as PD has said previously, I believe they will give us a car/track combo that Senna has raced. I don't remember watching Senna drive anything other than the McLaren and the dreadful Williams at Interlagos. I think my logic is quite sound tbh.

Monza (80's)

Brands Hatch (80's)

Note: The second picture above is the Brands Hatch's layout from the 1985 season. It was 4.2 km long.
However, in 1986 the track was shortened in 3.7 km
