How do you expect them to animate the driver moving the gear before you've pressed the button? It has to start afterwards.
I agree with you, it must comes after the player input, but maybe they can animate a faster move of the arm, that feels a bit unnatural and slow… I mean if you’re driving a fast car you probably need a very short run to switch gear, while in game they are usually modeled as a very evident movement also when the driver constantly has its arm on the lever.
 
There is a lack of controller configuration options.

For example, many other racing games allow you to set a trigger dead zone, and games like Forza and TCM allow you to set a steering simulation mode (direct mode) so that you can always get a sufficient steering angle even with stick steering.

If only this game had those options, I would enjoy it so much more.

I don’t mind it, if they sped it up, it’d look just as weird.

What they could do is have the guy shift nearing redline right when people would shift, but then what happens if you short shift or shift much later really revving it out?

I think it is what it is and there’s nothing that can be done about it.

What annoys me most is not having a lot of their original tracks in the game just to fill out the options some. The car updates for me have been meh and there is no sign of any new tracks.
 
I find this annoying why it only applies to the GTWS events, but could PD please add this feature about illegal blocking, as many ppl do this on Sport mode when racing online and don’t get repromanded for it. The same can be said for swerving down straights. I'm just curious if this rule is enforced by humans or the built in AI programming of the build of the game they use for GTWS events.

Because there are some features I see at these events that are not available still to this day in-game. Like the dunlop popup message of tyres, People been using third party apps to compensate for like tyre temps etc.

Good haha. I’m in Canada so maybe it’s worse here but my vehicle I bought for $6200 with 190,000kms. Fast forward 7-8 years later and they’re selling for $9000 with 300,000kms. I don’t get it. It’s been good so I’ll keep it with only 260,000kms because I can’t get anything to replace it for the money I’d get.

Anyway it’s crazy. Gone are the days of buying a beater for $500 and driving it for five years haha. Beaters are starting at $3000
 
@hawkeyez True that. My son was looking to buy a 2010 Jetta with 150k miles. It was $5000 but when he had it inspected, it needed $4k in repairs.

Shouldn't the Chaser Tourer V and Mark II Tourer V have different interiors, at least colors and patterns and different colors of instrument lighting?

Won’t be buying them anyway. I lost track of the game, see there was an update. Caterham, not bad I guess, and then yet again stuff of no interest.

On another things that annoy me, everything is all sedans, suvs and trucks these days. Humanity is going to look back at this time and go what were we thinking. Gas prices are high, apparently we’re running out, “climate change” too and yet everything are big gas guzzlers. If it isn’t, it’s a four door. The 2 door sporty coupes are almost officially dead. It feels like sometimes Gran Turismo or Polyphony Digital are leaning into that too.

Just like music, albums and artwork are gone and we’re left with high marketed same as the last. Goes for vehicles now too. Can’t tell the difference.

Rant over. 😢 lol
