Holy crap was just watching a replay in Willow Springs and saw that there are people in the hot air balloons and they are even waving! This game has so much detail!!
 
I’m loving the livery editor as well, but it’s not perfect. It bugs me that you can’t choose metallic or chrome finish on decals for example, and I don’t know why there are so few wheels to buy.

I didn't quite get it initially but with the shapes you can essentially do anything. Someone got popular doing a nier 2B anime face on the side of a car made just of the decals colored and combined carefully.

Aw crap, you can't? I haven't messed with it much yet, but I was planning on making this at some point:


This is also where I will say I am sad there are no stock cars (yet). PCars 2 has a Ford Fusion so there shouldn't be any legal problems, I am hoping they can add them later. They'd be Gr.X cars, I suppose.

You could easily still make that livery. Choose the body colour as chrome and lay vinyl around the 17. It's a powerful editor.

Everyday seems too frequent but we’ll see how it goes and they can always adjust it.

I wonder you’ll need to pitstop in the Suzuka race.

Why are the prices up for the wheels again? Wanted to buy a t300 and it was ~210€ for months, now it's 280€.

I waited a few weeks to get into GTS but it seems like these issuea arw atill there.

Nope. But it has a message about if you want your progression you have to place ps4 in standby. Lol
 
I still can't save... Its been hours! I just want to save my progress!

Anyway I love the Rally races. They feel so right to me. I wish there were more off road tracks.

Update: it never synced. I had to restart the game for it to connect to servers so I lost my progress. Lesson: Dont play when the servers are down.

I've got my DR and SR both to B and seem to be able to compete pretty well once I know a track..... But the rallying.. I just can't get into it. I'm useless at it. I love stuff like DiRT (although rally is tough) and Sega Rally even, but I'm not good at it on GT Sport. At all.

What's the secret?!

Why would it not be now compared to at launch? We’re now going to have the championships so it’s a great time to start.
 
Is no one playing this? What the fuck happened? I cannot believe there isn't discussion about the on going championship races that have been on the past few days. Holy shit.
 
My strategy for Gold in the endurance races in short:

Stage 8-6 15min oval:
Car: Subaru Gr. 3
Tires: Soft/Soft
Fuel Mapping: 1
Pit: Lap 9, Tires: Medium/Medium, Fuel: full refuel (12laps), Fuel mapping: 1

Stage 8-7 30min Interlagos:
Car: -
Tires: Soft/Soft every time
Fuel Mapping: 1
Pit: as needed, just don't refuel full tank on the last stop, only 5 or 6 laps

Stage 8-8 4 laps Nürb 24h:
Car: Audi R8 LMS (I got a decent setup, just makes sure to use full downforce if you don't want to get into tuning)
Tires: Hard/Hard
Fuel Mapping: 6 (yes, you can undercut the AI and it also saves your tires, just make sure to boot it up to 1 before Döttinger Höhe ;) )
Pit: Lap 2, Tires: Hard/Hard, Fuel: no refuel

Thanks, this helped me. I now have gold in all Driving School and Mission Challenge campaigns,and just have the 3 rallies and Nurburgring left in Circuit Experience.

Stage 8-8 I used the Mustang and set it to the Road setting. Got a time of 35:45, 15 seconds ahead of the second place guy even though I wiped out once and went off track at least twice. I also had fuel set to 3 for 1st lap, then 1 on second lap, 3 on 3rd lap, and 1 again on final lap, and refueled to 2.5 laps during my pit stop in the 2nd lap.

It’s only $40 right now. I don’t think it’s horrible. And you can but it’s limited to Arcade mode.

No.

Wait until it's cheaper, there really isn't all that much content for offline play.

Another year more of this nonsense. I guess COD and Destiny is a bomba because they’re heavily discounted as well? It’s tracking the same as GT6 in Germany and that wasn’t a bomb.

I got gold in all events, challenges, circuit stuff. Honestly I was pissed for not getting anything after 100% gold, fuck. (I get for 100% gold in circuit, challenges and driving school, but nothing for 100% in all o them). Btw, from Circuit I got a fuckin MINI and from challenges a GOLF. How unlucky can I be? lol

Btw, is there any prize for completing the Arcade Races? After winning Nurburgring Nord. I realized you get a 'you completed the ... event' notification, I wonder if completing all of them will give me anything?

I was playing this a lot till I got the 100% gold, but now I feel like I dont have much to do. The AI on the hardest level isnt hard still, I can start last place and get to the first position so quickly. Online mode is great though, but sometimes I dont have the patience to wait for the race I want.

I hope they announce new stuff at Playstation Experience.

I have yet to do an online race (1. Online is not really my thing 2. I'm afraid I'll get curb stomped). But I'm still having a blast with GTS. In fact, after delving into the VR mode, I'm seriously considering getting my first wheel/pedals/shifter rig. The VR mode is a bit on the limited side at the moment, but I'm hoping they expand it in the future. At least let the time spent driving in that mode count toward everything like all the other modes. But I digress. I'm really digging GTS. I'll probably end up hopping online at some point. Really like the livery editor (but also anxiously await the svg uploader). Physics are on point. Game is absolutely stunning.
 
Almost caved and bought for £25 but no older wheel support, only part of what the game used to be (along with all the bullshit about it not taking as long to develop - yeah right!), I've decided to vote with my wallet!

Now just hoping PD come back with a bang on ps5 .....

I passed on this game because the beta didn't really grab me, then I tried the the PC2 demo ... and no. So I jumped in and got GT Sport. Its fucking incredible. I am kinda enamoured by the whole package, its lovely.

Perhaps most importantly, they've now added the typical GT style Christmas music.
