Got a Hyundai, Renault Megane RS and Audi R8 ( Le Mans I think ) Quite happy 😉

Applied when they launched the beta in US and earlier today when Sony sent the email to EU players. Still waiting for an email or a notification :(
 
I love how betas are now being used as marketing devices than they're actually intended purpose - reporting bugs and glitches.

And I can't for the life of me understand why people who didn't get in are pissed off.
 
On Pro its utterly gorgeous...I'm on a 1080p tv and the iq is just fabulous....coming on the back of assetto and PCars this looks a generation apart! And performace looks rock solid 60fps in game angles..So nice to see them get to the Forza level of performance....dips during the track side angles mind. Cars, lighting, tarmac, DOF and motion blur look phenomenal....trees/foliage look really good to me...and when the light clips the leaves the effect is utterly convincing, same when it hits the cars at the right angle...Cant wait to see the different TOD settings and the weather! GUI looks super slick and classy and the GUI music is classic PD....Scapes looks classy......Colour me hugely impressed...It just .."looks" like GT...there's that classic ..."feel" only GT has...Hope it plays well lol!
 
Well, it downloaded, I logged in, I got my 3 cars, Hyundai 3.8 coupe, VW Scirocco gr4 and Corvette gr3.

So I assume that means that it worked?

This is new - it appears that they've relaxed restrictions in the past 24 hours. In the phase 1 accounts that didn't have registered access were blocked from the network. Today I am able to authenticate my Australian account with the American beta app (no code has been sent).

Edit - as a result of this, codes are now once off shareable, as network access is no longer blocked for accounts that aren't registered.

Edit:
Phase 1 American account still has 3 races available. Oz account shows no races available.
 
Looks like I missed out on a key.
Hate to be that guy but would be eternally grateful if someone had a spare EU key lying around.
Hope everyone is enjoying it!

The Evora is so much fucking fun to drive. It was the first car I unlocked and I spent a lot of time playing around with it.
 
So we are getting 3 random cars in the start ? How do we unlock cars? As prizes for winning races or do we spent somekind of virtual currency on new cars?
 
Loved that thing ever since GT5 Prologue.

I never spent much time with it so it was a surprise for me when I unlocked it. I initially groaned as I wanted a supercar, but I instantly fell in love with it once I actually started driving it.

All unlocks are random. You'll be able to unlock a new car every day by driving 26 miles.

Yeah, UI is great. Hoping they let us turn off the rear-view mirror in bumper cam during gameplay though.

A reminder that you actually can race around a bit if you choose Qualifying Race in any of the three online track sessions.
 
Would it have killed PD to give us a couple of days of Arcade mode before the online beta goes live on Saturday? The wait is torture.

My 3 cars are an Austin Maxi, an 82 Ford Cortina and an 86 Datsun Cherry.

Shame - the Allegro has much better downforce than the Maxi.
