A rather weird question but I am looking for some of the best sounding cars in this game. Since there are so many of them I obviously might have missed quite a lot of them (plus the fact that many of them still do sound kinda 'meh / soft'). So what do you guys think are the most awesome sounding cars?

I have around 14 million funds so money shouldn't really be a issue to get some new cars!

I just wanted to pop-in and say that the chat censorship system in this game is completely *************************.

I feel better now.

Takamasa Shichisawa who was the director on Tourist Trophy now lives in Liverpool (SCE Studio Liverpool?). After leaving Polyphony he worked on Dress for Home and then haven't heard anything about him since.

Gran Turismo for Vita by SCE Liverpool? Unpossible.

I finally summoned the courage to attack the A-spec Formula GT championship and it wasn't enjoyable in the slightest. It's a horrible car to drive and with no practices there's never a proper chance to tweak the settings, there's no tyre/fuel wear during races, AI bugs at Nurburgring, a loathsome wet race at Monza and the final kick in the guts was a Caterham Firebird as the prize. A great car, but such a ridiculous reward considering it's the penultimate championship in the game.

I was wondering why PD didn't remodel the Formula GT as a premium — as a fictional racer they could go balls out with the damage modelling. Mind you it probably wouldn't work though because the AI would destroy each other before completing the first lap.

That is an absolute killer for me, I can barely drive the damn things anyway, I don't think I will ever do that series in A Spec.

See now this makes all kinds of sense. Liverpool have a good racing pedigree and are a technological beast of studio much like Polyphony. But no, I bet Shuhei Yoshida has allowed PD to start GT Vita in earnest :(

Gran Turismo is like champagne.
If it's not from the Champagne region, it can't be called champagne.

If it's not by Polyphony Digital, it's not Gran Turismo.

Given how the champagne has been turning flat over the past decade, handing GT Vita to a studio like Liverpool could revive the sparkle. Although it would be up to PD to ensure that GT6 isn't the game where the champagne turns into rose water.

plus if liverpool work on GT vita maybe Liverpool could also model cars and tracks and stuff that would end up in GT6 and help fix that man power problem PD have and dont seem to want to fix.


meh they will probably make more wipeout that doesnt sell and PD will continue trundling along releasing a GT ever 5 years that plays almost identically to the last GT game released 5 years ago.

You guys really think the campaign of Wipeout is different in some way? Or am I missing some other reason that you would want them behind the GT franchise?

I'm not connecting the dots here.

Why would it have to be a GT game?

I always wanted another real world racer from a sony studio.

Since Sony Liverpool and Evolution merged I think it would be pretty cool if they made a racer to fill the gaps in between GT's much like how PGR was the game in between forza's on xbox.


Both studios have enough experience I think they could make something pretty cool with real cars and real tracks.

I would guess such a game from the studio wouldnt be as simy as GT but it would still be pretty cool

UPDATE: Since this article was posted, Guillaume’s comment has been edited to show much less confident language. It now reads, “Polyphony a commencé avec la nouvelle mise à jour, Il se pourrait que des DLC suivent, mais je n’ai aucune confirmation,” which translates to “Polyphony has started the new update, It might be that DLC will follow, but I have no confirmation.”

It only rains in the top tier expert races. And the AMG challenges of course.

Coming off of Le Mans, this sounds like it'll be fun to watch. Will there be any US TV coverage (or online streams) of the event?

Rain is still a bit useless since you will drive faster on racing slicks. It´s another one of those "wow they haven´t fixed yet" features.

Max speed on straights maybe. It's impossible to get proper acceleration on softs once the track is fully wet.

Finally hit A-Spec lvl 30 yesterday and holy shit at the x2010 challenges. The fiat 500/111r/wrx challenges are fun though, they are something I have to work for.
Click to expand...

I just did that yesterday. Holy shit is right! I can barely stay on the track racing that thing. I tried making some adjustments to the wheel but man, it was tough as hell.

Definitely going to take a ton of practice to place 3rd or more on those X2010 challenges, it's like a roller coaster you can fly off of.

I'm about to hit Lvl 30 myself.

When looking at gameplay vids of the X2010, I have to double-check the HUD timer to make sure that shit isn't sped up. It's going to be a nightmare with a DS3.

It's ok as long as you don't expect to get more than bronze :D

Wow. 1.10 bringing some things that should've been in the game already.

Too bad I can't use those and they won't reverse the stupid 1million car trade cap.

Yeah, i don´t get it. Others have said this to me, but i still prefer Racing Softs over the Rain tires in wet surfaces. Times are slower, but they are even more slow with the Rain tires on.

I guess i have to test some more to see.

Might be a dumb question but... You know it takes time for a track to be fully wet right? :p

It can take up to 10minutes or more, and I've been in races where it stopped raining before it even got fully wet.

I have to agree with this, I recently finished the RedBull Vettel X2010 challenge and anything beyond a bronze for me seemed impossible (I use a DS3 to play). As to the guy that asked about the best sounding car, the X2010 has to be up there, it's like a Formula 1 car on steroids (it moves like one too). Since winning the car every single race seems extremely easy to win though haha.

New drift and time trials up too, plus OCD refreshed.
Click to expand...

Time trials are addictive, specially on the nurb and with racing tires.

Spent some time playing the Le Mans one, but the unpredictable shortcuts took away the fun.

Shame the LMP cars will dominate the nurb. I caved in last night and spent some time in 1st with my lovely GT One.

I wonder where i will be tonight when i get home. Test of game popularity i guess. Last week more than 80,000 people were ranked on the drift trials alone, so the game is still going strong, despite the poor efforts on the patching department.

Request of day: dear anonymous PD developer, please add an option to tone down the ridiculous draft effect in GT5.

It ruins competitive races, and it´s unrealistic by all means. Add a slider or an option like the one we have with grip so we can have more fun in races. Draft ruined GT academy last year in europe and they didn´t fixed.

Please pay attention to this.

Thank you.

Yeah, we need a "Real" and "Normal" setting, one which should be displayed on the lobby description. That way, when you go online, you'll know which races have which type of draft.

There's definitely a case for keeping this current draft effect in, at least as an option, as it keeps races interesting as if you fall behind a little, you can catch up again. Obviously for the serious racers out there, it's a little shit being in the lead only to have someone fly past you from your slipstream.

Unrelated, I just noticed the Nurburgring and Sarthe at night don't have any stars in the sky, unlike Toscana. Sort it out, Polyphony ;)

It does indeed seem that there are no stars on the Ring at night. That's unfortunate, as Toscana looks great with stars beaming and fireworks going off.

Here's to hoping that they manage to get day/night cycles on all tracks in GT6, INCLUDING the fantasy tracks. They can put all the starts they want there lol
