Its too bad, but Im hoping GT7 does some next level shit to surprise the world. Passing the expectations of Fanboys like me wont be that hard but I want PoDi to do stuff in GT7 that makes you go "I just have to take a look" and maybe right before GT7 hits the stores the PS4 drops prices and so does the wheels needed or even better G27 is recognized.

I know Kaz said that standard cars will be in GT7, but I seriously agree and hope every single car get tuned right AES sound. Thats almost a bare minimum have to do...

PCars might reveal whats possible. I think it was announced Fantec would be compatible and it doesn't have any special chip, so its got to be just about the drivers. If the G27 is not compatible its almost like Logitech and Sony are in a Beef.

I'd really appreciate if they'd learned about their failures / bad moves / long term let all players wait for promised features on GT6.
It's not about the PS4 and its price in my case, I already have one which is dusting right now. I'd really like to see that PD will suprise me and maybe a lot of other people, they managed to surprise me with Midfield in GT6 already. I didn't expect the return of that track
We'll see when/if the release of GT7 happens. I'm just sceptical about it. It won't be an instant release day buy for me, I will just wait and see. About promised features and what's inside then on release day. I know they're adding things, but I'm still missing out on a promised feature for GT6. One and a half year after its release.. a BAD/REALLY BAD MOVE from PD...



The way the AES files are set up, it should be possible to aim for that. I also wouldn't expect 100% accuracy on every car then, but I've seen how these files are set up. They should be able to come up with a lot of well sounding cars in the future (if they continue this path).



I don't care about PCars.. After all, it is a game made by the guys that have coded NFS shitf1 and 2... So I'd expect a NFS Shift3 (called PCars) from them. With further fucked up physics.. Have you ever tried to drift a car in Shift2?
I couldn't pass the tutorial.. Until I plugged out the wheel and tried it again with a DS3.. Which worked for me in the first try then.
So I'm not really keen on their code about the physics which are involved in a racing game.. They might as well suprise me, but I'm not putting up any hopes for that game.. Shift.. Hrhr

PoDi can possibly kill the vacuum cleaner association completely with GT7. PoDi give us that at least lol

I think PoDi has some wow factor left in them, I hope at least

Do you think there is bad blood with Logitech? I haven't herd of them saying anything about this or even rumors of an updated G27 capable of PS4 capability or a converter box to maybe make the PS4 think the G27 is a TS500, I wonder why they are being so quiet.

OMG Im totally lost Drifting in Shif2. I played it, took a few hours just to get past the must do drift event its ridiculous, I never thought of trying with the DS3. I messed with the advanced driving settings for hours trying to get passed the drift event, I squeaked by and skipped every other drift event in the game, lame as Grid Drifting but for the completely opposite reason. In the first Grid (haven't played Grid 2 yet) I was a drifting God, beat every event blowing them away like a joke replays I look like DK San, but in reality YEAH RIGHT... Grid its way too easy and Shift 2 its way too hard..

What is weird is that from what I heard the Shift games are built on a PC SiM engine that was really good back in the day, GTR2 but NFS just mucked the crap out of it with Shift 1 & Shift 2. It seems like the game was broken down made by a bunch of different companies that had no communication and just threw it all together on the last day, if thats how PCars is going to be it will probably get known as Shift 3 lololol

PCars I hoped to be a bit better with that WMD but it was probably more about getting it paid for than anything else.

Its like I cant miss.

I like this Super Sport VW GTI VGT. I love this styling and I truly hope the next GEN GTI goes further in the direction of the VW VisionGTI then the current gen has already. If they dropped an R version with 4Motion & a Turbo VR6 I'm Sold already.

This would also mean that GT6 VGT series played a direct roll in promoting new Brand styling. Concept cars have done this for years, but this time its interactive. Driving the concepts virtually is brilliant we even get to pose the car for pictures, it gives us a much closer relationship with the car and design.

The VGT series will also have played a roll in acquiring new customers, and customer retention more so than the usual concept cars most only catch a glimpse of.

I had to sell my MKII VR6 last year, and a Turbo VR6 VisionGTi looking beast with 4Motion would make it easy to forget.

This Race was A Schooling. My car was not tuned right. This is the first race I drove with the GTI SuperSport VGT and I threw on a set up blind to do some test in the practice session, but as soon as I hit the track the counter started to count down the race start. It was not right, Ive since tuned the car and run about 2.5 seconds faster. I don't think that his car was tuned much better, but he was a decent driver and was on m the whole race. In order to keep a hold of my lead I had to use racing tactics entering the corners.

A few key places on this track he could of passed me but I had to use my car to prevent this from happening.

At Mid-Field there are a few places to make a pass on me, Turn 1 at the end of the starting straight taking the inside line one can push the guy in the outside line wide, they have to slow down to avoid collision or running deep into the grass. I stay very tight on the inside as he drafts me picking up speeds forcing him to either slow down or go wide to pass on the outside. HOWEVER if hes looking like hes going to get by me before I get to the corner I switch up going wide and forcing him to pass on the inside, I then brake extra late but extra hard focused on not locking up. If lucky he will have gone in too hot too tight and understeer straight wide and I can cut behind his tail with more momentum, often they will hit the grass, if not they scrubbed off a lot of speed to stay on the track and watch me pull further away exiting turn 2.

Then there is the right hander going into the 1st tunnel leading into the sweeper on the other side. These corners kinda connect and that if you get the first one wrong it leaves you open to get passed going into or in/exiting the sweeper. The trick is to take the first corner hard and sharp on the inside, but push wide on the 2nd corner leading into the tunnel and hold the far left side of the track into the sweeper, but you have got to be tight on the inside line of the sweeper for 80% of it only pushing wide on exit. If hes far enough behind take both the first right and the 2nd right tight on the inside and hold the right side of the trck going into the sweeper cutting to the inside, DO NOT DO THIS he he is close enough to cut you on the inside of the sweeper, it will force you wide and he will complete the pass out of the corner.


Finally there is the final set of corners starting with the sharp left hand corner into the 2nd tunnel, get it wrong and you can get passed through the tunnel exiting to the hill. This one is probably the most tricky because you need to brake late and hard, but wide to keep up momentum without scrubbing off too much speed. Its difficult because this is a tough corner for late braking and if you scrub off too much momentum you will get passed on the inside.

If you watch the video you cn see how I exercise these tactics with great success and constantly controlling his position by only giving him room to pass on the side I want him to.

Some Online action, stumbled on a crew of French Canadian Racers running some 622pp limited events. They had draft on real, boost on weak & penalties, 7 lap race at Monza 80's edition. I tagged Pole during practice/qualifying and they started jabbering a bit, I understand a bit of French tho lol they were checking out the specs of my car dude following me getting further away and one of them off track checking me out. I think without the Boost it would of been a CakeWalk but the boost made them keep up despite shitty driving. Of the bunch the green car was half decent but tagged a few ill timed penalties..

It was a fun 7 laps despite the boost, it can at times make for an interesting race as building a gap is damn near impossible.

Decided to make my own Video side by side in The Nissan Zytek Z11SN LMP2 Car
