Eiger Nordwand was added a year ago, but only as a road track, Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo 6 still had 3 dirt tracks, will they be added back?

Watch out for Justin the dickhead German in and around the D/C lobbies. Was running P1 until this cynical nudge, managed to recover and hold onto second with a clean race but ffs, hate this shit.

GT Discussion Any info on this Sparco X GT seat

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I recently acquired this GT branded Sparco bucket seat for my sim rig. Ive tried to do a bit of digging around and from what i can tell this was a japan exclusive product. I guess what I’m asking if that is true about it being japan exclusive, if theres any more info about what kit this belonged to and I guess to share with the community. Thought this was a really cool find/purchase.

Found info linked:
https://ascii.jp/elem/000/000/326/326939/
LPSK-01002 (kit)
Sparco Speed seat (apparently it could be fitted to a car legally?! Not that I would trust it)
Produced for GT3 A-Spec (2001)
Logitech (logicool) GT FORCE compatible (with the rig)

Tried to recreate Raoul Çaroule from Cars 2 as accurately as possible on the Ford Focus Gr.B Rally Car

Would you like to see more Pixar Cars liveries?

And if so, which one would you like to see next?

OTHER I just want to say thank you

I just want to say thank you to those who post and comment on this sub. You guys and gals really helped me to become a faster and better racer across the board. The proof is in the pudding, I just hit A+ DR because of the help, tips and tricks I received here (not exclusively but yeah). I’m really grateful for everyone, you guys are great! Keep this sub alive, I know I’m not the only one benefiting from the community we’re all a part of.

GT Discussion Songs you listen to while playing

Upvotes

So I have curated my own playlist to listen to when playing GT7. It’s a mixture of songs from other racing games but mainly songs that I like, that I feel just fit the vibe of a racing game (in my opinion).

Feel free to check it out: https://music.apple.com/gb/playlist/racing-games/pl.u-LdbqqBjIxP6LzbP

Also looking for suggestions on other songs that you think fit the same theme

Thanks :)

Also, rather curiously, Sam Mitani's official race report somehow thought the collision was Serrano vs Drumont, despite the investigation being Serrano vs Gallo.

GT7 This thing feels like a cheat code in WTC 800

Post image
395 Upvotes

With the fully customized transmission and suspension and running RH tyres, it sots right underneath 800 PP with 780 HP. Super stable (granted I have the anti-roll bar *cranked* after the physica update), really gentle on the tyres, and great gas mileage. Most WTC 800 races have just been set it on "lean" fuel/power mix and drive straight from lights to flag with no stops so long as there's no rain. Even with stops though (I took two yesterday at Fuji because of mid-race rain), I've still been winning races by a full minute with half the field down a lap. Really incredible car if you need a winner for that series.

Last race was fun. That NXS was trying to kill me. It doesn't look like it but I almost lost it. While I was racing it moved in slow motion and I was able to catch it. Watching the replay it was a split second.

Other than that all the other races were pretty easy to do.

SEWON-SW

After a few months away, SEWON is finally back. This pause came during a period of positive career changes and new responsibilities, so I had to take time to focus on that next stage properly.

For the return, I wanted to share something that feels strong and familiar: the Nissan GT-R GT500 2008, reworked with a white HKS-inspired direction. The concept follows some of the spirit of the original design, while adding my own interpretation through the graphics, balance, and overall presentation.

I’m genuinely happy to be creating again and excited to continue building SEWON through new concepts, new ideas, and more visual stories for the community, the brands, and the people who connect with this work.

OTHER Controller racers: I made a small trainer for brake/throttle precision

0 Upvotes

I play racing games on a controller and I've always struggled with one specific thing: consistently hitting partial trigger inputs.

I know I want 70% brake or 30% throttle, but actually producing the same input with my finger is surprisingly difficult — especially after taking a break from the game.

So I made a free browser-based trainer:

1. Target — hold the trigger at a requested value (e.g. 67%) and see how accurate you were.

2. Curve — follow a target input curve, roughly simulating things like trail braking or progressively applying throttle on corner exit.

There's also a blind mode where you can't see your current input, so you have to rely on the feel of the trigger.

Try it here — Trigger Trainer

It uses the browser Gamepad API, so it should work with most controllers and possibly pedal bases too.

Free, no ads, no accounts, nothing is uploaded — everything runs locally.

I'd love to hear from other controller racers: what kind of drill would actually be useful to you? Brake release? Throttle modulation? Steering? Combined brake + steering?

I'm trying to build exercises around actual racing skills rather than just making a generic controller tester.

GT Discussion Does anyone know any Camera patches/mods or other patches for Gran Turismo 3?

0 Upvotes

Been playing GT 3 to get reference for some AC mods I've been working on. I know about freecam, but I'm wondering if anyone has some other stuff?

Stuff like a RoofCam, or even modified controls like GT4 has available?

I have a load of cheats and a few patches but nothing else.
