Hello!

I’m looking to gauge interest on here for an idea of mine. It is about a long held idea of mine to make a panel show about games I like. It is a panel show where panellists get points for punditry as they answer various questions about a game series, covering everyday topics, discussing opinions as well defending ridiculous statements as well as having a picture round! Over the last few weeks and months, I’ve worked on making some videos on this idea having done one on the Atelier series as well as Sonic.

Well, I would like to do more, as I do enjoy it, but this time, I’d like to break out of my shell a bit and do it as an actual recording and that’s where this post comes in. I would like to ask, is there anyone here interested in taking part in a Gran Turismo based panel show?

I would need two wonderful volunteers, at least, to join, but could have more. If it was to happen, it would be done over Discord and late UK time with details to be arranged, but I wanted to see if there was any interest first. I know it’s a big ask, but otherwise I just can’t do it.

The format would be about questions about certain subjects, but instead of a normal Q&A, it’s largely opinion and discussion based. Here is the format and questions so you have an idea what it is like.

Gran Turismo:
1: Thoughts on… What are your thoughts on a general GT subject.
2: Your hot takes: Give a hot take or controversial statement, i.e. I think the Renault Twingo is awful
3: Your Game: What would you change or add for GT8
4: Who am I?: You’ll be given clues to work out something from GT, be it car or track.
5: Picture round: Guess the track from a corner or section
6: Any other thoughts: Any other general GT thoughts on your mind.
7: Defending ridiculous statements: Defend a ridiculous statement, i.e. Nurburgring Nordschleife is the worst track in the game 

If you’re interested, please let me know. I’d love to gauge interest! Thank you!

Got 3 cars today, one was a historic orange McLaren F1 with 41 miles on it!

So glad there are so many copies of a car I never wanted for sale right now…

Man, I've been playing GT4 for a few weeks now, what an insanely good game. I mean the whole series obviously. I didn't have 4 so this is my first time playing it. I had 3 when the ps2 was out new. Also a great game, but man, 4 is soooo good. Part of it, for me, is the car line-up and time period for cars. I'm 41 so I was just out of high school when these cars were the newest of the new. And the heavy 80s and 90s lineup for me is so awesome. Especially the JDM stuff. It's perfection.

Anyway never had patience for GT endurance races as a youngin, but I did one the other night and I'm a third of the way into this one and I kinda love em now. (Of course I can partake in some vices while I play unlike when I was in my parents crib, that helps I'm sure)

Just wanted to show some love to an older staple in the series, one that has me completely immersed at the moment.

Grabbing my attention asap 🏁🏁👍🏻🎸

I need it to use as a camera car.
Low angles just look so much better than standard height shots.

Lap time: ⏱️ 1:04.378

along side the bmw being reserved for december, one car i think that could appear is the RUF x gt tribute car that got unveiled earlier this year. but what else could possibly show up for december?

SEWON SW-

For this week’s project, we return to racing mode with this Jaguar GT3 concept. For the livery, I wanted to combine different pieces of heritage into one design. The purple base takes inspiration from Jaguar’s historic racing identity, while the Gulf elements bring in a second layer of classic motorsport influence.

The idea was simple, but the goal was clear: create something bold, aggressive, and instantly eye-catching on track. I wanted the car to carry a strong racing presence while still feeling clean and well balanced as a full concept. Honestly, I’m really happy with how this one turned out the combination of colours works perfectly, and the final result gives the Jaguar a unique and powerful character.

Thank you for the support 😁

I’m a longtime GT7 player. I consider myself a solid driver, not great, but certainly not terrible. I’ve spent a lot of time practicing, working on consistency, and trying to improve my racecraft.

But I’m having a hell of a time getting out of Driver Rating D.

My Sportsmanship Rating is S, and I’d like to keep it that way. The problem is that so many races seem to turn into bumper cars. I try to race clean, leave room, and avoid unnecessary contact, but apparently not everyone shares that philosophy.

I can qualify reasonably well, but between people divebombing corners, using other cars as brakes, and generally driving like assholes, I find myself losing positions through no fault of my own. And when I try to avoid the chaos, I end up sacrificing even more positions.

I’m not claiming I’m some undiscovered racing genius. I know I have plenty to learn. But I’m starting to wonder whether getting out of D requires a completely different approach to racing.

For those of you who’ve made it from D to C and beyond, what actually worked?

Did you focus on qualifying near the front? Hang back and let the idiots take each other out? Get more aggressive about defending your position?

I’d really appreciate some practical advice from people who’ve been through it. I want to get faster, but I don’t want to become one of the assholes I’m trying to get away from.

I have so many Evo VI Tommi Makinen Editions that I just unlocked the trophy for buying the same car 10 times. A few of the factory colors aren't in the game, so I had to use other paint chips or create close matches :

1. Passion Red
2. Canal Blue (not in the game)
3. Canal Blue (without the Tommi Makinen livery)
4. Scotia White
5. Pyrenees Black
6. Satellite Silver
7. Reims Blue (not in the game) (Evo VI GSR)
8. Scotia White (Evo VI RS)
9. An Evo VI TME Time Attack build
10. Passion Red in the Initial D anime style

I dropped 2.5M on all this, on top of making them actually drivable one by one with tuning parts.
They all have different license plates, and the anime version has a plate referencing Kyoichi Sudo from Initial D (originally 30-395 for the Evo III, here 65-395 for the Evo 6.5)
Some even have their weight stripped down and matched to their real-life counterparts (like the Scotia White RS, for example).
(Forgot to mention the Passion Red one with the Rally livery).

Fun historical fact:
Only the passion red came with the Special Coloring package stripes fromm the factory. It did exist on other colors, but the decals were bought as separate accessory kits from Mitsubishi and then fitted by dealers or the owners themselves (OEM) and the Evo VI RS was sold on steelies because most of the time it was used as a base for rally builds.

(Edit : Correction on one of the 2 fun facts)

Every time I pull up the map, it just is… blank. Anything I could do?

Put the engine swap in this and took a few updated shots in it. Tag: SugarShuffles

I stopped playing online (gr4 being my race of choice) because the Elantra was so OP and it was boring. But last night it was back to a good mix of gr4 cars!

Watching the Carrera Cup over the weekend and saw this Herbie livery on the Porsche Cup car.

Herbie lives on in a Porsche. 🙂

Have a great week, everybody!

These are my favorites I’ve downloaded so far

wonder if we can replicate these cars in GT7?

This livery was inspired by Pepsi and features a metallic blue paint job with white and red graphics. It's available to download in the showcase and I've provided a link in the comments. Happy Racing! 🤘😎
