So, for those who care - Brands finally will be on a Gran Turismo title - according to the preview images.   

About time a legendary British track is included.  

EDIT: And Silverstone.

That looks pretty damn realistic!

It's looking good!

Hoping for a bigger choice of Minis - as it's been lacking from the past couple of releases.

As a regular at brands that looks absolutely amazing

We should have an online group on this when it comes out! Do some classic mini time-trials !!

I just hope that the mini is classified as british this time. I was royally p***** off that I couldn't use my tuned up mini in the british light weight cup in GT5 due to it being classified as german. Uh? I do hope someone got fired for that complete f*** up.

 

Also I've never managed to find any better suspension settings for the mini on any of the granturismo games other than what is stated in the haynes manual. If I do anything else my lap times get worse. The default settings for it on the game are wrong though so first thing is suspension kit, haynes manual settings and then turn my attention to lightening it and the engine.

 

This may be due to my driving style. I prefer cars that tend to oversteer rather than understeer. My mate Dom is the other way round and yet we get comparable times on most of the tracks.

Much swearing happened when I saw that too...

Can't remember my settings, but it took a sometime to get it sweet - just remember bombing round the Autumn Ring and tweaking.  Never thought to use the Haynes!

A TMF time trial would be cool, if not just for forum bragging rights..

I will win! At Goodwood I was in 1st place for a full day on the simulator.

Not talent, I have the same wheel at Home :L

Great, will look out for it in 2018

 

 

Brands. is in Grid2 but only the Club Circuit

[Hrimfaxi]

Yeah, that's true - probably will be bloody delayed!

[Black.Ghost]

That will be pretty cool.

As for the mini I was thinking this just last night. I mostly got bored with the game but use it just to race laps of the Ring now. I can't get any decent settings for my tuned Mini. I have 3 (a red cooper, a BRG cooper and a Marcos). My red one is sitting at 170 bhp but every time I choose that to race, it puts me against the top super cars - Lambo Gallardo, the GT by Citroen, Ferrari 458s etc. It doesn't matter how good the mini is, it will never stand a chance against them.

My BRG one is tuned to about 78 (roughly what mine will be) and that still gets out against things it doesn't stand a chance of beating. So frustrating. I've got a 275 bhp BMW MINI Cooper S as well which is good fun to race round.

I feel exactly the same about. This wasn't impressed
