Gran Turismo SPORT, Taikan

Oct.Free update for Gran Turismo SPORT on PlayStation 4 (PS4)and is Porsche's first EV sports car, thetie kongThe "The car is now available for use. The interior, the car's behavior, and the sound of the motor were all reproduced quite precisely, and my husband immediately obtained one in the game and was able to drive it.

And the other day, my husband, who drove the Taikan on the Fuji Speedway, said this to me.

Taikan, it's so much better. It's so different from the Cayman GT4 and 911 I've been using.No gears, so it feels like you can accelerate fully in 6th gear at any time, even from low speeds.and. The lower center of gravity due to the motor in the car gives it a grinding acceleration. It's fast and very easy to drive. I'm getting more and more interested in Taikan.

And. Oh, really.... And then my husband said, "Why don't you try running, Mina?So I decided to try Gran Turismo SPORT with a steering wheel controller for the first time in several months, saying, "Since I went to a Porsche driving school, I might as well try driving.

Select Taikan in the game and choose Fuji Speedway.I drove it immediately and found that the motor's squeaky acceleration sound was quite realistic.And indeed, the acceleration from low speeds is amazing.Like an engine car, there is no need to change gears one at a time to accelerate, and the car is fast from the moment you step on it.

Also, on the home straight, theNo upshifting and very quiet, but only fast speed.So, it was somewhat strange.

As for steering wheel operation, etc., I do not usually drive in Gran Turismo SPORT.(I've only run a few times before)There's no way to compare.Sliding down a curve without turning.It was easy to drive, with little "I" and fast start-up.

But this is just the Porsche Truck Experience (PTE) I just had the other day.

Full braking from acceleration, steering after shifting the load, steering effortlessly with ring and pinky fingers, out-in-out, pushing when turning a curve.

Perhaps it is just that it was easier to drive as a result of being aware of such factors as the following. And as a result of driving at Fuji Speedway, the time was "1 minute 57 secondsIt was."

Late... (-_-)

Yuta Uemura, who was competing in this season's PCCJ, actually ran this Fuji course and set a course record of 1 minute 40 seconds!Yes, it is. Even though the cars are different, I wonder where I can go another 17 seconds faster....really amazing....

However, I don't remember all the courses and I'm not very good at course taking, so I think I can improve a little more with practice. However, I think I would be too scared to drive the actual Fuji course at the same speed as in the game.

The World of e-sports

It is an amazing time to be able to experience a car that you can't even test drive yet in a game. However, in the old days, we used to be able to play games likeIt's just a game, right?I thought it would be a bit different from driving in real life, but I heard that the courses and cars in the Gran Turismo SPORT game are quite realistic and not that different from driving in real life.(Of course, it won't cost you any G's or anything, but...)

Recently, e-sports has been gaining momentum and the number of people competing has increased, and it has developed into a truly global sport, butOn the other hand, it is gradually overshadowed by the world's motor showsI also ask.

Times are certainly changing.

Today, I am reminded of the need to cherish the goodness of what has been handed down from generation to generation, while at the same time incorporating new ideas to open the door to a world that has yet to be discovered.
