I’ve qualified on pole and won a race on each day of the limited-time demo so far! Some of this may have to do with the fact that it’s a free demo with lots of yahoos who don’t know how to drive properly.

First win was in a Group-B spec GT86 (AWD with plenty of horsepower) on the short East Course of Suzuka Circuit. This car is a HOOT to drive on tarmac. Soft offroad suspension means loosey goosey handling but with plenty of power going through the AWD drivetrain to dance the car around the track. I spun it in an attempt to snag the glory of having the fastest lap. Luckily I had enough of a lead to still win!

Second win was in a 100+ mph shifter kart on a fun little fictional course that really only required braking for a single hairpin on. Qualified on pole, won first place, and got fastest lap on this one. The Mexican driver on the first lap managed to ride my draft really well through the first corner but he tried to pass on the wrong side, left the tarmac, and spun it. Easy win after that.

I took this win in a Miata spec race at the Brands Hatch Indy circuit. Pole position allowed me to avoid the chaos of the first corner (even though cold tires still made it a little hairy for me) and run away with the lead, eventually catching up to a Brazilian in last place after 5 laps. He did not appreciate getting lapped.

I’ve been having a ton of fun with the game’s photo modes, too. Taking shots in both race replays and the game’s dedicated photo mode, Scapes, is a bunch of fun for someone like me who loves cars and photography. Here are the best shots I’ve taken so far.

Feel free to add me on PSN (MarquetteLa)! I’ll be playing the full game a bunch when it comes out on Tuesday.

Looks awesome. I still have a PS3, but this makes getting a PS4 tempting.

Also, do I spy a rally/racing Peugeot RCZ behind the rally GT86?

Yep! It’s a part of the Gr.B class, which is meant to echo Group B with newly homologated cars (and some classics like the Audi Quattro)

Ooh, looks a lot like the 208 PikesPeak, but then with a better roof line. I like it!

I am bummed I missed the online play. I had a crazy busy week but was finally able to fire her up last night. I did a bunch of the driving school tests and beat the Stage 1 challenges. I am really liking it so far.

Good news, the demo was extended a day! So if you have time to get some races in today you’ll be able to.

Honestly you could have mixed in heavily touched up real life shots and I wouldnt have noticed the difference between reality and game! Crazy how cool these look.

The Scapes photo mode is surprisingly powerful. If you have a vision for an image, you can likely create it. I haven’t even played around with more than one car at a time, but you can fit 3 cars into most Scapes locations.

Oh really? I’ll get right on that!

You got any more of that 86 Rally car? I want maybe two more, in 1600x900. For research purposes.

(seriously the rally cars are the best designs in the game)

I can take more later tonight.

EDIT: Just realized this photo isn’t full-res. I’ll update it in a couple hours.

Just one more: the F-type Gr.3 car. I’ve had an infatuation with it because it’s everything I want that Jaguar won’t ever make. If you can make some art-sy screens with that, preferably against the real-life GT3 cars, I would gift you platinum.

Here’s the full-res version of the photo I posted earlier.

And here’s a bonus (Gr.4 I think) 86.

I’m glad to take the Jag out for some shots tonight. I like design briefs! :)
