Official Sony Press Release:

More than 20 tracks with more than 70 variations featuring famous world circuits and real-world city locales.

The question is, do you always spew out inaccuracies? rofl.gif

Great find Killa. THAT is epic and sick all at once. w00t.gif

Isn't that basically the kind of modification that has been in Gran Turismo since ... forever? package stage modification

I didn't realize back then we could choose that many weight reduction choices in the back including doors. I must have missed them.

You can't now either, look at the picture, It's just a visual representation of the car and nothing else. What you can upgrade is right below the car; Stage 1, 2 and 3 - That's it.

Confusing then. Because they are allowing us to reduce weight independently with a carbon fiber hood. The car break away shows the hood being separate. To me it looks like there might be more options on weight reduction than what we see in that one screenshot.

Maybe not.

Dry Carbon hoods are 2-10 pounds lighter depending on make of car. Wet Carbon usually run the same weight as OEM. If those are the typical dry carbons, they will reduce the weight. That is what I have always run on my cars as well.

Okay, relevant - Thanks.

The car picture in the screenshot is a visual representation of what is in that stage of the upgrade, it'll show seats being taken out, rollcage etc. and they did that in the old GT games as well.

So there's no need to get confused or think the game allows any insanely detailed customizability.

Okay, relevant - Thanks.

After further observation, it appears they are only using it for it's more rigid structure, not the weight loss :(. Oh well, so much for my hopes of fine tuning weight :)

Anyone know if the 2010 Corvette ZR1 is premium or standard?

ZR1 is premium ^

Weight reduction screenshot is a good find +!!

The screenshot only shows stage 1, if you move onto stage 2 or 3, it would probably be more indepth like the removal of seats and inclusion of rollbars (if you with with rigidity option in the corner), **** I can't wait.

I am looking online for a pre-order deal for the standard version. So far I only see Gamestop has the game for $59.99 and that includes two exclusive cars (stealth Mclaren and a Gamestop NASCAR). Anyone see any better pre-order deals...lower price or better offerings, in the U.S.?

Thanks for the premium confirmation on the ZR1. That is great news (and that is my favorite car!).

GTPlanet asked Kaz himself to clarify the track situation yesterday, so please, stop being so butthurt any time someone corrects you or proves you wrong.

LOL...ok. Ignore Sony's and PD's official track info. Are you crying?

ok children put your willies away, we shall see who's right when the game comes out

Indeed. Is Sony right, or is AB right?

LOL...ok. Ignore Sony's and PD's official track info. Are you crying?

Do you know who Kaz is? Go read.

Once more...

As we were the first session and had a slight overrun, Kazunori couldn't take many questions. However, he was able to confirm that the number of unique courses available in the game is "more than 70″

Yeah, that's been there as far back as GT3, from what I can remember. It's probably been there since the first one.

LOL...ok. Ignore Sony's and PD's official track info. Are you crying?

AB's quote came directly from Kazunori Yamauchi, who is the creator of the Gran Turismo series (as well as CEO of PD), so I think it's a safer bet to take Kaz's word over Sony's press release.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but we are not getting 70 different track locations. It's already been confirmed otherwise. As usual, those translations never work for him, lol. I have posted the official information direct from Sony.

BTW, I know who he is (only been enjoying his games since the beginning of time).

WTF?

It says over 70 unique tracks, not 70 unique track locations.

You're talking about his translations "not working" and you can't even read a quote from GTPlanet in your standard language?

You have more spin coming out of your mouth than George W. Bush. Now you are changing your tune yet again. I recommend not replying any longer. You are not doing yourself any favors, lol!

Where the **** does that say location?

You basically have the IQ of George Bush it seems.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant. Policy Updates / New policies CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled - Enable Copilot address bar suggestions CpuPerformanceTierOverride - Override for the CPU performance tier DataUrlInWebWorkerOpaqueOriginEnabled - Enable opaque origins for data URLs in Web Workers DefaultLocalFontsSetting - Default Local Fonts permission setting ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - Force foreground priority for specific URLs LocalFontsAllowedForUrls - Allow Local Fonts permission on these sites LocalFontsBlockedForUrls - Block Local Fonts permission on these sites Deprecated policies WalletDonationEnabled - Wallet Donation Enabled (deprecated) EdgeWalletEtreeEnabled - Edge Wallet E-Tree Enabled (deprecated) Additional policy changes ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - ForceForegroundPriorityForOrigins is renamed to ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls OnSecurityEventEnterpriseConnector - Add macOS platform support ProtectedContentIdentifiersAllowed - Remove macOS platform support Download: Microsoft Edge (64-bit) | 193.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Microsoft Edge (32-bit) | 170.0 MB Download: Microsoft Edge (ARM64) | 188.0 MB View: Microsoft Edge Website | Release History Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
