Good to see the AI also having some difficulties in the rain and not that you're the only one spinning and the AI driving to the finish without any problems.

[@w.roberts8078]

Couldn’t smell the rain in game. 1/10

[@bananaautos9227]

The fact that it started raining on the highest part of the track around the Hohe Acht, where normally that part of the track gets the first rain or snow, is soooo realistic and amazing at the same time.... my mind is just blown away, wow

[@OFFICIALJB5]

There's nothing I love seeing more than AI making mistakes in Gran Turismo, it makes the game feel more realistic

[@dave011679]

If you ever get the pleasure of driving in Florida during the summer, you’ll get to see our real world driving conditions are quite similar to the “torrential downpour” conditions in the game. You’ll be driving on a perfectly dry patch of road before running into a deluge when you can literally see the wall of water heading towards you. Straight line clouds indeed

[@keefgtp]

Also those hydroplaning physics are actually pretty realistic in terms of speed. There's an equation to find out when an airplane's tire will hydroplane (they're almost all the same design) and it's simply 9*sqrt of PSI. If we assume that 911's tires are at 30 PSI, sqrt is 5.4 times 9 is 49 knots...about 60 mph. So yeah, that's a solid ballpark. A nearly-slick tire will simply stop functioning at about that speed.

I love that they programmed to AI to have major issues in torrential with Hard tires. Also they make decisions based on ingame statistics instead of pre-game settings.

[@TheDarkestOne]

Why can't you see the rain though? You can hear it. The wipers are on. The tracks wet. No visual rain though. I feel like that's a fail.

[@duncanmacleod7287]

Dollar store rain effect.

[@rjpm92]

That straight line weather front is actually quite common. It's called a Squall Line and can form along the leading edge of a cold front. From my very limited knowledge it seems like it's fairly accurate for a bright warm sunshine to massive thunderstorm change.

[@emerestthisk990]

Really impressed with how they implemented weather in this game, adds a whole new dimension of course

[@VINAYAKSONI007]

Brilliant setting of weather looks just spectacular and jaw dropping!

[@VitorHugoOliveiraSousa]

Actually the straight line in the weather radar probably is realistic. More than one time I have seen torrential rain coming in a "straight wall" towards me. Sure in large scales the clouds formation and rain patterns probably aren't straight but curverd or cycles, but in smaller scales their do look straight.

[@yoshida.azumi.]

That looks phenomenal. I'm really hoping for many evening into night races too, since it's been mostly daytime across the entire franchise (except the obvious ones like Special Stage), and would really switch things around for a change. Big kudos. ;)

[@caelum-5584]

The sound of the rain hitting the track is so damn relaxing!

[@mbh9566]

The reason the rain system looks like a straight line is because of the limited range of the weather radar. And because you chose the torrential rain option, so the system is so big that it comes in like a wall going through and likely past the radars range.

[@Garyridesweebikes]

Cycling round my local roads (East Lothian Scotland) I've seen a completely straight line between dry and wet road surface from localised rainfall many times. Not all that often. But it definitely happens

[@llcoolmartine]

That's a nice Dalek moment at @
