Evolution of Pit Stops in Gran Turismo (1997 - 2022 / GT1 - GT7)
Pit stops and tire wear have been a feature in the Gran Turismo series since the very first game, although for a long time they were mostly limited to endurance races. Here you can see what a pit stop looks like in every Gran Turismo game when pitting at the same time as the AI opponents.
Timeline:
0:00 Gran Turismo 1 - Pit Stop at Grand Valley
0:45 Gran Turismo 2 - Pit Stop at Laguna Seca
1:30 Gran Turismo 3 - Pit Stop at Tokyo R246
2:14 Gran Turismo 4 - Pit Stop at Suzuka
3:04 Gran Turismo 5 - Pit Stop at Nürburgring
4:09 Gran Turismo 6 - Pit Stop at Silverstone
5:10 Gran Turismo Sport - Pit Stop at Blue Moon Bay
6:08 Gran Turismo 7 - Pit Stop at Watkins Glen
In Gran Turismo 1 and 2 tire wear was only active in the endurance races but in GT3 it was used in a bunch of other events as well. Gran Turismo 4 introduced fuel usage and an actual pit crew animation during stops.
In GT 4-6 the refueling starts immediately but in GT Sport and GT7 it only begins after the tires are changed, so you can save time by not changing tires. As you can see in the GT7 clip Portilla enters the pit behind me but he leaves quite a bit earlier due to not changing tires.
I always put a lot of effort into these evolution videos and this one was no exception. I could have just recorded a quick stop after lap 1 in each game but instead I spent many more hours on this video, so that I could show you what it looks like when you stop together with the AI.
This actually revealed some interesting details. In GT2 you will ghost through the other cars as they are turning into their pit boxes but in GT3 you will crash into them, so you can actually lose a bit of time if you are entering the pit right behind someone.
In GT Sport and GT7 the other cars are hidden while in the pit lane, so you can respawn inside of another car if you exit the pit lane at the exact same time.
If you appreciate the work that I put into these videos and want to support them, then also check out these previous videos that went under the radar:
• Evolution of Laguna Se... (Evolution of Laguna Seca and Dodge Viper GTS-R)
• Evolution of Fuji Spee... (Evolution of Fuji Speedway and Nissan R92CP)

I don't care about graphic but reality and physic, the old 2 games vas faaar away in this case, try tu put old and new game side by side, and than let bow run slowly and fast same curve, then play those clips in the same time but fast ones play in slowmotion in the same speed, tell me that new one is real xd, I don't know, meabe am just driving lot of in real life but, i just cant play those games anymore, stupit gta inline have more funny physics xx
😮true
No g 4 to gt5
The jump from gt2 to gt3 is insane, especially when considering that it was 2001.
It's going from PS1 to PS2 so it's to be expected.
gameplay wise GT3 was just a GT2 retextured though
I remember always playing gt3 with my dad bro, still have the game to this day
Yeah but your tires are still changed by ghosts lol
Same thing I was thinking I was like wow
GT4 still looks great for it's time.
The legendary glitched yellow lancer evo
Looks like a ps3 game
Byt it also looks very flat: NO visual sense of speed at all
Gt5 for me is the best racing game ever
its* time
Considering the PS2 specs (300MHz, 32MB RAM), GT4 is unbelievable good. The dev team brings out the max of the PS2.
Gran Turismo in general brings out the max of playstation
I would say the same for GT6 and PS3.
I still remember playing that game back in the day and being blown away how good the graphics were for the the time period. Now watching this video it still is crazy that that was on ps2 and not the next gen console
Nah shadow of the collusus bought it out along with GTA sa
I really like the cutscenes that Sport and 7 have, but I wish they integrated it into reality instead of just phasing your car out of existence - it's a bit of a shame to have such nice driving just to have your car vanish into the pits and phase into another coming out. Bit weird.
@@sandiegoavgeek6 not really since every gt had it
@@sandiegoavgeek6 Nope. It hasn't been that way in the old games.
Definitely
It might be hard to load all of the other pit crews/plAyers coming in and out glitching into each other
At least the newer GT7 tracks like the Spa 24h layout and Watkins Glen sort of have this (with cutscenes of your car actually driving to its pit box and out of the pit lane once the stop is complete). Still a shame we only have that on two tracks though.
The graphical difference between gt2 and gt3 is incredible
It's like the graphical difference from GTA III and GTA IV
They have upscaled if you play them on ps2 it won't be like this video
@@shikarabubakr2865 still looks very impressive on ps2
Because PS1 and PS2 is a big difference
GT2 was my first GT game and then i remember getting GT3 and it was amazing, the best looking game i had ever seen hands down.
we went from levitating off the ground, to having full cutscenes. god i love seeing the progression of games throughout time
Emulators kids. This is NOT what old school PS1 and PS2 games looked like.
Shh dont ruin it for them lol
It looked more blurry and pixelated i know dude
1:45 idk why but this made me laugh uncontrollably for absolutely no reason 🤣
Cause it’s goofy.
He just did the same thing that Kyle Busch did to Kevin Harvick at the end of the 2011 Southern 500 at Darlington (NASCAR Sprint Cup Series)
I chuckled enough my wife instantly looked over at my phone to see if she could ruin my fun.
I love that you used the Castrol Supra in every vid, such a gorgeous car and always fun to drive.
Thanks because I was scrolling through the comments trying to find the proper name for that car. I miss driving it.
@@Max-oi9es It is Castrol Tom's Supra. Fun fact: It had 4 cylinder engine.
@@jurekgadzinowski2895 that fact was indeed fun
@@Max-oi9es brother I found you
I much prefer the nsx over it
From GT4 to GT6 they give you the option to change the compound in either front and rear tyres. I don't know why they didn't do the same in GT Sport and GT7. I want to see that back
The cinematic aspect from Sport and 7 I like, but just remove the teleporting from in to out and it'd be perfect. Still have a soft spot for the GT4 pit stops even though it's very obvious the wheels are not round.
Absolutely agree. I've only played GT1, Sport and 7 and after playing F1 22 the pit stops in GT7 feel horrendous now. Not only do they take a ridiculous amount of time when the ai do them 3x faster but it's also just so awkward and experience killing to disappear and see your pit crew just standing there for 3 seconds scratching their asses.
GT6 is underrated imo, it being just in the interior makes the pitstop feel longer and perfectly captures the dread of waiting for it to finish
GT6 doesn’t work on PS3 slim anymore. It literally won’t update and so, you can’t play it. Gran Turismo is an awful game made by awful developers on a platform that doesn’t care about its gamers/customers.
@@i20nScot It's a fucking PS3 dude. It came out 2009. 13 years ago. Buy a PS4 at least, fuck.
@@i20nScot incorrect, gt6 works perfectly on ps3 slim. Gt7 is a disappointment to me although it is better than GT Sport, still can’t match GT5❤️
@@i20nScot wdym i can still play it
@@i20nScot here I hope this helps you. To be able to update the game you have to do it slowly, what do I mean by this? After every update you install in XMB you have to enter the game for it to be able to install the update in-game. For example, after you finished installing 1.10 quit of the process and then enter the game without installing any other update, once inside the game will tell you that it has to read the update or something, let it finish and the get out of the game and repeat all of this for every single update that you install. Just remembered that you can install at least 3 updates at a time if you find it tedious, But remember to never dowload all of the updates at once since doing that can damage your PS3 Slim
Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer the older pit stops. GT4 was my favourite style. Watching your car go into the pits, seeing the pit crew from different angels change the tires and fuel, then seamlessly going back to the race. The cutscene style in GT Sport and 7 just isn’t it. Plus in some tracks the transition is way to fast, and then others you are sitting waiting for 30 seconds. But great video! Love the nostalgia trip with the older games!
Oh shut up 🙄
It's always an anxiety to wait like 30 - 40 seconds in the bigger tracks
Exactly! In Sport and 7 you have no idea when you will come in.
That's why I've always said that GT4 is my favorite one. It's always held a special place in my heart
I prefer the much older pit stops. GT3 was my favourite style. Watching your car go into the pits, seeing the different invisible demons change the tires and fuel, then seamlessly going back to the race.
Since GT Sport, this has become unrealistic, because when you go to the pit entrance, you are teleported near your mechanics and when they are finished, you are teleported again to the pit exit. And worst of all, you don't know where you are compared to the other drivers, you don't know if you passed someone in the pits or if you were passed by someone or if you successful your Over Cut or if the opponent's Under Cut worked
I believe this was done to avoid unforeseen issues with the AI script while traveling in the pit lane, we have seen how it can struggle when multiple cars quickly go into pit during GT5/6 multiplayer. So they simply put a delay between pit lane entry and the pit itself to maintain fairness. It's lazy, but it's probably the easiest way to not ruin FIA races. Alternatively they could let drivers manually drive in the pit lane but that's just inviting assholes and trolls lol
@@mimimimeow Probably the best and THE MOST REALISTIC idea out here. Just make the players interact in PIT by themselves. Yeah, trolls would be annoying, but let's make it that one mistake in PIT = 5 secs of penalty. Also, cars in PIT could be ghosted if something goes wrong. Idk why almost none game has this feature except AC Competizione, but that's completely different game...
so true
@@PatrikKunik Project Cars 2 also has it, you can move freely inside the pit lane... and be punished accordingly, while in pits all cars are ghosted. Its very immersive.
@ICEYOU GT4 and GT2 have far better pit animations than 7.
The jump in graphics from ps to ps2 is insane
Indeed
Ps use 96 graphic, it take 5 years to achieve ps2 level. But still impressive.
1:31 wow! GT3 still looks incredible!
In this video, it looks better than 6 😂😂😂😂
Playing on an emulator
power of 4k gaming
Gran turismo 2 sounds was so great man miss them 😂👍
Hard to believe that GT4 is a PS2 game.. This game was ahead of its time
GT4 is where PD really squeeze every drop of the PS2 performance.
@@farishanafiah8461 100%, it felt next gen when it was released
If you think it looks good, take a look at wrc 4.
Idk man, it didnt look like this back them
I’m pretty sure tha the version put on This video was not the original gt4 for ps2, I think it’s some kind of mod for pc emulator
If they combine the cinematic style of Sport/7, and make it the same way as Spa 24H in 7, but with no teleporting like 4, it'll be the best. In Spa 24H in GT7, the cutscene lasts for a very long time.
In Spa 24H IRL, if your box is towards the end of the old pit lane, getting there takes a very long time.
@@himagainstill and that's what separates men from the boys in terms of strategy. The teleporting in other tracks makes it childish and lack any sense of timing, as everyone is in an equal playing field rather than relying on wits and strategy
2:35 two of the most iconic Gran Turismo cars right there
what model is that yellow Nissan
@@fromfunkytown7502 pennzoil nismo GT-R
@@fromfunkytown7502 That's the Pennzoil Zexel GT-R, not to be confused with the Pennzoil Nismo GT-R
I will agree that GT4 felt way ahead of its time but GT5 is where the feeling was with the pit stops
Gt5 was just great at everything it was able to do and less good in others. Most idiots only look at the negative of it
@@NVegianP I would love a whole game of just the photo location mode.
3:35 yeah I love that 5 lug change animation on a center lug wheel. nice touch.
When I was younger it was mind blowing seeing how each game made it more realistic, now that it’s been roughly the same for a few games I’m ready for the next big jump. I want to see a guy pulling the windshield tear-off, a guy cleaning out the bumper grill, guys fixing bodywork if need be, brake replacement, etc.
thats too much for track racing (I dont think they replace body parts).
I want to see a manager pulling you out and slapping some sense into the driver if he crash the car too much...
GT7 itself is a weird one in that there is a distinct difference between the tracks in the game at launch, and what's been added in updates. At LeMans, for example, when you enter the pits you will end up spending 30+ seconds watching your pitcrew just standing there before you car appears. But in the 24 hour layout of Spa, which was added in the very first content update, you will see considerably more shots of your car travelling into the pitlane itself, which is far more interesting. Hopefully all the tracks will get updated to a consistent standard eventually.
I really liked the pit stop animation in GT4. IMO PD has never really topped that.
Same with sport
5:03 gotta head over to the car wash with that one lol
That Turbo Sound in GT2. Legend!!
0:47 thats where the annoying tire sound started
Love the fact that we don't see other cars in pit lane in GT7.. In a 2022 game. Genius.
I love the evolution of the pit stops, from just a floating car, to having actual pot crews sporting the Gran Turismo logo and the big overhaul to the cutscenes!
The collision in the GT3 pit stop takes me back. I still remember following the leader into the pits in Grand Valley, for the final pit stop of my first endurance race. The leader seemed to have better pace and I was sure he'd pull away after the stop. I was watching him in the rear view as I sat in my box as he came of the jacks and was released directly into the path of a third car entering the box in front of his. He got stuck for a while and it was gg 😛
Another reason GT4 was the OG vs others like GT3 which I think is just a demo. On the same hardware... gt4 gives you the option to change tires, refuel or both AND to switch game modes (Which you couldn't do later) AND gives you an animated pit crew not just for your car but also the opponents, on a PS2!! Then you get GT7 where the only special thing... is the driver who presumably is going to the store out of town with your dad because he's been gone so long.
GT7's pitstop takes forever
I love the little detail in GT6 where you can see your team waving at you with the Brakes On/1st Gear sign
0:54 Castrol, Unisia, Penzoil. I barely remember what I've had for lunch today but I still recognize those liveries after 23 years.
Pit stops are still bs in GT7: On some tracks you just watching your crew for half a minute until your car reach them... Old vs new tyres are always the same type while you change it to other type. (if you change a slick to IM both are slicks, when you chane an IM to slicks both are IM). Tyre changing crew just disappears when you selecting "no change". No refuelling animation for many cars. On some tracks AI cars spawning back on the middle of the track. AI cars always cheating and pitting faster.
Unfortunately, you are absolutely right about the last point. I only noticed this recently in a race. This will only make it harder to win the race.
Yeah on the tskuba Miata race, the AI pits for new tires and refils Petrol from 3% in half the time it took me to change tires and refil from 8% and it's not due to overcut/undercut as I entered the pit a car length in front and he exited the pit 15 seconds ahead of me.........
I tried to pit on interlagos i believe, i spent 40something seconds watching my pit stop crew just exiting while i faded from 4th to last.
@@Takeda_Katsuyori I already thought that something is off here..... since days I try to finish the Daytona Group 1 race but ffs I just can't get a place in the top three. I've noticed that the ai is extremely fast with the pit stops. It's like they refuel the exact amount they really need and instantly leave the pit....wtf
The last point is the reason I absolutely fucking hate endurance races in GT7. The time is takes the AI to pit compared to you is about 5x faster and its absolutely bullshit.
GT1 & GT2 have better animation of pitstop of all Forza Motorsport...
and GT3
Ikr ? They can go Super Sayan without any pit stop crew to help
Thanks for the upload 👍👍👍
You just took us back to the 90s. I am addictive to this game since GT1 came out.
GT3 was the first one I ever played. Fell in love back then.
Gt4 gráficos insanos pra época, até hoje é bonito !
The wheels aren’t round
I remember being 3-6 years old and playing Gran Turismo 4. My favorite combo was the Calsonic GT-R R32 and Special Stage Route 5. I only knew how to play arcade mode so I would only play 2 lap races but still always pitted on the first lap to see the pit stop animation. It was so realistic at the time.
Impressive dude, i play gt4 at high school. 6 years old me(1995) still play dirt 🥲
Just found your channel while I wait for 18 downloads for GT5 thanks for the walk down memory LANE!!!
I find it quite sad that GT4 had an actuall pitstop and Forza Motersport cant still get it right in 2017
Maybe it’ll change in FM2023 and not just censor it with a timer
Even Virtua Racing on Sega Genesis had an actual pitstop. I guess they just don't think it's important enough to implement it.
How about gt4 pit stops are Better then Gt7 now that’s sad bro
@@D_LGND Aged like milk, it now shows a cinematic style but is way oversimplified compared to GT7 and 4
I still recall GT6 struggling with 1080p especially when it comes to rolling start cutscenes (it doesn't even feel like 30fps sometimes) so my guess is that the pitstop staying in the cockpit view is done to eliminate the need to render detailed pit crew elements at an inconsistent framerate.
I like that you consistently used the Castrol Tom's Supra for every pit stop. Good show!!
Not played since GT4 man this takes me back, and makes me feel very old
GT 5 & 6 were the two Gran Turismo games I played the most. My favorites (so far).
My guess is that in GT Sport they changed to the teleportation due to online multiplayer. Maybe it was easier to sync. I don't get why they didn't add proper real time pit stops on GT7 singleplayer tho.
That GT2 to GT3 jump shook me, and I knew it was coming.
this man was almost an hour in the nurburgring just to show us the pit stop, good job man
GT4 was so good and realistic much improved from GT3
That's how a sequel should be.
Gran Turismo 3 and 4 doesn't just look fantastic for it's time, it looks fantastic for any time!😄
They really don’t…. Look really rough.
…for it is time?
No man they look really rough even for a 2004 game, just look at nfs underground 2
Thanks for uploading
Did not know Watkins Glen is FINALLY on Gran Turismo. This is a game changer. Will definitely be buying this game soon. Thanks for the info.
Got added last month in tandem with June's update 😊
From GT1 to GT6 the pit stop was 10/10 on GT Sport and GT7 they disappear from the existance 6/10
A-Spec was the best. I'd run 24 hour endurance races on B-Spec & farm for credits that way using my Indy Car. I also miss in 2 how you could upgrade your car to racing specs & that would give it decals on a body kit. Or how you could crank 1,000 horse power out of the Escudo Pikes Peak Version. Then there's the oval track with one of those two tye dye colored drag cars (which were thousand horse power monsters that couldn't turn & we're hard as shit to unlock)
Too beautiful how the animation is better
Like! Thanks for the memory bro!
GT3 actually looks incredible. I always will have a special love for 3 over GT4 because it was the flagship release for PS2 and imo it always seems graphically ahead of GT4 in a lot of ways.
No
No (0_0 )
gt4 is overrated asf lmao
6:23 The rope phased through the car
Oh wow that's a blast from the past, the first race on the video was the 60 lap endurance race of grand Valley speedway. I typically used the impreza rally car with standard gear ratio, also that's pretty much where I mastered manual transmission L2/R2.... Good memories 😂
Very beautiful representation of GT history bro.
I've always felt it was pathetic how they went backwards in Sport and 7 with the teleporting and not showing any other cars in the pits. The cinematic style and animations are great, but why does the realism go completely out the window each stop? Most tracks are even worse than this -- waiting 10-30 seconds watching your empty pit stall before the car finally arrives, only to teleport to the exit when the stop is complete. Utter nonsense. At least GT4, 5 and 6 all did this correctly.
As a person who plays gt7 everyday i think it’s good to keep the teleporting exit in the game, idk when i pit other players seem to be already next to me ones i leave and if they din’t had the teleportation exit i me and including other players will loose to tryhards always catching up like fast.
I think it looks cooler. It really shows how good the models look.
definitivamente existe uma lacuna enorme entre forza e gran turismo. Da nem pra comparar como o Forza é outro nivel.
Outro nível abaixo né kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Cada um com sua proposta. Um lança toda hora quase nível Fifa e outro simula uma verdadeira corrida.
Forza outro nível ? tu já viu como é o Pit Stop do Forza ? É igual do GT1 ao 3, nem equipe tem, já GT tem animação da equipe desde GT4, tem que ser muito fãboy de Forza pra dizer que tá em outro nível.
And we saw the evolution of the Supra to boot, with a nice throwback in the last race!
I love how consistent you was with the supra😍
Ojalá algún día hagan el remake de gran turismo 2!
GT7 has got to fix the pit issues, some tracks it takes up to 30 seconds to travel down a pit road just to get to your stall no way it should take that long, look at the older games, you were in and out in the same time it takes just to get into your stall to even start work, and the ability to refuel while getting tires changed should be incorporated, to cut down pit time. And they definitely have to look at fixing getting dinged a 3 second penalty as soon as you are exiting pit road, how can the car be on auto drive and I get hit with a 3 second penalty while exiting?! Happens to me on so many tracks.
Don't cut the exit then. Never seen a car exit the pits on autopilot while cutting the line
To be fair, some organizations ban the practice of refueling while any other work is done to the car, including tire changes.
7つのシリーズで出場し続けるカストロールスープラの強さを教えてくれる動画
I love how it went from not having collisions to hitting the car in front and back to ghost cars.
The new GT games gt sport and GT7 really should include other cars in the same scene and not just your car by itself then popping up at the end exiting.
GT Sport / GT7 is peak car game graphics. Literally insane
Top demais, mais um like garantido!
And that great Castrol Tom's Supra still looking super cool in GT7
A física está espetacular n gt7. Um carro dentro do outro...
A Sony ta de brincadeira com os fãs do GT, vai acabar perdendo espaço para outros jogos de corrida. ( isso se já não perdeu )
3:47 bro? 🤨
Wheel Gunners: "All done!" Fuel guy: *still refueling*
The turbo spooling sound on GT2 goes so damn hard lmao
Can we just take a moment to adore the madlad doing 172 laps on Suzuka?
Pitstops peaked at GT6. The whole franchise peaked at GT6.
More like GT3 /4. GT5 and 6 weren’t really the best received full games but imo I think they were still great
Gt6 isnt good at all especially with the recycled cars, i remember choosing thr Supra and seeing low textured the model is
The cars disappearing into the pits is AWFUL in GT7 and I cannot comprehend why PD did it that way.. it’s so distracting and ridiculous to see the cars pitting in front of you disappear.. they did it so much better in the old games.. and GT4 is still the G.O.A.T. with all of those options. I loved changing to b-spec in longer races!!
Been playing GT since GT1, and just noticed cars lift themselves with Mach-5 A-button style jacks.
Jeez .. that ps5 supra is the nicest looking car ive seen in a game for a long time !! Amazing
The one thing I love about gt4 cause when in endurance mode u can have the option of doing bspec 😂
I remember in the beginning of gt2 racing 3 times back to back on Tahiti road to make enough to be able to buy the 3rd gen Supra! And eventually getting the escudo…good times 😊
Last Gran Turismo game I play is GT2.. damn it was so long time ago. Need to buy my childhood memories back 😅
Nostalgia at is best!
Belíssima evolução
Crazy it took them like 4 games to hire actual pit crews
I love xbox but I'll never forget my play station I've had so much fun with the gran tourism games I've spent nights playing like if was a Lemans real deal thing and omg these graphics were amazin
GT 2 supra sound is sick
I have a Xbox series X but for driving on the sim always gt5 on the ps3 it’s still so amazing
The way that viper roared in gt7 🤤🤤
Man i remember growing up with gran turismo. Seeing the cars forming in front of you is hilarious now, but back then as a child you didnt really notice or care. Lol you could also use it to impress a lot of people for just knowing damn near every car make and model😂
I just love how the first 3 games sent gravity to hell, made the car fly for some seconds and then make it land without any noise at all
1:57 I love how it says "the real driving simulator" as there is a car floating
Fun fact at 1:37. That blue building on the right is the Old Sony HQ. They moved it only recently
I like your vídeos
My God... i was 17... Time flies so fast....
