I’ve been playing Gran Turismo Sport since it launched in 2017. One of the new features that Polyphony Digital added to the series was the ability to create and share decals and liveries for cars, helmets, and race suits. Car customization is not new in racing games; the Forza series was doing this in the Xbox 360 generation, and I remember Top Gear Rally for the Nintendo 64 gave players the ability to customize the paint scheme of the cars. It’s cool to see some of the content players are uploading to Gran Turismo and even cooler that you can download the liveries/decals and apply them to your own vehicles.
However, there is one fatal flaw with GT Sport with the community content: the search is TERRIBLE. I think the search shows “popular content” (like the top 100 overall) then you apply filters to that list. When you show “by date” the date range is only 3-7 days at a time. There’s no way to search for a specific livery across the years of content.
Thankfully, M_Anony from the GT Planet forums created a search engine for the content and it… is… great.
The features are bare with only a search box to type in your search term and a drop-down to pick a specific car. Ultimately, what more do you need? M_Anony also has search engines for decals, helmets, race suites, and replays.
