I'm curious - how did the max rear aero make the cars unstable? Increasing rear downforce will only increase stability as it creates understeer, especially at high speeds. It also only has a VERY small effect on acceleration.
Adding ballast to the rear at the same time can cause some liftoff oversteer which can cause instability when cornering. It's odd you find it slower. Every single classic muscle car (and a lot of newer cars) I've tested has been faster over a lap with some rear ballast. They were also faster in the drag races. I've even got a youtube video testing several scenarios where cars such as the quattro swapped Golf, Chevy Chevelle and Porsche 911 were faster over a lap with ballast weight, and more consistent, too.

No one update beating yet the January Update. I think is still the worst one of the GT7 history.

Good open wheel force feedback seems to be in the same purgatory as the Fullforce implementation and the modern Suzuka signage update from the 2023 GTWS, unfortunately.
Do we know if any of the world tour drivers have mentioned if the GTWS build of the game has it fixed? Considering they have to drive the X2019 every time.

a CH-R? WHAT THE HELL! There is literally not a single more boring car than that. Even the Prius is more interesting (memeable). Seriously these guys need new leadership.

Good thing there's 3 other potentially interesting cars in this update you conveniently excluded to be overdramatic.

Am I the Only one that Wishes they would add some more GT Cars? Considering the Bases for improving your DR/SR and what is Sport Mode is based around GT Cars? I would be happy with any GT Cars! GT1, GT2, GT3 or GT4 there are just wayyy to many GT Spec Cars across all Divisions to not have them in the Game. However, I would settle for Either a Nerfing or Improving Several GT Cars so we can Not just have the same Handful used on Every Single Event. The Monsoon in the Nations Cup @ RBR was Awesome as I was able to take the RCZ and Cruise to an Easy GT2 B-DR Victory.

No mate it's only probably the most requested category of cars in the game.

Absolutely LOVE THIS IDEA. Can we get a Sticky or whatever for this Person. I mean Come On Now. I even have the PSVR2 and still would love a FOV Slider or at Bare Minimum other Camera Angles'? Also a FFB Profile for the New Thrustmaster T598 since I have that Wheel....🤦♂️🤷♂️😂
I mean Gran Turismo absolutely CRUSHES Forza Motorsport in every Single Aspect except Vehicle Selection Specifically Motorsport (i.e. GT Cars, LMP Cars, Touring Cars Etc.) & Variety of Online Multiplayer Events. Coming from the Xbox I have said to Everyone the Turn 10 & Forza have A LOT OF LEARNING TO DO & could learn A lot from Polyphony and Gran Turismo!

At this point I'm convinced that Kaz is just trolling the GT7 nation.

It's probably worth noting that the back half of the GR Yaris is the C-HR (and Prius, and Corolla) while the front half is the Yaris (and Aqua, and Lexus LBX). I can well imagine that there'll be a GR Yaris or GR Corolla swap, or the 2JZ which goes into the GR Yaris and GR Corolla.
Or both.

It's not the styling (which is entirely unrelated), it's the platform - GA-B front, GA-C rear.
Cars that share platforms usually share hardpoints for mounting mechanical components, like suspension, gearbox, and... engines. Thus what works in the GR Corolla (and at a push the GR Yaris, as they share the 2JZ in-game) should work for the C-HR.
Fitting is often a matter of time, money, engineering skill, and MacGyver. But most swaps in GT7 (not all, as far as I'm aware) represent real builds. Not always in a real fashion - the Beetle needs its back seats out for an H6 - but in spirit.

I mean, I was able to drive a lot of cars in GT 1, GT 2, GT 3 and maybe GT 4 that were current at the time. In GT 7 there are just 20 normal cars from the last 5 years. All the others are older. Station wagons are completely missing, as are concept cars. Why is there no Nike One 2022, Renault Espace Formula 1, Audi RS6, Volvo V90, Ford Mondeo, Cupra cars, BMW 850i or the dragsters from the first and second GT?
There is so much that is still missing but the main thing is a few old cars.
What is the point of dwelling on the past?
Most of the cars are already vintage today.

The max rear aero for me caused tendencies to spin in high speed corners and the understeer caused me to lose time in low speed corners. When I got used to the way the cars handled after this point, I would see my low aero ghost car pull away from me in straightaways.
For the ballast situation, the way I have my cars’ suspensions tuned, I don’t have nearly as much wheel spin as opposed to the default settings, especially when coming out of corners. Because of this, I actually reach higher speeds on straightaways and have significantly faster lap times without ballast even though the game is telling me using ballast is faster.
I think the more I use those settings I would get much faster, but with my usual settings, I have them so optimized for the way I drive I get faster lap times than I do with more track friendly settings. I don’t really have a better explanation. I just do better with what I’m used to.

You would be correct.
Probably Thursday. The server notice usually goes out on Tuesday, and the hype goes up on Wednesday. Since it's only Monday, we're not at that point yet.

I seemed to have mixed up my humors (Which I assume is NOT how you get a Medical degree)If that's all it took to humor you, then I pity you.
Correction then: Your response amuses me.

Did a quick YouTubing for C-HR swaps. The only one:
2.4L 2AZ-FE from the Scion TC w/turbo:
Wouldn’t surprise me to see the K24A in the C-HR. It’s available for the GT86 ‘15. Plus, it seems like it’s becoming a popular swap after the last update. I guess if PD want to make it available for players to replicate the above build that’d be the closest engine. However, I understand if they want to keep it a Toyota related engine swap.
