Gran Turismo 7’s March Update is Coming Next Week with Three New Cars

[Interstellar9]

...and then the New Track arrived...

Quite interesting that Kaz is there. In 2016 it was also rumoured that Shanghai International Circuit may come to GT Sport. There was a news here at GT Planet.

Hopefully it's finally time! Pretty nice track!

Shanghai International Circuit Coming to GT Sport?

Preparations are being made to bring the home of the Chinese Grand Prix to the Gran Turismo franchise.

No, no, no... YOU want race cars. I'm fine with road cars. They're the bread and butter of the GT experience.

I think it is confirmed that no track is coming this month.

Is it? There's an F1 race there this weekend. It's not uncommon for people to travel to go see an F1 race. Especially when, as the crow flies, Shanghai and Tokyo are only ~1,100 miles apart. I traveled farther than that to see the race in Austin, Texas in 2013.

I'd like to present a totally different perspective to the "meme cars" that I haven't seen on here:

Like many fellow forum members I'm an adult with many real-life responsibilities and little gaming time. My best friends and fellow car guys happen to have even more adult responsibilities, and are very casual players for the most part.

The Unimog update was the first time in two years that all five of us got together for an evening of multiplayer racing - with advance planning to find a date and everything
- and it was absolutely wonderful, especially having a 205 build-off and spec race. No chance that would have happened for an update with the 2025 GT3 roster or whatever.

People need to realise that us dedicated forum members are the 0.1%, and so many more casual players out there in the real world are extremely happy about variety, nostalgic ****boxes, and oddball additions.

What's one more GT3 car to those players when they haven't even driven half of those already in the game?

But the prospect of racing a Unimog around Eiger Nordwand with friends and duking it out in iconic 80s hot hatches is something the game didn't offer before. Same for the Kangoo. It's really that simple.

Honestly, the single thing that's consistent about GT7 updates is that they never, ever seem to have a central theme or tie-in to market around.

So wherever Kaz is at the time of an update is probably the least likely place to show up in that update, if anything.

Man if you dont get outta here with all that logic and rational thinking!

Strange update, practically as always. Looks like the much requested Vantage has arrived. Mazda CX-30 and Renault Kangoo don't do a lot for me. Then again, it's free so can't complain too much.

 

[jrbabbitt]

I'm still surprised when people trot this one out.


Also from barely two pages ago, the Kangoo is massive in Japan. Yamauchi has long-stated that he sees GT as a way to educate people in car culture, and here's a significant part of it that people are just "give me more sporty hatchbacks" (which another user will be along shortly to decry as "mom cars") or "give me more old/new race cars" right through it...

But nothing in the North American market, it's big in South America, but not seen at all in the US...(according to the Wikipedia page)

Nice to see the Aston. Was that in a prior game or have PD made some new content?

 

[PatrolFox]

They should at least the latest GT500 cars which is from a Japanese series that is also apart of the bread and butter of Gran Turismo also

 

[mef]

What's the deal with all the family cars, transporters and vans added to the game lately?

Scraping the barrel and Holding off the good stuff for gt8 is my take

 

[05XR8]

It’s new to the franchise.

Good take, I’d like to add, if they were to add even just one muscle car or can am car, my friends and I would be all over that. A track would be even better. Tracks make the game feel new, Watkins Glen and Road Atlanta were awesome additions. Lake Louise and Eiger… not so much.

These basic trim and/or non sporty cars are a big part of the soul of GT, imo. Not only does it give the game a sort of relatable feel, but I've heard so many stories of folks being excited that their exact car is in the game.

Plus, I just find it cool to have base/low trim or otherwise very ordinary cars.

You don't see it much, and combine it with the original GT games, seeing grids of ordinary cars, there is a level of nostalgia there for me as well.

It's true that they also need a gameplay purpose, which I think there is in GT7 with the FF Challenge etc events, and yes, the GT3 roster needs expanding, but these cars are the essence of GT, imo.

That's right, F1 is this weekend. Still, it could be a sign (hopium intensifies)

Kind of seems like more of a reason to add it, imo.

From ChatGTP question:
When GT7 will add a new track?

ChatGPT said:​

Gran Turismo 7's most recent track addition was the Eiger Norwand circuit, reintroduced in the July 2024 update (version 1.49). This track, set in the Swiss Alps, was first featured in Gran Turismo 6.gran-turismo.com+9CarThrottle+9TwistedVoxel+9
Looking ahead, there have been discussions and speculations about potential new tracks for GT7. For instance, rumors suggest that circuits like Zolder, Sebring, and Sportsland Sugo might be considered for future updates. However, as of now, Polyphony Digital has not officially announced any upcoming track additions.GTPlanetGTPlanet+5TwistedVoxel+5CarThrottle+5
It's also worth noting that while the Lakeshore snow circuit was introduced in the November 2023 "Spec II" update, there haven't been new road circuits added since Grand Valley returned in February 2024. CarThrottle+4racinggames.gg+4gran-turismo.com+4
For the most accurate and up-to-date information on new tracks and other content, it's advisable to monitor official Gran Turismo channels and announcements.gran-turismo.com+5Gameranx+5TwistedVoxel+5

Everybody? Including the people that just picked this up after playing My First Gran Turismo that released 3 months ago?

I doubt people who are new to the game will be using these much either, considering the Cafe menus railroad you into certain choices for the duration of the "career".

I'm subscribing to the theory that these sorts of cars are going to have a presence in the early portions of GT8, and are simply being added into GT7 because they're already finished.

 

[Voodoovaj]

RACE CARS!!! WE WANT RACE CARS!

Here we go again. Define "race car"? Do you mean something to be used in Sport Mode?

I honestly think it's down to when cars are actually finished, they can make, maybe, 6 cars a month. I'd say we get half and the other half go towards GT8.

Sweet some Renault twingo racing around brands Indy? Or Suzuka short?

 

[Freeman_Cruz]

Yamauchi already said that this wasn't the case a couple of years back, but additionally the car content pipeline is running at pretty much a constant rate since the first GT Sport update. Even when cars were no longer being added to Sport, the number of new ones that arrived at GT7's launch was entirely consistent with that rate.

Let's calculate that rate.

Simplifying the math, we can calculate that GT Sport launched in March 2017 with 168 cars and GT7 launched in March 2022 with 420. A difference of 252 (with some minor inconsistencies).

That would give about 50 new car models per year, or 4.2 per month.

Since GT7 launched three years ago, cars have been added as DLC, an average of 2.8 per month.

With this data, it's possible that about 50 cars are being reserved for GT8.
