Gran Turismo 7 "February" 2025 Update Prediction & Discussion Thread

[Mafio]

What's the deal with all those muscle cars for sale? Something 'Murican coming?

A few sophystries (sorry about that...)

Nah, I like this word.

 

[Voodoovaj]

@Famine Wasn't there a data leak or something? I can't find the thread.

Are there any cars or tracks from that thread that are still missing from the game?

It's just for colour collectors. I'd assume other classics with a ton of colour options will soon become special picks in the same way - stuff like the Dino or the 3.0 CSL.

Not gonna lie I forgot the Glickenhaus existed

Exactly, even though I've heard rumors.
Wanwall all returned to the WEC maybe One day???
My Prediction:
1) Ferrari 499P
2) BMW M4 CSI
3) Mazda MX-5 1.8 RS
4) Eagle AAR Indy Car
Extra Cars:
Porsche 963 Team Panskee

Famine Wasn't there a data leak or something? I can't find the thread.

Are there any cars or tracks from that thread that are still missing from the game?

A huge up-top disclaimer: There hasn't been a reliable datamine in years, and nothing in these is guaranteed to not have been leftovers from past games or guaranteed for PD to have kept working on, or if they are working on them there's no guarantee they won't be for future games. I also have zero knowledge of the methods of any of these, I'm just compiling references.

With that said:

Spoiler: This is in a spoiler to be courteous so that people who don't want to know any datamine data don't have to

Cars: See this thread. First post has most of them from a mid-2022 leak, there are a couple more cars not in that list (the Mazda M2 1001 is one I remember) that are later on in the thread.

Datamined car list

Really excited to see this. We have old classics returning such as Skyline Silhouette and Escudo Pikes Peak*. But mostly I'm grateful for a bunch of Lotus cars coming up, considering the British sportscar maker was missing altogether. * Both in the game as of 22/7/22

Tracks: There's two main sources: First of all, there was a leak in late GT Sport's code that had 7 or 8 of the 9 GT7 track additions in it (depending on whether you count test_snow_ishibashi as Lake Louise; Watkins Glen is the one that was missing). While I don't necessarily think all of these are coming, it is pretty accurate in hindsight.

Gran Turismo 7 Car & Track List Prediction

I think that the GT7 car list os going to surprise us for good. I think that 500-600 cars is a possible quantity. PD knows that we want more cars and more brands, so i believe that they have scanned more cars that we think. In addition, there are many cars that PD have scanned and it isn't in GT...

Then there was a purported "leak" in 2023 from the same guy that got Lake Louise correct, and also had Gilles Villeneuve and Zell am See in it. I think it's still fair to be sceptical of this one though.

Datamined car list

I just realized I've made a mistake. We got the '95 400R, not '96... :lol: Fixing this mess tomorrow.

Other small things: Albert Park (Australian GP circuit) and Gilles Villeneuve were found in Scapes data around release day.

Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

The solution is simple then: Gran Turismo 8 will feature special events in which the player has to escape police pursuits, led by Bowser, around the Nordschleife. Princess Peach becomes Princess Apricot and tells the player to not drive dangerously on public roads before the game's intro starts...

www.gtplanet.net

And there's also persistent rumours about Red Rock Valley Speedway that I don't personally know the origin of.

 

[outofspace]

My prediction is that they might somehow make engine swaps available for hybrid cars, maybe transmission swaps or something... There's just no way PD added all that crazy aero for the chr knowing how slow it is! It's even slower than the Prius 🤣

 

[wowbaggerBR]

My only prediction is that they will expand the customization options for the F-3500A with period correct wheels from BBS and OZ and the car will be provided with engine swap options, like a V8 and a V10.

Fine then...

Please use this thread to make your predictions for, and discuss, Gran Turismo 7's next update.

We're calling it the February 2025 update because... why not? While Kazunori Yamauchi has stated that the updates aren't monthly by design we have grown to expect it. February seems likely, ahead of the game's third anniversary, and it'll probably be called 1.56.

As a quick fun note, there have been 99 cars added to the game to date. I wonder what car #100 will be - something special, perhaps?

Notes:

• DON'T POST WISHLISTS
  There are no second chances on this because we've wasted too much time with people who want to divert threads from their purpose and we've gone out of our way to give them enough other places to get it out of their system...
  
  Apropos of that, wishlists go in the Car & Track Wishlist Thread which we made specifically for that purpose:
  
  
  

  The Gran Turismo Car & Track Wishlist Thread...

  It seems that making wishlists is a particularly popular hobby for many of you :D No matter what the thread may be, someone, somehow, seems to shoehorn a list of cars and/or tracks that they'd like in the game into it - and we have more than one thread that's basically a wishlist with extra...

• Predictions are guesses with evidence. Given that the entire past history of free Gran Turismo game updates (with one exception) has given us the expectation of the number of cars (single digits) and tracks (one or zero), if you're posting ridiculously long lists of cars and multiple tracks then that's a wishlist. See the first rule. So are lists of brands (multiple) which have never been in the game series before or which have been cut and are showing no signs of returning (coughs Lotus *coughs).
• bUt We DoN't HaVe AnY eViDeNcE. Sure you do. There's been, like, 27 content updates now. That shows you what volume of content you can expect and what type of content PD is focusing on. Lately it's also been filling in generational gaps of certain model lines and there's quite a few left, but there's been a few surprises in the past, some well-placed cars from our Suggestions forum (hey look, another place to express your car/track wishes!), and some 4K-era upgrades to cars from previous games.

roger that.

..but..but.. they don't have the C6 Z06 😢 Just the absurd ZR-1

the c6 z06 needs to be in gt7.

 

[Voodoovaj]

the c6 z06 needs to be in gt7.

Given the ZR1 is already in, adding the Z06 should be a no brainer. I'd like to see the Evora and 06 VW GTI. And the Tz3 Stradale

Really, I'd like to know how much longer we have to wait until GT8. 4 years between GT Sport and GT7, but there was covid. GT7 will be 3 years old next month.

I think with your timeline, GT Sport to GT7 was more of a closer step than say GT6 to GT7. I’d expect GT8 to be closer to 2030. If it’s announced this year or next it would surely be a GT7.5 (even if they call it GT8)
