Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[kjb]

I know at LeMans the track dries at different rates. At least that's how it seems to me. I can't speak on the other tracks because that's where I race a lot.

 

[05XR8]

Red Bull Ring will have rain clouds at one part and dry on the other. Nurburgring does the same.

 

[Youza]

I mentioned, a while ago, PD may find it easier for players to create replicas, than for PD to gather licences. There are community liveries for the 2019 season Audi DTM. Liveries for the Gr.3 Supra to mimic Super GT300 Supras.
For sure, it’s annoying. I understand about offering skins for each model. I’d love that. PD created alt liveries for many of the Gr.3 and Gr.4 cars. Also, Racing liveries for AI cars in GT Sport.
Maybe the problem was the community made them too well. Even Kaz said he was blown away by what the GT community were creating(I think that was said during the Mazda 100th Anniversary update). That may have given them an out to lighten the load on building cars. I really don’t know.

We know PD do things in halves. Why only one alt livery for the Gr.3 Supra, STI, Viper, Huracan, etc.? Why not change the colors to have 20 choices each? I can’t call it. Those days of multiple liveries were last seen in GT Sport. I doubt we’ll see alt liveries/models like we saw in GT5 & GT6.

All we have is Supra GT3/GTE Concept to be fair, real thing looks like this

Oh alright, must be me getting unlucky then. My rain clouds are usually huge and sweeping across the whole radar.

 

[VR-SORN]

usually huge and sweeping across the whole radar.

No complaints from the other half.

It would make sense for promoting both the movie and the game.
Its not uncommun in the gaming industry.
Ex: forza motorsport 7 with fate of the furious car pack when that movie released.
Avengers game getting skins from the movies.
Call of duty with neymar, messi and pogba operators during world cup.
Tekken and mortal kombat with guest characters for recent at the time, games, movies or tv shows.

I get what you’re saying, but PD lives inside a shell where they are just doing their own thing. They are nothing like Turn 10 etc.

Has anyone actually tested the claim that it can rain on one part of a track while staying dry on another? The weather radar seems to have everything in chunks way too big for that, but maybe that isn’t an accurate representation? Personally I’ve only ever seen the whole track getting wet and drying at the same time.

Scattered rainfall is very common in some events. Clubman Cup 550 at Fuji, for example.

Yea the weather can be all over the place… same for the track conditions… I went from 8th to 4th in a league race because the weather threw a wrench in the machine lol.. it was an hour race at Tsukuba First 30 min was beautiful weather… Then for 15 min it was rain on and off.. it only got the track really wet in certain spots.. many people went full wets I went with intermediates the last 15 min of the race the track was drying up but still had some wet spots.. Some people stayed wets.. I stayed with my intermediate.. and some even went with slicks.. The people who stayed with wets cooked their tires.. some who went with slicks actually took a nice gamble for there was a dry line but I remember one driver went of the dry line and went to the shadow realm lol. I jumped up 4 spots because the intermediates was just perfect for the wet and dry conditions on the track! Same with Spa it can be raining on one part of the track and be dry on the other it’s an awesome experience!

That is true unfortunately

That's happens most of the time at LeMans is the a giant glob of rain will hit the whole track but I have gotten some unusual weather from time to time like Sunshine rain. Mind you I mostly race LeMans and Sardegna. I was doing Fuji last night and it started raining so I panicked and switched to beets because I am on LeMans so much and I didn't even need to pit

Not really. The GR Supra Racing Concept is an Actual physical car (Albeit a static roller like several VGTs, but it exists). What you posted here is not a GTE or GT3 car but a GT300 car (In particular, one of several Mother chassis in the field that uses the same 2UR-GSE V8 found in the Lexus RC F GT3).

Personally, I'm more a fan of LM Corsa's version:

On Nurburgring and LeMans yes. I had it a lot of times.
The "green" color which means light rain sometimes it doesn't rain when it is on track.

 

[Racing_Chef]

(In particular, one of several Mother chassis in the field that uses the same 2UR-GSE V8 found in the Lexus RC F GT3)

Mother Chassis cars strictly use GTA-branded Nissan VK45DE V8s. So the Supra is purely JAF-GT300-spec.

 

[RobertHammer]

Now the FT-1 Gr.3 concept looks more like the current Supra GT300 , which is interesting

Toyota FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo Gr.3

The Toyota FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo Gr.3 is a race car produced by Toyota. It appears in Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7. This car is an alternate version of the Toyota FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo, which was adapted to fit in the Gr.3 class, where cars based on FIA GT3 regulations are...

What’s the holdup between PD and 1980s JDM sports cars? GT7 has a striking shortage of these compared to 1990s cars. These are missing and most were standard cars in GT6:

Mazda RX-7 (FB)
Mitsubishi Starion
Nissan 240RS
Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX (Z31)
Nissan Skyline 2000 Turbo GT-E S (C211)
Nissan Skyline HT 2000 Turbo RS (DR30)
Nissan Skyline HT 2000 RS-X Turbo C (DR30)
Nissan Skyline GTS-R (HR31)
Toyota Celica XX
Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST165)
Toyota MR2 SC (AW11)

My mistake, Forgot that APR built those Supras so that is correct. Hell I think they basically built ALL the Toyota bodied cars in the field between the Corollas that used to run, the GR86, the Hybrid Lexus LC F and now the Supras (Even LM Corsa's Supra, which is only different with the front fascia). Apart from the Lotus, I haven't seen a Nissan powered Mother Chassis car in the field.

 

[Chris30]

I knew the Supra line of cars had some spice/kick to it. So what is PD going to do next, give us more cars? I'm thinking so.

Pulsar EXAs / NXs (N12 and N13)
Bluebird SSSs / Maximas (910 and U11)
Mitsubishi Cordia

Subaru RX Coupe

Plenty of 80s Japanese sports cars are missing.

If they are going to add in a First gen Rx7 it better be the 78-80 SA22C and not the FB . The FB is inferior to the SA unless it is in it's GSL-SE Trim but by then it's just an Inferior base FC. Mazda Downgraded the 81 base model and created the GSL trim to equal the first 3 years bade model. The only real upgrade was the LSD . They did add rear disks but by all testing standards the drums had better stopping power and fade resistance with the exception of the GSLSE which had drilled and slotted disks stock which marginally out performed the stock drums . In the real world disks were better because they didn't require the tedious adjustments but you dong have to worry about that in any videogame either. The SA is also the car that won IMSA championships , the FB did win races but all the iconic cars with their wide bodys are SA's . Plus they just look cooler than the FB , I would know because the SA's at the rotary meets draw allot more attention over the FB's .
A limited edition leather package or the JDM spec turbo model would be ace.

Not surprised we did not get a July update, even PD deserves a vacation 😎. I guess next update has 5 new cars and possibly a new track. Source: my gut feeling 😄

They have given us 5 cars I think once before. Plus we saw with Watkins Glen last year that they used a live event to promo the track. So it is possible we get the new track on the same week as the Amsterdam live event, or the week after 🤔 I hope we get: Motegi or Sugo. Japan deserves a new track added to the game imo.

[rmac923]

Am I looking at another van/people carrier on top?

 

[Rossell2]

Looks like a VW Transporter on top.

Edit: Either an MC20 or SF90 bottom right I wouldn't be mad with either.

It's probably not Barbie's Corvette, it's probably a regular C1.

Maybe the Audi R8 Spyder...

It's probably not Barbie's Corvette, it's probably a regular C1.

Oh but the liveries will be immense.

I'm curious what's that classic roadster on the right?
