Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[GT PRO-AM]

I'd rather have more non-WTC events.

You know, like in GT4/5/6/Sport?

Those too, of course... I listed WTC events first, but I didn't mean to say that only these should be added.

 

[tankuroded]

Figured it's an appropriate time to post this stat:

Notes:

• Feb '19 should be Mar '19 for both instances.
• There's some sort of pattern when it comes to adding new races - new series contains three races (down to 2019), while races to existing series tend to add two races to it. Endurance series additions are always one race per update.

 

[JTB10000]

Among the races I'd like to see (and that they could/should add) are:

• Le Mans Gr. 1 (maybe with LMPs on the layout with chicanes, and a race with just the old Group C cars on the layout without... anyway, right now, it's a shame not to have a Gr. 1 race there) ;
• Blue Moon Bay Infield A Gr. 4/WTC 700 (and maybe also Gr. 3/WTC 800, but it's a bit too short a route, more suitable for Gr. 4);
• Brands Hatch GP Size 3/WTC 800;
• Circuit de Sainte-Croix B Gr. 3/WTC 800;
• Deep Forest Gr. 3/WTC 800 (already in the championship);
• Dragon Trail Gardens Gr. 3/WTC 800 (but we already have a Gr. 4 race there and a Gr. 3 race in Seaside, I know);
• Kyoto Driving Park Yamagiwa Gr. 3/WTC 800 (maybe also Gr. 4/WTC 700);
• Road Atlanta Gr. 3/WTC 800 (as above, maybe also Gr. 4/WTC 700);
• Mount Panorama Gr. 3/WTC 800 (possibly endurance);
• Trial Mountain Gr. 3/WTC 800 and Gr. 4/WTC700 (already in both respective championships);
• Nurburgring GP Size 3/WTC 800 and Size 4/WTC 700;
• Red Bull Ring Size 3/WTC 800;
• Laguna Seca Gr. 3/WTC 800...

I just want some more chili pepper races of any variety man

Even they haven't done any new GT Cup Gr.3 or Gr.4 races since launch (though to be fair if they attempt to do that again it would be booed again because not a "money" race).

What's stopping them from making more chilli pepper races that also have high payouts?

Chili pepper shortages:

Sriracha sauce is on sale for up to $150 a bottle

While climate change impacts agriculture as a whole, it's not the whole story for the current Huy Fong Sriracha shortage.

But they can easily change to wasabi and increase payouts

If we're using Peppers as a measurement of difficulty, would that make GT Sophy a Ghost Pepper?

Sophy is the Carolina Reaper. She takes souls from anyone who dare challenge her in equal machinery.

 

[05XR8]

Add some of those peppers to the Kei car races. Would be the best, ever!

 

[SnakeOfBacon]

Sophy is the Carolina Reaper. She takes souls from anyone who dare challenge her in equal machinery.

Sophy Violette certainly is, I could handle a whole grid/bowl of Sophy Vert the Jalapeño.
I'm looking forward to the day I can race a full Sophy grid in kei cars around Tokyo Expressway, they don't fear the walls.

I have done Le Mans 700 for quite some time, but I think this is the first time I had a race with rain at the end of lap 1 all the way to the last lap. This was the last lap:

​

Might not be the opinion of most players because this is an excellent race for grinding, but I really like when it's full rain.

The MC20 is way better when tuned to 700pp, but unfortunately fuel economy with this one is awful. Almost 2 laps using FM6 and thats with a bit of short-shifting. At least it's a beautiful car!

I am thinking of bringing my PS5 to my next holiday. No connection there so i would have to use my smarthphones tethering. Any idea how much data GT7 uses in singleplayer-mode per hour? Thanks!

New Ambulance coming to GT7? There is a second ambulance together with the Toyota Himedic
Probably it could be there only for decoration
Found in scapes in the new location

A vehicle being in a scapes location has no connection to it coming ingame. There are tons of vehicles visible in scapes that aren't drivable ingame

 

[SM_Marti]

And this is why I wrote that this was only there for decoration

Or perhaps it's there because, it's a picture taken of a hospital parking garage which do seem to have ambulances parked in them quite a lot.

Beautiful machine. We need a Gr.3 and Gr.4 MC20, just like the Alfa Romeo 4C.

I said that this has been taken by the new scapes added last update (Fire Station).
Maybe in Japan Ambulances can appear in Fire Stations

I can easily make it 3-4 laps with FM6 and short shifting - just don't use turbo and anti lag

I would prefer Granturismo GT4 and MC20 group 3 (or MC12 GT1)

I'd rather have the MC12 GT1, as GT1 needs to be better represented here (and plus GT1 was my favorite racing category growing up).

It's not been archived yet, but this is a link to the smaller Sony Creator Talks.

Currently discussing the movie, then there's a GT7 discussion.

You can also rewind the stream.

I don't know how much data is transfered
What I wanted to say: gt7 (and probably gts) doesn't like ip address changes, especially during a "session" (basically everything after the intro), your progress won't be saved/send to the pd servers.

Not sure how much data GT7 use’s but I have done it .I’m with EE if you text ba to 150 you get a message back giving you info about your data and phone usage ect.
Depending which provider you use you could see if you can do a simple check like that. Then play for 30 mins or an hour and then check again to see how much has been used.

Edit : I had no trouble with saves and or game progress doing it via my phone .

Sony AI confirmed on the panel that it's working with PD to bring Sophy as a permanent part of GT7.

Even worse is that it seems like they completely forgot about Gr.2 despite the class having enough vehicles for a full grid, albeit the performance is pretty skewed towards the GT1 cars without BOP. We even got a new car for the class with the DTM Audi but it seems they are overlooking it for whatever reason.
