Since they said over 100 race events, seems like it's about as long as GT6 was which was also over a hundred races.

But they could also extend it with updates.
How many race events had GT4? With updates it can get bigger than GT4 IMHO


But wait, GT4 had also more than 100 events so it seem already close to GT4, I don't think it has only 100 single races they probably mean the events, every event has at least 2-3 races (especially championships)

It can be that 100+ race events means that the events are something like Sunday Cup, La Festa Italiano, FF Challenge, etc., not 100 single races BUT those will contain multiple races on several tracks like usual.

By that, in GT5-GT6 there's around 50-60 events, in GT3 there's 85 events, in GT4 there's iirc 129 events. If what they refer to events is like that then at least GT7 can have more than GT3.

But the Sunday Cup et al. are essentially dead, they're just names for races that you can only access by going to individual tracks. You can't "enter" the Sunday Cup anymore, you have to unlock tracks where you can do races with Sunday Cup regulations.

I thought before the GT World was GT7's GT4 Course Select in GT Mode (I mean in older GT7 menu there's "Championships" and "Special Events" or such so there), but it's actually the event selection.

Now the event selection is the opposite of the previous GTs. In previous GT you select the event title card, then choose the track the events provided to race on. Now you select the track first, then choose the events the track provided to race on.

Sunday Cup was always meant to be a single race event, it just so happened that with the way the old GT games had it set up, you would most likely complete all the races at once. You still enter the Sunday Cup... at a certain track, that is. In fact GT2 had a similar setup for single race events such as the FF Challenge or the FR Challenge where different races at different tracks had different power limits and license requirements. And most likely, you would do one of the races and then come back to do another race when you had more licenses and a faster car. I think this will be pretty similar to that.

I also don't get why some people are worried that the game's longevity will somehow be compromised by this system. It basically allows them to infinitely add new tracks and races without suddenly 'uncompleting' any of your previously completed events.

Well, it seems they'll give the illusion of choice but yes, really you're picking between those three. The screenshots are all mixed up in terms of progression but I saw a few early ones where the starting credits seem to be 20,000. Now look how many cars are under 20,000....

I dont get. I mising something? 🤔🤔🤔

Unfortunately you're forced to pick those three. I want a Miata, seen in other screens and totally attainable, but seeing as how the GT Cafe is the only option, they want you to have the illusion of choice. Instead of buying something else or upgrading the car you own, you must buy the remaining two ****boxes to progress.
That’s what I was thinking, and to be honest, I really don’t mind. I’m sure they’ll all be fun to modify.

I really can't see them meaning 100 single races by that - at least I hope not. If they're wanting this to be such a callback to the old games it seems bizarre they'd accompany that alongside such a (relatively) short single player experience, because that doesn't fit their apparent M.O at all.

In fact it's 100 race events, which means 100 events with 2,3,4 or even more races for each. Altough there would be some single races too especially the manufacturer events like in GT2 for example. But it depends rather how it will be implemented. Of course, there are also endurance races and special events too (not to forget missions, NASCAR and other stuff coming with updates).
 
447, give or take. I counted last night.

But yeah, they're kinda being vague on what "race events" actually mean. Is it races, or a series of races?
100 would be really tiny if it's about single races (like how many championships with 5 to 10 races in GT games other than GT1....?), and from what I count before, numbers that are closer to 100 are series of races like GT5-GT6 with 50-60, GT3 with 85, GT4 with iirc 129. So guessing the latter because the former is just illogically tiny.

And the term for FF Challenge or such is "series of races" then, thanks.

They also have been constantly informing numbers (except for cars/tracks) that are bigger than previous GTs, like 60+ tuning parts (to GT3's 44 and GT4's 56), 650+ aero parts, 2500+ Scapes (doubled GTS' number), etc. For License too, they're not giving it only 5 tests like GT6, so it's an indicator that they'd not mnimize GT7 like GT6, other than lack of info at the SoP regarding career.
 
So you have to start off by buying a cheap car with limited credits and then and work your way up to bigger and better things? How unheard of for the series.
I think people are worrying about being limited to buying cars that are within the Japanese Compact Car (or whatever it was) Café category - instead of having free reign to buy whatever they can under the limit.

It's a valid worry considering we don't specifically know the way the singleplayer is going to work, but hey, we'll find out soon enough!

Honestly what I want is if they want to add more entry-level cars, they'd create events that cater for every cars. There's higher level entry level car events like higher level fast car events.
 
Yeah that'd be really cool. I do also hope that the 20k credit thing is truly for all starting cars because I've already decided that my meta game is to try and avoid driving anything from this millenium.
 
I wonder if the used car dealership will be on the same rotation for everyone, or if ut has some randomness to it. Most likely with the online nature of everything, it will be a global update with the same selection for all players at any given time.

The used car list supposedly rotates daily, so day 1 players will end up with the same choice, day 2 different, etc etc?

I do hope its more random than that though, it will be a bit dull if everyone always gets the same used car list.

I'm hoping it is the same for everyone. That way we can all plan out the rotation of the used car market.
 
If the Fittipaldi EF7 really is removed from GT7, I hope Pininfarina has another VGT to potentially add, like some other brands have done. This time, it could actually be listed as a Pinifarina model; perhaps it could be a racing mock-up of the Battista.

The lack of racing numbers just makes events look like track days and even less like proper races which they theoretically are. PD should've given us the ability to change the number board positions rather than lean into removing them from offline grids entirely.

My hope is that if the campaign is as we think, and we are always expected to buy one of the compact cars, is that the option is still there to buy one of the others under 20k and the café man just goes "the Miata Roadster '89 is part of the xxx collection, which we can also start you out on" instead - and then it just goes from there as normal.

If you're allowed to buy either of them.
We should be allowed to buy any cars up to 1,520,000 Cr. in the UCD. Those of us that pre-ordered, will have access up to 1.5mil Cr. The situation is, we may not be able to use those cars, until we unlock more events and free play.

Its looks like that. Actually, they put an option who said "how to acquiere".

I think its more like guide, but definitly is parte of the core of GT7 but not necesary in a linear way, more for newcomers.

You could have 20 million credits and it still won't allow you to buy a Miata if it's not actually there in the UCD. That's how the UCD works.

But to me personally it seems like we'll be forced to start out with the Japanese Compact Car menu book anyway. Don't forget that these menu books are (somehow) tied to events: buying an expensive car that is tied to a menu book with events that aren't unlocked yet might not be possible because it would soft lock the game. I guess it remains to be seen whether the menu book thing is completely optional and ignorable, or a linear event structure at the very core of the game. They've been really vague about that.
