Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Magog]

We already know Road Atlanta has been worked on thanks to GT Sport's database. At this point it's more a question of when, not if.

That would be a nice addition.

 

[tankuroded]

Was thinking the same. PD love cars with significance and the ‘18 TS050 is the first car to win Le Mans outright twice in a single season (WEC Super Season)

Was more because of Toyota's first Le Mans win after years of trying and frustration (geddit?) but that's covered there I guess.

How classic Gran Turismo spoiled me compared to GT7.

Man I am absolutely crushed by the Lambo VGT, its such a damn cool looking car being held back by not having a Gr1 variant, since the VGT has Gr1 beating levels of power and acceleration as stock (which will obviously need to be tuned down), but its forced to suffer with Gr3 levels of Downforce (which is why I desperately feel this car deserves the Gr1 treatment to get the better grip/downforce) and while testing at Trial Mountain as I always do with race cars, the front end of the Lambo VGT gets very light on acceleration, but its acceleration is absolutely rapid , and its grip isnt always the best but it can turn in quite well when coasting through corners. Car is fun overall though!

has anyone noticed the le mans pit area before the 700pp race changing every day? i do this race a lot...

a few days ago, i noticed a car draped in a red cloth in the pit area. i sort of figured it had been there before, and i just hadnt paid attention to the camera cut.

yesterday or the day before, i noticed there were now two cars covered in red cloth. i am pretty confident that something had changed... and then today. i saw that there is a car being constructed, near the two hidden cars.

its probably just random, the pit lane, on these races.... but given the announcement about the new toyota, i wonder if this is a quiet way of teasing more cars? it seems to be progressive, now that i've paid attention to it. and clearly they are doing something over there, as they are uploading sport decals.

Anyone drive the 330 P4 yet?

it’s the one of the best and most enjoyable I’ve driven for the 700pp Le Mans, and I have driven a lot of cars in that race.

It can be a little bumpy at first but I was able to sort out the height and downforce pretty easily. I’ve got very little idea what I’m doing when it comes to tuning but I’ve got it pretty smooth on TCS1 for now. Someone who understands dampening settings could easily make this car perfect to drive.

Trying to tame the R8 LMS has once again convinced me that it’s one of the worst handling cars in GT history. It’s such a bizarre car to drive as it doesn’t seem to have any grip in any kind of situation. It’s the only GT3 car that can just start to slide while going through a fairly easy high speed corner. It’s like the back tires are made of ice blocks and the front is the only thing dragging it forward.

If anyone can link to a good tune I’d be much thankful.

Add as much ballast as you need all the way to the front to make it 50:50.

Then turn up the rear diff initial torque to 25 or so and the accel to 45.

Try that to start

Thanks! Will try it the next time I boot up the game.

Oh ffs! I just accidentally quit the race on my final lap to winning La Sarthe WTC700, that's 25 minutes of racing wasted, and no 825k prize for me. The "EXIT" button should really follow with "ARE YOU SURE?". It's not the first time this happens to me, but this is the most frustrating.

Yeah I remember in GT4 you would click Exit and it would give you two options - Continue or Exit. I still don't know which is which. Does Exit exit the race or the menu? Likewise, does Continue mean continue the race or continue quitting? Honestly I don't think they've ever got this to work well lol.

Haha, I can't say I remember GT4's race pause menu, but I suppose Continue meant continue the race, and Exit meant leave the race. Still, at least GT4 actually asked you (sort of) if you really want to quit before quitting, I can't believe it's not a thing in GT7.

GT7 should definitely have it! I can just imagine someone getting to the end of a 24 hour endurance in GT4 and selecting the wrong option
This reminds me, they're adding 24 hour races to GT7 so I really hope they add an exit confirmation by then.

 

[SlowGrayAudi]

Thanks! Will try it the next time I boot up the game.

Lowering the rear ride height should help as well. A few clicks.

Adding downforce is the obvious thing to do but you cant always run around with max df.

please post screenshots, on ps4 the draped cars are absent.

Just checked some videos online, the update came out on the 7th, and these two from the 9th and 12th show both cars:

 

[FerrariF40]

What do you guess when we will see the next update?

 

[Johnnn]

Why I hear only few tracks? GTs had always many tracks.

 

[StealthVel]

What do you guess when we will see the next update?

"Any day now"

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

"Any day now"

"Annnnnnnnnnnnny second now."

 

[RedRockValley]

"Annnnnnnnnnnnny second now."

"See? Update! Oh wait, that's bug fixes..."

 

[Arkseven]

On the Tokyo grind thread many people are saying that when they hit exactly 5000km, the Tomahawk gets it's engine and chassi to "normal" conditions.

Now, I can say that with the Corvette Gr.3 it's not exactly 5000km, but it's somewhere close. This was just before the 12 lap race at Alsace:

And this was just after the race:

The good things about GT7.

 

[MroczMR]

So are we expecting update this week? I wonder if we will get new cars/track or events. It starts to get boring mashin Sardenga over and over again xD

 

[GrmlMaster]

Sector 2 is really, really hard!

My blood pressure must have went up yesterday after I failed multiple times.

My revelation was seeing the Demo-Driver keeping slight throttle active when rolling through the longer corners (first right and the following left for example).

In this sector I was applying at least light throttle whenever I was not braking to stabilize the car.

It could be worse! I didn't do any new races or missions. Old champs must do everything. They need to add content ASAP... and unblock classic cars.

CELICAAAAAAAA

Immediately bought ten.

IRL Replica and scapes incoming.

Depends on the light source in this scape but....why do I feel some details look more realistic without ray tracing?

Headlights
Tail lights
Rims
Brake discs
Exhaust

Out of curiosity, are we looking at the very same paintjob for the body and rims?

I feel like the body color on RT On looks too chromey?
