My 20+ years of playing Gran Turismo.

From getting beat by a Renault 5 in a Nike 2022 to ariel overtakes at Matterhorn and everything in between.
 
Can't to drive the brz, the first gt300 since gt6, something that i also love is that it might have the 2022 livery because it doesn't have any sponsors on the left of the Mag Tools logo.

Im disappointed, i was expecting some modern road cars from brands like Audi, BMW, Mercedes, .... GT7 car list is really old with some modern cars here and there. Some brands have literally the super old base models of important road cars like the Audi R8, which has couple of newer models by now.

Some people here are saying they're disappointed that only three cars are coming, but honestly, this is not GT Sport. GT7 doesn't need content that desperately like GTS did back on its early life. I'll be more than happy if they keep a 3-5 car rate per month.
GT7 is actually the one that needs it the most, the car list lacks behind soo hard in terms of modern road cars that it feels like a 2016 game. There are too many important road cars missing even from the brands they already have in the game. They use mostly old models from the older games and patch them up, but those models where from 2009/2012 games. Outside the 2 Mercedeses, 2 Ferraris and 1 porsche, which modern car did they add in GT7 that is post 2017? Don't forget that they have worked 5 years on this game and the car list and track list is 90+% from GTS.

That's honestly to be somewhat expected. I mean, they spent a lot of time during that period modeling and licensing cars for GT Sport post launch. Most of GT Sport's car list were DLC cars. Not trying to say it excuses them, but just want to make sure you have the perspective on why that it's the case.

This is somewhat true, except there is no reason for PD to slow down just because GT7 launched with more cars. Gran Turismo used to set itself apart by the car count. It was arguably easier for them in the “standard car” era, but even with the high quality models we have nowadays they should still pursue as many cars as possible.
 
I somehow did it, I bought 3 of the darned things.

I did it so I can have a Calsonic and Loctite Zexel GT-R.

Outside of the dlc cars, I'm a bit interested in the track that will be added. Assuming PD adds a track in the update, pleeeasssee be Apricot Hill!
Did you make the liveries or did you download them? Cause you could (if you have the credits) to make the Pennzoil ZEXEL or perhaps the XANAVI Hiroto from Gran Turismo 4. Even those liveries from GT2 would be fun for races.

I downloaded them, I originally thought of making my own, but there were a few decent quality liveries made already that I didn't feel a need.

Although, part of me wants to do it, so I can also make fictional, alternate color versions of those liveries like a green Calsonic or an inverted Pennzoil Nismo GT-R. I also downloaded a unisia jecs and castrol livery.

Noone has made those yet?

I absolutely love the Ford GT Race car 2018

Who else?
ME!

Those are already made, a couple of users I follow had done so already when I looked at showcase and there's more if you search.
 
I looked yesterday and there were only 2 Xanavi Hiroto liveries, both of which were pretty poor.
I'll get to it some point... Just did the Calsonic like everyone and their mom, hopefully will find time to do the Xanavi this week in-between work and swapping out the fuel pump on my real car.


The last really detailed livery I did was the 2008 Raybrig. Turned out well, but took me about a week to finish, willing to bet the Xanavi would be similar. I don't like to rush if it means having an inaccurate livery.

Okay then. Not sure if I could do any better tbh, most of the liveries I have made so car have been simple ones with decals I uploaded myself or took from someone else. If they had a design, it usually was just stripes or something else that's simple to do.
 
If tomorrow's update fixes a lot of the bugs and tweaks the physics some more, as well as actually making the drift steering kit work, I am buying the game for my PS4, and I guess I'll pay the $10 upgrade fee whenever I get a PS5.

Fingers crossed.

👍 I just bought one but i can still have them in the same shot 😀 Pennzoil is missing though..
 
It's pretty disappointing really. Lacklustre car selection aside, a 'new' layout being the same layout but with a different pit lane is pretty poor considering everything they could have added.

Here's hoping for some new events, otherwise this is a write off for me.
