"- Fixed an issue wherein it would be possible to perform an oil change on a car that didn't require one."
Does this mean that Teslas will be thirsty from now on?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

As was told milion times. First GT Sport update was also "small" just wait for another one. I am pretty sure we will see better updates in may.

And as I said in my last paragraph, that should not be used as an excuse. It's a new game, they should have learned from their content updates on their last game, but they didn't.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Yeah, I'm not gonna defend this. It's pretty underwhelming for an update.

I mean, I like the cars shown, but 3 isn't enough. It should have been 5 at least. For Spa, the 24 hr layout is about the same as what we have now. If it was the 60s or 80s layout, then it would be interesting. But no, it's just a pit lane change with a new starting line location.

While I'm aware that GT Sport's 1st content update started like this, I still don't think that should be used as an excuse.

I would much rather prefer QoL updates than content updates in the early stages, especially for a game as buggy and broken as GT7.

Content will feel a lot better when the game is fixed.


Also I was personally hoping for Autumn Ring (I know the majority of you guys wanted Apricot Hill)

 

[GlamFM]

Something positive - we now have a $1.000.000 race AND it´s at SPA - pretty cool!


Has anybody checked if the clean race bonus is busted again? As in do you get it no matter what?

That would be pretty sweet.

New content must be made. I think this is to early to criticize the quality of updates. If next update will be this small then we should start worrying.

This. Which game did deliver a super huge update one month after being released? And we're still getting free cars though, Polyphony could instead lock them behind a pay-wall with ease. (Well, of course that action would have a lot of negative backlash from us)

 

[05XR8]

Well I'm a bit puzzled because I've seen a screenshot of someone going down to Eau Rouge with 3 seconds of the lap done in a race, but in time trial it's definitely just the regular start line, so it could just been that the races start from the 24h line and time trials start from the F1 line.

Weird.

It’s resolved, but yep, that was me.

Drove that Subaru BRZ GT300 and I'm amused to see how fast it is, even beating out the two GT500's in the Gr. 3 class in terms of speed and track performance.

Spoiler: Comparison

This comparison was made with the cars completely stock, with no tuning whatsoever, and the Racing: Hard tires they came with.

Nurburgring lap times:
Subaru BRZ GT300 '21: 6:31.274
Toyota Supra GT500 '97: 6:33.476
Nissan GT-R GT500 '99: 6:37.809

Top speed:
Subaru BRZ GT300 '21: 292km/h
Nissan GT-R GT500 '99: 289km/h
Toyota Supra GT500 '97: 289km/h

*NOTE: Top speeds were tested at Special Stage Route X, and were determined by their speed towards the wind.

 

[DS13_supergt]

We can put duct tape to close the brake ducts om thr brz, nice

 

[Guffaluff]

Any other tracks then Spa 24H have the new pit sequence where you see the car driving the pitlane? It's so much nicer then what we had in Sport and so far in GT7.

How do you access it?

 

[Nowax]

How do you access it?

On your GT7 page. Go to "My page", and then "Gallery". From there you can download your pics at full res.

 

[MidnightRun85]

Anyone else having issues with the Mypage site? Since maintenance this morning, all I get when viewing from my phone is this:

Regardless of what I try to access through the menus, this is all I get. Tried closing down the page and restarting the phone, no change... Android phone and Google Chrome...

 

[Magog]

On your GT7 page. Go to "My page", and then "Gallery". From there you can download your pics at full res.

Still no way to link to your GT7 profile publicly?

I just did it, had a few bumps (AI loitering on the apexes as usual) and an off-circuit penalty (spoiler: it rains in the night. A Lot.) Still got the 1.5 million so CRB intact.

I think these additional races aren’t ‘broken’, just that if the in-race penalty system is enabled then the CRB seems to be automatically awarded anyway...

A great 1 hr race, by the way. We need more of this. SOON.

Might as well start worrying now, because expecting more than what we have gotten so far feels like asking for disappointment. For now we can just hope.

 

[JC_Dude]

Wasn't expecting a whole lot from this update, but holy moly. This just ain't it, chief.

That’s a good point. Maybe PD think penalties are punishment enough! 😂

 

[JDMKING13]

We have the option for tire wear fuel depletion and grip reduction for time trials. This is a big plus for me at least lol.. had to do a lot of testing online only because the options were only available online. Now I can tune and watch the replays in TT mode!

It has almost quarter of a century on those older GT500 cars, in the real world current GT3 cars are pretty much at the same lap times as the last GT1 cars (MC12, DBR9, etc) were. It's quite impressive how things have moved on.

 

[Artremis]

Seems like GT7 is doing pretty well in the US.

That's excellent news, it's the little changes like these that make GT7 even better.

 

[AutumnalGlow]

So the "layouts" promised was just a lie. The cars are a disappointment. 3 new races when the game needs far more. Custom races still pay pennies.

2 months in.

I might sound optimistic. But month isn't over yet. I guess it is the last update this month, but who knows? Maybe they will surprise us with friday update?

Seems like the Tomahawk is still working for grinding (i took this image from reddit)

I'd be absolutely shocked if they do. There's no reason to do 2 updates in a week when there's plenty of content ready to be dropped for the first update if they felt like it.

Well yeah.

Current day GT300 and GT3 cars are quicker over a lap than those old GT500 cars in real life.

2 months in is still very early to me.
