Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[TheScythed]

Unless I'm mistaken, up to 80 cars have been datamined that are not purchasable in any way within the game. There's content there.

There are strings of text that mention cars, yes. But they would only count if there were also assets for them, besides just strings of text.

 

[KAlex122]

Could you tell me which of the Championships contain races with possible rain? I dont want to enter some if them without the right equipment as i want to try a bunch of different cars.

 

[DefNotJake]

Anyone else go to Watkins Glen last weekend? Can't believe how many details the game got correct. Insane. (These were extremely hard photos to take with my phone in such a fast corner btw)

 

[Veinz]

Finally hit the gold time for the time trial. The Escudo is not easy, that low speed left/right sequence of corners near the end of the lap was really tough to get right.

 

[Artremis]

It's looking more possible everyday that they're purposely holding back content. I used to not think this way, but I can't see any other reason that they can be so lacking despite their output on GT Sport.

They most definitely are holding back content, if anything because rarely do service games add stuff as soon as it's done. We've even seen stuff like the Tesla that's not yet in the game or some events in the Jimmy Fallon video which aren't in the game either.

I think the bigger issue is that since PD never communicates anything, we're just left guessing as to when things will come. If they showed up and said something like "every year we'll have two big updates with a lot of cars and events, and smaller content updates every month with a few cars and sometimes tracks", then we wouldn't have to try and guess why they're seemingly so slow adding cars now and just waiting would be fine.

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

It's not often do I try anything other than the 155 DTM for GR.4 racing.

But I'm definitely feeling the S14 TC growing on me, despite it being a terrible car for gr.4 lol.

I though this part was only avaiable for the GT-R Nismo 🤔🤔

I’ve somehow gotten 2 stage 4 turbos for the BRZ drift car, and luckily enough they work with the engine swap s13. Just a casual 1200hp going to a otherwise stock car.

 

[Draggon]

I've got that turbo for the Amemiya too!

 

[HarVee]

I have 3 Amemiyas, and 7 turbos for it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

The most fun you can have in GT7 is......


In a 127hp Miata on CS tires with Sport exhaust.

 

[Roggers]

Does anyone have that leaked list of future cars? They was about 80 cars on a list that apparently will be added over the next x amount of months.

Also any news on other tracks been added?
I’m hoping Bahrain will be added as the Toyota GR010 had a track map of Bahrain in the cockpit. I think it has now been removed now, but as I don’t own the car I can’t check, but it was there during the Le Mans Nation cup race when I rented the car.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Wow. My first ever fully dry Le Mans 30 minutes!

There was rain on the radar but it passed by south of the track so it only became overcast.

I've done this race almost every day since the event was added.

I think since one of the patches they made it almost guaranteed to rain. I used to have multiple stretches where it didn’t rain for 4-5 races in a row.

I have done this event around ten times in total, and have already had one fully dry race. 🤔

Maybe is nextgen GT8 closer than we think.

 

[HarVee]

Anyone noticed the '94 Celica is tuned into 85.2 FM? Makes me wonder what PD were listening to when they were scanning the car.

Someone needs to figure out where that chassis was scanned.

 

[WanganDream]

Someone needs to figure out where that chassis was scanned.

Since this Celica is JDM spec, there is no doubt that 85.2 MHz is the frequency for Japanese radio.
And all Japanese radio stations that use 85.2 MHz are NHK, and the area is limited to Hokkaido, Miyagi, Akita, Niigata, Wakayama, Kouchi, Miyazaki, or Okinawa.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Once again, I REALLY wish someone would interview Kaz and put these hard questions to him.

Why is the career shorter than GTS?
Why do you only add three more races each month?
Why are there only 4 events which pay a high amount of credits, forcing players to re-play them over and over if they want to earn credits at a quick pace?
Why are almost all the races catch the rabbit format, with the player in last place?
Why isn't 24hr time and weather on all layouts?
Why have you held the exclusive Pikes Peak license for over 5 years and not put it into the games?
Why did you include the roulette system which is purposely designed to give you the poorest reward?
Why did you lock engine swaps and certain tuning parts behind the luck based roulette system?
Why did you include microtransactions in the game, and funnel people towards them with the poor economy?
Why are you increasing the prices of in-game cars in-line with real world inflation?


..and so many more questions that never get asked.

Finally get some kind of answers, even if it is peppered with typical vagueness.

Nothing has been said because he knows that the answers will upset people.

Datamined car list

Really excited to see this. We have old classics returning such as Skyline Silhouette and Escudo Pikes Peak*. But mostly I'm grateful for a bunch of Lotus cars coming up, considering the British sportscar maker was missing altogether. * Both in the game as of 22/7/22

Anyone have a link for the 2022 Michelin GT7 Tournament?

Edit: https://gperacing.com/michelin/

It's reading as GT Sport on the photo, but it's a GT7 Tournament.

And... is there an update coming next week? My notifications are bugging out.

Tried to send Famine a message and the FB link didn't work. Read that the post was taken away or privacy settings changed.
Anyway, Registration ends this Friday 8/7/22.

So weird. I got a notification, 30 min ago, about an update post from KAZ. It's last month's update post. Oh well.

 

[KAlex122]

Can i use the escudo pikes peak for the acceleration challenges of the later Missions? Or is only a Tomahawk fast enough? Than i would buy the escudo on my new playthrough with all the money i got.

 

[Vitesh Patel]

Do you mean the drag races? The Tomahawk is more than fast enough. Start in 5th gear to limit the wheel spin and then shift down to 4th about a second after the start when you have the grip and then blast down the rest of the course upshifting like you normally would. The latter drag races you can lower all the flaps and really get some speed up, but it does become really unstable if your still have too much wheel spin even in the higher gears.

 

[KAlex122]

Yeah, the drag races. And i am asking because i dont have a tomahawk and if i could use the escudo for every drag race, i will buy it instead. Had the Tomahawk on my old account but it got boring after 5000km at tokio... its a sensible decission because after 32 cafe books i have just 2 mil. credits.

 

[happycorey]

It's do-able with the Escudo, just need to buy a transmission to adjust the gearing.

 

[HarVee]

I have a nickname for the all ticket roulette wheels.

The Dealership (wheel with nothing but cars)
The Junkyard (parts only)
The Thomas (engines only)
The Money Maker (the one you can win 500k or if lucky 1 mil)
The Time Waster (the one that always gives you an invite)
The Casino (wheel with an assortment of things)
The **** you (the one which shows you nothing but gold bars but always gives you the lowest prize.)
