[GTFan24]

American Clubman Cup 700 at the freaking Panorama.

Why PD why?? Why american cars only ??

Idk cause uhhhh...
Ford and Chevy are popular in Australia i guess? Idk

 

[Mariangello]

You realize this update is light due to the team's upcoming holiday break right? Its pretty common

It looks more like they have been on vacation since March.

Mine is stuck at 100% downloading.
EDIT: It finally finished and now says "no connection to server" and has significantly longer load times.
I'm waiting for the update file for the PS4 version to download and the sound on my PS5 has gone crazy.

 

[RACECAR]

Imagine declaring that this game is finished despite the monthly updates and it hasn't even been a year since its release. Even the supposedly more negative folks aren't resorting to this much doom and gloom.

 

[RACECAR]

Its gonna be a GR.B car knowing PD. That classification is less about being an actual Group B Rally car and just about being a rally car of some kind.

Called it.

 

[MroczMR]

Called it.

Oh its pretty cheap! Probably i will buy it then.

I imagine if there wasn’t monthly updates, people would complain that no new content was being added so PD are in a bit of a lose-lose with this!

Step 1: Get into Ferrari VGT
Step 2: Aggressively attack corner and either:
A: Understeer
B: Hit sausage kerb and jettison into orbit
Step 3: Name some stars because you're never seeing the track again
Step 4: ???

Joking aside, this thing has a really...weird downforce design. The rear end hikes way up whenever you attack a corner and veer onto the kerb and either causes the rear to unsettle or bounces. And I don't really know what it wants from me because it understeers through corners...and not in the way I'd otherwise gripe about with GT7.

It's weird. I kind of like it.

Can't find this info yet
How much is Bugatti Chiron and new Alfa?
How are payments from new Monza, Nurb and Bathurst events?

The three new events are really low paying, you can get them all done relatively quickly.

Packed away my racing wheel until the end of Jan...

How about more high paying events?

 

[shadow0460]

Prize money from the new events will buy it and the Corvette at least.

I'm quite the opposite. In 1981 when home consoles became popular, what you got with the game was it, and they didn't change the rules monthly.

Sounds like the junk tunes folks were running Tokyo with, including the Cappucino. I like that car, though, so-- oops, I just missed Radillon in my Trans Am. Oh, wow, there's Sirius flying by! And what's this big plastic fish for in the back seat!?

I finished all the events (glad I built up that Trans Am) and bought/won all the cars except the Chiron. I bought the Jag and got that trophy and am working towards the 911 Strassenversion. Next I'll finish cleaning out the Bugatti dealer...the only two I don't have are on the menu. Isn't one of those cars invite only? I do have that one.
I like that little gold trophy I got at Bathurst. It'll make a nice by buckle.

 

[samppa_944]

I don't understand why they make such low paying events 🤔 Like why can't make even more like 0,8-1,2 M/hour events (still less than the high paying 3, but then somewhat okay)? Or even just put the 1hr endurance events as paying you everytime. Would bring so much more variety..

 

[GlamFM]

Disappointingly light update.

Was expecting a few menu books with significantly more races in it.

Endurance races would have been great over the holiday break.

Oh well. It’s GT7 after all…

They could have at least increased all credit rewards on every track by 100% for a few days during Christmas, but no.

 

[tothesz]

I just wonder how many single player events GTS had at this point of time after launch...
All that without launching with an "actual" campaign mode.

 

[Baka_Marimo]

Finally another month where keeping the engine tickets has paid off. Both Ferrari Engines are new additions to me, though unfortunately the car tickets have been a letdown across the board. Credit amounts went from barely anything to practically nothing

Just the other day I got the Gr.3 variant of the Peugeot VGT from a 4-star ticket which was valued at a healthy 220,000Cr.. Unfortunately it seems like a ticket awarding a road car will never change over to one awarding a race car. It'll just give you another road car instead.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

Boy I have a busy few days ahead.

Cars I'm gonna buy

356 A/1500 GS Carrera 1956 -615k
RX500 1970 - 600k
Ferrari F50 4.3M
Chiron 2016 - 3M
Veyron 16.4 2M
155 2.5 V6 TI 1993 800K
Celica GT-Four (ST205) Rally Car 1995 250K
XNR Ghia Roadster 1960 1.3M

All that while conserving money.

So I just wanna thanks Pd for all the new great Events which should make buying all this cars easier.

 

[Stefan Clift]

This seems promising

 

[Ramosis]

This seems promising

I got an Rampage engine from this guy...

Yea I snagged two Enzo engines this morning!!

I need to dig a bit and understand this engine swap feature. It may be I have an hidden gem and don't know how to make use of it

Gran Turismo 7 Engine Swap Compatibility

As you'll be aware by now, GT7 has engine swaps! Yay! 🎉 The feature works by either gifting you an engine through a roulette ticket (rare in general tickets, some engine-specific tickets are available) or as expensive buyable items through the engine swap facility in GT Auto. Only some cars can...

[GTboyz]

Wow. I finally got the LS7 Rampage engines, tested it in the Amuse and it drives so well! I think this is my new favourite grinding wheel at Le Mans now.

 

[Galvston]

the ferrari thing drives so so well. love it

C8 is much superior car than the older versions.

 

[PuffelPizza]

Anyway, I'm glad the Chiron is already there, and it's about high time Polyphony starts work on a Gr. 3 version of it, so that Bugatti can finally race in the Manufacturers Cup.

My guesses if they do that:
The 1000hp engine is entirely removed and replaced with a much more conservative, approximately 500bhp V8 engine. The AWD layout is replaced with a traditional mid-engine layout. The retractable rear wing is removed too and replaced with a regular Gr.3 style wing.

Does anyone know when new car colours get added, or if in fact they get added?

If I recall, they are usually in the patch notes.
