Gran Turismo 7 Undocumented Changes Thread (Update 1.55)

[RACECAR]

I have been manually grinding the C8 Corvette at LeMans 700 for 7000 miles this past year now,

And After grinding twice with this new update
I can Positively confirm the following changes:

• driving physics is much more stable, easier to drive, less awkward twitch, the computer is able to drive more consistently and in a better manner.
• tire wear rate decreased = tires last slightly longer = positive change
• fuel consumption rate decreased= fuel last slightly longer

All these changes means = I can drive longer and not have to pit as often.

I usually put the fuel rate as lean as possible (level 6) if I want to hope lasting 4 full laps without piting.
Now with this 1.55 update, i can easily go a bit richer up to level 4, and still last easily 4 full laps without even short shifting.

I am loving this physics change .

I've gotten a firm grasp on short shifting ever since I started playing GT7 (Something I could never make work on GT Sport) and prior to the update, I've gotten my NSX to pit only once each run (Able to go 4 laps on fuel). Gonna see if that is still the case or if I can make a no-stopper work.

Can you say what any of them are? Want to make they are new and not just previously unnoticed.

I can’t remember. I bought them and now I own them, so I can’t tell you which ones they were. A couple blues and a tan in Volvo, a bluish black in BMW and a blackish one in Chevrolet (I think). I buy all the new paint colors in every update. I don’t think I would have missed 5 of them in my last go around through the paint purchases, but maybe I did.

If you already own all the paint colors, check out Volvo and see if there are new colors you don’t already own. If there are some, then you know they are from this update.

Looks like there were several new Volvo paint colors, one new BMW color, one new Chevrolet color and I think there was one more but I forgot.

Also, I think it’s pretty cool that you can get different front splitters, rear wings and bodywork for the F3500-A. You can actually customize it to have lots of different looks.

They were added in the previous update, I checked and there are no new colours added this time and Ferrari Grigio Ingrid still has a duplicate paint
