Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.23 Now Available: Adds New Cars, Menu Books, Races, and Scapes

[Quakebass]

I have a theory that you might be able to install the PP (and potentially other) spec aero in GT Auto.

 

[RACECAR]

I don't see a single car heading to Hagerty honestly. Sure the ID.R set records but remember that we have not 1 or 2 but 3 Le Mans Winning cars and none of them are in the LCD (which has all the Le Mans winners and championship winners are from before 2000). Its pretty much well into the 2000s so its a no brainer that its gonna be in Brand Central and given the pattern I've seen so far, I don't see that changing just for this car.

It’ll be interesting if the ID.R in-game does have the Pikes Peak classification however. Even if it’s not technically the same car.

The only similar comparison I can make are Group C cars. Some low downforce spec like the XJR-9LM. Others high downforce like the 962C. It’s one of my biggest bugbears, something PD addressed with the MP4/4 aero kits.

That is one thing I find odd with the customizations in regards to Race cars. You have both the Honda NSX and Nissan GT-R GT500 cars from 2016 that can be customized with the 2017 Rear Wings and the Audi R8 GT3 Evo that can have its rear wing customized to be the Evo II Rear wing (And the Mclaren MP4/4 as you mention,) but you can't for instance add High downforce endplates to the Mclaren F1 GTR to make it look as it ran in the FIA GT Championship nor JGTC or give the Mercedes CLK LM the Diveplanes it had from the same championship. Would've absolutely loved being able to give the R92CP the Rear Wing from the Kokuyo Team Take One car.

Oh look, another Pikes Peak Time Attack car coming to GT and probably without Pikes Peak I'm assuming. T_T

Well, at least you can say this car technically was a time attack car for other tracks too.

And one of those very tracks it made a record setting lap at IS on this very game (Same layout as well). I certainly know what one of my record breaker videos will feature (Provided the physics don't destroy me first )

It's not that much of a secret though (although I thought it was the MXX) - and neither is the DeltaWing (I found a post from me in 2013 noting the AMR-One tub). Tub-sharing isn't that peculiar either - the R390 was a Jaguar XJR-15, which wasn't that far removed from an XJR-9.

Hell if I recall, the DeltaWing is only one of two cars that had the Aston Martin AMR-One tub (Which makes it all the more funny that it raced far more then the car it originally came from and even lasted longer).

With Petit Le Man on October 1st, I wouldn't be too surprised to see Road Atlanta appear in this update.

I wouldn't count on that. PD have had Pikes Peak licensed for god knows how long and yet during the actual week of the event this year (The 100th Anniversary mind you), they choose...not to include it. We were just lucky The Six Hours at the Glen was the same weekend so Watkins Glen as an addition was at best a happy coincidence. Even though Gran Turismo is now a "Partner" of IMSA, I'd save yourself the potential disappointment of that thought.

I will have a fit if this car ends up in the Legendary Dealership.

 

[HarVee]

I will have a fit if this car ends up in the Legendary Dealership.

Agreed. Car might've broke some records, but it would be better if it was in BC for sake of player convenience.

 

[RACECAR]

Where are people getting this idea that the Volkswagen ID.R might be going in the Legendary Car Dealership? I know we have the Dior Mangusta but that's literally just a duplicate with a car livery. This is car that does not meet all the LCD Criteria (In particular, the part about being old) and I don't see a reason for this to be any different.

with ID.R is like 50/50 if it will be in Legendary or just in regular car shop , you could argue that it is a legendary car just because of those records

From this:

As a quick side-note... if the ID.R goes into Legends Cars as expected, you'll only be able to drive the Porsche from these three cars on the actual update day; the ID.R and Silvia will be added as Hot pick in Legends and Used Cars respectively from 0000 UTC on Friday.

It's a unique race car which broke all-time records at Pikes Peak, Nurburgring (EV category), Goodwood Hill Climb, and the admittedly more recent (first record was 2016) Tianmen Mountain ascent.

While it would definitely be the newest thing in there (except the Dior Mangusta, which is technically a 2022 creation, but then is also all kinds of messed up with regards to its status) and the only 2001-and-on car not to be in Brand Central, it meets every other criterion for being a Legends Car.

It depends on whether PD considers 2001+ a hard line for Brand Central or not.

I added this:

Going back to the eadly Trailers, there was this photo.

We don’t know if this was meant to be a player’s garage or Legendary Car Dealership(Brighton Antiques at the time). There are classics and new cars(the Ford GT ‘17) together. The windows make it look like the LCD. So, maybe certain newer cars could have been part of the LCD. We just don’t know.

 

[RobertHammer]

If i had to guess: VW ID.R - LCD , Porsche VGT Spyder - Brand Central and Nissan Silvia S14 - Used car dealership

 

[GTboyz]

From this:



I added this:

What about the Isle of Mann WRX ?

 

[05XR8]

What about the Isle of Mann WRX ?

As in a special TT car that could be in the LCD?

 

[SG_86]

Hyped for this update

Volkswagen ID.R is a beast

And i hope the mysterious car is the Silvia S14 Zenki

 

[GTboyz]

As in a special TT car that could be in the LCD?

Yep. But I don't know much about that car. Is it actually LCD worthy?

 

[GTFan24]

Hmmmmmm...

Here before the "this update doesn't have my uncle's 1997 Chrysler Grand Voyager LX in it, not playing again Polyphony" comments.

No Pinto = no play for me! .
lol!!

 

[Zero2Oblivion]

Right, but what engines can I swap into it?!

 

[TheGhostOf94]

No Pinto = no play for me! .

Pinto with a 2.0 from Focus RS.

 

[MagpieRacer]

If i had to guess: VW ID.R - LCD , Porsche VGT Spyder - Brand Central and Nissan Silvia S14 - Used car dealership

Can't see any reason why the VW would be in the LCD.

 

[05XR8]

Yep. But I don't know much about that car. Is it actually LCD worthy?

Ah, okay. We just don’t know the criteria for the LCD. I mean, we see what PD placed in it, but with certain cars some of feel should and should not be in the LCD, we just really don’t know why Kaz/PD have chosen them.

Subaru's Youtube channel uploads the run in all it's glory.

Mark Higgins speaking during the run. It is a special car. LCD worthy? Sure, it’s a legendary car on a legendary course. Again, we just don’t know what PD consider legends.

 

[BeardedWolf]

But...the ID.R isn't that old. It made its competition debut in 2018. Why would it immediately go into Legends? That'd make it the newest "Legend" by far. It'll probably be in the new car dealer under Volkswagen.

 

[ZEE]

I am excited to try this car, but would be nice to have variations of this vehicle where you go into GT Auto and switch it bit like the widebody option, so that we see the variants of the same car.

I also hope they dont nerf the car in silly PP races that restrict it's full potential. Nurburgring & GP variant, Spa and Lemans is where I see this car excel in races.

 

[sirjim73]

You and everyone else, given that Porsche literally said that in the post in which it revealed the car.

It is very much a missing link in the current car list though, as we only have S13 and S15 models. It's also one of the cars that's been in GT since the beginning, and is extremely popular as a drift car (among other things).

It's literally in the article...

Porsche Vision GT Spyder Coming to Gran Turismo 7 on September 29

Porsche has revealed a new version of its Vision Gran Turismo, and let slip that it will be coming to Gran Turismo 7 in a game update on September 29. The announcement seems to have come a little ahead of schedule, appearing only in the "community" section of the official Porsche YouTube channel

Maintenance Notice

Australian site reads
At the following time, we will perform game update maintenance on the 'Gran Turismo 7' servers.

That is one thing I find odd with the customizations in regards to Race cars.

Paging @Touring Mars for the highlighted section.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.23 Adds Volkswagen ID.R, Nissan Silvia S14, and Porsche Vision GT Spyder; Arrives September 29​

Polyphony Digital has revealed the contents of the 1.23 update to Gran Turismo 7, which will be available on September 29 on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5...

 

[breyzipp]

Personally I’m done caring about any more vehicles that come to the game. A proper singleplayer campaign and more circuit locations is all that matters to me now.

The tendency seems to be that every 2 updates we get something changed on circuits. Either they add a different starting line (Spa), alternative routes (Barca) or a new circuit altogether (Watkins). Last month was Barca, this month nothing and I predict next month we get something changed on the circuits again.

For GT8 I sure hope they remove scapes out of the game altogether so they can’t clutter up patch notes with that anymore…

 

[mastretta_mx]

Most disappointing update so far

 

[masterrawad]

I'm a little disappointed that PD thinks the Porsche VGT Spyder is substantial enough to take up a car slot this month, but hey. We got the IDR and the S14!

But honestly, I'm far more interested in whatever QoL updates that will come in this update, if any at all.

 

[Samus]

I still don't get how these updates are supposed to be appealing. Or rather, who they're supposed to be appealing to.

Is it the people still playing the game? Chances are the people still playing after 7 months are either going to keep playing no matter what, or they're not going to be convinced to stick around with three cars and an hour of content.

Or is it the people who have stopped playing altogether? Are they really thinking that people will re-install the game and start playing again because of three cars and an hour of content? Considering the install/download time, it seems incredibly unlikely to me.

Then specifically the Porsche, who are they expecting that to excite? Surely even people who generally do like VGTs aren't going to be jumping with excitement at a copy of an existing car with the roof cut off. The whole appeal of a convertible is rather lost in the digital world, unless PSVR2 is going to have a "feel the wind in your hair" device. It's otherwise exactly the same.

The ID.R and Silvia are decent additions and sure to have lots of fans, but they're still just two cars.

Caveat of course that we don't know the rest of the update yet but if it's anything but the usual hour of content and more Scapes stuff I'll be amazed.

You look at the updates other "live" games are providing and they might not be as frequent but they're far more in-depth and you can see how they'd help retention/bringing players back. Large amounts of contents, entire new quests, new game modes, etc.

These GT updates, they feel like random updates for the sake of it because it's the end of the month and they're just updating the build internally. Except it's actually an already released product.

 

[Faldrath]

I am slightly hoping that we'll get a more substantial update when it comes to QoL and game systems because it's been 6 months since launch, and the mystery tweet from yesterday did increase that hope a little, but, you know.
