Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.31 is Now Available

[Bojador]

With DTM RS5 this is one of the best updates. Incredible news <3
There is also high chance of group 2 events then <3

Let’s hope they give us the BMW and the Aston as well. 🤞

 

[RichiPuppy]

Just an fyi the Porsche 959 is not mid engine.

I am grateful for PD adding a 959, now just fix these incredibly low payouts and add more events for the cars in the game, and it could be a real Gran Turismo game.

 

[Vinylshark]

With the Audi being most-likely Gr.2, I wonder if they will also bring some BoP changes to Gr.2 to get rid of the GT-R cup.

 

[suomi1]

The 959 has been long overdue in my opinion, so that’s really great. Neither can I complain about the 904, but can we now please take a Porsche break for the next few updates or so? I know there was a dreadful time when EA was exclusively sitting on Porsche licensing rights in racing games, but I feel like PD has a developed a slight Porsche bias lately. Not the worst bias one could have though.

Same mixed feeling here. We waited so long for Ferrari and Porsche, and now I feel like they kind of bloat the game (or cannibalise the others). However, some of the iconic cars of these two brands are still absent...

Whatever, it looks like a qualitative update nonetheless.

PD has a hard-on for Porsche and Nissan.

PD announce 10000BHP VGTs: Ugh, no thanks.

PD announce GT3 race cars: Interesting...

PD announce a random van: Oh yeah, that's the happy jam right there. Going to have to take that to the wide body boys and start a party.

@hyperspeed980 Permission to launch the ron paul.

Just woke up.

Can confirm this car pack is gonna be certifiably QUALITY.

I can't wait to take the Alphard drifting around literally every circuit.

 

[mastretta_mx]

If this update includes the rumored Nurburgring variants or a new track it will the best update so far

 

[gthelmi2398]

I just be happy about a modern DTM car. Waited so long for it.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7’s Next Update is Coming Soon, Adds Five New Cars​

The next update for Gran Turismo 7 will arrive during the week commencing March 27, as confirmed by series creator Kazunori Yamauchi in his usual social media teaser...

A stupid mini van not 2 mention 2 more asian cars what a surprise GT7 sucks it really sucks I can't wait to switch to computer so I can get some real cars that people want to drive. ENOUGH MAZDAS, TOYOTAS, NISSANS ALREADY. GIVE US SOME MODERN CHALLENGERS SOME CLASSIC AMERICAN CARRS. ASIAN CARS MAKE UP 79 PERCENT OF THE GAME. TAKE A LEASON FROM FORZA THEY KNOW HOW TO PUT TOGETHER A CAR LIST

 

[brockie]

Really interested in the dtm car and where those will play out, hopefully in race b

Maybe a new track too? Road America pls

Gr.2 isn't the GTR cup, it's very track dependant. Handling focused tracks are NSX cups, power tracks are CLK cups, and the GTR slots somewhere in the middle.
The '16 GT500's aren't really a million miles away from each other, but the best one for the track will always end up being the one picked.

The '08 GT500s and the F1 GTR though, eesh. They need help.

Is PD not allowed to add non-American tracks?

 

[Keef]

Not a complaint, but dang, the Mazda3 is AWD.

So if the Mazda3 is the Burgundy Selection, I believe that means it has the red interior finish, which looks fantastic.

Does this mean it's turbo also? They didn't offer that trim level in the US, not sure what it means.

 

[sejtur]

I'd like a street track like Singapore in F1. Or if it must be a true circuit, Donington or Hockenheim.

And if it HAS to be a US track, Sebring.

 

[Racer93]

I'm glad 5 car packs are becoming a trend for GT 7, they allow much more variety in cars added 👍

And PD finally added the legendary 959, it's happening, I can't believe it!!! Audi DTM and Porsche 904 are also great choices

 

[zdravkelja]

I'm guessing that since they are done with VR implementation, now they can add in more cars per update. At least I hope so.

 

[dacc10]

Atleast it's a 5 car uptade, with no duplicates. 3 cars are amazing, the other 2 are just weird choices, as there are cooler vans out there, and much cooler/sportier hatchbacks. Would rather have a Mazda 3 or 6 MPS, or a Focus RS Mk1 and Mk2, Golf R, and so on.

Well, Kaz did say recently that PD can put 60 new vehicles per year, so I believe 5 car packs (occasionally 4) will become a trend this year.

Not the worst bias one could have though.

Mazda 3 could be nice if that’s the one, but I would have preferred some of the missing classics first (Cosmo, NB Roadster and Efini RX-7).

Personally I could not care less about the Toyota van, and I don’t know what to expect from the the racing car, as it’s too vague for me to pin down.

No man we need some more porsches, the new 911 or the 911 GT1 Le Mans 1998 winner

 

[VinylRichie]

Ι hope for 959 not to be sky high expensive!!!! Same for 904!!!!

It shouldn’t be over 2 million Cr. I would say.

I also find a bit too much in general regarding Porsche, on the other side I’m overly happy that they finally add the 959!! And if they stop, than do it but after they added the 928 GTS, 914 and the Ur-911, than I don’t miss anything on the Porsche side!😅

And yes the Mazda Cosmo would be very very welcome, it’s such a important car in the history of the brand

 

[Marty_Debiru]

I mistook the 959 for some kind of second gen Camaro/Firebird lmao

 

[rmac923]

Toyota Alphard Executive Lounge '18 - Hoping it gets a bonkers engine swap, otherwise neat novelty
Porsche 959 '87 - YAY
Audi RS 5 Turbo DTM '19 - YAY Finally a new Gr. 2 car!
Mazda3 X Burgundy Selection '19 - Not something I'll drive often
Porsche Carrera GTS (904) '64 - Nice

Honestly 4 out of 5 are solid additions IMO

Aside from the very wonky post (which I've fixed), bizarre shouting, double-counting, and... other issues with it...

ASIAN CARS MAKE UP 79 PERCENT OF THE GAME

Being very generous with the definition of "Asian" (and "Cars"), Asian cars make up 36.38% of the game before this update, and will make up 36.42% of the game after this update. Edit: Let's be more generous: 36.82% before, 36.85% after.


I guess 84.5% of all statistics used in arguments on the internet really are made up on the spot, just as Julius Caesar said at the opening of the EPCOT Center.

 

[BrunusCL82]

Calm down, man! We still have Indianapolis, Road America, Sebring, Sonoma, Barber, Long Beach and COTA, plus Seattle and others fictional ones to add.

 

[Fruitcake]

"GT games of old majored in DTM machinery, but it’s a class that’s been absent from both GT Sport and GT7 thus far — old-school 155 Super Touring aside."

The 155 is a DTM car, not a Super Touring one.

See: http://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/338/

 

[Bojador]

I would love they bring back GT4 DtM cars like the Astra.

Drove that car to the ground over at R246

RS5 DTM the star of the show. Awesome, hope to see some more DTM going forward.

Considering PD/Sony is a Japanese (read, Asian) company, it's a bit like complaining the Forza series is too American-focused. I'd expect nothing less from a European/British developer/publisher with "over-representation" of models from the east side of the Atlantic.

Anyway, back to the update, the car list looks rather solid, if potentially expensive. It's looking likely that we'll get new menu books rather than a new track this time, but we won't know that for certain until the update actually drops.
