The Maserati vs Ford GT is a good rivalry. GT7 should have a matchup endurance race. Call it Multimatic vs. Dallara, or Ford vs. Ferrari.
 
There have been six rounds of the championship so far; it started in April.

Anyone who has entered any race in any of those rounds already will have a points ranking and receive the car. If you haven't done that and want to win the car for free you'll have to enter a race in round seven, which is the one that actually uses the GR Corolla itself. This takes place on August 27th.
Can anybody enter regardless of rank or ability?Do you need to finish in any particular position to get the car for free,ive not done a race in sport mode in GT7 so probably not that good.

Anyone with ps plus can enter, DR only taken into consideration of what league you are placed into. All entrants should receive the car, no need to worry about placement or skill level.

I entered for the first time, I don't race online and just do Time Trials and have a D DR as a result. I got 10 points for a win, essentially nothing (others get 200+ it seems) but gets me in to the bronze rewards which means I will get credits at the end of the series
 
My thoughts on this update. Sorry for the long post.

The Maserati MC20 was a very interesting addition, much more than I thought. Already in its stock form, it has excellent handling, always predictable, just a little understeer. I then tried to elaborate it as a GT3, with a very basic setup, yet with 510 hp x 1,310 kg (a sort of BoP comparable to that of the Ferrari 296 GT3 IRL) it does not go beyond 695.xx PP, even on RM tyres. At that point I tested it in the WTC700 Le Mans event, and it was a killer. Very easy win. The only small problem, even on fuel map 6 it's not easy to complete 3 laps per stint. Maybe with less hp, preparing it more like a Gr. 4, it would be better. On the other hand, it is very kind to the tyres. I still want to prepare it as a GT3 anyway, I'll still work on it.

The GR Corolla would probably be a great car with a setup, as it stands it seemed to me very nervous in terms of rear axle, when cornering it tends to point a lot at the apex... it's strange. But as I said it's not bad, with a little practice you "understand" and adapt to it.

The Corvette is not really my thing, I like vintage cars but this is also a roadster... I can't deny that for me Gran Turismo is a racing game more than a driving game, so I don't really like cars like this. But I admit that it is sooo iconic and therefore I understand who appreciates it.

The Toyota HiMedic, well... I prefer not to comment. I repeat, in a game that for me is above all a racing game, I would have preferred other additions. Seems like a bit of a waste of time and resources.

On the lack of a new track, what can I say... It's very disappointing, not because there aren't enough tracks, but because there are so many others, sometimes already present in the series, real or fictional, that I would like to return. I mean: am I the only one who thinks that creating Silverstone just for GT6 was a waste, for example? Or upgrade, again only for GT6, Midfield and Apricot Hill?
I want Midfield so badly. Got so many memories from it
 
I chose the Corolla GR because it is a 4x4 and it must be fun in rally... yesterday I did the test in Atlanta, with road tires it gives a lot of rear, the Yaris too, but without much difficulty I reached the second 34,,, maybe do the race on the 27th, the car should be cheap, the price of a set of tires more or less,,,, I haven't tested the Maserati or the Chevy yet,,, I've read here about the exhaust noise of the Chevy's V8 and I would still like to know what the exhaust noise (in race) is very identical to the original car... except the 10 seconds of noise when we change cars in the garage, and not all.
 
Yes, I can. The purpose is to find out what people's favourite is, not who doesn't like any of them. If it's too difficult to choose, don't. It's not a compulsory poll.

If I wanted to know what everyone's favourite is from what they bought I'd have said that and not included the two cars you can't buy.

The question very clearly states "by any criteria you wish", because that's the point of it.

It's not a discussion; the poll is exactly how I want it to be.
Yeah, if you don't like any of the cars, don't vote. Simple.

Yea, agree with most that this is underwhelming. Two cars available now, and two cars behind a 'bribe-wall.' You want them early, then you have to sign up for our stuff! Whatever.


Per the patch notes, for those who are participating in the Toyota Cup can drive the Corolla now (albeit at one track), however, you do not get the car until after the Atlanta event is over. We all get how that works. But a derivative part of that is for the RA race, you wont be able to do any custom paint colors or liveries... I hate when all the cars look basically identical.

At least we get a free GTR (even if it is just for promotional purposes) which I'll promptly be selling for the 125k or whatever it's worth.

I agree, the update is bad.

RA272 is still available in Legendary shop, 2,5 mil is 1,5 hours of playing one of the big paying races (there are 4 of them). If that is too much of an effort, then I don't know what to say 🤷.
 
Chevrolet Corvette C1 '58 and toyota Himedic Ambulance '21,
These two cars are very distinctive, and the final ticket was given to C1,
1. Because C1 it is FR.
2. Ambulance is locked.
 
Not fussed on this update. Not even gonna bother firing it up. Seems like PD are drip feeding things to prolong the life of the game, without really adding much substance. Got tired of this type of game design with GTA V Online, so have moved onto other games until such time PD actually do something proper with the game again.

In my eyes this isn't a true GT7, it's another stop gap game like GT Sport/GT Concept, GT4/5 Prologue etc. So i'm now waiting for GT8 to release in 13 years time.

There are good things about GT7 don't get me wrong (and i do occasionally fire it up to drive some of my favourite cars), but they've messed with the formula so much that it doesn't feel like a GT main title game like 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6.
 
I’m almost completely blind so it’s tough for me to read through a lot of text/find the right article thats why i ask the question here.. its not alot to ask for to be honest…
Playing GT must be quite tough also. How do you manage?
 
It is an ok update but it is not what i/we expected: we have the le mans track, Group C cars, Prototypes from different era, classic lemans cars but no race to attend. I am sorry for those who spend so much time to make this legendary beautiful cars and some idiot at PD can not create some classic Lemans and other endurance races. Even split screen i can't play with my friends because i can't disable assist for 2nd player. I feel like they drown on the shore after crossing the ocean or abandon a marathon in the last 100 meters.
 
The new Hypercar event being on the Gardens layout of Dragon Trail is actually annoying. The Seaside version of the circuit is a much better fit for these cars. Gardens has this narrow and technical character which feels too confined for faster cars.
Le Mans perhaps even without chicanes would be much better
 
...after one year of crappy updates that shouldn't even be called like that, nobody should be surprised by this. I'd rather would have an update that costs 10 to 20 bucks with like several new GT3 Cars, Tracks and Road Cars that are really missing, instead if all this free useless crap. So I don't even care about this so called updates.

Like I mentioned earlier, they should have ALL the new cars from launch. Imagine FIFA, Madden, NBA 2k, ACC, or whatever sports or motorsports game releasing a new game, bringing just back the already outdated cars or teams back from 2017, just with updated graphics... And you pay the full price for that product...well...it's on US not playing this game anymore. Or rather I should have read about the cars in game by release before buying that graphics upgrade for that price. In the end it's just the players complaining but still playing and waiting for, for what? For cars from 2019 (McLaren 720S GT3, Ferrari 488 GT3, or some Koenigsegg, Rolls Royce, Bentley and stuff) that are already four years old, being replaced by Evo's or new models (M4, 296 GT3, Porsche 992 911 GT3-R, ...) and even them still not in the game because they have that 2012 Aston Martin, 2013 Ferrari and 2015 McLaren, ... The list goes on and on.

It's on us what we do with the money and our time, and me by myself decided to play different games and leave that one. I am just doing stuff in this game to make it enjoyable for my son. Nothing else anymore. And I definitely won't ever buy a PD game again. That's on everyone himself deciding what to do with this game.

But stop expecting great updates with a lot of new cars that's relevant... Where this expectations come from? In one and a half year of free updates since it's launch, you should already know that these expectations won't ever be fulfilled. So for me I just don't care. But IF they will decide to finally REALLY update the cars in the game, I will be positive surprised because I am not expecting that ever to happen with this game.

So am just not disappointed, I was expecting this anyway. Ok, the ambulance this month and the music rally last month was even worse than expected, but as I don't care it's changing nothing for me. I can't do less than not playing it anymore.
 
I found the GRC to be a hoot to drive around Road Atlanta, and wow watch the rear end under braking!

But how could PD give this car so much attention and screw up the basics. 1) no ability to adjust the front/rear torque distribution. This is a factory feature, so why isn't it available in the game? (I have a small hunch it's just locked for the GR Cup event, but still in my eyes that still doesn't make sense). And 2) the overlay boost gauge is wildly inaccurate. IRL the G16 peaks at just over 26 psi yet in the game it doesn't even exceed the 1 bar hash mark. Come on PD, give credit where credit's due.

And a smaller criticism is that a boost gauge isn't show on the car's own digital display. Instead PD opted to show us the coolant temp, oil temp and oil pressure. And also a G meter. All basically illegible anyway.
 
The C1 is cool. Haven’t driven any of the others, don’t care to either. Disappointed we didn’t get a track, any track, even a kart track... just anything please.

-We need a customizable HUD
-Move the timer off the horizon in kart cockpit view
-Show us which tires we currently have on each car
-Let us share tunes/setups
-Car settings has that handy info on the left, tuning shop doesn’t show all info, you have to hop back into garage car settings when trying to tune up some cars to be well matched
-Hand off lobby when the host has to call it a night
-Payout better for custom or arcade races since half the cars don’t have any races to compete in. $5000 is a brutal payout for arcade or custom.
-The game has been out long enough let me give friends credits or cars to get them up to speed for online races together

Cutting my list off there so this isn’t a three page post lol

With regard to the ambulance do you think we will have the option to turn the siren off?

I noticed in the PlayStation chanel video it had the sirens blaring away, if I am gonna do races with it I hope one of the buttons will turn the siren off and just have the lights like with the GTR Pace Car of old games?

Is there any mention about that anywhere yet?

If anybody enters my lobby with one of those it’ll be an instant kick, I kick horn honkers too lol

No idea, can you enable/disable sirens in pace cars? I'd wager the HIMEDIC siren works the same way.
