Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.49: Eiger Nordwand, Six New Cars, Physics Changes, & More

[Boxster]

Nice update. Raises my hope for that wonderful Eiger rally track, I believe it was called K-Trail?

 

[Draugnimir]

Wow, my favourite Eiger Nordwand is actually coming back to GT7, I'm really excited now 😍

I remember the day when I saw first screenshots from GT HD Concept, nearly 20 years ago, and how astonishingly photorealistic they seemed back then. Ah, good times

Selection of new cars is decent too. I can live with another VGT if we're getting 5 cool production models alongside it (even if some choices are puzzling, like RUF or F430 Scuderia). Also intrigued with the "new physics". Can't wait for July 25!

Looks to be a great update. Most looking forward to new wheels and praying for some Rays LM wheels, similar to the Nismo 400R!

Slightly worried about the physics changes seeing as I've just started a youtube series trying to build up a leaderboard of lap times for stock and upgraded road cars which may well be rendered completely void after the update... Not looking forward to the idea of restarting a few months' worth of work but at least I didn't get more done I guess.

Going by the trailer, the physics changes hint at the rally side of things... kinda hoping it's just an overhaul of the weird rally physics.

I already do, but Eiger looks so pretty, would be nice to see it from the train.

The train takes you upto the top of the Yungfrau mountain (IRL). The views, especially of the glacier, are spectacular.

Take my credits for a Techno Violet E36 M3!!!

And a second one in Estoril Blue.....and a 3rd in Oxford Green!

Couple of thoughts...

The physics update probably is not that huge, because it would mean they would have to run ALL of Sophy simulations all over again. Sophy is based on a specific (default) setup of each car, so when the behaviour changes, it won't know exactly how to drive it anymore. I therefore suspect that the physics update has mainly to do with the Michelin tyre sponsoring ... maybe it's about tyre warmup, etc (which is probably deactivated in Sophy races anyway).

Sadly for me, even with 6 cars it's not that great of a selection. Would have preferred more variety: for example California or GTC4Lusso instead of another 430 would have done wonders. Or M5 instead of another M3. However, a new track is always nice, and the other additions/changes seem pretty exciting as well.

Is it ee-ger or eye-ger?

Eyeger

 

[HarVee]

Eyeger

Thanks. The sexy pronunciation prevails.

Its Eyeger

Well guess I was too slow with the answer as I had to register xD

 

[Mathaios_C]

A bit sad that the track is going to be too short. It was the pwrfect occasion to have a longer version. Why pd why???

 

[Uday9479]

The Edgar track has great variations for a short or long race.

Wonder if I'll ever see the Caterham car in GT7?

Welcome aboard

Well, ofc, as usual, most ppl seem to be excited.
Tbh I'm rather disappointed. I watched the Eiger Track on YouTube when someone mentioned it yesterday and while it looks nice (visually), it seems rather bland to drive.
And for the cars: The E36 is a great addition, was always wondering why it's not there while we have the E30 and E46. But the rest.... I mean, I love Ferrari but I was hoping for one that isn't in the game yet and not another F430. The Lambo is ok, same for the RUF. Group B I don't really care, VGT I don't care at all.
I'm curious though what exactly "new tires" and "new physics" means....

The track is actually awesome to drive. It’s just too short in my opinion

 

[symaski62]

ty ! 25 july update

big one

 

[Cmon Tiga]

I guess we will only get the road layout. Otherwise, they would have shown the dirt layouts in the trailer, with the Impreza jumping around.

 

[Greatbee]

OMG! The track I really hope to return in GT!❤️❤️❤️

Thank you

Will be the Alps Version of Tsukuba

Yeah same. Consider me disappointed.

A short tarmac rally stage is not what I wanted. Especially considering the last proper race track for GT7 came out in November 22.

I know you can’t please everyone and I know many people are looking forward to Eiger and that’s cool.

Personally I want to race race cars on race tracks - so nothing here for me content wise.
We did get very cool cars in the recent updates though.

Very exited for Sophy on the Nordschleife.

Here’s something changed about the circuit, not sure if anyone has covered it yet. Coming out of the tunnel towards the final section of the circuit, looks like there’s a separate road coming in from the right (pictures included, I don’t have a fast enough trigger finger). Not sure if it’s for cinematics or if it’s a possible new layout, but thought it was interesting

 

[karelpipa]

At last we are getting that Impreza from GT:HD. It only took roughly 15 years!


Yeah, the tunnel seems to be very narrow now. There are 2 separate tunnels i guess

Looks like the exit of a pit lane.

Someone figured it out before. Should be the pit lane entrance.

Yeah, Sophy on NS could be nice! Hope it's available for more than just 1 lap races though.

 

[MroczMR]

Wait... Do someone know which Discord server does he mean? It seems like this Physics update will be pretty big!

 

[ItsHim]

Looking forward to the Ruf and 430 Scuderia.

Maybe abusing the curbs now degrades the tyres more?

That would be my death. Driving on the curbs 24/7 even if I dont want to xD Imagine Nordschleife..
