Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.53 Prediction & Discussion Thread

[MineralBlurb7]

November updates have tended to be sizable, maybe to push some sales in the shopping season.

I’m predicting more than three cars, and hopefully a track. I think Lake Louise dropped in November last year, and Road Atlanta before that (or was it the other way around?).

It’s gotta be a track by now, hopefully Autumn Ring and Autumn Ring Mini, both in reverse as well. Haven’t got a historic car in awhile I don’t think so hopefully a Ford Capri or Ford Escort or Ford Cortina. Still hoping we get tune sharing and custom hud or toggleable hud.

Just for fun, here's some stats:

Mean number of cars: 3.8
Median/mode number of cars: 3

Mean number of

• Road Cars: 2.8
• Race Cars: 0.8
• Tuned Cars: 0.2

• Asia Cars: 1.7
• Europe Cars: 1.6
• USA Cars: 0.5

• Brand Central Cars: 2.3
• Used (only) Cars: 0.7
• Legends Cars: 0.8

• All-New Cars: 2.5
• Returning Cars: 1.2

("returning" includes cars which were present in slightly different specifications/years previously; "brand central" includes any cars available there whether also available used or not)

So, we could expect that our next content update has four cars. They're likely to be three road cars and one race car, probably two each from Asia/Europe (though we've never gone four updates without a US car, and this would be the fourth), with two in Brand Central and one each in Used and Legends, with either three newcomers and one returnee or two and two.

Taking into account that, the nature of recent additions filling in gaps in generations, the propensity for pulling from the first few pages of the GTP Suggestions forum, the good ol' car data lists from waaaay back, and left-field unexpected stuff that they like to pull out from time to time, my predictions would be:

BMW i8 - Road, Europe, Brand Central, New
Ford Fiesta Mk8 ST - Road, USA (lol), Brand Central, New
Mazda Roadster (NB) - Road, Asia, Used, Returning
Nissan R390 GT1 LM - Race, Asia, Legends, Returning


Or maybe that awful-looking Countach LPI800 instead of the i8, as we have had two other Lamborghinis recently. Alternatively, some recent Porsche as it's been a while since we had one and they used to be every other update, pre-2024.

Apparenlty round 4 nations is sports softs standing starts so it looks like new mazda roadster comming

Mazda Roadster (NB) - Road, Asia, Used, Returning

Ah the NB, my favorite and most anticipated Mazda Roadster to appear in GT7. Don't want to sound pessimistic, but on the prediction side, unfortunately my senses are telling me Polyphony will do anything (NC, ND RF, NA J-Limited) before properly adding the NB. I just hope I'm dead wrong.

I have nothing against the Mazda being predicted but personally I'd prefer something that is new and not a variant in the game.

Nothing against people wanting more of the cars they love just find that we get a lot of variant depth for some cars and completely new to the game cars don't get included when they potentially broaden the diversity choice.

It's the same with the GTRs etc all great cars but who wouldn't love an RS4/6 or a Legacy or Stagea etc

It's not about want or love, but about predicting what PD is going to do. Wants, loves, likes, preferences all go in the Wishlist thread and/or Suggestions forum; this thread is about predictions.

The chances of any of my predictions coming true are... not very, but given that we have NA, NC, and ND and PD has been filling in gaps in other model ranges recently (M3, TT, Lancer Evo) it seems more likely than not that the NB - which was in previous games, and is on the datamine list (which is at worst leftover vestigial data) - will be on someone's to-do list and make it into the game eventually.

This update? I doubt it, but it also wouldn't surprise me.

If they use what I'm suspecting they'll use for Round 4, we're in for an absolute treat.

I’m with you on that. Thing is we get all these variants but no variants of the 69 Camaro? I’d rather no variants. I sold all my Honda civics.

Got any good reasoning for this particular four-car selection for this specific update?

Probox because Noriyaro
March because… commuter Nissans need love
Midget II because memes
Gen 2 Copen because the VGT isn't really what I would choose

So... "no" then? And this is just another wishlist.

No, it's my prediction

You've given no reasoning. Predictions are guesses based on evidence. "Memes", "[x] needs love", "because Noriyaro", and "what I would choose" are not that.

What's your evidence that PD would be cooking up a four-car update with no new cars, no high-value cars, comprising exclusively Japanese cars (which has only happened once, on a three-car update, last time out)?

NC

The Mk.3 MX5 isn't currently in GT7, though? I know the NC1 is referenced in the old datamine but I haven't seen it in game. I would've been all over it if it was in game.

Actually, no. It's two NAs and two NDs, isn't it?

Hmm. The NC is new enough to be a BC car too...

Yup. NA '89, NA TC, ND Roadster and ND NR-A.

I've been quietly predicting the NC on basically every update since the datamine came out, but I think that falls more under wishlisting than actual prediction.
