Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.53 Prediction & Discussion Thread

[Famine]

BMW i8 - Road, Europe, Brand Central, New
Ford Mustang Cobra R '00 - Road, USA, Used, Returning
Mazda Roadster (NC) - Road, Asia, Brand Central, Returning
Nissan R390 GT1 LM - Race, Asia, Legends, Returning

Just for fun, here's another list of cars that matches the previous means with a very different flavour (as well as drawing from the datamine list, the GTP Suggestions forum, and a fill-in-the-gaps or two):

Bugatti EB110 - Road, Europe, UCD, New*
Ford GT90 - Road, USA, Legends, Returning
Mazda Roadster (ND) RF - Road, Asia, BC, New
Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak - Race, Europe, BC, New

*Technically; the car was in GT3's files but not in the game

So you do care about the GT90!

I will follow your same logic and try to guess as well!

Ferrari 812 Superfast '19 (or Caterham Seven SuperLight R500 '12) - Road, Europe, Brand Central, New
Corvette C5 Z06 '04 - Road, USA, Used, Returning (and fill the Corvette gap)
Subaru Impreza WRX STI '10 - Road, Asia, Brand Central, Returning
Toyota 7 (or Bentley Speed 8) - Race, Asia (Europe), Legends, Returning

With the addition of the GT-R T-Spec it’s the newest road car in the real world currently for sale, in GT7.

Will be interesting if PD add some new race cars from this year, as the SF23 are the last up to date cars we got. I’d add Super GT cars, but the 2024 season has two more races and and points are close for the top three( 2 Supras and one Civic). Probably too soon to pull the trigger before the champion is crowned. Similar to how the class winning 2021 GT300 Subaru was added in 2022.

Not even slightly. But then it's not a wishlist.

When is the Update 1.53 of GT7?

When is the Update 1.53 of GT7?

Read the first post in this thread.

I think I'm going to completely switch gears and predict that 1.53 update is actually only going to be the My First GT demo and there won't be any update to GT other than an PS5 Pro update.

There will be one, as the Nations Cup rd4 (23/11/24) hasn't any car or track affected to it. It usually means that the combo will be disclosed when the new content will drop.

I might be wrong, but I think the last few times those empty spaces were eventually filled with existing content

Yeah. I'm pretty sure a few pages back someone somehow found out that rd4 is actually at Spa.

Here's the full history of TBD in GT7:

My initial thought was "I'm sure the Nations TBA means a track this month", but I didn't know if the actual facts bear that out, so in order to test the hypothesis, here's all the TBAs in GT7 Championships:

• 2023/24 Exhibition 2 (Nations Round 4) - Jimny
  2023/24 Exhibition 1 (Nations Round 5) - No new content (Gr.3 at Daytona, it was unannounced because they wanted to BoP Gr.3 for the oval)
• 2023 TGR Cup (Round 7) - GR Corolla
• 2022/23 Exhibition 3 (Manufacturers Round 1 and Nations Round 1) - both Grand Valley
• 2022 Nations Cup 2 (Round 6) - No new content (Roadster TC at Alsace Test Course)
• 2022 Nations Cup 2 (Round 4) - Catalunya No Chicane
• 2022 TGR Cup (Round 7) - No new content (GR Yaris at Sardegna Windmills - noteworthy in that the Catalunya RX layout came the next month, could have been planned for that?)
• 2022 Nations Cup 1 (Round 6) - Watkins Glen

So 3 new track or track layout TBAs out of 8, and 3 out of 6 non-TGR TBAs (since I think TGR TBAs are highly likely to be Toyota cars).

Edit: For the record, I think it'll be a new car at Spa. If it were racing tyres, I'd be more sceptical, but on sports softs with BoP on there's no real reason for them to hide it other than new content.
