Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.53 Prediction & Discussion Thread

[Raf997]

I kinda smell a perfume of a Spec 3.0 this time with: new endurances, B-Spec, new track, more events, Sophy support on more tracks, swaps, scapes and cars

2002 Turbo because it popped up on one of those annoying useless fact screens.

I'd love that, but we were told in an earlier posts next update does not look to contain cars from the datamine. Hey, if it's a different year 2002 Turbo(not the '74 in the datamine) that's a possibility.

It's just eau de toilette, it'll fade quickly.

I hadn't actually read this thread in a while, I didn't realise it was confirmed the cars were outside of the datamine.

That does make me think at least one contemporary race car is going to feature, as those have good reason to not be in a 2022 datamine and we are rather overdue one.

Given that line of thinking, a new GT500 set, or a an updated Ferrari GT3 so they don't have to broadcast a 458 at the world finals are logical choices. But the Brown/Broadbent M4 GT4 is the car that sets off my internal "this is what they'd probably prioritise" alarm. It's a GT4 car entered into a series sponsored by GT, driven by their most popular streamer and their commentator. That's marketing gold, and frankly most other games would probably already have it in and be overdoing the social media tie-ins for it.

When I initially booted up this morning, this bit of info popped up:

So, I went to the Toyota Museum next bit of info is this:

If there’s talk of completing lineage, this is one to get closer to completing the Supra model. It’s a Toyota. It’s a returning car. It definitely adds to the Group A of it all. Plus, it straddles both Celica and Supra branches.

I'd like to think the Nations Cup race around Spa would be where that fits in but the Sports Softs being used and brake balance being on makes me think of 4 things:

• It can be a cup car like the 992 GT3 Cup or a new Gr.4 car that can handle Sport Softs
• Retro open wheeler car (e.g AAR Eagle) because the Eiger Nordwand Nations Cup race featuring the Honda RA272 with Comfort Softs set a precedent
• Track monster or a hypercar that has brake balance and has Sport Softs on
• Retro race car that can handle Sport Softs and has brake balance on.

Not going count out a road car being used but that's unless it has brake balance installed.

It's kinda been a trend that Sophy is added to a fantasy and real track so I'm feeling like Monza and Trial Mountain are next. They seem to be prioritizing the more popular tracks among players.

That's all I have lol

I really hope Sophy will get free out of Arcade Mode shackles, at least for Custom race. I think this could be possible, last time when they introduced Sophy 2.0 they mamaged to add a lot of features at the same time with 20 cars support.

I think 992 GT3 Cup is a fundamental piece of motorsports still missing from the game, AND it really should be gr.4. It is the definition of gr.4 - basically a street car factory build for track. It also would be a very popular choise for one-make online racing.
