Gran Turismo 7's Next Update is Coming This Week: Escudo Pikes Peak Returns

[Samus]

PD also used Monaco as the scape for the Lamborghini VGT.

That wasn't a Scape, it was just a promo image made by Lamborghini outside of the game.

Now we only have missing the other real life tracks that previous GTs had:

Indianapolis
Silverstone
Monaco
Twin Ring Motegi

And some more OG tracks like:

Grand Valley Speedway
Tokyo R246
Apricot Hill
Midfield Raceway


With Indianapolis, Daytona, Twin Ring Motegi (super speedway), High Speed Ring, Blue Moon Bay and SSRX you can actually have a 5 or 6-race NASCAR championship. Getting the Nascar cars into the game however...
Or at the very least a LIKE THE WIND championship...

Yeah, does PD still remember those? "Championships"? Ya know... Multiple races with points system where the winner gets a prize payout and a car at the end? Or those are erradicated alltogether for the rest of the game?

Before this update was announced I was watching a car podcast and Pikes Peak was being praised and it made me really want it in a modern GT game, esp with Sony holding the rights. Then they announce the Escudo, well I really hope we do get Pikes Peak (and the old and new version, but I would settle for the paved) but Watkins Glen is a good addition. If they keep on adding new circuits the game might eventually be worth it (for me).

I love this track, it came out on Project cars.

 

[GTxForza]

Not bad, but I'm still expecting Polyphony Digital to overhaul this game (Based on the fanbase were asking for) before December 23rd, 2022 (The Gran Turismo franchise's 25th anniversary).

If It's not got the clasic boot layout of watkins i will be slightly unhappy

 

[Racer294]

LoL. my experience of PD is my crystal ball. You seem to be a true believer.

If PD fix lobby settings, I will apologize to PD

 

[juanffy18]

I remember when i played this track for the first time in a Nascar game for PS2

My god the Escudo, Gran Turismo history in one car

 

[ICEYOU3]

On the article it mentions new scapes from Watkins glen

Hmm didn't see that

 

[DivitLad]

link Bro?

I've got the cash no grinding needed, built it up last few day too make sure I got cash for the Escudo. edit must be reply wrong post lol

 

[kjb]

I am surprised to see the Glen will be in GT. I love that track in PC2. I was kinda hoping PP would be the track. I hope the Escudo is affordable

 

[Scaff]

?

You good?

Perfectly.

 

[SestoScudo]

Wasting Pikes Peak licence as usual.

 

[O604]

New cars, a new track and new menu stuff. Pretty solid update.

First added track on GTS was Monza, which came a few months after launch, this seems to follow the same pattern. A good a sign.

Is Tokyo R246 an actual real race track? Or is it like the London, New York, Paris, Rome tracks of GT5?

 

[Majorlazer]

Damn. 9mil for the Escudo I hear... Sheesh! Was expecting it around the 4-5mil bracket.

Where? Where have you heard this, other than someone's nether region.

 

[RACECAR]

Not betting at all but there's history in the relationship and NASCAR will no doubt be looking for something new to add their name to given the turd that's parading around as the official game at the moment.

While true, Watkins Glen's history extends beyond NASCAR hence why I say it shouldn't be looked at as a potential indicator solely for the NASCAR license (again, the 6 Hours is this weekend. Give it a watch if you can). As for NASCAR, I'm pretty sure they already have been looking to do something better then..THAT. Don't think its GT though, not right now anyway.

 

[samppa_944]

So Suxuki vgt gr3 has basically 2 hayabusa engines join with ducktape??😅😅

That sounds like so hilarious that I just have to like that 😄

 

[Veinz]

Nascar just isn’t going to happen any time soon.

Maybe Pikes Peak as christmas update present ;-)

 

[FerrariF40]

Siverstone would be nice, since this track is lot of fun

 

[MrNukki]

Getting the opportunity to drive the Escudo again is wonderful. However, the only thing that would be a shame is not implementing the legendary Nike 2022. I mean, it IS a car that is meant to come out this year.

 

[Nielsen]

I had a good feeling we would get a new circuit with this update. For the basic reason it was getting overdue when compared to the content output managed by GT Sport.

Watkins Glen is no doubt a historic location, but it’s honestly not a track I’ve ever enjoyed that much. Though, it’s decent enough and I’m certainly not complaining.

I’m glad to see the Suzuki Escudo back. Not because I expect to use it much but it brings back childhood memories of playing split screen multiplayer with old friends on PS1. As for the hot rod and VGT, kinda meh.

I heard it's based on a bus route.

 

[samppa_944]

Yeah that and Indy, as well as a few OG tracks like Grand Valley and Apricot Hill being added back into the game would be nice.

Btw just FYI, the dataminers suggest that: Red Rock Valley, Grand Valley and Road Atlanta exist as files for this game. Watkins Glen was one of the tracks too in the files.

All cars that have been added so far exist in a list of 80, also data collected by dataminers. I think HSG Automotive on Youtube has talked about this.

Looks like Dataminers have done a good job so far 🤔

Apparantly some guy in some Discord server, meaning .. we don't know the price

 

[GTvsForza]

I think it's going to start at 1 mil, then bump it up after a while.

 

[JoaoSilva]

This is an awesome update, i finally have a good reason to play GT7 for a while. Watkins Glen is such an historical circuit, it will be great fun to drive in it.

 

[georgetigra]

Nostalgia punch update! I love it.

I'd sooner put stock into the homeless person that begs outside PD's office than someone on Discord.
