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

[Rizla]

I seem to remember some talk of Road Atlanta a wee while back. Thought to myself, well I like that circuit, would thoroughly enjoy learning & racing on it but... All the time I'd be secretly thinking of Watkins Glen.
So aye, very happy to see this circuit make it's debut in Gran Turismo.

Can someone please translate this

Not sure but I'll give it a go.

He's got a boner because a couple of the cars in this update were on a data mined car list.

 

[Samus]

I'm getting a good launch remembering the mods pretty much bully a guy who leaked the car list that he was "wrong" a week or so ago, the ford proves that list is right as that is such a random car to fake. do i think we will see every car? Nope, Do I think we will see some car's on that list , yep we already saw 2 in this drop. I'm laughing even harder that people don't know Watkins glen has been leaked since before Lagna seca as released by VANILA who leaked Laguna Seca - > Daytona ( files in gt sport, empty )- > Trail mountain ( files in gt sport to load a track, empty ) -> Watkins Glen - A existing skybox set exist that can be booted into other tracks ) back in the GT sports days.

Your memory isn't great. Mods and other people didn't bully anyone or tell him he was wrong, they said it wasn't a list of leaked cars coming to GT7 which he claimed, it was a datamined list of cars, some of which could come to GT7. There is a difference.

So finally, no, you didn’t even understand what you were talking about but it didn’t stop you spouting off across multiple posts anyway... That’s just so...American.

Mind if I have a go?

I don’t use lobbies so I don’t really care if they’re crap and other people are upset because LOL, it just cracks me up.

I don’t care about online and all the people getting frustrated about penalties and lagging and whatever, because I don’t use it and, LOL, it just cracks me up.

Am I doing this right?...

Sounds like you have more problems than just selling cars.

There it is

Swagtastic!

Watkins Glen???

Getting my home track (about an hour from me) in this game is pretty cool!

I wish they had Oulton Park, that's about 10 mins down the road from me. It's always cool to race on a local track in a game.

The Curbs remind me of Battenberg Cake.

IMSA is listed in the credits. Maybe we're getting some of their cars? (But their cars are literally just Le Mans cars so probably not)

 

[Nigrick]

Very happy with the new track addition. But I think at this point we can abandon any hope for Pikes Peak. Maybe in GT8.

PDLogic™ never fails.

 

[R3V]

I think we need a separate track wish list where we name a track per post, and people like/react to the ones they want to see. @Scaff

Anyway if GT can add these tracks I'd forgive them for the microtransactions

In order (somewhat):

Midfield Raceway
Ascari Race Resort
Utah Motorsport Campus
Hockenheim
Brno
Kyalami
Watkins Glen
Bahrain International Circuit
El Capitan
Macau
Sugo
Canadian Tyre
Imola
Phillip Island
Mugello
Indianapolis
Monaco
Grand Valley speedway
Autumn Ring
Cape Ring

1 down 20 to go. I guess I'm going back on the wheel for the first time since before 1.13.

 

[Hasnain282]

It's unlike PD to not have a Maintenance Notice before an update

Don't remember driving Watkins Glen before so look forward to it

 

[O_CV]

One more track. Great. One sugestion for the next : AIA Algarve International track in Portugal.

 

[R3V]

Don't remember driving Watkins Glen before so look forward to it

It's Spa but American. Discount Eau Rouge and a better version of Les Combes, followed by a better version of Bruxelles. Some of the corners that follow aren't so bad either. It's my second favorite American track after Utah.

Maybe the license stipulated the track reproduction only after the real event happened?

Aw man I got excited there reading through some posts fast and thought it was Road Atlanta that was coming. Never really been a fan on Watkins Glen but I'm willing to give it a go on GT7. On the other hand I would drive thousands of miles on Road Atlanta and would be easily in my top 5 tracks.

They have had it since 2017 so quite a few have passed by now

 

[instinct808]

1 track and people forget about all problems that this game have, so funny

 

[05XR8]

I don’t believe people forget. It’s just PD do surprises well.

Road Atlanta is a brilliant circuit!

Straw man fallacy of the week.

 

[CHEN255]

I’m thrilled to have Watkins Glen added, an awesome surprise. Can’t wait to get on and drive it.

 

[NotThePrez]

Can I just mention how much it bugs me that whenever a new track is part of an update, it's always revealed so unceremoniously? Like the cars are always given a small teaser online and they are very much the stars of any update, but both Watkins Glen and the Spa 24 layout are shoved in front of each trailer for a second with (AFAIK) no previous indication of their inclusion.

It's like PD, or at least whoever edits the trailers, are like "Oh, yeah, there's a new track, wooo-LOOK AT THE NEW CARS!"

I fully admit that this is a very minor nitpick, but it feels like something that should get a little more fanfare.

 

[RACECAR]

I do love me some alternate history. Why pay any attention to the truth when you can just replace with your truth?

 

[ynot]

I could care less about any updates until they fix the broken lobbies. I only race online and only do what career stuff I need to unlock the game and grind for credits.

 

[GT3071-r]

Watkins Glen was a fun track in Forza 7, hopefully all the US tracks i've been racing on for years in Forza appear at some point!

I'm not interested in the 3 random cars at all.

Fix Sport mode please!

Absolutely agree! Adding a track is a big deal, why isn’t it announced with a lot more fanfare?

 

[Boltar]

These things could be addressed. Unfortunately, we get no further information until right before the update.

I’m sure there will be more to this update than just the cars. Like every other update since Sport!, we‘ll need to wait for the patch notes to see what else has been included/fixed

The problem is that you take that fact as evidence that the feature is not going to be included in the next update.

So, the update is here. Lets take the time analyze in detail how many of the games main issues are being adressed. I really want to appreciate the work they put in.

Nope. Not for another eight hours or so.

There's still no patch notes. These come after the update.
