New update?

All I play is Sport mode - I can't see the point in doing any of the other stuff as the credit rewards for them all are about to go up.

Conversely, even after playing for a couple hours straight and finishing top 5 with clean race bonuses I make bugger all credits. If you raced 100% sport mode you would literally HAVE to use microtransactions to get new cars to use.
Yup, if you play Sport you're kinda screwed. Not even getting miles for warmup. If you are trying to make the most of the game via custom races you are screwed. At least one of these is going to get addressed, the other so far is not even mentioned.

Aye. Think it was super gt who said sport mode credit rewards need to be increased ten fold, nevermind doubled.

At first I thought that's wishful thinking but after a week of sport mode only he's right - even if they doubled rewards it'd still be piss all.

This one kills me.

I spent hours on Sport using the weekly races as a means of testing cars. Hundreds of miles. the folks at Gran Turismo tell me they don’t want me to have to drive the same exact races.Yet, if I want to hit my daily mileage humiliation roulette, I can choose between spending an hour+ running three Sport races (let’s say total value for me at best: 50k), or run the truck race twice (9 minutes, 90k). Idiotic
 
Any idea what's going on didnt kaz state the beginning of april is when there'll be an update, desperately waiting for them to fix the economy really tired of doing 10 minute races for only 60 to 70k
Everyone is waiting: Kaz said: we are going to provide a massive update in which we increase 100% rewards of the half of events ( world tracks), but we don't what events he talks. Then they will increase number of events, and increase rewards online (daily races). I hope they do something also in the MISSION mode. Well'see, I dont'have much confidence, but hope I am wrong.
 
Kaz said: we are going to provide a massive update in which we increase 100% rewards of the half of events
Nope. What he actually said was "Increased rewards for the latter half of the World Circuits events by approximately 100% on average".

That means some events may increase by more than that, and some by less (and it's not impossible that some will decrease, so long as others increase by enough to offset it). What you paraphrased it as would be doubling the rewards of half of all races, which is not what he said.
 
Beginning of April is between the 1st and the 10th... Who the hell is going to be saying 14th (almost half of the month) is the beginning?

So until the 10th, we can just wait it out. Yes, it's a painful wait since the bare content is so little, but hopefully it's something surprising (on the positive). But I'm not holding my breath.


And the 100% in rewards
is the average. Like Famine stated, some events might just be increased by 10%, others maybe even decrease by 10% and then others increase by 200 oe 300% which by the lookds of it, the 10 lap pitstop races certainly do need an increase of those amounts.

And the Online Races bare minimum should be increased by 10x... You can only do 3 of those per hour (assuming it's the first or 2nd daily races) and they give you about 20k for a win with Clean Race bonus. That's not even 70k per hour.
That's absolute piss to our faces. That's the equivalent to buying a set of Racing Softs and Racing Mediums. 🤣

And these races are against real life players which is far harder than against the awful GT7 AI. I don't play Online much, but the people who do, and put a lot of effort into them, deserve to get decently compensated for that. Even I would probably do more online races if the payouts were decent.


The lack of "Custom Race" payouts in PD's statement frightens me...

I think this is only right if there is no “middle” of April. My guess would be between 1st - 10th April allowing the “middle” to then exist. :)

I'm not expecting an update this week. Why?
  • CLK-LM in legendary dealership. Fan favorite for over 6 mill is a lot of grinding. That's actually more than the 12mill Jag was with the old payouts. I think they will milk this.
  • Chaparral 2J- see above, people like that car and not everyone will be able to win it from the missions. Even 2.5 mill isn't a small amount these days
  • I think 3 new legendaries dropping today? Even if only one or two are popular, it encourages more MTX milking for at least another week. I bet one of them will be the Pennzoil GTR lol.
So I think PD will milk the popular cars in the dealership this week. I think next week is probably the earliest but maybe they'll push it back. They've been silent and I'm not taking that as a good sign.
I would like to say that I was right lol. No Pennzoil GTR but they did bring out a 20 million whale to milk those MTXs before they release a patch. And I think DB3S a bunch of people wanted as well. So there we go, 2 cars worth 25 mill for one last cash grab
 
In my opinion, the big credits change should be in Sport mode.

Regardless of placement, the prize pool should be high, at least 50,000 for the last place finisher if they finish the race. This would be important to attract people who only play offline.

The clean run bonus should be raised to discourage dirty players. Credits for starting grid position should also be considered.

About the update, it's good to remember that first Kaz launches the taunt and after four days, if I'm not mistaken, the update is carried out.

I believe that tomorrow and until the 10th, the provocation and update should come out.

About the guessing of the content, I believe it will be a circuit only. Maybe Apricot Hill. Maybe a new "GT3 Evo" race car, probably AMG, Aston Martin or Lamborghini, and more vintage street cars.

Or have bigger payouts in Nations cup or Manufacturers races. Getting like 2nd with a clean race bonus in last nights GTR fest paid around 80k, and theres only one per hour as well

I'm surprised if it comes out tonight if there isn't any teases yet

Well it's currently 11am over on their end of the world, so who knows. I'm expecting a little later in the week myself.

They told us about tonight's GTSport update, yesterday. That likely means no gt7 update tonight.
 
I'll buy gt7 in May or June, that should give them enough time to fix this mess, they should have made the same money system as in gt5,gt6 where you got a lump sum of money for doing 10 laps at Trial Mountain or 5 laps at Nurburgring 24th. Guess we'll see what happens next but they're risking losing their fans by messing up the online mode and the money system in campaign mode.
 
  • Addition of high rewards for clearing the Circuit Experience in all Gold/All Bronze results.
    • Cool, this is very welcome
Although not for the ones that have already cleared most/all golds. I can't imagine them paying out the difference post fact.

I don't think the economy of the game will change that much that they need to do a "final cash grab" with these two cars. There are so many more cars to cash grab with later and with these 18-20 mill cars that no one in their right minds will grind out manually (at least to get all of them), any collectionist that gets bored with playing the same thing over and over will finally succumb and go to MTX.
 
Just as an FYI - Trial Mountain Cup is ~7min and pays 100k.
Just trying to help
The one im doing its better time efficient for you bro, try the Panamerican championship do the first race> exit>redo 52k(clean) - ~3min(6laps average 30sec per lap) Tomahawk Roadcar

Add some yellow to your post, and you’ve almost recreated this:

If you're on a PS5, doing the Blue Moon race in the Pan American championship, and exiting out, may be a little quicker, and net you a bit more money. It's less efficient on PS4 though because of the load times.
IMO you might as well do the whole championship rather than exiting. The 2nd and 3rd races pay out less per minute, but the total for the championship at the end brings it up to around the same per minute as just doing the 1st race. Less boring than only doing the first race, but still boring enough that I'm done with it until the game makes it more worth my time to play it.
 
This event is also available at Maggiore and Dragon Trail. Same number of laps and payout.
I enjoy racing these races, including the Trial Mountain Championship.

It's just more fun than this blunt in circles like we drive Blue Moon in the Pan America Championship.

Ahh Pennzoil GTR would be amazing. It's my favorite car, so id be quite thrilled for sure!
In my opinion one of the few cars worth the grind.

However, that is purely a matter of taste.

I think someone at Sony should resign now there should of been a new update by now new tracks and new cars
Hopefully this is satire but in case it's not do be aware that they still have a few days left depending on your interpretation of 'early April'. Not to mention they seem to patch primarily on Thursdays.
