Next GT Sport Update Arrives July 31, Brings Four (Edit: FIVE!) New Cars

The D-Type we're getting is the same one Stirling Moss drove in Le Mans!
The same car failed to sell at an auction last year with an estimate of $12,000,000-$15,000,000. This is a good indicator how much it's going to cost in GTS.

The D-Type and the DB3S should be good competition for each other because they both raced at Le Mans.
Also, more '50s Le Mans competition will show up eventually with some of the Pebble Beach winners. The Maserati A6GCS '53 (2014 winner) and the Cunningham C-4R '52 (2015 winner) both raced at Le Mans also. It'd be fun to eventually recreate some of Le Mans' glory days or have a GT League event dedicated to these cars of this era.

Wow great, you can imagine those and the Porsche 550 on an old recreation of the La Sarthe in GT7 :bowdown:
 
I’m so stoked to see the D-Type show up, being one of my all time favourites. I just hope it handles more authentically compared to the DB3S, which feels a bit too modern in-game, in my opinion. Time to start grinding!

I'm with you there bud. Rann the old Aston without ABS and the slightest brush of the brakes locks them up :banghead:
 
So just to confirm, for those of us on the west coast(PST), we can expect the service to go down *TONIGHT* for maintenance around 9:00PM, and then the update should go live a few hours later?
 
I was expecting to see another car, but I did not think that it would be the Jaguar D-Type. Real shame I can't buy it right now and probably never will, unless I win it. Which is highly unlikely. I could do the Blue Moon Bay race several times over to get it, but I don't know if I should or I shouldn't. I really want to get it because it's such an historic vehicle... Still, there's the 911 930 Turbo.
 
The 930 turbo is a sure thing to buy day one since everyone here can afford it and its useful in events and custom races.

However the D-Type is like the DB3S where its only a caged animal, ferocious and majestic but since you cant use it unless PD deem it eligible for the nostalgia 79 races...
 
They're adding two more races to the Nostalgic 1979 series, so it's a sure thing it'll be eligible. The big question is whether it'll stand a chance against the 330 P4s.

I don´t think so, the technology, the eras from those cars are really different. 330 p4, xj13, MK IV compete in other league.
 
Copy pasted before maintenance. :D

In addition to the cars,

■ Amateur League
Two new rounds added to the "World Hatchback Championship."
■ Professional League
Two new rounds added to the Nostalgic 1979."
■ Endurance League
One new round added to the "X2019 Competition Endurance Series."

The Circuit Experience now gets "Sardegna - Road Track - A."

"Open Spaces - Arrange Your Own Scenes" will be added to the special featured section.

There will be various other features, improvements and repairs implemented in this update. We hope you enjoy the continuing evolution of Gran Turismo Sport.
 
I had to fact check that as well because the PS2 I bought was a GT3 Edition. Sure enough, GT3 came out almost a year after PS2 did. Previous commenter is correct, GT has never even come close to being a launch title, which is kinda crazy.

I don't know how to race, but I know some things:lol::lol::lol::lol:
 
A car I'd wish they'd add in the future now that the D-Type is in the game is the XKSS, otherwise known as the D-Type roadcar. Built off of the remaining D-Type chassis at the Factory back in the 1957, most of them were destroyed in a fire before they could be finished. Jaguar themselves recently completed the remaining XKSSes.
