Edit:

It is heavily based on the Mazda 3 TCR, interesting 🤔

It looks to me like all they did looks wise was put the bigger wing from the TCR on the Super Taikyu car:

Wouldn't be the first time PD's created a LM, Touring car or GR3/4 car by combining various bits from certain cars. Perhaps it has the TCR's performance?

Yes, I’d say it’s more Super Taikyu with the TCR wing.

Nenkai mentioned it seems to be FF.

Thing is, will it be diesel from the S-Tai car, the 2.5T or TCR maximum regulation 2.0L turbo? The Gr.4 Atenza uses the 2.2L, but only sounds like the diesel at start up(in GT Sport). The car also seems to be very frugal. Just guessing PD want it to be unwritten as a diesel race car. Could have easily left the engine displacement as blank.

 

[GT PRO-AM]

As already said, it's time to have a proper Touring Car class... More generally, a reorganization of the Gr. 4 class would be needed to make it more similar to the real GT4 class. The FF cars currently present in Gr. 4 would easily become part of a new Touring Car class, the placement of the 4WD cars would be more problematic. But I doubt any of this will happen, PD will probably leave everything as it is. We'll see if anything changes in GT8.

Still no Porsche 944 turbo 😢

So one mazda and one toyota confirmed for the September update.

Toyota ?

 

[GT PRO-AM]

So one mazda and one toyota confirmed for the September update.

If you're referring to the Corolla GR, that's formally part of the August update. Just because it's being made available to everyone now doesn't make it part of the September update. Same thing regarding the HiMedic obviously.

Yep right. My bad. Hopefully next weekend we have the tweet.

😂 ...because this game doesn't have enough raggedy japanese cars...

 

[hawkeyez]

If we are getting cars I sure do hope we see some older cars yet. Ran the Aston Martin time trial, that was a fun one, also ran the stock ‘73 911 Carrera on the historic 580 Spa, lots of fun.

Come on Nenkai, tells us how many tracks they’re dropping on us haha

 

[AlexWilmot]

Gr.4 Mazda 3 is very cool!

So much for PD going and adding fire trucks and no race cars like the doomers say, but I guess they’ll still complain “not that race car!”

Best not to have a repeat of the Gilles Villeneuve situation.

Expectations only lead to disappointment for the most part.

 

[Nakano219]

I didn't know that story about the TCR car getting scrapped. It's cool that something approaching it gets to shine in a video game.

Also good to have something new in Gr.4; given how much it gets used in Sport Mode they really don't add stuff to it very often.

 

[rmac923]

Presumably; there will be at least 1 new GR. 4 race in this update to race against the Mazda

Looking at the 1.37 update I spied a different list of cars with these ending it 🤔

• 190e_evo2_91
• valkyrie_21
• mc20_22
• ambulance_himedic_21
• gr_corolla_morizo_22
• civic_r_22
• mazda3_gt4m_xx
• charger_rt_426_hemi_68

You sure let the moaning live rent free in your head.

As for September, it's likely that Suzuka will get a visual update as was teased in GTWS (the new track logo if nothing else). I don't recall the last time PD released/updated multiple track locations in a single update so chances could be quite low for a new track.

Maybe we'll finally get Suzuka West? Unless the lack of a pitlane is still going to be an issue even if the vast majority of the singleplayer events in the game has no tire wear or fuel usage.

Surely this could be used?

It has happened, surprisingly, though exactly once - there was an early GT Sport update that added both Monza and the mid-length Maggiore layouts.

You're right though in that I doubt we'd get both the Suzuka refresh and a completely new location in one go.

Why is Polyphony calling GR Corolla and Civic Type R MY2022 when they are MY2023?

 

[hyperspeed980]

Why is Polyphony calling GR Corolla and Civic Type R MY2022 when they are MY2023?

Because it's a BS list. As can be seen by the list's MC20 being a '22 model when it's a '20 in-game.

 

[AlexWilmot]

You sure let the moaning live rent free in your head.

Ahh yes soo rent free…
Nice try to bait there when you contribute to that group

 

[ScottPuss20]

I hope the Mazda 3 Group 4 is built to the TCR regulations.

 

[05XR8]

It’ll be another weird vehicle update right after players choose their Sport Mode Manufacturer.

Speaking of weird vehicles and Sport Mode. I wonder if we'll ever see a Gr.3 Bugatti?

One does not spread BS. That is what's listed in the data, if you have a problem message a Polyphony representative on social media and scold them for their erroneous ways.
