Datamined car list

[Patclash]

The one i am most curious about is the Lancia 037 evo 2 rally car.
Its a legendary rally car so you expect it will be in gr.b.
But all gr.b. cars are 4wd, this one is MR.
Is PD making a non 4wd gr.b.? Are they just making it a race car (non gr.b)
Curious how pd will handle this one (or if the car even comes to gt7)

Same with the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo Rally ; it is also a MR car Gr B

Pretty sure it will be just added to group B

I like the fact that you are all excited about the next update when it has only been said that there will only be cars off the list... this does not automatically mean that the next update will be a great one 😂

no but this adds mystery... plus the notion that @TheAdmiester knows things... so it adds to the anticipation 😁

or if you are like me it's "whatever, not waiting nor hoping for anything, we'll see"

If if was worth to mention and bring up the hype, maybe it's because it may be good?

Ferrari 499P and 296 GT3 incoming

 

[IngWeltschmer]

May be worth mentioning that none of next month's cars are featured in this list, a useful reminder that it isn't always gospel.

Just out of curiosity, do you already also know what are the dedicated events to each of the N (probably 3, but who knows, maybe more given the likely August break) vehicles added?

You're the exact opposite of me, I hate all those cars, and resent having to buy or race them. Maybe it's because I can actually drive in real life, and have real sports cars, but it damn sure it's a lack of creativity.

Wut? I am 45 years old and have driven competitively for years (rallycross/autocross/ local SCCA events, etc...), as well as owned many a sports car (including a short stint owning a rough around the edges Ferrari F355 GTB). So, it's certainly not that. Different strokes for different folks, mate. You need to realize there are a LOT of different schools of thought when it comes to racing. Some of the most fun I've ever had racing IRL was in tiny little FWD cars. It's not about power or downforce. It's about how competitive the field is. THAT's racing. A lot of people really limit their potential enjoyment of this game by only focusing on sports cars/GT3/GT4 cars. Especially the online focused players. If it's not a meta car, a lot of people aren't interested. It boggles my mind. There is so much fun to be had, if you just expand your horizons a bit.

Or just name the cars and don’t aura farm on the info

 

[Rossell2]

Since we don't yet have a July thread, I predict one of those will likely be the Xiaomi based on the change to the Nurburgring banner. Anyhows I'm looking forward to seeing what's happening. Slightly gutted the 500e and Fiat Coupe won't be a choice but hey that's what August is for.

Or… there actually not that many suv on leaked list

Totally agree with your reasoning. And this is why I do not understand GT7's logic. You got incredibly good events like Tsukuba 550 Clubman race which is hectic and extremely competitive (even with regular AI) and if you try to recreate something on custom races its almost impossible. Not even with Sophy. Why does Polyphony create such irregular AI across the game? I play on the hardest possible setting always and it bothers me that AI (even Sophy) lifts up throttle when it shouldn't do it.

He's only said they're not on the list, to affirm it can't be relied on as a guarantee.

Any hype built from that is entirely your own doing.

I haven't had as much trouble creating competitive SOPHY races, as you are experiencing. The best thing to do with SOPHY is put all the vehicles on RH tires (otherwise they tend to default to their stock tire). Even with my 550pp races I've set up (Various sport tires on SOPHY) I've had some great races (boost weak, of course). I haven't run very many 700pp to 900pp races with SOPHY, so I may be missing something, for sure. However, I have heard quite a bit about the rubberbanding still present even with boost set to weak. I just haven't experienced it all that much. Maybe I'm just not THAT good...lol

In this case I do, but most of the time the info for the events is populated a fair bit later than the info for the cars themselves.

Pretty much exactly this, I figured what I posted would be a good reminder that the list isn't the be all end all, especially as it gets closer to running out. Not sure why but it seems to have made a few people think that something groundbreaking is coming which it isn't. If you want to keep your predicitons and speculation in check then I'd say look at the general theme of the March and May updates, since to me it looks like PD have mostly pivoted to "sporty thing, quirky thing, family thing".
(Also had to google what aura farm even means which I think automatically disqualifies my post from being that lol)

Im about to create a July Prediction Thread, too early?

You're not alone. I have never heard of such a thing, and somehow I feel better about myself for it.

I don't look at the leaked list as the be and end all.
There are cars that almost certainly will not come to gt7. The lotus cars or the DeLorean s1 probably will not come. And I have my doubts for buick gnx, arta garaiya or catheram seven (I would love to be wrong about this one).
But the list has been a decent predictor since the beggining and there are still many cars likley to come. The mazdas, the bmw m5, the nissan gtr '07, the subaru impreza sedan '10, the yellow bird or the porsche 911 '93. I see them as very likely come this year or the next.
