Your second car needs to be a tow truck. :)

Man, listen. I was going to put the Raptor in the background with blurry focus but wanted to keep the car far from any help. ;)
Totally tee’d off PD didn’t keep the anguish Avatar from GT Sport. Where was the harm in keeping that one?
 
While it's easy to make reliability jokes, the Renault 4 has also competed in the Dakar Rally in the past, as a special 4WD version.

But I really do refuse to grind, especially with how I plan to spend my credits. I'll only repeat an event in World Circuits if I didn't get gold on my last attempt.

Thing is, I don’t mind doing the same events a few times, but in different cars and/or setups each time, and I wouldn’t really consider that grinding. Like, how else are you going to use all the different cars in the game? But, and I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, the events are way too few in number and needlessly restrictive - so the game got boring pretty quick.
 
Does anyone know what the Other paint option actually changes on the IX Evo?

Also I swear the C1 hasn't always shifted this quickly.. almost impossible to miss a shift

Yeah, plus now that I think of it, I do sometimes repeat events I've already cleared if they're part of the Weekly Challenges. To your point, I do try to use a different car when I do that, like how for the last set, there was a race featuring American cars at Road Atlanta, so I thought I’d try using the Tesla Model 3 since I already used it for the one-make race.

It’s the trim sections. It doesn’t get painted when you paint the body for some reason but you can use decals to change the colour

Another Edit: Happy Second Anniversary, Gran Turismo 7!! 👍

Happy Birthday GT7

Please announce GT8 as I have zero faith that you'll add the things those of us who love GT for the single player aspect are looking for in GT7.

Spec 2.0 was a step in the right direction, but it's been the slimmest of picking since then.

endurance race or more race that simulates endurance race like spa 1 hour. That's what I want right now

Too early to talk about gt8 ( i guess ) and too late for single player anymore.

The " single" player mode it's been replaced from the online mode and that's the way it goes from now on without a comeback.
The tombstone of single player was put from the aspect that you could play ONLY if you have internet access and theres no way to come back even as a Zombie 😂.

Our new mode also includes Hagerty's ,Dior , Bulgari , Armani, Versace and everyone who's willing to be a future sponsor even if it is a type of Frozen yoghurt or moisturising cream.

For me (and I appreciate not everyone is in this position) the need to be always online never bothered me. I'm lucky enough to have reliable broadband.

It more how the single player 'career' was structured. I appreciate what they tried to do with GT Café, especially for those new to the franchise. But it should've been a primer for a full GT League.

There's tons of content which has no bearing on what was initially covered in GT Café. We have all of the licence tests (and now master licenses) which outside of a flex, have no use in the main game.

Even if they brought in all the events and structure that GT Sport's GT League had, that would be better than the random set of one off events we are left with.

Just look at the ten championships we do have, how bare bones they are, and how we still don't have a Group 1 event at LeMans, never mind a championship. We still have a ton of cars with no events to use them in...

I appreciate that a 'full' GT League isn't for everyone, just as not everyone is all about licences or circuit experiences. But a lot of what made GT such a special series for a lot of people is this core career and the curated progression through it.

It would seem that in making GT7 a live service game, they forgot the magic that make a Gran Turismo title.

And because it sold a ton, based on the marketing that 'Gran Turismo Is Back' , they have no incentive to change it up.

This is the biggest thing for me. As nice as it may be to have new cars added to the game i would much rather have more championships or high paying races at every circuit like the big four we currently have. The worst thing is it wouldn’t even be difficult for PD to do
 
I agree with you @Vitesh Patel and mostly witn the last one : they have no incentive to change it up.

Perhaps if we Face another virus era like the recently COVID we had which lock us into our house, they might reconsider it 😂 .
 
I would be all for gt8 reveal already this year, but i dont see that happening, next year through i am pretty sure gt8 will be revealed, my guess is that it will be marketed as full sophy ai integration return of gt league single player, 650-700 cars at launch with a release date of 2027

GT8 won't come out before late 2026 or 2027 with a mid-late 2025 announcement, IMHO. PS6 is coming out in 2028, regardless.
 
In my opinion the earliest is fall 2024. GT8 could be used among other titles for a final push of the hype for PS5 Pro if there is one. Of course, it will be still far from done, like GT7 was at its reveal.
 
May I ask why people constantly are talking about GT8 when GT7 is still being supported? Do you think it will offer an experience far beyond what GT7 does? I personally don’t think so. I believe GT7 provides exactly what PD wants to do these days.

Agreed. This game is far from dead and will be supported with constant updates for another 1-2 years at least. Not dead at all and the high player count and sales clearly shows that. GT8 won't be out earlier than 2026 or most likely 2027 as a late era PS5 game before PS6 come out in 2028

My assumption is a large part of the community have lost faith in GT7 at this point and already hoping GT8 does better.

It’s the kind of assumption that may very well lead to disappointment. GT7 was PD’s opportunity to give people the kind of GT game most players wanted after GT Sport, but they didn’t. I fail to see why GT8 will be much different then.
 
Let's be optimistic!!
Kaz make GT7 great again!!!!
Happy 2nd birthday GT7!!!
:cheers: 🎂🎂
