I think I was close.

European Sunday Cup 400
Kyoto Driving Park - Yamagiwa

Japanese FF Challenge 450
Autopolis International Racing Course - Short Course

Japanese FR Challenge 450
Autodrome Lago Maggiore - West

World Touring Car 800
Circuit de Sainte-Croix - A

I thought we'd get 5 events. Also why introduce a new classic JGTC car and not put the WTC 800 race in Kyoto Driving Park?

They merged the events for the two Volvos into one event.
 
Only interested in the NSX personally, but very happy for all the Volvo fans out there.

Why are we getting 5 cars btw? For no particular reason?

Maybe a sign we're skipping June?


Anyway. It's a holiday where I live tomorrow, so for the first time in a long while I'll be able to play the update as it drops.

Yay.
 
One of these months I'm not going to be bitterly disappointed with these updates...but it's not this month.

What is the point of all these cars if you're not going to give us a reason to use them. Four events simply isn't good enough. Especially as you won't incentivise players to use them.

Take the new 800pp event around St Croix, it'll be the same event type as we usually get where a Group C car will be much faster, have better fuel and tyre mileage, so there's no point in using the new car...aside from buying it in the first place to complete the Extra Menu Book - which I'm sure everybody loves more than racing the cars in the game...

It's so frustrating to see this month in, month out.

It can only speak to that fact that they are not interested one iota about feedback or any type of critique. PD are just going to do PD things and we have to accept it, because we're fans of the game (or at least what the game used to be)

Rant over, I'll see you next update for the same copy/paste rant, because I want to love this game - they just keep making it so hard to do...

Probably they had the full modeled volvos sitting there due the known licensing issues with Geely group and they release the cars as soon as an agreement was reached
 
Can't wait to see the headlight wipers on the estate function in the rain. Love the little quirks and high details!

I am hoping someone can take a video (and/or timelapse) of VR and looking out of the sunroof. Would be a wild experience in VR to see weather and time change through that.
 
Shame no new track , not that i expected it but those car models look just gorgeous

Welp, the menu book is one I'll be able to do easily. I bought multiple GT500 Supras and Skylines ages ago.

This is nice though.

Nice to see Volvo being added to GT once more, and that Castrol NSX is just... super sweet. Not fussed about a new track, PD might still be cooking something. But, uh, will the new events have decent payouts?

It's a bit annoying to see things like this, PD directly acknowledging that they now have a great set of classic JGTC cars:
1716992099301.jpeg

...and giving us an extra menu rather than any actual events or championship content for them.

But I've personally accepted that we likely won't have any interesting event content any time soon, and that we should simply make our own fun with the custom event tool - just being happy for the great cars we get and not thinking too much about the rest.

Likely not, based on existing events:

European Sunday Cup 400 - 7000 CR
Japanese FF Challenge 450 - 7000 CR
Japanese FR Challenge 450 - 10000 CR (x3), 23000 CR (x1)
World Touring Car 800 - 13 events paying 140,000 to 200,000 CR, 485,000 CR (x1), 1,000,000 CR (x1)

not really, recent event updates have decent payouts.

Which @Fezzik accounted for. The one post-launch Japanese FR Challenge race does pay 23,000 Cr. for the win, and while the first 3 post-1.13 WTC 800 races each pay 200,000 Cr. for the win, the last 3 each pay out only 160,000 Cr. for the win (lower than 3 of the 7 launch-day races). The European Sunday Cup 400 and Japanese FF Challenge events haven't had any post-launch races added.
 
So I'm unsure if I mentioned this previously, but I had this neat approach to trying various cars in events while tuning them as little as possible. Y'see, more recently, when buying a car, I'll just get a ballast, power limiter, and similar sets of tires, and not even a full-customize computer. No widebody in GT Auto, either - if anything, a removal of the front license plate. This not only saves credits otherwise used for tuning, but also lets you drive a car closer to its stock condition, even if it means potentially changing the power/weight to comply with various regulations.

Let's take the Race of Turbo Sports Cars for example. The regulations state that your car can have no more than 700 PP, plus it needs to be turbocharged. You could get the Bugatti Chiron and slightly adjust its power/weight, since it's got 705 PP as-stock on Sports Hards, or for about a tenth of the price, you could get a Ferrari F8 Tributo, which comes on Sports Mediums and thus has 693 PP. What I'd do is get the F8, then buy some Sport Softs, which upon installing should get it above 700 PP. Then I'll likely tinker with the ballast and power limiter until it's even closer to 700 PP.

At any rate, I encourage you to list a regulation that's somewhere within either World Circuits or the Missions, and then I'll see what I can recommend. Even if the PP for an event is only a suggestion, I still think it's fun to try getting the settings just below it.

@Famine did you disagree with someone on something about the update? I found this under the official PD channel 😂

There's a certain type of person who thinks everyone who disagrees with them is a fascist.

I haven't been called racist since the guy who posted 26 car predictions didn't like me pointing that out. Cos that's suuuuper racist.

Just because you can do an event in a car that makes it easy, doesn’t mean you have to.

You wouldn’t take a fully upgraded hyper car to the Sunday Cup, would you?

Sorry, this reminded me of those anti-piracy adverts that we used to get "you wouldn't steal a car would you?"

This is on PD for not building events properly, in an ideal world we'd have a professional difficulty mode where there are more restrictions of cars and classes, against harder AI or even GT Sophy.

The onus shouldn't be on the player to make their own fun with a video game...that's the job of the developer.

you know we will probably see 1-2 year gap of no content before they will give us GT8? I am pretty certain it will be for PS6. It will make more sense to give players new GT as a launch title of new generation than selling GT8 close to PS6...

PS6 is a long time from happening. The new "slim" PS5 just barely came recently.

Another cross gen game.....

Would be nice if we could get one current gen game. That actually takes advantage of ps5.
At least a year or 3 before ps6 ideally
They can do a next gen patch or something for launch.

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.48 Now Available: Volvo Returns, Five New Cars, New Extra Menu, & New Engine Swaps

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet: Gran Turismo 7’s Next Update Set to Arrive May 30, Adds Five New Cars The next game update for Gran Turismo 7 looks set to land on our consoles this coming Thursday, May 30, with series creator Kazunori Yamauchi posting his traditional...

I would like respond to them here instead:
I may be in the minority here, but I am fully satisfied with the state of PS5, 4K GT7
I don't look for any high graphical quality.
In my eyes, this is already the very best and can stay that way for a few more years...
I really don't look for anything above and beyond what we already have here.

Trying to push the limit so fast, I think is almost detrimental...
We are all rushing towards the destination, but we don't get to fully enjoy the journey....

I personally think we all need to slow it down a bit.
What is the rush...??

There are still so much more to be accomplished.

I grew up with Gran Turismo, and at every stage of my life I have other priorities in life too, but I also want to enjoy GT on the side, but I have never been able to fully complete any of the games, and I have to jump to the next iteration and grind grid. Grind all over again.

I know we all have to chase money 🤑💰🤑💰💰🤑

But do we ? Is there a better way out there worthy of exploring?

Let's stop this rat race...

I know it is not up to me, but if it was this would be my suggestion:

PS6 doesn't get released until 2028 at the earliest
GT8 comes at 2029

We get to enjoy GT7 until at least through 2027.
I am ok with it as long as there are new events and track and cars coming regularly.

That should also give time for others to still jump from PS3 / PS4 gen onto the PS5 Slim for the next 3 years, and possibly convert younger Gen from Nintendo to Sony, or disillusioned Xbox owners to join ;)

GT8 can be a cross gen too, I would be perfectly fine with that, like I said above, I really don't see the advantage of jumping to the future gen consoles at this point... Fully satisfied with the PS5.
 
Finally getting a station wagon, and I grew up in a Volvo wagon so this is cool. Also rounding out the JGTC big three. I would have preferred the '99, but I'll take this with open arms. Been missing the NSX. Can't wait to make the Raybrig livery and struggle with that masking job again with the curved silver stripes.

Have to admit, though. That Supra feels a little outdated next to the '99 GTR and '00 NSX.

I'm a sucker for racing stock vehicles!

My personal "wonky" routine is to enter the cars into events they are eligible for, with the intention of eventually trying every car, and then I leave a note of which event and where I placed on a renamed settings sheet.

My planned next step is to either enter winning cars into each event of each series in the game to see if they are victorious at other tracks, or apply a bit of tuning in the case that i couldn't make a car into a stock winner

I know things could be better but in the game’s defence you’re on about taking a prototype le mans car to a GT3 car event and complaining that it’s too easy, and because of that you don’t want to use the new car in an event it’s meant for, because it’d be harder than a car that’s totally OP? And also you want the game’s overall difficulty to be raised? Unless I’m misunderstanding?

Fully agree with you.

That's what I have been wanting to do since the beginning, but with each iteration of the game I had to defer that to next one...
I sadly still not able to do that with GT7 because I am still grinding and collecting cars...

Gotta catch them all, on limited time as a Dad...

Maybe this game should be relabeled as for
7 to 17 and 67 to 77

Anyone between 17 and 67 with a life is too busy to play this.

I think a few wires are crossed here.

The grouping system is all messed up, but I wish that PD would say, okay this 800pp event where all the competitors will be in Group 2 machines - why not make this a Group 2 event only.

Oh we have a new Group 2 car in our latest update, what if we gave the player a use case for this. It just seems half arsed when they don't think about it fully.

Don't want us to use Group C cars in this event, then give us more events with just Group C cars - on top of open class events like these 800p events. There are so many cars which are desperately under-utilised in this game. There's so much potential to make this game amazing, it just seems like they are choosing not to - whether its down to desire or resources, that's for PD to say.

As for the increased difficulty, yeah I'm looking for a greater challenge, but from decent AI - not just chase the rabbit format races. GT Sophy shows promise of what that can be, I just wish it was expanded upon (for those who want that challenge) hence the professional difficulty.
