The circuits weren't accurate, Eiger was indeed leftover code as the new version has a new ID and is a separate entry.

Maybe saying to ignore it was too strong but rather don't treat it as gospel, there's still a ton of unknown IDs that even I don't know the names of that won't have been in the datamined list.

Can we know how much layouts new Eiger has?
 
News article out, but no further details it seems. Bit odd.

Looks like the new Eiger Nordwand's pit is where the tunnel was, and that only the pit runs through the tunnel?

Not something I have the info on, so I can only judge based on tracks already in the game and will say: doubtful :lol:

Fair enough 😂😂 we had rain in gt5 btw…we will see…still insane how dynamic weather and full day/night cicle is almost absent in a racing game in 2024

I think that it's there - it looks like the drone at the start flies through it, and there's dashed lines at the end:

I suspect it'll start to the outside of the final right and run up the hill. Can't say if the main track runs through the tunnel or not.

The tunnel is filled with people and what looks like the outlines of pit equipment, so it's a safe bet it's the pitlane.. or they're adding vehicular manslaughter to GT7. Either or?

It looks like the little bump just after the "old start" has gone.
Was funny.

Yeah, having a pitlane in a tunnel is a fun design choice and I guess it helps with the game's current pit system where cars disappear into a void when they enter the pits. We also see the new Genesis at the other end of the pitlane by the (now) final turn. Looks a lot more sensical than the old one for sure.
 
For the wheel additions if may just be Pokal being a new wheel brand+partner.

I hope the other brands got expanded as well but with the trailer only showing Pokal I won’t expect anything more.

Not "leaks" so to speak, just a video from SIGGRAPH 2023 with a bit of a sneak-peak at modelling. Eiger Nordwand is the main focus, along with a quick look at capturing 360 video at Spa, the 3D model of Laguna Seca, and a small tunnel of some sort.

Kaz's presentation starts at 31:40, modelling video at 39:28. The only cryptic evidence that's had Tahiti fans like myself excited (and it doesn't confirm Tahiti at all) is at 40:12 where we see a bit of jungle, and then some banana leaves, pineapples etc being prepped for photogrammetry.

So... After we saw Eiger, and now is going to be added to the game officialy...

About those banana leaves.... It seems PD could be working on Thaiti ore something similar :D :D
 
Thoughts on the update so far.

Pros:
- I like the cars, even the VGT.
- Return of Eiger Nordwand, one of my favorite tracks introduced in the PS3 GTs.
- New wheels, yay!
- More tracks the sophy A.I. can race at.

Cons:
- Eiger is only coming with the road course and the dirt layouts aren't coming. Also, we can't race through the tunnel. :(
 
Must admit I wasn't expecting the community to react as positively as it has done for Eiger Nordwand, since it's essentially a tarmac rally stage.
Was expecting more of the "We only want real circuits that are FIA Grade 1 or 2" reaction.

Happy to be proven wrong on that for the most part. :D
 
Honestly, I would feel dissapointed if they only add one Eiger layout. I mean god knows how much time we've been waiting for a new track and if it ends up being only the short Eiger course it will not justify the long awaiting period that we have experienced...
 
Definitely a lot of GT5 Prologue going on here. Love to see some of the gaps being filled, the Scuderia has been on my list for a while and the Gallardo so between those and the M3, it'll make some model ranges look fuller. The VGT obviously you can take or leave, the Impreza is fun to see, and the RUF is a wildcard but glad to see they're not left out over Porsche, so some hope of the Yellowbird remains.

Eiger was never my favourite track because of the jump and the hairpins but it looks to have had some layout changes, and plus the physics will have changed by now so will give it another chance. Guessing leader boards will now be reset on account of those changes. I'd love some new racing hard tyres that don't suck.

Well, it's been on the wishlist for a lot of people wasn't it? I do want it the most tbh because I love it since GT5.

Many battles in PP lobbies were fought on these roads, everyone worth their salt knows this track was heat for racing.
