Had a thought. Wouldn't it be neat if Eiger Nordwand had a higher average wind speed, since it's on a mountain.
Last time it was in the game we didn't have wind mechanics, and this could be a novel way to showcase them more.
I feel like this could've been something done for Grand Valley too given its new cliffside coastal proximity.
For all I know it might already be like that. Haven't ran any testing.

Finally got some new wheels. If thatā€™s everything they showed, it looks like unfortunately only 5 new wheel designs but at the very least all 5 designs look fire and are different than anything we have.

When I see ā€œnew tiresā€ in the article I got excited for a minute thinking they were gonna allow/unlock all tire brand stickers for all cars finally. But unfortunately, from some stills, it looks like only Michelin branding.

Racing tire stickers, new rims, ALL of the cars are greatly welcomed, the track looks neat but I am more of a fan of city tracks, still, any new track i'll welcome. :cool:
 
Cool to see the Eiger , nice mix of cars but i really wonder what the new physics do

funny that PD actually teased this track in that helicopter video :P

I'd love to have more details about the GT Sophy portion of the update, if we can run longer races with them, or if they can use more of the car roster.

I know I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment, looking at the trailer I think they only showed a three lap race at Lago Maggiore...

No not yet , Sophy update is only for 2 added tracks that can be used on Lago and Nords at least from what we know

Neither was the E36. People should start ignoring the old datamined list because it's horrendously out of date.

The Ruf and the Gallardo were both in the list though. The datamined list will continue to be relevant as an indicator of some of the cars yet to come to the game, as over 2 years worth of updatesā€™ precedent has proven up to this point.

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.

I know and understand you're not gonna tell us what's in the new datamine precisely, but can you tell approximately how many cars left in the recent one? Considering some will be probably kept until GT8 and a few cars not included in datamine will be added though GT7 life, it can help us knowing how many GT7 updates are left

I don't think this works how you think it works.

Stuff gets added to and removed from the game files all the time.

Now that the Murcielago LP 640 and Gallardo LP 560 are back together, I'd really hope to see the older pre-facelift models come some day.

But what worries me in this update would be that tire branding on race tires will likely be on road cars by default, should you choose to fit such tires on them.

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

I can't complain, this is a good update, and I will have fun with Eiger Nordwand (Whoop hoop, another circuit experience)
But I always prefer driving on real circuits anyway :D

A willfully stupid comment, well done.

I'm very much looking forward to tackling Eiger in VR. Having slept on the cars, I'm pleased with the number of them and thrilled by the E36 and Gallardo. I find it hard to be too excited by the rest but perhaps that's just me; the F430 is puzzling, did we really a need another F430?

Excited nonetheless. :)

Assuming the data I have only concerns GT7 and doesnā€™t contain anything thatā€™ll be held back for a future game (which may be a stretch to be fair), we have a good few years left at the current rate of additions

Wow, a few years of updates still? Considering 3 cars per month? Without leftover from past games? That's impressive. Anyway it's safe to say some will not be added in GT7 and some cars will despite not being in database.
Some questions if I may:
-Does the list change very often? Does some cars gets deleted and then re-added later?
-Anything about Endurance races? We're supposed to get some but still nothing (Or maybe they consider Human Comedy Missions as endurance, which would be a shame)

  • Never seen anything removed and re-added, but there are plenty of entries that are numbers without names, so cars might be changed or cut before I ever see what's there
  • Info is only usually added just in time for each next update, so I can't really comment on anything beyond that, but I've seen nothing about endurances
Also bear in mind that "without leftover from past games" isn't necessarily true as we've seen the likes of the 2009 TTS show up recently.

:lol: I took inspiration from James May, and how he got fired from Autocar, so a little below the standards of professional cryptographers.

It's actually the third(ish) time I've done it, although the first was in an April Fool's article so not actually anything of any importance. The second was another hint at an update's contents, some time last October. I've sneaked another couple of initials into previous articles, but not quite a full acrostic.

I'm going to retire it now though; there was an additional point to doing it these last two times but in general I don't like doing the whole teasy, look what I know and you don't thing (per the sentiment of that post).

We get a lot of info which we can't share, through embargo or privileged conversation: I went to a Genesis event at the Nurburgring in June and had steak in the Pistenklause restaurant afterwards with Genesis personnel (I sat next to Luc Donckerwolke and shared his birthday cake!), therein learning about the Gran X Racer and its arrival in a pleasant natter with the expectation of privacy. Naturally that could not be shared directly - it's rude and unethical - and is an example of how, sometimes, we learn stuff we just can't talk about and have to watch people speculate utter arse gravy in complete frustration.

By no means do we always know everything ahead of time (while third-party studios almost always send embargoes releases out, first-party studios are surprisingly resistant to it; I can think of only a couple of occasions for both PD and T10/PG where it's been done), but it should be assumed we do know something most of the time and just... can't say.

Until SIE does embrace the idea of embargoed press releases, you should also assume we know less than @TheAdmiester, because we only get what the people tell us and they're less comprehensive than his methods! :lol:
 
I hope the new physics are improved rally handling.
I also hope there is at least one rally layout on Eiger despite people saying that the demo doesn't show any sign of it.

For future updates I would like more endurance races replicating the real life 24h Le Mans or other well known endurance races.
 
Does anyone know if the new update will affect PP calculation at all?

If it does I have 100+ cars to retune/adjust...
 
It's not been specified in the trailer or the reveal article on their website as far as I know, but I wonder if the new version of the Genesis VGT is in fact going into Gr.1, or whether it will be like the Mercedes VGT "Racing Series" where it's not in a group category at all despite being a racing version.

IMG_4632.jpeg


Genesis were supposedly planning a Gr.1 car going by what they said when they first joined the GT franchise, so it would make sense if the new car is in that category. But I equally don't want to get my hopes up in the event of it being non-categorised.

Genesis Reveals Vision Gran Turismo Concept and GT Championship Racers

Genesis has unveiled a trio of new racing car concepts designed in collaboration with Gran Turismo, destined to take their places in the racing game series in the near future. The Korean marque, part of the Hyundai Motor Group alongside Kia and electric sub-brand Ioniq, unveiled the three cars du

I hope Kaz will return to his habit of posting car silhouettes in the days leading up to a content update. Itā€™s a much more convenient way to anticipate whatā€™s coming next.

Seeing the upcoming content more than two weeks ahead of release seems somewhat counterproductive. It will feel like old news by the time it arrives. Not to say it takes anything away from the actual content, but from a marketing standpoint it is quite odd to deliver the message so early.

This brings me onto my next point. Iā€™m not sure it was a good idea to announce the update contents right before the culmination of a live event. Personally speaking the update information stole all my attention from the e-sports event itself, and whatā€™s the point when the update is still weeks away? :boggled:

I'm thinking the total opposite : Words Series doesn't create much hype to be honest, and if I remember correctly, the participants complained about the general World structure, and some fan disliked it as well. Skipping June to make a "big" update (June + July combined) and telling us about it during the event made some people (including me) looking event live and increase viewers.

But also : Event in Prague in August and Tokyo in September : Will we see the same? Trailer about update during the event and update at the end of month?
