I'm not sure if it's true that the '01 Vette Z06 "replaced" the '00 model from the previous games.
Z06 debuted in 2000 indeed, but marketed as the 2001 model, just as the other American cars.
I guess they've always been rare cases that the American cars in Gran Turismo use their actual debut year instead of the model year for marketing.
So I'm thinking that the '01 Z06 we've just got is a returner rather than a newcomer.

It's still an oddity though, because the 2000 was the Standard model. The Premium was the 2004.

I can't think of any other car on the modern roster where they had an existing Premium (of the exact same model, not ones that are grade different like the Evo IX) but re-did the car as a different model year.

I'm starting to agree, but also GT8 is surely still a decent ways off?

It won't be this year because even with how Sony are waiting to announce games they'd have done so by now. Quite unlikely to be Feb/Mar 2026 because Sophy doesn't seem like it'll be ready by then. Definitely won't be summer 2026 because Sony (and every other publisher with any sense) is going to get well out of the way of Grand Theft Auto. So we're 16-18 months off minimum still in my opinion.

Oh gt8 might be at least 2 years down the road depending on when PD finally stops the updates for gt7. And it'll also determine on when the ps6 is released. We'll see what time tells and brings in the near future. But Sony and PD are probably distracted by working on other games atm. That's what normally happens.

So in theory I can get upgrade to the Ps5 version on my profile and my nephew who owns the Ps5 can play the Ps5 version on his profile which is the main profile of the Ps5?

I own the disc version of Gt7 ps4 just to be clear.

Yes, if the disc is in the console. If you upgrade the disc version, the disc is effectively the licence to play so it needs to be in the PS5.
 
It'd be a shame if the next game doesn't have some form of open-world mode, because it would make so much sense for the normal and weird everyday cars we keep getting like the Honda CR-V & Suzuki Carry to be NPC traffic.
I mean you can turn the latter into what seems to be a mobile kitchen/food truck!

We also saw a similar idea of traffic cars be used in the latest Honda Civic one-make event, so maybe that's part of the intention behind Polyphony adding them.

The Ferrari 812 and a bunch of cars are all broken for me after this update. All stock out of the dealer. The 812 won't turn. The wheel runs against the guard. This is stock! The corvette c5 is fine. No problem.
 
That's not a good sign, all the cars should be working. That's weird. Maybe you should re-boot your console and try it again. It might be a bug or glitch, I don't know.
 
Just for the people enquiring about the ticket change "trick", my non-credits tickets from 1.58 and 1.59:

6E - ENGINE - Nissan R92CP --> Suzuki VGT Gr.3
4⭐ - PART - Mustang Gr.3 Road Shaft --> SAME
6E - ENGINE - Pagani Huayra --> Porsche 959
4⭐ - CAR - Honda CTR FL5 --> Toyota Tundra
4⭐ - INVITE - Lamborghini --> SAME
6⭐ - CAR - Toyota TS050 --> Chaparral 2X
6C - CAR - Alpine VGT --> Toyota FT-1
6⭐ - CAR - Delorean S2 --> Super Formula SF19 Toyota

So they do, in fact, still change. I didn't have a big selection of non-credit tickets this time, so I can't say if the Parts/Invites are not changing or whether they just didn't this time. Odd that every Car/Engine ticket changed though. Every. One.

Between these "everyday" cars and the swap for the Z432, I think PD should give their shot at developing a console Wangan Midnight game. (There's a growing player frustration with Bamco's Maximum Tune coin-op games as of recent, by the way...)
 
That Escudo swap with a Group 3 engine is really interesting... Nerfing the car to make it less wily but possibly making it into a good choice for WTC 800 etc.

It might have an advantage not necessarily in overall peak power, but perhaps in the torque curve or something.

Looking at the Special Picks in the Used Car Dealership, there's probably going to be a Chevrolet Corvette one-make as the next Special Event in Weekly Challenges.

Oh and in Brand Central & the Café, they make reference quite a bit to the C5-R, the racing version of the new C5 Corvette.
Reminds me of how the BMW V12 LMR is referenced in the BMW-McLaren F1 Longtail dialogue.
Hopefully we'll see both return as actual cars in the game someday.

Once again like with the Civic one-make, some very cool opponent liveries in the Corvette one:

When you open a roulette ticket, as the prize has been revealed and it is not to your liking, disconnect your internet connection and shut the game there and then without accepting the prize.

After you reconnect and restart the game, the ticket should be available as unopened.

Then you let it sit in your inventory until next content update rolls around and you reopen that ticket AFTER the update.

The contents may or may not have changed depending on the original prize.

Don't let the game save itself after opening the ticket, just disconnect and shut it from the PS menu.

I appreciate the time and effort put into those special events, but I can't help but ask myself "why din't they add those special events to the existing ones ? So much work for a one week only event ???"

just shut the game before exiting the roulette screen, no need to fiddle with the internet connection

Yep. Additionally you can open any or all of your tickets, so long as you don't back out of the Gifts screen manually. Hit the PS button, go to the switcher, select GT7, and shut it down.

When you boot the game back up, all the tickets will be back again. They won't change until there's another content update, and then they only may change (though it seems all my car and parts rewards did this time), so it's not worth doing if the next update is after the ticket's expiry; as we tend to find out when an update is up to a week before it happens, I don't keep tickets that will expire before next Thursday.

Gt7 nailed the 812 sound. Really happy to see that. Wish fxxk would get an sound update to. Hopefully fixed for gt8.

Now, if they could only fix the rev issue that a lot of vehicles suffer from (i.e the audio doesn't change when performance parts are added). Most of the Honda's, the Aston's, a lot of the Nissan's, most BMW's, etc... When I add an ECU and a high lift camshaft (raising the rev limit) the engine note should reflect that. The pitch and ferocity of the sound should be..... more. Many of the cars/trucks in the game have this weird issue, where the pitch of the engine note doesn't change from stock. SO, no matter how much you tune it up it sounds relatively the same (i.e BORING). End of rant.

I disagree many cars not all changes how the sound when you either change the exhausts, highlift camshaft and other upgrades etc. Even turbo and supercharger noises changes after upgrading. Its more noticable on some cars through.

But to say the sound dosent change with perfomence upgrades is false. I have went back and fourth and do the camparsions myself and yes their is difference but it depends on the car really. Their no other racing game that goes this much in depth either with those changes. Hopefully the improve it even futher in gt8. Some cars just dosent get that much impact on sound with perfomence upgrades.

This is the first time pd even gone this deep for a gran turismo game with the upgrade system. A huge step up from gt6. And i could see gt8 take even the next step.

Here's a video from the brilliant @lbpomg95 that explains it better than I ever could.
