So, this surprise new Nurburgring layout.

Does anything run that specific layout in reverse as a time trial in real life? Because to my mind, this is the single most inexplicably random thing PD have ever done, and that's a hard list to top. It's genuinely baffled me.
Apparently from some quick Google-Fu, it’s used for a local rally event around the area.

But I remember it for another reason..


Trying to Platinum the Trackday Specials Chapter on the Bikes. :scared:
 
The palm trees are making me miss Tahiti.

So uh, do these 24H races even exist in the Power Pack?
I just unlocked the Nürburgring Gr.3 one, and it says:
  • 20 minutes qualifying
  • 3 lap race

This is the final event in the Nürburgring progression path.

Of all tracks, I would've thought the Nürburgring was the most likely candidate for a 24H race. Instead it seems to be a 24 minute race like back on GT6, perhaps with accelerated time progression (I haven't tried it yet so don't know).

If there aren't any actual 24H races in this DLC, then there's either been something horrifically lost in translation with what a "24 Hour Race" was referring to (24H-style, not 24H-literal), or this was just false advertisement.

Please let me know if you've managed to find/unlock them yourselves if they do exist somewhere.
Maybe it's some kind of hidden unlock after winning all of the 50 normal events? Idk that's probably too optimistic of me.

I have been enjoying the Power Pack events so far, but I felt this needed to be brought up as soon as I noticed, since some would be buying it for the prospect of a 24H race specifically.

Edit: False alarm. See post below.

They don’t open until you complete all the race in the specific color section.

Thank you so much for proving me wrong! :D

It was just the illusion of being falsely advertised to, by having those icons hidden.
No prob man.. Not trying to prove you wrong at all just showing you it’s there but hidden as you and others have said.
 
Given the Ferrari 296 GT3 has the EVO kit as part of its custom dress-up parts, I think with certain future GT3's, should Polyphony add them (e.g. BMW M4 GT3 or McLaren 720S GT3), the regular versions would suffice, with the EVO kits as part of its customization.

But certain cars (e.g. Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 EVO and Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2) would need separate cars as they are vastly different redesigns.
 
I appreciate new Data Logger feature, in online Time Trials I can compare my lap with any other lap, say P1 and see what we do differently.

I wish they added that feature in Circuit experiences but they did not, sadly. Or even on licenses, would love that too.

Does anyone know if Data Logger can compare laps on Time Trials for circuits ? If two people drive same cars, will they show up if we put them in Collections?

The Data Logger works in CE and Licence tests though? It says so on the update notice, and I noticed it was in the menu during the Yas Marina and CGV CEs.

Not sure how the Data Logger works, but I assume you need two different replays (saved).

Thanks but mabye to clarify that better, I want to compare my lap to someone's else lap in CE or License. That is something I wonder how to do.

as long as they shared their replay I don't see what would prevent you from doing that, but I have not tested so might be wrong.

I tried but I can not make it work, there is no button to press. How about two of us test it, we pick car, track, and so on, share the ghosts(replay) and see if we can make it work. I will drive some lap somewhere and post you what I have done so you can try to see if you can find it and make it compare. Deal ?

I'd like to help you but I am working right now, and tonight I am not home so no more GT7 today for me.
 
Shame GT7 started out like it did. Not enough credits but cars were being thrown at players. Now, credits are being thrown at players. Good stuff for those new to GT7.

I still think its a little bit odd to pay credits to enter the power pack races, but was happy with the 5 mill..
 
Just to add since we’re having the opportunity to gain more credits, it’s like this is finally happening.

From September 2024:
It’s not about it being better, it’s about doing the exact races from the World Tour. We got the Red Bull races from the World Tour. Give players that wouldn’t and have never experienced the normal World Tour events a chance to do the same races without going online. It should have been like that every World Tour since GT Sport to now.
 
Just realised. If counting the special modified versions of existing cars from the Power Pack, this update has added 14 cars total.
That might be a new record, even going back to the GT Sport days. I think there was an update that added 13 cars at one point, but no higher than that.
 
Data Logger, I wonder if it can compare laps on Circuit Experiences, Time Trials (not online two weeks one but circuit lap time trials, and lastly Licence tests, from TWO DIFFERENT PLAYERS laps.
So I have saved my replays for circuit Experiences, time trial and license test and shared them, in hope someone is curious just like me to see and want to find mines, add them to collection and test if they will show up.

Circuit Experience sector 1 Yas Marina

Yas Marina time trial in Espace F1, but not online one, I just bought the Espace, selected it and went on Yas Marina lap

License S-5 with Yaris.

And here are print screens to help anyone who wants to test to find my replays, to find them.

@Lomic and anyone else, if you feel for it, whenever you test it's good time, just post your findings please ( or share your replays and tell me how to find them and I will try to find them and check if they can be compared in Data Logger)
