Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

Stupid question maybe: If I want to do a 3 hour race at LeMans with a whole 24 hour cycle, what should I set the time advance to?

8x should do it. 3 x 8 is 24. That’s usually how I calculate it.

Makes sense. 😄 Like I said, stupid question.

Saved the best for last, eh?

Did I stroke out in the last couple of hours or is this a new Seasonal Menu?

Divide the cycle you want by the total time you will be driving. So, for a Le Mans 24h cycle compressed into 3h: 24 / 3 = 8. You need to set the event at x8 in order to get the full day/night cycle.

Yup, red dot on the Cafe and all. So they're 2 for 2 highlighting new cars so far?

Hmm 17 days left puts it the weekend after a possible Update.

And apparently introducing and ending them entirely at random and without notification... :|

Would it also be a first for Weekly Challenge cars in a Menu Book?

 

[ScottPuss20]

I drove the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series on Yas Marina last night and it's still one of the best cars in the game. It may not be the best sounding but the way it handles makes for an all-round thrilling experience that very few cars can match.

What?

 

[Fezzik]

The 2nd GTWS live event of 2026 will be in Milan in May, and the Grand Finals will be in Tokyo in December. 3rd live location is yet to be revealed, I think Kaz has said they have tried to do one in Brazil so that's a possibility.

What?

The Weekly Challenge before the switch used the 296 road car, F3500B and Polestar. The same cars in the Seasonal Menu. Is that the first time we’ve seen a collection of Weekly Challenge cars in a Menu?

For the manufacturers cup qualifiers here are the details

Round 1: road Atlanta (22 lap) (RS+RM)
Round 2: Dragon trail Garden (20 lap) (No mandatory tire so maybe rain)
Round 3: Deep forest (20 lap) (RM 1 stop)
Round 4: N24 (5 lap) (RS+RM)
Round 5: Spa (20 lap) (Probably similar than the last two race at Spa)
Round 6: Watkin Glen (17 lap) (RM+ RH)

All the race will be in Gr3 and from what I can tell the mid engine cars like the defending champion Porsche,will probably be better in the round 1,2,6 and more aggressive car such as the M6, the AMG, Viper, GTR will perform better in round 3,5. Round 4 at the ring is anyone game but from what I can tell so far the 296 and the Supra feel quick.

Edit: according to the gt website only your 5 best scoring round will count.

Oh, okay, I thought that there was a bonus menu book randomly released today that included some special events. Thanks

Back when winning a Gran Turismo competition actually meant something.

Team RJN

On this day in 2014, we were on our way to winning 24H Dubai - with a double podium! 🏆🏆 Then known as Nissan GT Academy Team RJN, we entered two Nissan 370Z Nismos into the twice-around-the-clock...

interesting

 

[RobertHammer]

This was my first time riding the Honda eMS SIM-02! Being able to play Gran Turismo in a GT500 car was a completely different experience, and it really threw off my expectations

Hmm is that car is already in the game ? 🤔

 

[SSQES]

In this video, we can see the car used is the NSX Concept GT '16 (with a new HRC Livery?)

 

[Stephan]

Close if not the same livery (with some differences on the decals) used for the Honda eMS 2025 where players got one by doing the online qualifying time trial.

He is physically in a GT500 car with the game display built in. Not that he's driving a GT500 car in the game.

I think it is very unlikely that Brazil is the third location. On the website they said that qualified players from the America region will attend the first round in Abu Dabi. I feel like the third event will probably be in Europe or Asia and not the America.

 

[Gingerale]

When will the rewards be sent for the watching campaign? If I recall correctly we should get the f3500b and another car right

Why do you think song and pd signed for Pikes Peak exclusivity and still no track to the game?

Because it's 12.5 miles of the most challenging hill climb in the world? And they probably want to accurately portray the elevation effect on ICE vehicles.
