So i did one of the 1 hour race missions yesterday and when the race ended i got 0 money... All the previous ones gave me 1.2mil! Anyone had this happened to them?

I think you only get money once per mission race

It’s been to long since I did them so I don’t really remember, but did you maybe not meet the mandatory conditions?

No everything was fine, i finished first and surprised to see 0 money! I haven't done this race before! Only think i can think of is a slight connection loss that happened (cause Spotify stopped for a bit) but it got back up again! This shouldn't have happened though! I had disconnects before on other races but never lost money!

It's quite possible we get the Garaiya and the AsparaDrink RX-7 down the line. Newer GT300 cars would be a toss-up, but would make great additions (way more interesting than the usual GT3s, in my opinion).

The Autobacs Garaiya GT300 and RE Amemiya RX-7 GT300 would be in Gr. 4 as they are much older GT300's with specifications that don't compete with real-world GT3's.

Which mission was it?
 
Honda put a GT7 sim into a (real?) NC1 NSX GT500 race car cockpit and exhibited it at Oosaka Auto Messe 2026. Pretty darn cool! The entire windshield, inside and out, is a screen!

​


Commentator Pierre Kitagawa has a go in the sim at 23:00 in the video, and Igor Fraga flexes both his blistering speed and astounding Japanese fluency (13:21).

How come on gt7 the gr3s are so castrised when the bop is applied? I can't explain it, before they had a realistic weight and power ratio now not anymore

Because Insert Generic Sport Mode Streamer Here will throw a hissy-fit if he ever spins the car due to his own lack of throttle control, so those cars each have to be neutered far beyond a sensible point.

Yes, they are most likely going to be Gr.4.

Though it is also possible they could be Gr.3 and BoP'd to compete. Similar to how the old Impreza Rally Car we got with the Eiger update wouldn't be able to compete with other Gr.B cars, but with the BoP it can (somewhat).

The bop is cross and delights

You mean the BoP that limits it to its stock performance? Each of the '90s rally cars are only BoP'ed to compete against each other.

My bad then. Could've sworn that the Impreza had a generous BoP when it came out.

Edit: Just checked, and the Impreza had 480 BHP with BoP when it came out. They then removed the BoP "buff" the Impreza and the Celica had in update 1.55.

Remember back when in some cases BoP could make cars have more than their stock power? Think the non-hybrid Audi R18 is a great example of why that was a good thing, having 106% of its stock power back on GT Sport.
Now BoP can't seem to do that anymore, and it's stuck at 532BHP with no hybrid boost to make up for it.
Fixable with a turbo upgrade, but you can't have those when BoP is on.

A more general complaint is how the non-hybrid LMP1's aren't given enough power to compensate against the hybrid cars. Even on GT Sport I had to give them more than the standard BoP did in a custom league I ran at the time, but it's got worse for non-hybrids with GT7's BoP.

GT Sport BoP:
Audi R18 HY: 527BHP
Audi R18 Non-Hybrid: 586BHP
Peugeot 908 HDi: 637BHP
Porsche 919 HY: 501BHP
Toyota TS050 HY: 507BHP
GT7 BoP:
Audi R18 HY: 507BHP (-20)
Audi R18 Non-Hybrid: 532BHP (-54)
Peugeot 908 HDi: 560BHP (-77)
Porsche 919 HY: 500BHP (-1)
Toyota TS050 HY: 493BHP (-14)

I get the feeling that the Peugeot 908 is being held back specifically because its main rival is stuck at its low stock power, making both of them uncompetitive on Low & Mid-Speed circuits compared to the hybrids.

Isn’t this more a consequence of GT7 being mainly focused on making sure newer cars are the meta, as opposed to GT Sport where they were more happy for, say, the McLaren F1 to be the Gr.3 main.

On one hand I get why PD does this, they want to please the brands they work with and sweeten the pot for adding new cars, but on a fundamental gameplay level, it leads to the older cars basically being dead weight, and at this point why are they even in the grouped race car classes to begin with other than for the illusion of choice?

If I were PD, my priority with BOP would actually be, you know, Balancing Performance? But at this point, it makes me fear for the day they add the datamined old GT300 cars, of which will generate buzz for like month, before being shelved in the dark corner of unviable GR.3/GR.4 cars, whatever class they fall into.

At this point, if PD are not going to bother properly balancing the classes, they might as well split them up into subcategories. But that would require the effort of adding 10-15 new race cars to fill in the gaps in the new sub-classes, and PD's production pipeline of roughly 9 months to make a car makes that unviable until at the earliest the next game, unless they want to abandon the road car side almost entirely (which would be even more controversial than the current car roster discourse.)

So GT Sport 2

Today we had big rumors that ps6 could be out in 2028 and probably just in 2029.

We can assume that at this point Gt8 would be a ps5 exclusive(at least at the beginning) and released maybe before than we thought?
Click to expand...
I can see GT8 starting off life on the PS5 before it gets released on the PS6, especially since people won't be in the rush to get a PS6.
 
I think GT8 might still be 2-3 years from now. There haven't been any signs of Polyphony slowing down with updates recently, nor has Kaz started talking about the next game.

But if anything, this means GT7 could end its lifespan with around 600+ cars and 43 track environments, and GT8 could launch with around 700 cars and 47-50 track environments.

Maybe 28 at the median and 29 at the very latest, but they do need to rescan some tracks in game like Bathurst since it hasn't gotten a update in quite some time. I know there's a lot more tracks, but Bathurst is the only true outdated track I can think of at the moment.




As far as car models go, they're fine. Would love to see PD add more economy cars and ultra rare hypercars (AMG ONE for example) in GT8.
 
Well, as everyone else here, i don't know anything about the release of GT8 (and am tired of reading theories, especialy about anniversaries, but that's just me).

What i know is, the outrage if some houses on the side of the road, that you never realy see won't get updated again. :lol:

Actually almost 3 years ago kaz said during the classic interview at gt live event that they are fully working on the next GT but that he cannot say anything else yet.

I've never been convinced that quote was talking about GT8.

The interview it was contained in was all about Spec II, and he was very vague about what it was they were working on (I'm struggling to find the interview, but my memory is that it was just "the next one"). For all we know he could have been referring to My First GT or the concept for the Power Pack.
