So...

The 20m credit cap for car valuation was first seen in Gran Turismo 5 in 2010. It was intended, sort of, to provide an "absolutely priceless" real-world context to some of the vehicles. The cap has persisted for 16 years now, by far the longest in the entire series, and continues to be the cap even in the Legends Dealer where cars are often adjusted to reflect real-life valuations per Hagerty.

Several 20m credit cars in the game are no longer anywhere near as inexpensive in the real world. An HDK-added McLaren F1 road car sold for $25m, the W196R sold for $55m, one 250 GTO sold at $62m, and Carroll Shelby's own Shelby Daytona - like the one we're currently time-trialling - just sold for $42m including fees.

We know* we've got an update coming this week which at least changes physics (due to the one-week time trial), normally suggesting that it's a more significant update.

Given the above, and the game's 100m (free) credit limit, what odds we'll see a change to the 20m car valuation cap - if not in this update but relatively soon/within GT7's lifetime?

*as much as we can ever
Bit random to bring up, unless you have some inside information that suggests Polyphony intends to change the 20M car price cap?
They will also know such a change would be met with severe backlash, as a lot of people already hate how expensive cars can be. Kaz even had to make an apology statement which covered the topic of car prices near the start of GT7's life, and adjusting event payouts to help a bit.
So I highly doubt they would take that risk.
Welcome to page 1689 though.

Nope. Just was watching the MCW events and saw the sale of the Shelby Daytona we're literally OTTing right now and it reminded me of both how many 20m cars in GT7 are now well over 20m and how PD keeps whapping on about updating the Hagerty prices every three months as if it's a good thing.

When GT5 had a 20m car value cap, it had a 20m credit cap. Same with 6, and Sport (raised to 100m with the LHDLC). GT7's is 100m ("free", unlimited paid).
 
Yes. You have until August 31st to, when it works again, click the two buttons.

Are these prize cars typically able to be sold? I don't want permanent garage filler, but I love free credits.
Does there really need to be a regular and evo suggested I mean all bmw did was change the headlights and brake lights other than that they're the same
It's not like they're splitting the vote. You can thumbs-up both threads.
 
Has there been a Pebble Beach award yet this year from PD? I'm tuning in a bit late.

Pretty cool to see them bring up the 787B. The engine noise in that thing will never not be amazing.
 
Not yet, as the main categories have only just gone through. Special awards up next...

... but Yamauchi wasn't present in the honorary judge lineup... 🤔
Yeah, I went back and had a look for him - nothing doing 😅. Do we just assume this award happens each year now? Wondering if they would ever randomly cease like the SEMA ones did.

Could that be the reason why PD decided to add this in the current Weekly Challenges?

In the latest in our current bizarre streak of things being announced at incredibly weird times...


They don't appear to have actually uploaded the championship itself though, it isn't there in-game and the site doesn't load when you click the link. So no idea as to the schedule or if there are any teasing TBAs there.

The site is loading the link now, haven't checked sport mode in GT7 yet

15 lap of CGV with no pit stop and no mandatory tire. Only hard, inters and wets…🤔
Rain at CGV coming??
 
Yeah me too…
Although the gtws exhibition tread seem to think it is just a sprint and I sadly think they are right…🥲
Oh yeah, it's never going to happen, but still.

At this point I really have no earthly idea why there isn't dynamic time and weather on every track. I don't even know what additional information they'd need to slap the effects onto each and every one.

Probably they want to implement it (and use it as a marketing point) for an hypotetical GT8/GT Sport 2 reveal ??

Maybe this is the big new addition for the update. Rain, rain, everywhere.

Knowing PD, they'd probably think it wasn't accurate enough compared to the set time and conditions that they've recorded. Then again, rain is still a myth in Deep Forrest for some reason.
 
We now have official confirmation that the upcoming update is on its way this Thursday!

Technically that doesn't confirm the time of the update, just maintenance 🤓
Incredibly unlikely it won't coincide with the update though.

Your text is in purple, as if already read, so is your point oof
 
Not only no rain at every track, but SOPHY 3.0 can drive in the rain as SOPHY 2.1 can not.
