That is a road trip and track day effects company. Gran Turismo as a term existed long before the game series, so not everything is an indication of might come to the game.

I would love a Koenigsegg though!

I just realized it's an old car. Probably around Gran Turismo 5 era.
 
How has it not occurred to anyone at PD that having events at Circuit de la Sarthe that use Group 1 cars would be a great idea?

Or how about a set of events in exclusively Group C cars on the old layout, or Group 3 for that GT3LM vibe, with their most modern LMP machines being the flagship event there.

I'm talking about some properly distanced races, which gives you the time to settle into a stint, not forced to banzai your way to the front against hideously rubber banded AI.

Events which take advantage of the day/night and weather (I appreciate that the 700pp does the weather bit.)

It can't just be a licensing thing of, only LeMans Ultimate can have top flight prototypes racing there...you have the cars, you have the track...how has this not been an immediate lightbulb moment for the team there.

I know they said ten 'championships' that can be run in about an hour is enough for a GT game...but what if we had a championship that ran across a bunch of different circuits, in some of the fastest cars in the game...

I'm sure Kaz and the team would have me committed for coming out with something so radical...

I believe Eiger was in one of the old datamines, yes.

Along with Tokyo R246, but that might have been scrapped 'cause of Kaz saying city tracks taking too long to make.

Cool, thanks for confirming.

I'll be a bit sad if it turns out we had the roadmap all along, as it's not a very fun outcome, but getting 8 out of 9 new-to-GT7 tracks correct (giving credit for Lake Louise as the snow test) seems a track record worth paying attention to at this point.

If they just scanned the track recently I don't know why anyone would expect it in the game for at least 6 months, probably longer.

Was it recently? I think those rumors where in March and it was like PD already done that. I think november update is realistic.
 
I would hope the next circuit will be more like traditional tarmac racing circuit. The last three added, including eigar nordwand, all feel like rally stages.
 
Loaded the game yesterday to possibly the most generous set of tickets I've ever had - I got both winners correct and my 6 Star Car, and 6 Star ticket netted me a Super Formula '19 and 2016 Super GT Nismo GTR respectively.

Now to keep as much of the 2 million for the update as possible...

Heard from the people watching the show that it wasn't anything special, by the way. Not to mention I wasn't a fan of itasha to begin with, so I am probably not the target audience for these stuff.

Looks like the All Japan GT Car Championship special event type is coming back.

Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

Ran the last 3 weekly challenges a few times on each account. NA account the first time I ran the WTC800 I picked the McLaren and did OK with P4 but ran it again using the Honda finishing P1 for the 100K ticket. For EMEA, ran the Honda but finished P4 so ran it again with a P3 to get the...

Something I noticed while going through what cars get dirt tyres in this game: There isn't a single BMW that takes them, not even the 1989 M3s that are bases for a rally car. Even Ferrari, known sticklers about car representation, allow a couple of their old cars to do so.

Anyone know if that's true of the older games too (meaning it's likely a BMW licensing thing)?

Dunno, but I remember in the early games BMW seemed pretty stingy. Gran Turismo 2 didn't allow you to even change their wheels. GT3 only had one BMW in it at all, and it was one of the few brands that didn't gain any new models in GT Concept.

While I don't have any empirical evidence to support this, I suspect, the first 2 or 3 GT games were managing to get some of the manufacturers to give permission to use their cars/names for free, or, even paying PD/Sony for the advertisement. The success of Gran Turismo changed that landscape considerably and now (perhaps as early as GT3 and almost certainly by GT4), it's the other way around for all the real world stuff that makes its way into the game.

I mean having a Racing Fuel Tank upgrade for road cars would be nice. Fuel economy is perhaps the biggest weakness with tuning up road cars into race cars, versus actual race cars. That's probably a contributing reason why the All Japan GT Car Championship events have no fuel depletion at all.

That would be fantastic. Would be great if they can expand interior customisation and give us some lightened racing steering wheels if not interior trim removal (I understand that would be very time consuming though and probably not feasible for GT7). Even if it’s maybe 50-150 cars with the steering wheels for GT7, would be really cool to give a more racing car feel.
