2. If you need help from the community to verify something, don't be afraid to ask.
3. It is strongly advised that you be as specific and detailed as possible with the information including a brief description of the bug or improvement before it was fixed/changed (if applicable) and how. If English is not your first language that's ok, just do it to the best of your ability.

Can definitely use more tire compounds on WTC 700 Le Mans now.
Check your vehicle settings.
Since they had to fix the PP system everyones setting sheets got reset.
So you can now use even softs because using softs puts you under the 700pp rating.

4.7GB... really, like really? 🤦‍♂️

I fear how big it's gonna be when an actual decent, meaty update arrives.
It was about 2.6GiB on my end

Sector 5 of the Le Mans Circuit experience now ends at the start/finish line. The demonstration has been adjusted.

Edit: always has been. I need a memory upgrade.

The difference between the PS4 (4.7 GB) and PS5 (2.6 GB). If memory serves, the previous couple updates were larger on the PS5.

With the 1.13 update, the PS4 digital version now weighs in at 118.1 GB and the PS5 disc version weighs in at 108.9 GB. I don't know about the PS5 digital version (or the PS4 disc version).

I have the digital version on PS5.
System shows storage used by GT7 is 108.9GiB

Freaking finally! I hope it's for all the tracks, I was sick of looking at the pit crew wondering when my car will arrive. Are AI cars visible in the pitlane too?
Only for Spa 24h so far.

The amount of TOD choices for the existing Spa circuit has been reduced from 6 options to only 4 options (see screenshot below).

FYI: The new 24h layout has all possible 11 TOD options but sadly it does not support dynamic weather like for example 24h Nurburgring or 24h Le Mans have.

So no 24hrs rain then?

Incorrect. Just tried setting up custom race with custom weather, and in the weather slots you can indeed choose rainy weather.
