When it finally arrives to the game:

I felt this way when the Lancer was added earlier this year, i will feel this way when the TS020 gets added next week and i will feel this way when the R390 arrives!

 

[sumbrownkid]

I actually wonder if the GT-One in game was modeled before the subtle changes the car at the last Historic Le Mans had?

 

[Fezzik]

Can't wait for Motegi to drop in GT7. Maybe this will be the right time

Sugo > Motegi

 

[Bendough]

Hats off. Excellent choice of cars. If they add a track, it could be a top 5 update

 

[Korvregn]

Sweet update with three interesting cars!

My money is on a Urus Special Event for the next weeklies.

TS020, you say? Looks like I'm reinstalling for the umpteenth time.

 

[CitroenCX]

Finally, Toyota GT-One!
Gives me GT2 vibes, man if they also add Espace F1 it would be hell of an icing on the cake!
Nice to see R8 V10 coming back, too bad it's not the 2009 model but more of the later model which doesn't look as good and with more aggressive styling. As for Urus, OK addition I guess prior to Covid it was once on celebrity's must-be-seen-driving-on list.
Interested to give it a spin and might not touch it again.

For me, there is a sort of "Holy Quartet" of GT1 era:

• Mercedes CLK GTR or CLK LM;
• McLaren F1 GTR "Longtail" (AKA BMW Motorsport McLaren etc.);
• Porsche 911 GT1 (too bad right now we have only the Strassenversion);
• Toyota TS020 GT-One.

But it can be easily a "Holy Quintet" with the R390 GT1 too.

You cannot have a Gran Turismo GT1 lineup without this bad boy:

Hah, good early April 1st joke. Kaz would never add a modern SUV before adding at least 1 station wagon

The March update last year did give a joke car too with the Alphard, maybe this is how they celebrate April 1 I assume. Remember they release these at the end of the month, so it lines up with April 1.

And R390 GT1 and I could die a happy man 😀

You...keep uninstalling GT7?

I feel like there’s always a controversial car in these updates. Part of the reason why only three cars is underwhelming.

Let's see if the GT-One will bring the promised Endurances...

You'll get a 5 lap chase-the-rabbit race around Autopolis and like it.

Also, the oligarch's plaything will get a 30 minute endurance race around Lago Maggiore.

I completely agree, such a beautiful and so unique race car. Then and now.

 

[vinholee]

If all-new SL 63 will update,that‘s so excellent!

Is it really that much of a joke with an LFA swap tho?

 

[regnar]

One of the better updates, regardless of the cars history at Le Mans, the GT-One, like the Suzuki V6 Escudo is one those most of iconic cars from GT past, surprised that it took this many years to be included back into the game.
I wish there was more of a focus on newer European and American cars, playing Forza lately just makes it stand out how outdated the car list has become.

 

[Terronium-12]

You...keep uninstalling GT7?

There's only so many single player races to go around and I don't care for online racing.

I pop back in every now and again when cars like the Valkyrie or this — the GT-One — drop, hang around for a little bit, inevitably get bored and part ways again.

A story as old as time.

This a thousand times...

 

[Sgueji]

When I saw the TS020 I almost cried, one of my favorite cars of all time from my childhood spent on Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec first and Gran Turismo 4 after, damn it...

This takes me back to the early GT games too,the Espace would be bonkers to add,not so fussed about the GT-One except for the nostalga vibe.Good update all the same,interesting to see what engine swaps we get. 👍

There is an error in the article: The writer mentions two roadgoing examples were created of the GT-One, but this is incorrect. Only 1 road car was created, chassis LM803. The 1998 ACO regulations required one road car version for homologation, so Toyota built LM803 in 1998. The 1999 LM GTP regs didn't require any homologation.

Still hoping to see the Toyota 88cv

Because the car was in GT4? Why not the 89C-V or 90C-V which were faster and actually won races in JSPC?

 

[Chikane_GTR]

Lamborghini Urus - 100% yes. 👍

Toyota -TS020 1000% Yes. 👍

Audi R8 - Wish it was the R8 race car from 2000.

Fun drag race with the Urus.

 

[Nakano219]

I'm guessing this update means no weekly challenges for the coming week, really enjoy those but if the update is worthwhile, I guess it's a worthy forfeit...

Nah, they'll update as normal. Pretty sure the move to Friday was for exactly this reason, to make sure the weekly challenge update time wasn't before the update for some people and after for others (so they couldn't use new content on update weeks).

ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO!

I've been always referring to these three as the Forgotten Holy Trinity. Still feels unreal although kind of expected that we eventually got the GT-One.

Hopefully(in Project Cars 2 there are three liveries for the 1998 & 1999 models), PD have provided the #1, #2 and #3 “liveries”.

This Espace, Where i sign?
