[Lucius 5000]

Well, that is another month without a track..

 

[PuffelPizza]

K-CUP ON THE NORDSCHLEIFE??? What the hell is Kaz smoking???

 

[Islaygaz]

So my understanding is that all but one Z-Tune was silver - the other being in MNP III!

I wonder if we’ll get both in GT7!!

Looks like my wishes are coming true!!

 

[Hdbd04]

Please don't tell me the N-One is the CVT model.

It's not

 

[Matypanda]

Please don't tell me the N-One is the CVT model.

It is the RS model with a 6-speed manual.

 

[packupthecats]

The N-one is the rs version, fortunately.

And i actually think that the crossovers make sense in GT7. They are a significant part of today's car industry and should be representated.
But i also think that adding them in these updates is a bad call. And it makes their addition seem way more drastic than it is.

The Z-Tune is epic, and i always dreamed of driving it, even if it's in a vidya.

 

[GlamFM]

High Speed Ring gets the Sophy treatment.

PD managed to sneak a little disappointment in there - nice

 

[watto79]

Oh for crying out loud Kaz confirmed that he wants to keep GT7 alive for longer than previous games

You keep claiming this and then avoiding providing a link to back it up.

Care to change that this month or just avoid the question again?

 

[Mathaios_C]

Cmok gt8 cannot be that far. 😭😭😭😭

 

[JTB10000]

They chose the useless Qashqai model unfortunately. I was hoping the 2008 would get some competition

 

[mastretta_mx]

At least the N One is thw RS version, now lets see the body modifications tomorrow🤔

Any Qashqai model was going to be useless and awful🤣😅 worst SUV to drive out there probably

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.61 Confirmed for July 24: Three New Cars, New Races, and GT Sophy Events​

As we’ve been expecting since the pre-update teaser over the weekend, the next Gran Turismo 7 update is on its way this week, and we now have confirmation of most of the contents and the timing...

 

[Lunard]

What? Have you kept up to date with any discourse about FM beyond the launch week 'FM Bad'

I think you're better off served looking at the actual updates which were pretty universally praised.
The Fujimi Kaido remake they added might be one of the best looking closed circuit tracks in the entire racing genre and I'm not even exaggerating.

Yes, I played on Fujimi on this game, it's nice.
And the game in overall isn't that bad.
But, compared to FM7 and FM4, that I played on the past, I still think Turn 10 could make a much better work on this game, even on the day one.

 

[XSquareStickIt]

tfw we go one full year without a new track:

But then I see the R34 is indeed the Z-tune:

Oh for crying out loud Kaz confirmed that he wants to keep GT7 alive for longer than previous games

The game is currently on life support 😂

 

[MatskiMonk]

I tell ya what the showcase really needs now... 25,000 more Brian's Skyline liveries.

 

[PuffelPizza]

The game is currently on life support 😂

It wouldn't be on sale if it was.

 

[Lunard]

Yes!
Sophy on High Speed Ring.

 

[SSfox]

Ok so guess from the years they'll be in brand central. No fomo alleluia

I'm specially interested in the GT-R.

 

[TheEvstar93]

Okay,
the Qashqai: Obviously, I don't care about this one.
the GT-R Z Tune: Yes. Good stuff!
and the N-One: You know what? I approve. This game could do with some more Kei cars anyway.

 

[Old_Setzer]

It's funny that this is the first time we've had Z-Tune in the series.

I like the N-One more and more. I'm looking forward to creating a one-make race with Sophy.

I'm eager for more kei cars like this. When will we get an Alto Works?

 

[kjb]

I love the Midnight purple on the Z tune. Looking forward to N-One as well. I wonder what the engine swaps will be?

 

[GBalao888]

Can't wait to drive the R34 NISMO Z-tune and Honda N-ONE. As for the Nissan B-Komachi... I'll buy it just for the car index and that's that.

 

[BlackHGT]

I look forward to every update. Including this one.
But I'm getting really thirsty for new tracks. These can come as paid SPEC III DLC or be sold individually, I would be there. I would also take a GT8 (preferably with car import function from GT7, all the effort for the 20.000.000 car‘s 🫣)

What do you think there will be tracks for GT7? Or will GT8 (or Sport 2) bring new tracks again?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

You'll be pleased to know that this Friday's events include a N-One One Make Race (N-One Make?)

I guess Polyphony is safe from me rioting, for now...

High Speed Ring gets the Sophy treatment.

Agree on this one. I was really really hoping for Watkins... with Fuji, Kyoto, or Autopolist as a close second.
I don't like to be too negative.. but why don't they give us the most iconic tracks first?

The Gran Turismo 7 July Update: Three New Cars Including the Ultimate R34 GT-R! - Gran Turismo® 7 - gran-turismo.com

The following is a list of contents included with Update 1.61 for Gran Turismo 7, to be implemented ...

www.gran-turismo.com

The ANEST IWATA Racing 2025 livery on Igor Omura Fraga's car in the 2025 Super GT championship will be available when purchasing the Lexus RC F GT3 '17 from Brand Central.

This guy will be 3D scanned and added to the game before any LM Hypercar or Nissan R390..

 

[Famine]

It's worth noting (as I did in the article ) that the Qashqai is the quickest model and will be pretty decent to drive in general terms as standard.

But, and this goes back to a thing I said several GTPodcasts ago, a car is only as good as its integration in the game and it's going to be a virtually untuneable thing. Sure, tyres, brakes, weight reduction, and maybe some amusing body upgrades...

... but the petrol engine is a generator for the battery that powers the motor that drives it. Unless something major changes under the game's hood, power and gearbox mods (and engine swaps) will be unavailable, somewhat against that classic GT ethos of "here's a humdrum road car, make it race".

PD would have been better off with one of the two ICE models (there's a 156hp version), with the six-speed manual (which means FWD, as AWD is only on the CVT-X model) - especially after seeing how the 2008 and CX-30 were received compared to the CR-V...

the most iconic tracks

In the context of GT how is High Speed Ring not one of the most Iconic? It's an OG track!
