Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.61 Now Available

i wished that was note rather than qashqai

 

[pabloprp69]

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

I suppose I meant "real tracks" and more popular in racing in general. High speed vs Watkins or Fuji? I guess it all depends on perspective....

 

[wagnerFAM98]

Livery geek post alert!

They did it again! Such perfectionism was put into recreating the 2025 livery for the ANEST IWATA RC F, only to wrap it up with this windshield banner atrocity.

Why does Polyphony insist on not having custom sized banners at least to an extent? This is the perfect definition of tasting their own medicine.

 

[Ryan81]

That Z-Tune is an absolute monsta 😋

 

[juanffy18]

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

Man the game is near to the end, these updates are the real evidence.

 

[Street Racer 77]

Cant wait to put this Bad Boy on the Z-Tune 😍

One could Wish that they give us the proper bodyparts when using the Wide Body.
But probably they will Miss Out in this opportunity

 

[Nakano219]

High Speed Ring is an interesting one for Sophy - turn 2 and the final corner will be interesting to see what the model thinks of the banking there.

The Trashqai is the CVT version, at least I get to relive the feeling of being unemployed in post-bailout Ireland and saving up my dole payments to buy a ferry ticket to the UK to look for a job.

 

[lilcat89]

Now that there is a Nissan CUV to round out the Japanese starter car quartet, what are the odds of no more CUVs?

 

[Famine]

The Trashqai is the CVT version

Nope.

The CVT is only available on the combustion-engined 1.3-litre models, and on the AWD ones at that. This is the e-Power, which is driven by a 190hp front-axle electric motor with a single-speed constant ratio and no gearing to speak of (even reverse is just the motor spinning backwards). It also has a 154hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine but this is a generator for the battery and provides no drive at all - like a range-extender.

-0 especially with the inclusion of the Peugeot 2008

That basically makes it even worse.

Like I said, yes.


Although it does have prospects for an amazing reverse-gear race...

At least the countryman was fun back in GT5 /GT6 on a tune! was surprisingly capable

 

[mastretta_mx]

Yeah and on the list there are only 2 o 3 SUV/CUV using CVT gearboxes or hybrid systems, so they would be far more interesting from a tunning perspective

 

[Rossell2]

If we're going to do a crossover, may as well start with the original. I'll still be driving them all tomorrow anyway.

 

[XSquareStickIt]

High Speed Ring is an interesting one for Sophy - turn 2 and the final corner will be interesting to see what the model thinks of the banking there.

It doesn't look promising. Neither Sophy nor "great driver" seems to be utilising the banking in the screenshot of the final turn.

 

[Lord Protector]

Are there some improvements to Sophy or is it just the HSR addition?

Btw, PD must be working full time on GT8 by now, considering the contents of recent updates.

I'd rather Polyphony would work on GT8. I wouldn't mind.

 

[Aloha62_2]

Well this one is a skip for me, unless it includes a surprising collection of engine swaps.

More time on Duolingo instead this month!

Some of these are real SUVs, which actually would be great on off road tracks. X5 M you could even have fun with on the Nordschleife…

 

[Gerarghini]

James May, you've done it again!

 

[ShonnDaylee]

As far as I understand it, there are little improvements to Sophy with every update. Some updates provide more improvements than others. We'll have to wait and see what we get tomorrow.

 

[JDMKING13]

We are doing Nissan festival this weekend at Fuji for league play.. I am so Hyped we are getting the GT-R Z tune can’t wait to drive it in VR!

 

[CodeRedR51]

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?

Fuji please.

 

[RACECAR]

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

Can't wait to relive this nightmare:

I’ve always wanted to drive a Cherokee SRT as they are quite rare in the UK

 

[Theufcveteran]

It's funny how your perspective changes on the SUVs when someone close to you owns one. I never hated the SUVs in the updates but the CVT ones do have limited usability and there probably is a more sporty/track usage car to go in their slot, but my Mum owns essentially this exact model of Qashqai but from 2023. Same appearance and interior design. So when I woke up and saw this, I ran to show her - she's not into Gran Turismo, but she still found it cool to see her car there.

And so do I! I acknowledge there might be other cars which give more fun in the game but I'm not sure I would trade another car for the Qashqai. And maybe that's PD's thinking. I'm sure there are others who feel more receptive towards an SUV/CUV if they or someone they know owns one.

It is important though that they find ways to make use of them well in-game, and also the CVT cars. But I actually am excited for the Qashqai. I'm going to paint it grey like my Mum's and drive it around.

I'm a grown man but stuff like this is really cool. And I totally understand why others would go "A Qashqai? Eh, whatever." It's not gonna be the most dynamic car of all time but I have to say, despite that, seeing my Mum's car in game is going to be really cool.

 

[ruestchiva]

It's not about the cars, its about the usability of what is being added. No tracks, no championships, no meaningful content. Just a miserable 3 event addition that is only to stat-pad current active users. What a ****ing **** mentality. I hate how they are trying to push for a "live service" solution....
