GT7 June 2026 Update Discussion

[Hdbd04]

Imagine being in my shoes: I started playing Gran Turismo 7 very late, around January 2026. I started the game and found a teaser photo of the WEC cars in the news.

Having played since launch, I was about ready with letting it go after not playing it for almost a month. But just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!

Jumping back to GT7 due to this behemoth Le Mans Hypercars update! 😮🙌

Still need PD to add Porsche's 919 Hybrid EVO! 😀

Let's F... Go!!

I wouldn't complain if the B-Spec came along to simulate an authentic Le Mans race.

I have seen a few people wondering what will happen with the BOP because, has we all know, GR1 is really unbalanced. For that, I only really see two solutions:

- The first one, as stated by a few, will be to create a brand new category, or do a subdivision of the gr1 cars. This would allow each category to have their own BOP, tailored to their car type. (GTP, VGT, Group C, etc). This could be done using the car type feature that we have in game and adding a new car type. The only issue I see with this option is that PD would need to go back to all GR1 cars and “rebrand” each one. Creating new categories would also require the addition of different toggle and/or restriction for lobby races and an update to the single players events… Overall I think this idea is good but would probably ask for a lot of effort to have all of GR1 rework. It still could be an interesting idea for a future game.

- The second option is the one I think would make the most sense. PD could simply readjust the BOP of the GR1 cars to have them competitive inside their own car type (GTP, VGT, Group C, etc..). For example, we could have the Group C cars all BOP to be competitive together but they would be BOP differently then the GTP cars. PD already gives us event in sub category and not the full GR1/GR2 by having specific cars for said event (Group C only races, the TT at CGV in the 2016 super gt cars, etc). This could technically lead to more balance races without having to rework all the groups system.

That being said, I am very happy with this future update and I can’t wait to drive these brand new cars.😁

Woke up at around 2AM this morning for supposedly no reason, checked my phone, and, well...

I just have to say....I've wacthed 10 times all through my workshift.

Now i really want to drive that awesome looking Peugeot!!!

 

[Interstellar9]

Soon we will get 2 of those 3. 😍

 

[PorscheHD]

I like it and its nice but the class is to grippy and fast for me in games. GR2 is most of the time my max to have fun with.

But Awesome new cars for sure 😁

Man, you´re a walking wikipedia all things HY cars. Thanks for all the little insights!

Thanks!!

I’m in the process of becoming a contract Motorsport media hire, primarily to shoot cinematic footage for race team’s marketing and social media pages.




Part of my portfolio building process is to get eyes on my work, and in the journey of figuring out how to do that, I started filming YouTube-formatted content, and have been sitting a backlog of a few documentaries and now around a dozen interviews with mechanics about their jobs. It’s basically a passion project of being an independent racing journalist and educator, but until I get any of it online it remains to be seen if I can be successful at it. 😬

This all started because just over 15 years ago I received a copy of GT5 for my birthday, and shortly thereafter tuned into my first Le Mans 24 hours.

Naturally, the spoils of what I learn and get up to should return to where it all started.

PD must see how well this update is received compared to the crappy ones we had with SUVs. I hope that changes future updates a bit.

nah, PD and Kaz have always had a weird obsession with shoving as much crap into the game as possible. At least we have the used car dealership to sell the crap in

 

[Lightpilgrim]

Imagine they will also add Silverstone

 

[ZZ-II]

I would prefer Motegi

 

[Corins]

I Hope this car and a new track maybe spec 4..

 

[AleksandarSRB]

Updated tracks where we have WEC race would be nice with this update (Le Mans, Spa...) 😀

 

[danimac]

So damn cool. Didn’t see this coming. It’s like a Le Mans car pack. But for free. Truly appreciate this one Kaz and PD. I have wanted that sexy Ferrari for years now. No more Toyota pretending it’s the Ferrari now we got the real thing. 🥹

 

[mastretta_mx]

I would prefer Motegi

This!!

As this was presented as an "update preview" I want to believe than they will share more things to be included in the update (like a new track and/or new events for the power pack), hopefully we can get more info on the SoP just like they did with spec II and the Power Pack announcements!!

The last time a Gran Turismo car reveal trailer gave me shivers was this one :



It's been 84 years....
The soundtrack stayed in my playlist since then.

Still the greatest trailer.

After all these years this is still my most beloved GT trailer ever.

I still think of this trailer and song every time I see a 458 Italia.

 

[Giz WCR-666]

a/some new track/s would be nice... 🤔

 

[RCKakashi14]

Gr.1 still a total mess to BoP.

That's the problem when they just lump in cars into the same class just because they compete in a certain major series throughout the years.

I am still happy though, at least I can finally make an LMH/LMDH custom race grid.

If the GR010 Hybrid is to go by, I expect these new ones to perform worse than the LMP and VGTs. 🤔

 

[SUBZERO-8K]

I don't think I've seen it mentioned here yet, but someone pointed out that the trailer shows Monza at night in one of the shots. Perhaps that will be included in the update (or maybe have the same fate as Deep Forest in the rain).

 

[GBalao888]

Imagine they will also add Silverstone

I've mentioned before that given the endurance racing theme of these Hypercars, perhaps Sebring would be a good addition.

Also to complete the endurance racing trifecta (Daytona, Sebring, Le Mans).

Oh. That would be cool. I hope you are right with this one.

I also keep fingers crossed for Gr1 Cup on LeMans with 1 hour similar to Spa.

 

[tankuroded]

Since this was originally a predictions thread, on that front:

• Finally a Gr.1 Prototype Series race at La Sarthe (and maybe modern prototype Power Pack race too)
• Since it's one genre of cars (other than the Safety Car, which I don't see getting an event), there might be some filler races added to World Circuits too (more Gr.1 Proto Series? Monza seems like a candidate given trailer)
• Existing Safety Cars get same swaps as base cars too. Plus, finally VR6 Gr.3 to Audi TTs and 911 RSR engine to the 911 GT1 '97.

 

[monza17]

Very good update!

 

[05XR8]

This is the one that gets me. Calm and hype as one feeling. Camera work, car detail, speed and PD's eclectic selection of tunes.

I don't think I've seen it mentioned here yet, but someone pointed out that the trailer shows Monza at night in one of the shots. Perhaps that will be included in the update (or maybe have the same fate as Deep Forest in the rain).

Are there any other options in the menus not already available at Monza?

It's just whole idea of Gr.1 is messed up. They can't mix such a different cars like old prototypes, new hypers, and VGT's fanfics. There is at least 4 categories, that GR.1 should separated to.
And with that impressive new content it should be done ASAP.
At least they could separate those cars + GR010 into some idk... GR.1H or GR.LM category. Eventually they can add LMP1's there also.

That's the problem when they just lump in cars into the same class just because they compete in a certain major series throughout the years.

It's even more than a mess considering they totally distorted the real performances of those cars, even in stock configuration, so they could BoP them. Yet it still doesn't work.

I've mentioned before that given the endurance racing theme of these Hypercars, perhaps Sebring would be a good addition.

Also to complete the endurance racing trifecta (Daytona, Sebring, Le Mans).

And it was also the crossroads between WEC and IMSA.
