GT7 May Update Discussion

[SnakeOfBacon]

@05XR8 Looking at that data, maybe it's the (former ) Australian car industry's time to shine? Could PD muster one Holden, for the first time in 18 years?

Or will Belgium beat us to the punch with the return of the Gillet Vertigo?

 

[05XR8]

Crazy it’s been that long ago.

 

[RACECAR]

Interesting point to note is that of all those, there has only been three times (April 22', September 22 and February 23') where not a single car appeared from the leaked list. Just something intriguing that caught my eye.

VGT Spider and Carrera RS were on datalist no?

True. Not in the OP datamine list, they weren’t there, but were found in the steering data list.

 

[RACECAR]

Nope, neither were there from what I recall.

 

[Stanfandango]

I’ll be happy if they just stop listing European Fords under US.

 

[pbchillin]

I really wish we'd get an updated Ferrari GT3 car.

The one we have in game is from 2013, and was 4 years old when GT Sport came out.

 

[05XR8]

Well, only judging by the updates, a newer than ‘13 Ferrari GT3, is probably more likely than a newer Aston Martin GT3 or McLaren GT3.

There is Vantage '18 in the list so i assume the GT3 variant wouldnt be that far , also Aston Martin's GT3 is the oldest in GT7

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

I think the Z4 is the oldest, followed by the SLS, then the Vantage.

 

[RobertHammer]

i meant as a active GT3 that has no newer replacement atm - BMW got M6 and SLS got the latest AMG GT

I thought you were you going by homologation.

Edit: The 458 would still be viable then? It's pass doesn't expire till December of 2024

You’d figure it being one of the original legacy brands of the game, it’d be well represented. A “new” livery on an old chassis doesn’t cut it. PD even added an old GT1 racer instead of the new GT3.

Same goes for the Gr.4/GT4.

 

[BrunusCL82]

I'm of the impression that with DTM's former owners gone (The ones that likely made that arrangement in the first place), that agreement likely doesn't exist anymore. Might be incorrect on that but I feel as if something like that would be effectively voided with the original owners effectively vanishing.

I don't know how the current German/European Union Private Law stands, but as a rule, as we are under the aegis of Roman Law, the obligation is linked to the judicial person, in this case, to the DTM League, regardless of who owns it old or current.

Maybe, thinking optimistically, PD has the rights to the cars from the 2019 season, as RaceRoom doesn't have the cars from that specific season (correct me if I'm wrong).

[IngWeltschmer]

I don't know why, but I feel the Bugatti Type 35 will come this month. Or maybe the 512 S from the concours d'Elegance (which will go for crazy prices, though)

Bring back the Monaro!

Given we have bodykits now, they could sneak in the HSV visual bits are well, that'd be amazing.

Really any Aussie stuff would be nice, a same era Falcon and Commodore would lead to some great V8SC grids

 

[Galvston]

Someone said TS020 feelings. It's justa guess but please

 

[juanffy18]

Someone said TS020 feelings. It's justa guess but please

where what wow...man this is just dream right now

 

[Raf997]

My predictions:

1) 5 cars, as always
2) a new track or layout, most likely the latter one
3) Ability to buy engine swaps
4) some lobby improvements
5) physics and interface changes

 

[jonoholland29]

Le Mans could do with an update seeing as Fuji did. They’re still using the 2016 environment - even though the layout is unchanged.

They could throw in the Bugatti circuit too

 

[meekrab]

I really wish we'd get an updated Ferrari GT3 car.

The one we have in game is from 2013, and was 4 years old when GT Sport came out.

The 458 GT3 is so old the model that replaced it has gotten an EVO kit and already been retired. GT3 cars are on average about 2 seconds a lap faster around Spa than the last time a 458 GT3 raced.

 

[rmac923]

Someone said TS020 feelings. It's justa guess but please

I know PD never do theme packs (at least for GT7), but how awesome would a June Le Mans Pack be:

Toyota TS020
Toyota Minolta 88C-V
Porsche 911 GT1-98
Nissan R390 GT1
Peugeot 905 Evo 1B

Plus a revamped Le Mans (which it desperately needs) including the Bugatti Circuit.

Why people ask for a bike track to be added to GT7 I wonder why is is not going to happen....

Just because MotoGP and the Moto24h currently use it does not make it a "bike track" in the same way Brands Indy isn't a bike track - although originally it was. Its hosted many F3000 races and DTM races, plus a Formula One race in the 1960s

 

[bduddy]

Bugatti is not a great circuit, but most of the work is already done. It'd be the standard car of circuits, basically. I'd still take it over nothing!

There are shorter/club layouts for other circuits, I'm just applying that logic to Le Mans. If the track needs to be revamped anyway, it may as well be added.

 

[jonoholland29]

Spa obviously needs a revamp too, but those changes (Eau Rouge and Speakers) are less than a year old

 

[Techlet]

Which would be fitting. The current Le Mans track is also a "standard car" of circuits.
