I dig Apricot Hill, due to it being in my favourite event in GT history: Tuning Car Grand Prix.

As much as I keep guessing, just can’t call the next(if there’s a next) circuit. Could be Sugo or Algarve or Silverstone or Tahiti or El Capitan. Anything. Guess we’ll be surprised tomorrow.

If we want to get technical, and I can, because I'm bored and I remember this stuff:
1st (content) update APR:Spa 24h layout, 3 cars
2nd update MAY: no track, 3 cars
3rd update JUN: Watkins Glen, 3 cars
4th update JUL: no track, 3 cars
5th update AUG: TBC, 3 cars

Can I add to this, because the dates where "no track" was included did include something I feel is important to gameplay...
1st (content) update APR: Spa 24h layout, 3 cars
2nd update MAY: 3 cars + menu book events related to 2 of these cars
3rd update JUN: Watkins Glen, 3 cars
4th update JUL: 3 cars + menu book events related to 2 of these cars
5th update AUG: TBC, 3 cars

While we did not receive an additional track/layout on these updates, we did receive what I think is meaningful content in the way of additional events in which we can use these additional cars. Similar events were not included with the updates consisting of a new track/layout.

I (personally) find the lack of relevant events and diversity of championships to be the biggest downfall of the single player mode; it's so far from being anything resembling a career/campaign like the earlier GT releases were. I don't claim to know anything about what's difficult to design into a game, but surely coding additional & more diversified events/championships for vehicles other than WTC600/700/800 sits on the easier side of the scale compared to modelling new cars and tracks while giving everyone something to actually do with the game.

IMO more events with a good payout and custom races giving way more credits would be way better than the ability to sell your cars. Let's be honest, I doubt PD would allow us to receive much more than 30% of the price we paid for our cars. Unless you exploited the hell out of that ticket glitch and have hundreds of cars to sell (and considering PD does let you sell those cars), it won't make a huge difference, only a few more extra credits.

Custom races with good payouts on the other hand would have a bigger impact on the game. We'd have a reason to use pretty much any car on any track we wanted, and we wouldn't be so dependent on those few new menu books added in updates. Earning credits would become way less boring.

I do believe part of the reason people so desperately want to be able to sell cars is to have a cleaner garage. But PD could solve this adding an option to hide cars shown on garage.

I don't have much hope but it would be nice if they made it so the cars from your garage you race against use whatever tires you have equipped to them. The fact that it puts whatever tires the car came with when acquired is mind blowingly dumb, like just completely ridiculous. I want to be able to race against my road car turned race car builds on racing tires and street / trackday builds on sports tires.

You know you lost the argument when over half of those cars are facelifts of cars made in 2014-15 and or crossovers/econocars. And a good chunk of them are inferior to prior years. Who in their right mind wants a 22 focus that's a downgrade from the one we have in-game? If it was 2024 you would be the one guy asking for PD to include the 2024 crappy downgraded hurricane inline 6 chargers over the more powerful HEMI v8's. You just want to criticize PD for picking objectively better vehicles.

Dude, it's really very simple. They're the latest car models available in the real world. There are plenty of people out there who want to drive the latest models that they see on Top Gear, on car websites, that they see on the streets, that they might even have just bought in real. Remember that, in old GT games, where you could conceivably drive a new car you just bought in real life? Now they only way that happens is if your car is slightly old, or really old.


I'm not going to continue this absurd conversation. I guess I can add "I'd like them to add some newer models" to the list of things I never thought would be a controversial comment, but welcome to GT Planet where they'll attack anything if they think you're criticising the game.

As much as we all want this track or that I’m still waiting for non-sport mode lobbies to have stability and bandwidth issues solved.



This side to side movement never happened in GTSport and I honestly think they should be able to solve it. It makes side to side racing very difficult and first laps are filled with fear that a lag issue will end your race. League racing is trickling back with the recent ease of use updates, but this lobby stability and loading in/establishing connection errors need to be fixed.

Oh and another Australian track would be great. Sydney Motorsport Park (Eastern Creek), Phillip Island, Adelaide GP track or Albert Park, Melbourne would be awesome.

I've never seen that before. That is a beautiful track!

Yea we get near zero attention outside of NZ/Aus/Trans-Tasman races unfortunately. This track has stood out to me in recent years, seems to have a good number of interesting aspects that give it character.

Well if ther's any solace, a podcast w/ Matt McEwan did go a bit into detail with it a bit (or as much as could be shared). The key thing is that the people/person that worlks with the online play did say that it is gettting resolved and worked on, albiet kinda slowly. Other things as well anyway, but it seems they at least know it happens.

It’s the Porsche Vision GT VEXX livery which is coming to GT7. So, it seems this is a Porsche x Gran Turismo joint project. With the Dior Mangusta that technically means five cars coming this month.😉

Edit: I think the original posts on social media where deleted because they said ‘in-game now’.

Regarding the porche,i thought it was just a livery?We have the vgt already or is this another one?

It is just a livery for the existing VGT.

For some reason Porsche decided to go to GamesCom (which makes no sense) and got "one of the world's best-known visual artists on social media" to make a livery for the car, because.

The fact there's also a "Porsche Design collection" (of clothing and other items) in collaboration with the artist, and he is also hawking NFTs is, I'm sure, unrelated.

The questions now are how much PD/Sony will be charging for the new liveries, and whether that will involve just in-game credits or real money.

Edit - it will be real money given the code for the Anti Social Social Club livery that was oh-so-briefly available at launch from ASSC.

The designs a little`out there`for me. :lol:
 
I think it will be free but you have to buy the car to get the new livery

unless somebody puts it in the custom liveries

Was the Social Society network livery free or players Had to purchase an item? The Hagerty F1 livery isn’t quite free either.
 
Am I being too optimistic in thinking the Dior Mangusta and the VEXX Porsche VGT will both be given to us for free tomorrow?
