The new Elantra TCR for GT7 has been announced as coming in the next update.

So, when do we think? January?

The prize cars from the Fukuoka GTWS Finals viewers' campaign are also supposed to arrive with the 'next update' too.

Would they make us wait until Feb or later?

Let's go with January.

  • Elantra TCR
  • BMW 2002 tii
  • Buick GNX
  • GR GT3

Pretty sure it will be a January update too. I personally don’t think it will be a more than 3 car update since we just got a 8 car update. I also feel like if (more like when) we get the GR GT3 we will also get the GR GT. I feel like we might get them more like mid year or something like that.

Stupid theory: there will be a "Chinese New Year" update with the U9 and SU7.

I don’t think it that stupid of theory. It would be a way to reach the Chinese players base…

Not a horrible theory, although with the current dumb nonsense going on between Japan and China they might not want to draw attention to the collaboration.

An unpopular opinion, probably, but I also want the datamine '07 R35 GTR in the hope it's RHD (the '17 is LHD and it feels odd to me driving a Japanese car that's not RHD, especially in Tokyo...) I know the Nismo '17 is RHD, but its stock pp is way too high for my fave race, the Tokyo 12-lapper, and I just don't like nerfing roadcars.

I absolutely agree; I sometimes do not understand the logic PD uses when it comes to which market the car they're scanning comes from. Probably out of convenience, if I had to guess. The Z and Peugeot CUV (USDM model & UK model) are the same way, as examples.

Anyways, I will predict the Elantra TCR plus the two GT3s that PD is showing off but not giving us (M4 GT3 & 992 GT3) for all of 2026 :sly: I hope they all come in one update for the lols :lol:

I'm just hoping for Sophy to be added to more tracks in the custom races, and for some of the past update cars to get support. I'm still waiting for Suzuki Carry races. 😒

Isn't it kind of odd that Sophy can race some tracks in the PP that it is not enabled for otherwise...?

Different Sophy, and tailored cars. The normal one has to be able to deal with everything you can throw at it.

I disagree. It's an intentional omission to give the PP value. I posted a work around for the Power Pack cars and Sophy in the custom race thread which shows that there are many more cars that support Sophy than what PD officially allows. I am certain the same holds true for tracks.

I also don't understand how Sophy 2.0 can drive heavily modified cars out of our garage out of the box for custom races, but always reverts to RH or the default stock tyres as if it couldn't drive on anything else. (I actually think this is more like a bug)

Not a bug. Just the intention. It's easier to test for the test department. It doesn't have to make a whole bunch of sense. Don't assume it's a feature limitation within Sophy. Like many things, it's likely something imposed upon it.

I just posted in the custom race thread on how to use the Power Pack cars and 1.65 update cars with Sophy, even though they are not officially supported. They work fine.

If it's intended that way, it's worse. How can it be intended that the game does not allow you to put all cars on the same tyres?

I don’t think anyone would like this: Maybe have a new type of car like a wagon and others.


I’m still waiting for the Xiomi Xu7 so I’m guessing it might come with the Elantra 2

Sure it’s possible. We’ve got the Volvo wagon. After getting the Citroen DS1, took a while to get another FF sedan(Elantra N). Now we’re getting a first FF sedan race car. A next wagon would be a nice surprise.
 
Hyundai N TCR (confirmed)
Xiaomi SU7 (likely given how long ago it was announced, good way to celebrate Lunar New Year as mentioned in posts above)
Toyota Celica 1600GT (datamine car)

Scapes somewhere in China
 
I'm starting to think I need get this flashing in the background of the pages as a subliminal message, or to skywrite it as a superliminal one.

Wishlists go in the Car & Track Wishlist thread. Single car requests and suggestions go in the Suggestions forum. This thread is neither of those places.

I vote for this
 
Beware, eccentric prediction incoming :

  • Hyundai Elantra N TCR
  • Xiaomi SU7 Ultra
  • Porsche Cayenne (PO536) or Audi RS* Avant (they are everywhere around the track at Yas Marina).
