Thank goodness, another VGT! I thought they had given up on these.
What "predictions"? They're two examples, off the top of my head, of fun Skoda models. Also all generations of all the Skoda RS cars - Fabia, Octavia, Kodiaq, EnyaQ - are badged "vRS" in the UK, due to a thing with Ford (although it's a caron/hacek rather than a "v").By the way, @Famine , those 2 "predictions" were very "oddly specific" even if they can be predicte

Just to feed this weirdness though:
It'll be the 25th, the 24th is trailer release day (plus there's GTWS happening on the 24th so it can't be that day).We learned the release date ot the update....April 24th!!
I wish that's the case 🤞 , why else they would mention esport with GTMaybe a group 3 car also?
Update is not on thursday 25???We learned the release date ot the update....April 24th!!
April 24th is the reveal date, not the update dateWe learned the release date ot the update....April 24th!!

personally i dont see that Skoda VGT as Gr.3 plus its electric only , if anything it would been Gr.1Would be interesting Škoda entered the Manu championship with the VGT and a Gr.4 based on the Rs2. It’d be like Suzuki entering the Manu with their Gr.3 VGT and Gr.4 Swift.

Lovely shade of green confirmed 🥰 That is one of the best looking VGT cars I've seen so far too. Fingers crossed it has a pretty face, a lot of these VGT's have nice arses but ugly faces (Aston Martin I'm talking about you).Sure does look like a modern take on a Can-Am. This looks blurry awesome!(yes pun intended)…and it appears to be green. My favourite color.

And all others were pointing out to him were that reducing Skodas to just VW Group clones is unfair as they also have a rich pre-VWG motorsport history.I do however point out that while today's Opels may be Stellantis Group variants, reducing the Opel brand just to "Stellantis clones" is a little unfair. A lot of the cars currently in GT7 are pre-2017, thus there are a lot of intertesting GM-based Opels to add. I think that's what @georgetigra (which I suspect has an Opel Tigra) was trying to point out.
If the Fabia Rally RS Rally2 ever makes it to GT7, watch as it gets thrown into Gr.B.Would be interesting Škoda entered the Manu championship with the VGT and a Gr.4 based on the Rs2. It’d be like Suzuki entering the Manu with their Gr.3 VGT and Gr.4 Swift.

Skoda brand is coming but not really one of their cars. Just a fake imaginary digital make believe car. Don't get me wrong, I like the VGT cars, but they shouldn't be the only car you bring to the table. I am happy that in GT7 they are assigned a class or left as a PP option as compared to GT Sport where they were X class and you really couldn't use them except as a one make. I would like the game to focus on tracks for a while. Even not very well known tracks from around the world would be nice. PD created tracks or perhaps a simple track creator like GT5 had. Just my thoughts and opinions. Have a great day everyone.I'm not sure why the news of an entire new brand (from an entire new country) coming to GT is being treated as poo-worthy, but it sure does make a lot of people look stupid, entitled gatekeepers. I'd expect that of Facebook/Twitter/YouTube comments, but GTPlanet users?
I get not liking VGT cars. Most of them suck to drive - not that you're required to, as the only VGT events are Bonus Menus and not part of game progress - and a lot are not great to look at. The fact they're running to a formula of all-wheel drive, electric. 700hp+ is almost irrelevant as that's what brands are making in the real world now too.
But this whole "VGT sucks" attitude is mad. Skoda hasn't been in GT before (except its logo, on the GT6 Goodwood Hillclimb). Clearly someone at Skoda (maybe a young designer, brought up on games; this happens a lot) has got through to marketing about the VGT project - which a lot of car designers take really rather seriously - and that's opened up channels between Skoda PR and GT Explore that didn't previously exist.
That increases the possibility of Skoda as a brand coming to GT in a much wider form (like sibling Volkswagen AG brands) and bringing us more "real" cars. No VGT project, no Skoda.
And all it takes is a VGT you're judging before you've even seen most of it, much less driven in the game, and probably won't even think about beyond April 24th. If, down the line, you're having fun in an Octavia vRS or Fabia WRC-based Gr.B, you'll literally have the VGT program to thank for it.
It's an EV and it's got a 4WD drivetrain, neither of which you're allowed to be in Gr.3.personally i dont see that Skoda VGT as Gr.3 plus its electric only , if anything it would been Gr.1![]()
It would be a fiasco if it’s only Fiat and Skoda.It would be funny if next update ends up being Skoda only🤭🤭🤭
Why not, let it be the VGT plus some more additional „real“ Skoda cars. Wouldn’t be a bad update.It would be funny if next update ends up being Skoda only🤭🤭🤭
…that’s six months from the official debut of GT7.![]()
ŠKODA VISION GT: a digital design model of an emotive, all-electric racing car - Škoda Storyboard
Mladá Boleslav, 20 September 2022 – ŠKODA Design has reinterpreted the concept of the ŠKODA 1100 OHC from 1957 and is presenting the computer-animated design model VISION GT, a study of an all-electric racing car made in Mladá Boleslav. Alongside its forebear, the design concept is currently on...www.skoda-storyboard.com
Honestly, I really wouldn't hold my breath on the final design of the Škoda VGT. They previously said that despite the name, it had nothing to do with Gran Turismo, but it does now.
The rear does looks very similar to what was seen on the teaser video, and they did mention it was inspired by the 1100 OHC Spider, so maybe they were holding back an announcement?
