They must have upgraded the A.I. since the last time I played. I just did that 10 lap temporary e sports olympics race and there was this one car that I kept getting into battles with. First I nudged its rear end in a corner and made it spin out, then 2 laps later it caught me and did the same thing to me, and then 2 laps later I got the last laugh by making it spin out again on the same corner and proceeded to get my bronze trophy lol. I've never fought with an A.I. racer like that before.

I dont have to win necessarily. Just bronze would be fine

Definitely try to get the gold for the circuit experience on this track. Sector by sector and then the full lap. Watch the demonstration. This was the first step for me, towards winning this race.

You should be below the 2 minute mark. Constantly! Consistency is key for this race.

Can't seem to find a good vid with a road car on a hot lap.

Edit: Seems to be very formula centric. There is a video with Nascars. :messenger_grinning_smiling:

Well if anything I hope they do it justice background wise. Nice city scape in the back and the river. Hopefully we see that as well besides boring barriers.

Gran Turismo 7 Update is Coming on August 7: Adds Four Cars Including GR Corolla​





Gran Turismo 7’s next update is coming on Monday August 7, as confirmed today in an unusually timed Tweet by series creator Kazunori Yamauchi.

It’s a date we’ve been keeping an eye on for a while, as it had already been teased much earlier in the month as the day when a new car, the Toyota GR Corolla Morizo Edition, would become available to some players. Yamauchi usually Tweets out the traditional silhouette images that tease which cars are coming to the game the weekend before the update. However he’s posted today to confirm the update, a full eight days ahead of the event. That’s likely in response to fans who were expecting a content update before the end of July, as most months in the game’s life to date have had such an update in their final full week. However Yamauchi has also previously stated that updates are not monthly by design, and may be more or less frequent.

We were of course expecting the center-left car, which is the Toyota GR Corolla noted above. There’s a caveat on the vehicle though, which is that it won’t actually become available to purchase in the game through Brand Central until the end September. Instead players will have access to the car in Sport Mode to practice for the final round of the 2023 Toyota Gazoo Racing GT Cup, which uses the car for a race at Watkins Glen, and all players who compete in any one round of the championship will receive it in their gifts at the end of the tournament on August 27.

The remaining three cars should be available right from the moment the game’s servers are back up following the update on August 7. Moving anticlockwise there’s a hotly anticipated supercar in the shape of the new Maserati MC20. This looks to be the fixed-head version rather than the convertible Cielo model, but in either case the car sports a 620hp, three-liter, twin-turbo V6.

Ticking round once more we see what appears to be a returning car to the series, in the shape of the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette. However as we can see from the hood louvers, this is a 1958 model rather than the 1954 version from Gran Turismo 4–6.

Finally there’s the most curious vehicle of all, which is quite clearly a commercial van. On closer inspection of the details we can see, it looks to be an emergency vehicle based on the Toyota Hiace, known as the “HiMedic”. Notably this is actually a car we’ve already seen in the game, as a toy in the Tomica Town Scapes location!

This of course only represents the vehicle content coming in the next update, and there’s no information yet on any further details in the update. Fans will likely be expecting a new track, as it has been a good long while since the last new circuit additions, but there’s no information along these lines yet. The update also lands days before the original premiere date for the Gran Turismo movie, and the Gran Turismo World Series Showdown in Amsterdam. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that the update will see some tie-in with the movie or, as previously seen with the GT World Series Final, some in-game special event races with high-value rewards.

We’re expecting the update to arrive around the usual time of 0600-0800 UTC on Monday August 7. Don’t forget that you won’t be able to access the game’s servers at all, including saving your game, while the servers are offline and until you have installed the update.

C1, fuck yeah!

They need to hurry up and get on the Z06, they also need to update their GT (Gr3) cars as well.

Surely the C1 will lead to an extra ticket for collection purposes.

Yes, more newer Gr.3 cars would be nice. I'm still driving my fake modded C8 around with the GT3 livery. :messenger_grinning_squinting:

Would also love to see the new Ferrari 296. Kinda sexy.

Kazunori Yamauchi Reveals Gran Turismo's Original Working Title was "Sim Racing"

Polyphony Digital studio head and Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed that the original working title for the game was, simply, "Sim Racing". This interesting nugget came as part of a presentation given by Yamauchi at a special event in Paris, as part of a motorsport exhibi
www.gtplanet.net www.gtplanet.net

“We could integrate recent models from 2023 in a 2023 update. But as I was saying earlier, this would involve quite a lot of work. We’d need the manufacturers to send us absolutely all the data at a very early stage. It takes like one or even two years to be more comfortable, to have not only all the design data, but also the textures, the technical data. But we really need to be able to work with the manufacturers very, very early on, and even they don’t necessarily have all the information we need to give us as soon as the models come out.”

No doubt we will be granted more modern cars in the life cycle of GT7 but i doubt it will be very broad approach in content. I'm just happy that they support this game so frequently without additional costs. But one can dream! For a Hyundai N30 '21... :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Gran Turismo World Series Showdown Preview: Dutch Courage



After a flurry of online competition earlier in the year, the time is now upon us for the first of 2023’s two championship-deciding live events at the Gran Turismo World Series Showdown in Amsterdam. Surprisingly, given that Polyphony Digital has offices in the city, it’s the first time that Amsterdam has hosted a live Gran Turismo event. It’s quite the location too, with the waterfront Theater Amsterdam acting as the venue for the races.

This 45,000 square-foot auditorium venue has seating for around 800 people (and tickets are still available for each individual day as well as the event as a whole) with access by car, bike, public transport, and, thanks to its position overlooking the IJ river, boat. Ticket holders will also be able to join GTPlanet each day during the event, at a special assembly point ahead of the racing action.



The event will actually start on the evening of Thursday August 10, with a special showing of the Gran Turismo movie hosted by Kazunori Yamauchi himself at the Pathe Koninklijk Theater Tuschinski in the city. Yamauchi will be available for an audience Q&A afterwards along with GT Academy drivers including Jann Mardenborough (whose story inspired the film) and the original champion Lucas Ordonez, among others.

Friday August 11 will see a special GT Sophy exhibition event, with the latest iteration of the machine learning-trained AI agent racing off against top level Gran Turismo 7 drivers. That will then be followed by the Manufacturers Cup event, with the 12 qualified teams racing for vital World Series points.

It’s an unusual-looking line-up this year, with three rarely seen brands appearing at the finals. Both Lamborghini (2020) and McLaren (2022) will be appearing at only their second ever finals event, while Renault is making its debut. Each team will consist of three drivers, and each is required to drive at least eight laps in the 35-lap race which takes place at Suzuka and uses the brands’ Gr.3 cars.

The Nations Cup final follows on Saturday August 12, after the intensely serious business of the Pro-Am event which will see members of the media, streamers, and influencers pairing off with finalists for a one-off race. For 2023 there’s a new team format for Nations, very similar to that used in Manufacturers. Each finalist country has three representatives and each will be required to drive the regular Gran Turismo X2019 Competition car once during the final, a 30-lap race at Autodrome Lago Maggiore.

Notably there’ll be a qualifying time trial session at Grand Valley Highway 1 in the Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo, followed by a qualification race of an as-yet unspecified format and car/track combination…

Each event will be marked by an absence though. 2022 Nations Cup runner-up, Angel Inostroza will be missing from both his Chile and Porsche squads following injuries sustained in a road accident last month and will not be substituted.



As with the World Final in Monaco last year, there’ll be special events connected to the Showdown available through in-game tiles and offering rewards. The Predict the Winners campaign invites you to select one Manufacturers Cup team and one Nations Cup team that you think will come away from Amsterdam victorious. Getting either one correct will win you a million credits (two million for the pair) and you have until the races start each day to make your choice, so you can even watch qualifying first.

Just watching the streams is enough to earn you rewards in the Viewers Gift campaign. Click on the tiles in the top-right corner of the World Map screen to view the streams each day and you’ll win a special Roulette Ticket to give you an engine reward for Manufacturers Cup and early access to the Toyota Ambulance Himedic for Nations.

You’ll be able to catch the Manufacturers Cup from 1700UTC on Friday August 11, with the Nations Cup starting at 1700UTC on Saturday August 12, and watch out for our dedicated preview articles for both events!

The even number models 2, 4 ,6 and now 8 to me, are the nicest designs.

Agreed, but that C1 looks nothing like the 54. Always thought the C2 had fixed headlight and popup models. Haha

Also looking at the notes it says engine swap was added to '89 camaro. Hopefully that's a slip they're adding the 3rd gen camaro(and Firebird please!!!) and not a typo.

Would like the Grand National (had a worked 87 IRL) and GTA Turbo Trans Am as well.
