I'm sure there will be videos comparing to the PS3 version of the track.

Best looking racer out there this gen imo. This is a very nice update and the new track looks incredible.

I’ve just remembered that I recently spent all my credits on some classic cars, so I need to save the coppers again for the new ones tomorrow. Bugger. Luckily it doesn’t take too long to earn a decent amount of credits nowadays.
It’s crazy to think that I still have around 150 cars to collect, considering I’ve been playing the game fairly regularly since it released, and they keep adding more. I’ve only completed around 70% of the races as well. The game has a few flaws (lack of weather on all tracks, limited time trial leaderboards, and no option to set up your own championships), but the content is staggering really.
Can’t wait for the new track tomorrow - it’s been too long!

I just checked and I already had all values set to the lowest. I must have figured that out when I was tinkering with it, but still the chase camera is too stiff and I don´t like it compared to Forza or driveclub.

Other Improvements and Adjustments
1. Physics Simulation Model- The behavioural models for the suspensions and the steering have been adjusted:
・Calculation of suspension geometry has been improved, resulting in more natural cornering physics and acceleration/deceleration stability levels;
・Calculation of steering geometry has been improved, resulting in more accurate simulation of steering forces;
・Damper attenuation behaviour have been adjusted, resulting in more natural physics on road bumps and kerbs.
- The tyre physics simulation model has been adjusted:
・Turning stability on low speed corners and kerbs has been improved;
・Surface resistance (rolling resistance) has been optimised;
・Heat and wear behaviour have been adjusted on Racing tyres;
・Grip reduction on the racing line in wet conditions, and hydroplaning physics have been adjusted.
- Default settings have been adjusted:
・Initial suspension and aerodynamics settings have been changed on all race cars and certain road cars.
- Performance Points (PP) for all featured cars have been updated;
- The wireless controller steering algorithm has been updated:
・The steering algorithm when using the analogue sticks or the directional pad has been improved, resulting in better handling.
- Controller behaviour for steering wheels have been updated:
・The force feedback algorithm has been adjusted, allowing devices to use their full torque range;
・The steering geometry calculation have improved, resulting in better force feedback feeling.
- The effects of the following driving assists have been updated:
・The Traction Control (TCS) assist intervention has been optimised;
・Corner braking control for ABS (anti-lock brakes) has been optimised.
2. Controllers
- Fixed an issue wherein force feedback vibration on the Logitech® G923 was too sensitive;
- Adjusted the strength of the vibration effect on the Logitech® PRO Racing Wheel;
- Improved the performance stability for all Fanatec® steering controllers;
- The LEDs of the four sticks on the Fanatec® GT DD Extreme will now light up in the colour of the corresponding MFD;
- Adjusted the Tuning Menu Auto Setup parameters for the Fanatec® GT DD Pro/Extreme, and Podium.
Selecting 'Auto Setup' (AS or A SET) from the Tuning Menu on the wheel will load the optimal parameters for playing Gran Turismo. A firmware update may be required in order to enable the Auto Setup function on your device. On the Podium mode, Auto Setup is intended for use in Low Torque mode. The use of High Torque mode will require manual adjustments.

I need to order my Brook Raslution 2 so I can use my Moza set up on this. such an amazing game!

Really surprised by how different the handling feels now, especially while breaking. Tire compound als has a greater impact. A lot of subtle dynamic movement. I like it.
Off road / Rally behaviour feels much more predictable with this. Nice job.

I just checked this out and it is really cool. Basically you can watch the Nations Cup replays in the GT7 engine itself, so it is being shown in realtime (meaning you can pause, rewind, change cameras/cars, etc). However, they updated the replay engine so that it supports all of the broadcast stuff, so you can watch the original broadcast exactly with the custom graphics, player photos, etc etc. I'm guessing they added the eSports build of the replay system to the actual game.

Man the physics feels so good on the 458.

I own the game and haven't dived into it as much as I've wanted to. Back in the day I used to love GT. I loved the progression aspect of it. Building your way up to getting great cars. But recent entries I just haven't been able to get into it as much. I play for a few hours and just get bored. I'm going to try to get into it again at some point.

More Sophy tracks is good. One of the best additions to GT7 for me. My nephew tried it the other night for the first time and would get visibly annoyed at the AI throwing out laughing emoji's as they passed during the race. Good times.

700 hrs into this gem of an immersive game since Mar 2022, it's still the only racing game that I game in every now and then. Long live GT and PD. The one thing I'd like to see improve a lot in GT8 is better textures for trees, grass and even higher fidelity for the environments. I mean the car details are already insane, so just the environment detail plus camera adjustments to the 3rd person driving (even though I mostly drive it in cockpit view) would be nice.

A GT8 without the shackles of the PS4, with all the cars they have worked on so far for this game plus plenty of others...
If they release something like that in 2026 or 2027 that would be awesome.

Update looks to be great, excited to try the new track when I get back from vacation.
This isn’t a comparison, so don’t be weird and make it one, but the GT and Forza Motorsport “made up” tracks or whatever you want to call them have been some of my favorites throughout the years.

Is that the Colin McRae Subaru??
Ok I think it may be time for me to finally get this game.

I’ve played them all pretty much and I really can’t find anything that was as fun as GT sport. I want to get gt7 but I’ll be waiting a bit longer.

Been playing FM8 lately and I gotta admit... I like the driving in FM8 more than GT7.
It's not the physics. It's the immersion from the dynamic chase cams in FM8, that GT7 refuses to allow proper adjustments.
In fact. I have a strong sense that Polyphony reduced the dynamics of the chase cam in GT7, through updates. FM8 just feels better to drive, for me.
I did ONE race with the Gallardo and I turned the game off, due to the archaic chase cam design being too stiff.

Very subjective. I literally can't play Forza games because of chase camera, especially when camera changes its field of view during acceleration/braking. So arcade. Of course it's not only reason but still.
One thing we can agree on is the untogglable dynamic FOV in FM8. It's the one think I wish I could turn off.

Forza feels better in 3rd person, GT feels better in 1st person.

Lol I mean your entitled to your opinion, but immersion and chase cam?
Do you drive your real car in chase cam mode.
Immersion = feeling of attachment to an experience. Something FM8 does better, for me.
I have a PSVR2, but I didnt want to be forced into driver view, at the time.

Did this new physics update like completely change dirt racing? I've hated the off road stuff in literally every Gran Turismo game because it never made any sense and felt terrible, but I just did a couple races in the new Impreza and it felt... Great? Fun? Like I would expect a car to handle on the dirt?
This is absolutely huge if they finally nailed off road racing.
Ok yeah I just took a truck I've used a lot for a spin and it's totally different feeling. This is awesome.
