A new Gran Turismo 7 update released this morning, bringing 4 new cars, teased last week in a tweet by Kazunori Yamauchi. Without any surprise, we're getting the 2018 Nissan GT3, the Kenmeri Skyline 2000 GT-R, the Maserati Merak SS and a club racer version of the latest Mazda MX-5, the NR-A.
No new track is included however, breaking the initial pattern of a new track or new layouts every 2 months. It seems like the focus is geared more towards simulations instead. Physics have been tweak again, albeit in more subtle touches this time. Although suspension geometry has been altered for all cars, car specific default setup changes and other minor tweaks are shifting their balance individually. The general performance seems a bit improved, so expect your lap times to go down a bit. Tyre wear and rain simulation seem to have been reverted to a previous state, and wall collision damages sensitivity has been turned down a lot, so overall, this update makes the game less punishing.
New engine swaps have been spotted again by the community, with the Chevrolet LT5 engine bring compatible with the S14 Silvia and the GT and GR86, while the small Honda Beat can receive a K20 engine (and do wheelies with a bit of setup).
The full patch notes for the update are available here.
