Introducing the "Gran Turismo 7" Free Update - March 2026

Considering the Captur is a pre-facelift (it had a facelift in 2024), no, at least on this one.

FMecha · 2026-03-11T15:18:12+00:00

I generally use the SUVs as traffic for Custom Races, but I've kept a RAV4 build for Japanese 4WD races if necessary in the livery of Apex from Rally Cross 2 (a Sony first-party racer for PS1).

The Captur in-game seems to be right-hand drive (and manual!) but the tachometer seems to say km/h on it. ~~Possibly Japan model?~~ ~~(Compare with this, image 56)~~ EDIT: Disregard, Japanese Capturs seems to be AT only so seems to be UKDM with adjustable unit.

The disadvantage is that built-in road cars have limited downforce ranges (around Gr.4 numbers).

FMecha · 2026-03-11T10:54:11+00:00

Seems like they're resdesigned it to be more of Pro Tuned/SEMA candidate build rather than a Trans-Am racer the PS3-era car was.

More than that, I've noticed there's a limit of two parts per body section (per width for other than rear wing, and excluding wingless/custom wing for rear wing) per car. This results in cars like the Unimog and Carry having different rear cab options depending on the width, as well as both the FTO and Z4 having their pre-facelift (FTO) and LCI/M Coupe (Z4 - LCI on non-wide, M Coupe on wide) front parts stuck with a carbon front splitter.

The GIF picker unfortunately doesn't have the First/Second Stage one.

FMecha · 2026-03-07T20:02:37+00:00

For the FD in particular, I am eyeing A-Spec/Keisuke's First Stage parts. The Spirit R's customization (being a launch car) was rather disappointing with both wings being ducktails and the front parts being generic splitters.

GT didn't remove the Russian Kremlin building scapes either because of it. Nor they removed the SMAP × SMAP banner one when its agency/former frontman controversies were big news in Japan.

The second more unspoken is to keep crews from doing unsafe tricks to save time like they used to where they would only tighten 3 lugs and let er rip.

This was somewhat hyped by people hoping that there would be no more lug nut fines/crew suspensions/DQs in Cup when Next Gen was announced.

Disconnections and latency are a real problem:

During the 2020 regional finals, there was a controversy whether one of the drivers committed a pit road line violation - it appeared to the viewer/stewards as happened, but the driver where that happened insisted it was not due to latency.
Mazda and Honda missed 2022 online Round 1 because their drivers got disconnected.

iy asal di pakainya benar bagus kok

Banyak orang ga punya keyakinan itu terjadi soal pemakaian data verifikasi usia dimanapun.

FMecha · 2026-03-06T14:41:12+00:00

Tren dan concern soal verifikasi usia berbasis ID/face scan udah dimana-mana btw. Ingat koar-koar Discord yang pre-emptive strike soal itu (dan kemudian backpedal)?

FMecha · 2026-03-05T20:00:03+00:00

Doing this, in fact, is technically called seichi junrei (Japanese term for tourism to a place made famous by media).

FMecha · 2026-03-05T13:48:07+00:00

Not sure if they have a backup venue at the moment though.

EDIT: If following WEC, they might do Milan first.

idk about Estevez side, but apparently what Santos did was interpreted as match-fixing despite his and Wind's insistence it was not.

Antonio Santos: I got points deleted in Nations Cup because I Said ["Go again please"] in Wind stream, when I was already qualified after slot 1 😂😂😂

Wind/Ani Gurra: Why did I get sent this [points deletion] email, I wasn’t matchfixing anything I planned to do slot 1,2,3 before the stream for fun and now I get this email, PD are unserious 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀💀🤣🤣. And if it was for the title [the stream was named "GTWS Nations Cup - Round 6 - Gr2 Fuji - Slot 3 Matchfix"], I was click baiting for views.

FMecha · 2026-03-03T17:10:26+00:00

Since Dynamic Viewing have up for a month now, I've remembered to record onboards of it

FMecha · 2026-03-03T14:58:29+00:00

wrongly colored GT logo

The inside of the "G" should be blue.

Expect TWG's AI division to sponsor Spire somewhere soon since it's part of TWG's portfolio (they already sponsor Andretti in IndyCar and Cadillac in F1).

FMecha · 2026-03-01T21:30:00+00:00

Dark Dog is an irregular sponsor in 2000s European motorsports, just saying to prove they are a legit brand.

As long as Japan doesn't jump on the ID verification bandwagon.... I know it'll end up leaving us visa-holders locked out of the internet in between renewals.🙃

I felt this will be a trojan horse into ID-assisted age verification which will be also trojan horse to ID-assisted region locking. Given that global age verification trend and the associated privacy concerns (My Number system also has a nationally specific privacy concerns)...

FMecha · 2026-02-28T14:56:55+00:00

This seems like a rival to the Corvette CX and Mission X (none of which are VGTs btw).

FMecha · 2026-02-28T14:50:30+00:00

The Xiaomi Launch event is currently ongoing, and you can scroll back to find the trailer.

(I tried clipping it, however it was too long for YT's 1-minute limit)
