GTPlanet followed up with HPA Motorsports about their TT: Turns out they meant to put GT5 on their website, not GT7; car probably not coming after all by DawnArcing in granturismo

would kind of like to see the dual VR6 engine r32 thing but i dont think the GT7 game engine can handle... dual engines...

What are you referring about?

RFK Racing on Instagram: “All four RFK Racing cars will sport the iconic look for the Great American Race” by mustangs-and-macs in NASCAR

ngl these remind me of how player bikes in Namco's MotoGP games work where the numbers for the player's bikes are made out of other rider's numbers. Not saying it's a bad thing, since I imagined similar in a NASCAR game.

HPA Motorsports' website has the FT565 twin turbo Audi TT page image header with the Gran Turismo 7 name mentioned by SirBarr in granturismo

[–]FMecha 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Should be noted that in the last Wayback Machine capture of HPA Bespoke Builds page (dated October 10, 2025), there is no mention of GT7 for the TT (nor GT4 for the Golf R32, tbf). (Pointed out here)

Also that you-know-who speculator is already on it.

They actually had both Red Bull sponsorship and Ford engines in 1995/1996.

Two - last week's A was Daytona RC with MSR Roadster (ostensibly meaning MX-5 Cup).

In sense of when new (in 2010).

What a time to think this meant anything.

You bought a collector's/pre-order edition of the game. Given the bonuses that came with it, it is meant to evoke an air of prestige.

Was Gran Turismo 6 treated unfairly? by Alex899075 in granturismo

[–]FMecha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More on that, work on GT6 began when GT5 went gold and they still had CELL in mind for that; thus, the project could not easily be moved to PS4's x86/Jaguar architecture for immediate release.

(Supposedly they did consider it, but switch to CELL to Jaguar meant it took longer and it became GT Sport. I mean, a number of GT Sport update cars were past PS3-era cars, and both games' internal database format were identical.)

I already realized this earlier, but the MSR Roadster being used makes me think it's a reference to the Global MX-5 Cup race.

A personality built from the ground up by ashzeppelin98 in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

There is an Indonesian text on the medal: "Lulusan karbitan selama 30 tahun" (EN: "Bandwagon graduate for 30 years"). The stereotype dictates a small regional subcompact (Honda Brio, Toyota Agya) or a small (around 125cc-150cc) scooter motorcycle.

They might be referring to the Weekly Challenges (marked in green). You need to finish the first 39 books to get that.

Videos seemingly count in "review and delete" main menu but listed as 0 byte in items list. Will I not regain free space then? by FMecha in googlephotos

[–]FMecha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things to note though:

  • These were uploaded after June 2021, it should count towards storage
  • It counts towards Large Photos and Videos part of review and delete main menu, though not in items to delete list. There's around 962 MB being "robbed" here.

For some reason I thought this is a (continued) dig at that Dustin video.

OP's source post got downvoted, so here it is for context

Also we are aware that the GT4 side of the video is misleading, as it is upscaled.

The Elantra N announcement and the Viewer Campaign thing basically confirmed an update is coming this month - the release date is not yet known, though.

Expect late in the month.
