This week’s new On-line Time Trial isn’t sticking round. Gran Turismo 7 pairs the Toyota MR2 GT-S ’97 with the East Finish format of Autodrome Lago Maggiore on Sports activities Exhausting tires, and as an alternative of the same old two-week run, it’s gone in seven days.
Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi has already confirmed a new update is on the way, and its set so as to add 4 vehicles: the Toyota Chaser and Mark II Tourer V, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N, and the Caterham Seven Superlight R500.
Trimming a Time Trial right down to a single week to reset the schedule is strictly what Polyphony did the final time a physics-altering replace landed mid-cycle.
That was July 2024 (has it actually been that way back?!), when Update 1.49 arrived with a reworked physics model. Working a Time Trial throughout a physics change would have made per week of laps pointless, so Polyphony closed each energetic occasions early and introduced again a single event capped at one week to reset the stagger.
Historical past repeating itself isn’t assured, however the playbook matches intently sufficient to recommend this replace might convey a little bit greater than IV vehicles to the desk…
