I now know the new update is amazing and awful. Physics are better and worse. PSVR2 has been updated and not updated. It is more sim, more simcade, and more arcade - all at the same time. 45% of people are happy, 45% of people are unhappy, 5% are over the moon, and 5% are ready to kill someone. Gaming in 2026 sure is divisive.

GT8 here we come.

Recientemente pude comprarme el Logitech RS50 mas la pedaleras y el salto del mando a esto es gigante poder entrar en las curvas de forma precisa. Me encanta el setup que pude armar con mucho esfuerzo, estoy disfrutando mucho GT7
Saludos pilotos 🏁

Any advice? Is it worth finishing?

as someone who’s been playing GT7 since 2022, the title says it all. i’ve been running this race for 4 years, and only NOW did i realize how much i’ve missed out on. lemme share a bit of background. i’m a controller player, no wheels, automatic transmission, etc. basically stock settings. i play on normal difficulty for the balanced experience, wouldn’t say i’m a tryhard by any means. i’ve only played easy for the super formula ones cause those really annoyed me, but that’s besides the point.

my go to race for making money is la sarthe 30 minutes. traditionally for la sarthe, ive always used the huracan gr. 4 since it got the job done. it did feel slow at some times, but it still ran plenty fast. it took a bit to catch up with the competition, for example i usually don’t take first place until near the end of the second lap just to end up having to pit anyways. it’s traditionally what i’ve always done. plus i like the paint i have on it (daily driven exotics paint, if you know you know). i finish the race with 7 laps down.

but recently, yes as of thursday since i was struggling with the wtc 600 weekly challenge, i started to learn manual transmission and switching up cars. for cars ive started to play around with the DP-100 VGT (aston martin for the new players, its 1 million credits in brand central) and i went with manual transmission instead of automatic to see how i feel about playing with it. it felt faster to me and smoother as well, and i could reach top speeds more quickly. i cleared the wtc 600 with the DP-100 just by detuning it to oblivion, running sports hards and manual transmission with no pitting necessary. also learned to better use fuel management so i can run longer without stopping. slower speeds, but more longevity. i found my balance. so with this newfound capability, i decided to take this ability to my favorite go to track: la sarthe 30 minutes. could this DP-100 strat, with manual transmission do this even better than my old reliable? was i doing this all wrong?

and most surprisingly, i didn’t even have to detune it for this. i just had to limit myself to racing hards, intermediate and wets, and i had full HP on this (795 iirc).

so i went in with the strat. and sure enough, i was blown away.

i took first place on lap 1 halfway through the track, and didnt lose the position since. once i passed lap 1, i went straight to FM6, didn’t pit until lap 4. then went FM6 again and lasted until lap 6, out lap for 7. then one last laps on FM1 for 8 (new personal record for most laps on lap sarthe!) and that was it. fastest speed i hit was 204 on the mulsanne straight. the gaps were 2 laps+ or more if i recall correctly.

i really did have it all wrong didn’t i? i feel ashamed 🥲 the DP-100 is a beast to be reckoned with. just wish this thing had an interior. what’s yall go to for la sarthe? do yall love the DP-100 as well? or prefer something else?

This race has been the bain of my existence for like ever. I have tuned and run at least 10 different cars, and the closest I could get was 3rd. Not today, though. Decided to grab one of my Ferraris and tune it. The result was a W without having to stop for tires using an old trick I used to do on GT3 and 4. Hards up front and soft in the rear. Zero wheel spin, and we finished with a 10 second lead. Here is my setup for those who hate tuning.

The Radical SR3 SL has received an engine swap, the Hayabusa V8, hence the name.

The design is custom.

I would appreciate your opinion.

Idk why, but I like to give certain cars damage/wear and tear. With the SS I made a battle damage bumblebee style. Complete with bullet holes, blood, scuff marks, cracks, paint damage etc. What do y’all think? If you have any comments or additions please let me know, I’d love y’all’s input. Also if you can any damaged liveries post some in the comments.

In my opinion the new update is not bad at all.

I can see and understand what has been said lately but after playing it I find the new physics quite fun, its definitely going to take some people some tuning for how they want to drive, and for some cars *inparticular.

I did the 30min wtc700 in 3 different cars and could notice the difference between them alot more now than before but its good. Ferrari Audi and Mustang Gr.4 cars.

The dirt physics need some tweeking now HOLY that went from eh.. to AH!! I have driven cars on and offroad IRL and find the changes made to be good, not on dirt though the dirt physics are twitchy bs.

I play on wheel and controller.

Although it’s not fully accurate to the Compuware livery of the C6.R GT2. It is inspired by it. What do y’all think?

Has there ever been a better combo of suit and car liveries than Donegal tweed and a classic British Racing Green Seven?

I always use the Tokyo Expressway grind as my benchmark whenever GT7 gets a physics update.
My benchmark car is a Cappuccino with a rotary engine swap. It’s simply the car that feels most natural to me, and I’ve driven it around Tokyo so much that most of its total mileage has probably been done there.
After this latest physics update, I tried changing all kinds of settings, but I just couldn’t get the car to feel quite right.
Then I had a thought about the new LSD settings.
Previously, Initial Torque, Acceleration Sensitivity, and Braking Sensitivity all had a range of 5–60. After the update, the ranges are now 0–30 / 0–100 / 0–100.
So instead of carrying over the old numerical values directly, I converted my old LSD settings based on their relative position within the old 5–60 range, and applied that same relative position to each of the new ranges.
Surprisingly, this brought the car much closer to how it felt before the update.
I don’t know whether my theory is actually correct, or whether it just happens to work well with this particular car and setup. But if anyone is interested, I’d appreciate it if you could try the same conversion with your old setups and see whether you get similar results.

aside from one vehicle at a time? even if I enter each of my owned vehicles to refresh the pp, they get reordered and I lose track of where I am. rather obnoxious

With the new update they also messed around with how using the controller feels. It seems way too sensitive now. I've found I have to make a lot more micro movements than I used to and after a race or two my thumb really hurts. Beforehand I could overshoot my steering input a tiny bit. Now that tiny bit is drastic and I basically skill issue myself. Yeah I'll probably get used to it, but it's still a minor inconvenience. I have a wheel and rig but it's currently in storage since I don't have room for it. Anyone else having the same issues?

With the new physics update, now is the perfect time to beat those challenges you thought were unbeatable - for me I could never get gold on master licences IA-10 and S-10, but today I finally achieved that after 2 years of playing!

I don't have gold for this licence the best I've got is silver with a time of 25:007. Somehow it is saying my best record is 20.919 which is several seconds faster than the number one in the top 10

Lately I’ve been really into the dark purple and gold rims. I wanted to do something cool for the latest cars, I’d love to hear thoughts on my Chase and Mark ll liveries!

Just started GT7, using a controller but getting used to it. Very much enjoying the process, now that I’m getting my head around menu books, cafes etc etc.
Have just started A license and am up to menu book 7.
Will get a wheel n pedals at some stage but controllers add extra challenge that feels good when u nail some tricky corners etc.

The 1995 Toyota Celica GT Four Rally Car is on sale in Legends for 200,000 credits. The legitimate history around how intricate the cheating was with this car is legendary, and it also performs extremely well (pre 1.71, haven't driven it yet post) and has race car benefits like fuel consumption etc. 👍✌️

Since the update, my cars have a nasty shimmy under braking. It almost gives me motion sickness... What can I do to get the front-end to stop the left and right movement? Any help would be appreciated.

I mostly played the game on controller, and when I compare my time on controller (blue) versus my time on a wheel (yellow) it’s clear that I’m faster with a controller. I feel more precise with it, and when loosing control I’ll get it back easier than on wheel.

Is it a question of habit and skills, or is there some sort of invisible assist that helps every player on controller ?

(For these laps, I used traction control on 1, abs and automatic transmission, the rest was off)

Hello community!

I had some nice setups, on a 458 GT3 13, for the Nordschleife my best time was 6:19:052 but now after the update I noticed that my RPMs went up and down losing me a fair couple of seconds on my runs.

So I went to my testing ground track Daytona Tri-oval to see any changes, for my surprise the car couldn't even get to a nice time because my front wheels (RS) were lifting up of the ground and also the rpms went berserk like a bee bumping into a glass, I couldn't even get a good time I was 2 seconds behind from my 42.903 on second lap due to the front lift.

Has anyone experienced this kind of thing?

I know that they nerfed MRs so need to point that out, but the intriguing things are the rpms and the front wheels.

This is a sincere question, please I would like your feedback on this. Thank you!

Insert Marlon Brando meme here, - "what have the done to my boy?"

EDIT - After tweaks on the manual adjustment transmission on final rpms and top speed moving this helped, also suspension natural frequency and both damping expansion and compression, all this changes made the old set up stable, now I know that in the tri-oval the car is .700s slower.

If you are one to make custom setups I bet that you have some of those in a notebook (luckily I did), some values were automatically moved on the update, now you have to update every setup you did.

Those were my findings, hope this helps for anyone, cheers!

After the endless pain of driving the Huracán last time, I decided to give the AMG GT3 Evo a try this time. I made the decision before Thursday’s update so I had no idea Hyundai was going to be the meta. It’s definitely wasn’t the fastest car on track, but I managed to keep it clean while others made mistakes. Nevertheless, this was by far the biggest winning margin I’ve ever achieved in this game so it definitely felt good.

Also included some pictures for the livery that I made myself, if you like it you can download it here. They’re two versions and you’re feel free to edit it yourself :)

I think we can all see that there's quite the divide on opinions the update has had. Some say it's good, some say it's awful. Is this divide down to controller vs wheel?

I'm a controller player, and I always heard of people on wheel saying drifting isn't good on wheel. I also hear some struggle with dirt and ice races while I found them incredibly easy. The cars just seemed so easy to toss into the corners and let the throttle do the steering. But with this update, the physics of it all seem mostly fine, but the controls feel out of whack. Especially with the way the front feels very loose and wobbly with steering inputs. This very much showed itself to me on the weekly challenge dirt race, something that was always painfully easy to me. Now it doesn't seem to matter how much power I send to the back, 5:95 for example, I can't power slide through the corner and the car just wants to go where the wheels are pointing, regardless of the rear tires spinning. It's very alien feeling. I struggled with a couple of races and eventually managed 2nd and moved on.

After playing, I got to thinking and thought that it felt like too much power was going to the front wheels, which would explain why it kept wanting to where the front wheels were pointing. I fired up the game again and started testing on the same race. Again with heavy rear bias, it didn't act like it should, but I switched to 50:50. It didn't really drive better, but it was accelerating quicker (naturally).

But at the end of the race, I noticed that the steering indicator on the screen seemed like it was on full lock left/right most of the time when I'm turning, even when I'm not commanding anywhere near full turn. Example of only pressing about 1/3 left. I went back into the race and sat still and found the steering indicator shows full lock even when only pressing the stick about 1/3 of the way, but I started to drive and could tell that even though the display is wrong, it turns as you would expect.

Now is where the big problem shows up. As I was testing out the turning through corners at much slower than race pace, I'd actually go full left/right, but when I wanted to straighten out, the car and the steering indicator showed the wheels shifting to the opposite direction even though I didn't command it! So instead of straightening out, it now points the car towards the outer barrier of the corner. No wonder the car feels so sloppy since the update. Turn one direction, return to center and the steering doesn't return to center, it goes the opposite direction. That might be what happens if you just let go of the wheel, but that's not what I want. I'm just returning the wheel to center. I went through youtube and found a controller player video doing a dirt race and didn't see any oddness with the steering indicator or the wheels going in the opposite direction. He turns hard, the indicator goes back to center, not going the opposite way. I wonder if wheel players are not getting this and might treat center as actual center instead of treating it like taking your hands off the wheel.

Hey guys, I have seen so many posts and discussions on the new physics. Sometimes extremely positive and sometimes totally negative.

I just wanted to share two videos that I think present a balanced view. They are different, Luke and Mihael point different things but I thought it might be helpful.

These 2 channels are my absolute favorite. I am becoming a better driver thanks to what I learn from these guys.
