In a few days, GT7 is getting the first part of the big Spec IV Update, and along with it, a couple new features, Vintage & Car Concierge. We still don’t have all the details on how exactly these features can be used and what limitations there might be.

However, from what PD has said about them, and from some of the screenshots they have released (I added those to the collection of pics in this post), it appears we will be able to order cars that otherwise we would have to wait for them to periodically show up in the UCD & LCD. What is not certain yet is if we will also be able to order specific liveries for cars that have different original liveries.

In case we can, or for those that are just curious, I thought it might be nice to share what some of these different liveries look like in case the game does not include a preview option, as some of these cars can be quite expensive… No more so than the iconic McLaren F1.

Side note: For those curious, there are actually only four cars that sell for over 2 million credits in the LCD that have multiple original liveries:

  • 2.5m Shelby Cobra 427 ‘66 (7 liveries not including striped versions)
  • 4.5m Ferrari F50 ‘95 (5 liveries)
  • 10m Porsche GT1 ‘97 (5 liveries)
  • 20m McLaren F1 ‘94 (9 liveries)

OK, so here are the 9 original liveries for the McLaren F1 (pics included) that are in GT7:

Magnesium Silver

  • This was by far the most common livery with 18 of the 64 standard F1 production cars originally coming in this color (2 have since been repainted a different color).

Mercedes Brilliant Silver

  • This is extremely similar to Magnesium Silver & Base Silver and 4 cars originally came in this color (1 was repainted a different color).

Base Silver

  • This is extremely similar to Magnesium Silver & Mercedes Brilliant Silver and also used on 4 cars (2 have since been repainted a different color)

Jet Black Metallic

  • This also came on 4 cars, perhaps most notably the one Jay Leno purchased (although it has red detail stripping), one of them has been repainted.

Carbon Black

  • This came on 3 cars and is very similar to Jet Black (1 has since been repainted a different color)

Marlboro White

  • 1 of 1 (Car #53)

Platinum Silver

XP Dark Green Metallic

  • This was only ever used for the last Prototype (XP5) F1 which was used to set the world record for fastest production car.

Historic Orange

  • This was only used for one original production F1 (#71), but was used for 4 of the 6 LM variants.

Here are the additional F1’s I chose to replicate that are included in the pics:

  • Car #75: Yquem (the last standard production model painted specifically for the Ojjeh family collection).
  • Car #61: Dark Burgundy (once famously owned and driven frequently by Rowen Atkinson).
  • LM5: Historic Orange (the last LM variant made, owned by the Sultan of Brunei).
  • Fantasy: PD Stealth Livery
  • Fantasy: Whataburger race livery

Here are some additional stats on McLaren F1 liveries:

86 McLaren F1s were built:

  • 5 original prototypes (Unpainted Carbon, Blue, Silver, Dark Metallic Grey, and Dark Metallic Green)
  • 3 GT variants (#54 Black, #56 Silverstone Green, #58 Dark Burgundy)
  • 8 GTR variants
  • 6 LM variants (Historic Orange except for 2 Black ones sold to the Sultan of Brunei)
  • 64 standard production cars. (34 different liveries were made, 27 of them were unique (sadly 4 no longer exist)

Here are the four 1/1 livery colors that were repainted:

  • #14 was Titanium Yellow (repainted White) 🤦‍♂️
  • #22 was Genesis Dark Blue (repainted Metallic Green) 🤷‍♂️
  • #23 was British Racing Green (repainted Silver) 😱
  • #73 was AMG Green Velvet (repainted Kandy Orange) 🤔

One final note:

While all 9 of the paints for the original liveries for the F1 are available to use in the Livery Editor to repaint any F1 in those colors… none of the other 34 original colors for the F1 are in the game as original McLaren paint options. Instead, you will have to find the best fit among the many options in the paint shop.

Also, for those that like seeing the name of the livery of your cars in the game, don’t repaint, or make changes to customizations (even changing wheels or tire sizes will remove the name), or convert to a wide body. if you do, the name of that original livery will be gone forever… even if you select the “Restore Original Livery” option in the Livery Editor.

Made it to the end of the Crown Ranks (again… and likely the last time) with all four accounts! 😅🤗👑

Main:

Daughter’s:

Son’s:

Friend’s:

My son was a massive help over the summer to get all of these accounts to the end… and more importantly it’s been so much fun playing with him again now that he has finished college! 🤗

Also completed every Season, Pass, Event, Ranked Knockout Cycle, and Mastery Ranked Cycle… 😅.

The exception being the Legacy Seasons for Supernova & NearGrizzly as those accounts did not start playing Fall Guys until after the Legacy Seasons had ended and the new launcher was released… other than that, everything was completed.

All of the cosmetic swag I’ve collected over the years:

To be clear, I am saying that it’s “likely the last time” as I seriously doubt they will add any more Crown Ranks, unlike the three previous times:

“Just when I thought I was out…”

Besides, ending with the “Crown of Renown” seems a more appropriate final reward than any of the previous Final Rank rewards:

  • 8/2020 Rank 50: Golden Knight
  • 6/2022 Rank 54: Marblellous
  • 3/2025 Rank 80: Arcane Drake
  • 9/2025 Rank 85: Crown of Renown

Although ending at level 100 would feel more apropos. 🤷‍♂️

Regardless, it’s been a lot of fun… and while the sense of completing it is mostly over, I will still be looking forward to playing Fall Guys with family & friends (and most of the random beans I encounter along the way)! 🍻

Every Classic Group C Engine Swap in GT7 from Original to Swapped to Fully Modified 😅

Last week I posted about performing every Mazda 787B engine swap, all fitted with the iconic Renown liveries:

https://www.reddit.com/r/granturismo/s/KUYmZYwL8P

So this week I decided to go a bit further and not only do the same with the other two Group C engine swaps (Nissan R92CP & Jaguar XJR), as well as show the progression from Original to Swapped, and finally fully race modified (Pic #4).

  • Pic 1: The original Group C cars
  • Pic 2: Original Condition Cars
  • Pic 3: Swapped Engine Cars
  • Pic 4: Fully Modified Cars
  • Pic 5: Nissan R32 GT-R V•spec I| '94
  • Pic 6: Nissan R33 GT-R V• spec '97
  • Pic 7: Nissan R34 GT-R V• spec Il Nür '02
  • Pic 8: Jaguar XJ220 '92
  • Pic 9: TVR Tuscan Speed 6'00
  • Pic 10: Jaguar F-type R '14
  • Pic 11: Mazda Roadster Touring Car
  • Pic 12: Mazda RX-7 GT-X (FC) '90
  • Pic 13: Mazda ẽfini RX-7 Type R (FD) '91
  • Pic 14: RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7
  • Pic 15: Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD) '02
  • Pic 16: Mazda RX-8 Spirit R '12
  • Pic 17: Mazda Atenza Gr.3 Road Car
  • Pic 18: MAZDA3 '19
  • Pic 19: Mazda Roadster NR-A (ND) '22

This took longer than expected, but I had fun doing it!

If anyone’s interested, I was also thinking about racing them all against each other to see how the AI performs with them.

X-Treme Solos Ranked All Done on All Four 😅😅😅😅 Soooo Sweaty!!!!

For those struggling, the best advice I can give you is to be patient any time you are near a spot where someone could try and grab you to make you fall. Jump early and dive. If they grab early, you’ll have enough space and time to recover without falling.

That said… don’t dottle or goof off at the end. Rounds that don’t show the qualifying number like Slime Climb and Slime Scrapper can abruptly end, leaving everyone that’s not paying attention near the finish line to get eliminated.

Once you are in the Final, focus, focus, focus… it can feel like a grind, but perseverance pays off.

If it’s just too much… take a break, and try when there aren’t as many try hards & sweats.

9 Different Mazda 787B Engine Swaps w/ Iconic Renown Liveries (worth the effort!)

The Mazda 787B is not only one of the more significant race cars in the history of Le Mans, but also in the GT Series.

The thing that really made the 787B so memorable was that amazing 4-Rotor Wankel engine (R26B).

So what a treat it is, that in GT7 you can swap the engines of 9 different cars for this incredible engine:

  1. Mazda Roadster Touring Car
  2. Mazda RX-7 GT-X (FC) ‘90
  3. Mazda ɛ̃fini RX-7 Type R (FD) '91
  4. RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7
  5. Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD) '02
  6. Mazda RX-8 Spirit R '12
  7. Mazda Atenza Gr.3 Road Car
  8. Mazda 3 ‘19
  9. Roadster NR-A (ND) '22

 

It is one of the most expensive engines in GT7 (although a massive bargain compared to the BMW McLaren F1 GTR engine swap 🫣). And unlike the F1 engine swaps, the 787B engine swap completely transforms these cars… and effectively gives them endurance racing fuel cells.

Overall, definitely some of the best engine swap transformations in the game IMO. 😎👍

Also, big shoutout to all the livery creators that do such a great job replicating and or paying tribute to this iconic livery!

October Update (Spec 4 pt1) will increase the Collector Level to 90 - how to find out your current level and how many points you may need.

The current Collector Level cap is at 70 which occurred for the Spec 3 Update back in December, and with it, awarded players non expiring Special Car Invites:

While the game stops showing your current collector level once you reach the cap, it does continue to add and show your current total points. So with that info, you can use a Collector Level calculator to see what your actual Level is beyond any cap:

For those curious, if the Collector Points system doesn’t change (and it did not change when they raised the cap to 70), a player would need 187,450 points to reach level 90:

  • 1 point for every 1,000 cr value a car has

So you’ll only need to have collected less than 200 million credits worth of cars… which represents only about the average value of 1/3 of all the cars in the game. To reach level 70 you only need to have collected 110k points.

As for what will be unlocked with the new levels… that remains to be announced:

My best guess is it will be for the upcoming Vintage feature:

  • A service that will have a collection of cars that are normally only available in the LCD, available to buy at any time (and possibly with 0 miles on them).

As well as the upcoming Car Concierge feature:

  • A service that will allow you to special order cars at any time, that would otherwise only be available in the UCD & LCD… thus possibly avoiding having to wait several weeks at a time.

It’s not clear if you will also be able to pick which livery you want… If so, that would be a big game changer for those that enjoy collecting original liveries... Currently, there are some liveries that have not been made available for over a year, and can not be perfectly replicated using the Livery Editor. 🤦‍♂️

UPDATE: Here is the official trailer:

Just before the 2 minute mark it offers a hint on these two new features… but also appears edited, as the account that shows that the Car Concierge is now available in Brand Central shows that it is only at Car Collector level 26. 🤔

PSA: I doubt anyone was worried, but there does not appear to be a limit to how many gift tickets you can have at any one time…

GT7 puts a lot of limits in the game, like how many cars you can have, liveries saved, etc. 🫣

However, there doesn’t appear to be a limit to how many gift tickets you can have. 👍

If you reach 100 tickets it makes the font size smaller to fit the extra digit.

Along with the addition of the Caterham Superlight R500 ‘08 to GT7, they also added over 90 pages of trivia and over 40 photos to it’s Museum Collection

While it’s understandable that the great majority of attention from the most recent update to GT7 has been and will likely continue to be on the changes in the physics… that said, this update came with one of the long hoped for addition of Caterham and some version of their long history with the evolution of the Lotus Seven.

I’m working on another post going into more detail of the model they included and all the customizations, modifications, and tunes one could do to recreate/reimagine several other Caterham models using that one car.

Here is a preview:

https://youtu.be/FQTxsg4DfWA?is=34SHe9bAVDXzeBqn

Along with the addition of the car, PD also include a couple short PR videos in the “Channel” menu.

However, what I was really impressed by was the collection of photos and trivia included in the Museum entry for Caterham in the game.

I’ve included just a few examples, but in total there are nearly 100 entries and over 40 photos.

I went ahead and made a recording of the Museum Entries as well as the Showroom “Learn More” dialogue, and Cafe Discussions dialogue for those that don’t have GT7 and would like to see them:

https://youtu.be/sNRm8Bo-VIU?is=jTwrMJ825hUhNDZW

YouTube has labeled it as “Partially Blocked” (probably due to the menu music copy-writes)… if it doesn’t play for you PM me and I’ll try and fix it.

AFK Post Update 1.71 Changes to be aware of and easy fixes.

As by now most are aware that the latest update (1.71) for GT7 came with some very significant changes to the physics:

https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt7/news/00_3638095.html

This has created quite a reaction, mostly positive… but what’s a GT7 update without some piling on the complaints… 🫣

https://www.reddit.com/r/GranTurismo7/s/hVexDT5HqO

https://www.reddit.com/r/granturismo/s/UFMM2Qg4Hr

Regardless of how someone feels about the update, at the very least this will keep the tuning community extremely active for quite some time. 😅

There have been some claims that the AFK method was nerfed by this… and on the surface it would appear that way… but fear not, it just requires a slight change to your setup.

So with the change in the physics modeling, the PP numbers changed for many cars as well, including the Honda Beat; likely the most popular car for AFK due to its fast AFK lap times and being able to get it’s PP below 300 for optimum payouts. Yes, the Honda S660 can get more per lap because you can get its PP below 200, but it’s slower so the payout per hour is better with the Beat… However, if you don’t have the Beat and or can’t do an engine swap, the S660 is an excellent alternative.

The Honda Beat’s PP went up just enough to go over the 300pp mark after the update, which apparently some thought effectively nerfed that car for AFK. That isn’t at all the case.

[PIC #1] Old low PP

[PIC #2] Post Update low PP

Yes, if you couldn’t get the PP below 300, the payout would drop 24% from 14.2k (21.3k w/CRB) per lap, down to 10.8k (16.2k w/CRB).

[PIC #3] Payout if using a car over 300pp

However, by simply switching the Turbocharger to High-RPM it brings it back down below 300.

[PIC #4] Adjusted Turbocharger

So this one small adjustment returns the payouts back to what they were before the update.

The Tomahawk’s PP also went up, but not enough to change the payouts.

[PIC #5] Old PP

[PIC #6] New PP

However, with these changes to the physics, the tune for the Honda Beat as it was, is now about 2 seconds slower per lap than before the update. 2 seconds is hardly what I would call nerfing… but depending on how you have the Tomahawk 7th gear set to, you will likely want to adjust it if you had it set above 250. I had mine set to 255 as this way my car will pass them all by the start of lap 3, and never lap the main field thus avoiding the risk of an impact that causes my car to leave the track and thus lose the CRB.

So my first test, I kept the Tomahawk’s settings unchanged and ran my typical 11 lap race (as this is the min for a Daily Marathon):

[PIC #7] 11 Lap Race Settings

[PIC #8] Results

[PIC #9] CRB

[PIC #10] Lap Times

It took longer to pass all the Tomahawks, and they nearly passed me by the end of the 11th lap.

So I changed the 7th gear to 1.430/245 and ran a few traditional 30 lap test runs (as that’s the longest race with the max per lap that you can run). Every race went just perfectly. Safely passed all the Tomahawks and held the lead the entire time without every lapping them, resulting in CRB wins each time. And only took a little over a minute compared to before the Update.

[PIC #12] Traditional 30 lap AFK race settings

[PIC #13] Result on Guest Account

[PIC #14] CRB

[PIC #15] Result on 2nd Guest Account

[PIC #16] CRB

So to sum it all up, yes the update changed how to best run AFK, but requires very little change and per hour you are only getting slightly less than before, still in the 1.5m per hour range.

Hope you all are enjoying GT7 as much as I am, and not getting worked up over artificial economies, or treating a game like it’s a job. GT7 is a sandbox game for car enthusiasts, and with the time you can save from not having to grind away on the same races against the same AI, with the same results… instead, you can use that time to find what you love to do in the game, and do it! 🍻

Price Increases for the Ferrari F40 & F50 (currently available as Special Picks with low double digit year mileage) but below market value.

PD announced back in March, in cooperation with Hagerty, that they were going to be adjusting prices for some of the cars available in the LCD based on current market values starting in June:

https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt7/news/00_8497133.html

So while a price increase was certainly expected for most of the cars by Ferrari, thankfully the increase was very small compared to some of their real world values based on the auction results from just this past week:

https://www.reddit.com/r/granturismo/s/TdW08T0xS8

The F40 only went up by less than 10% from 3.1m credits to 3.4m credits (most recent auction result was $8.4m.)

The F50 only went up by about 5% from 4.45m credits to 4.7m (most recent auction result was $14.6m 😳)

These increases were applied before these latest auctions… so might want to grab them when you can before PD decides the increase wasn’t nearly enough to represent IRL values.

Also, as an added incentive, both of these cars are currently available as Special Picks with very low double digit mileage based on their production years.

The F50 also comes in a very rare original livery, Argento Nurburgring 😎

Hopefully Hagerty and PD don't try and match these price trends, but if not most of these are bargains right now in GT7.

In terms of % increase, the Ferraris are way higher now. The LaFerrari that sold this week was over 5x more expensive than in GT7. The Enzos were around 4x more. The GTO was over 3x more. The F50s and F40 were around 3x more.

The Lamborghini Diablo GT also sold for nearly three times as much as in GT7.

Disclaimer: Not all of these cars are in their exact specs in GT7, but with mods, tunes, and liveries, one can make surprisingly good replicas. The last screenshot is the complete collection I put together from this list.

Tribute to Kaneda’s bike from the classic anime film and manga Akira via the Chaparral VGT 😎

I have mixed feelings about the VGT cars, but there are some exceptions, and the Chaparral 2X VGT is definitely one of them.

https://gran-turismo.fandom.com/wiki/Chevrolet_Chaparral_2X_Vision_Gran_Turismo

For one, it always reminds me of the Nike One from GT4 (photo included) which I always thought was super cool in looks and design:

https://gran-turismo.fandom.com/wiki/NIKE_One_2022

It wasn’t particularly useful in the game, but I loved the imaginative design!

Fast forward to GT7, and unlike the Nike One, the Chaparral VGT is actually quite a joy to drive (except for the sound 🙉), and it can be used in several events, however I mostly enjoy using it in Custom races (especially at night and in the rain!)

Visually, it’s stunning and one of the most futuristic designs in the game. The cockpit view in VR is incredible to experience!

In addition, livery creators have made some absolutely spectacular designs for this car… and my favorite is easily this tribute made by konezumiway of Kaneda’s bike from the classic anime film and manga Akira:

So if anyone is on the fence on whether or not to get this car, I would definitely encourage you to do so. It can be a very pleasant surprise!

Schwarzwald League @ Catalunya GP with a sleeper ‘56 Porsche 356 Carrera 🤫

One of this week’s Weekly Challenges includes the Schwarzwald League @ Catalunya GP race. Which has opponents like:

* 911 GT3 RS (991) '16
* Carrera GT '04
* 911 GT1 Strassenversion '97

So just for fun, I decided to enter the race in a “slightly” modified ‘56 Porsche 356 Carrera… and by slightly I mean:

* Engine from a Porsche 959
* Stroke Up S
* Engine Balance Tuning
* Polish Ports
* High Lift Cam Shaft
* Titanium Connecting Rods & Pistons
* Racing Crank Shaft
* High Compression Pistons
* Weight Reduction: Stage 3
* Increase Body Rigidity
* High RPM Turbocharger
* Anti-Lag System (strong)
* Racing Intercooler
* Racing Air Filter
* Racing Muffler
* Racing Exhaust Manifold
* Carbon Brakes
* Racing Brake Pads
* Hydraulic Handbrake
* Brake Balance Controller
* Racing Clutch & Flywheel
* RS Tires
* Fully Customizable Suspension
* Fully Customizable Differential
* Fully Customizable Racing Transmission
* Full Control Computer
* Nitrous

Net effect… instead of a 362pp machine with 97 HP & 88ft-lb TQ, weighing 1,850 lbs…

It’s a nearly 700pp beast with 843 HP & 578ft-lbs TQ, weighing just 1,800 lbs. 🫣

With TC kept at 0, every corner was a game of “will I spin?”. I was able to get in one decent lap in under 1:54… but man it was wild trying to tame this beast!

Results from 120 Daily Marathon Roulette Tickets

Here are the results and stats from 120 Daily Marathon Roulette Tickets... considerably better than the predictions:

Recorded Pulls:

  1. https://youtu.be/g72ybe3fxIs
  2. https://youtu.be/I6JzDi0ODBQ
  3. https://youtu.be/ZirzjUL29MA
  4. https://youtu.be/pF-Du_7Wrw8

Based on Star Rating:

  • 6-Star Tickets: 14 (675k avg value)
  • 5-Star Tickets: 2 (225k avg value)
  • 4-Star Tickets: 79 (218k avg value)

Reward Type:

  • 74 Tickets for Credits (14 million)
  • 22 Tickets for Cars (10.2 million)
  • 8 Tickets for Engines (4.7 million)
  • 16 Tickets for Parts (0.7 million)

30 million total value (average 250k per ticket)

Even if I didn't want any of the engines & parts, and even if I didn't want any of the cars, and didn't wait to sell them when each one was near it's peak valuation, that still results in about 20 million credits (160k average).

Hopefully these results encourage other's as these are very reasonable averages since I've been tracking them over the last few months. Definitely not all Camshafts and Scattered Coins 👍

120 Daily Marathon Roulette Tickets: Time for more Predictions 🤔

I’ve been recording Daily Marathon Roulette Tickets as there seems to be some disagreement over what the average results really are… and the results have been surprising (at least for those that expect the worst). 🫣

So here is another collection of 120 tickets:

3-Star: 25
4-Star: 79
5-Star: 2
6-Star: 14 (4xEngines, 2xParts)

Time to see who can guess the closest total value of all the tickets; and for bonus points, who can guess the total number of cars and their combined value; and just the total credits not including cars, parts, and engines.

I’ll update this post with the results possibly tomorrow…. maybe longer as that’s a lot of tickets to go through!
