I have been playing since the PS1 days so this was a big milestone for me :) When I started GT7 a few years ago on PS4 some Missions and Track Challenges seemed unreachable to me. But with a new Wheel and VR Setup and a lots of laps it worked in the end!

Swipe for images of my victory lap

Honestly I don’t understand why the r390 gt1 isn’t in the game or the Porsche 911 gt1

Honored to have been able to thank Kaz and the PD crew for 30 years of absolutely epic racing, tuning, thrashing, crashing, and all the passion everyone at PD and the GT community has put into Gran Turismo since day 1.

Note: Seeing World Tour drivers race up close, and handle the cars the way they do = 🤯

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

• Interestingly, this was never an original livery. Car #18 was originally painted Midnight Blue Purple, but then was retrofitted with the HDK and LM-spec engine, and repainted Platinum Silver and is the only F1 with that color: https://www.hagerty.com/media/buying-and-selling/mclaren-f1-lm-could-sell-for-20-million/

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.

Trying to get the BoP right for close racing. The Civics are disappointing (much like the real Civic GT500), so I'm going to engine swap them and try again. I'm also going to replace the GT300 Supra and Z with two more GT500 Zs, if I can get it right should get some close, 9 way racing in the GT500 class. I'll be driving the WedsSport Supra.

Plan is to do hour long races at Kyoto, Suzuka, Fuji, Autopolis and finally Sugo when the update releases. Might do a couple of half hour sprint races at Tsukuba and Fuji short course as well.

I might also build the entire GT500 grid and do a standalone series as well.

What do you guys think of these 2 photos captured while racing at the Nurburgring?

Torque JX Skyline
My first time playing this game in years. Been so long since GT4. The last GT I played.
I’ll ask some questions later. If anything, please recommend some grip setups.

With the new Edgerunners season coming out soon I wanted to do a new livery inspired by the anime with a kind of street vibe to it. So I looked at a couple references and eventually landed on making this, and I like how it turned out.

Any feedback is welcome and please let me know what you think!

Does anyone know a good 800pp tune for the Hyundai genesis gr.3 car for the world touring 800 on spa? My current tune is struggling with making the turns

Sorry if the photo quality is bad

If someone could make these 2 I’ll really appreciate it. Been following this guys on instagram but I would mind having them in game.

I can’t seem to get any other than this.. tried so many different cars and strategies.. I think I’ve reached my peak :(

I can’t figure out trial braking. Maybe my fingers just don’t work like that? Idk. Sucks though. I want to win this race so bad but after about a dozen attempts I just can’t figure it out.

I’ll take any tips, but I don’t think they will be any different than what YouTube says.

Here was the official announcement with details:

EDIT: title says 1:59am - that is for PDT. 8:59am UTC

As has been the case in the past, you do not actually have to watch any of the two videos.

• Pic #1: Simply click on the Viewers Campaign tab from the main menu in the game.

• Pic #2: Then click on “Watch Program”

• Pic #3: Then click on “Watch Stream (Entry Available)

• Pic #4: Then just back out by pressing the circle button

• Pic #5: Then click on “Watch Program” again and you should see that it now says “Entry Submitted” for that video.

• Click on “Watch Stream (Entry Available) for the other video and then back out.

• Click Watch Program again and confirm that both say “Entry Submitted”

Just won, this beast of a car from the 6 star rotation. While at first i didn’t think big of it..Let me tell you it can become quite the money making method. Despite the ridiculous 3mil price tag. This car can obliterate 600pp races. At only 599pp you can produce over 800hp on all 4 wheels and with very good fuel efficiency for the World Touring Car 600 at the Tokyo Expressway, getting payed 550k per run.
