First new post-launch content racing 7 Today’s v1.13 update has arrived, bringing three cars and a new track layout to the game.
As we’ve been able to confirm from the silhouette trailer released on Sunday, the three added cars are all Japanese: the second-generation Subaru BRZ; the championship-winning Subaru BRZ GT300; and the fan-favorite Kei car, the Suzuki Cappuccino.
Since the BRZ road car is on the 2022 Toyota Gazoo Racing GT Cup schedule, we’ve been looking forward to it. The GR86’s sibling, the BRZ received some major updates to the first-generation car, not the least of which was the larger 2.4-liter boxer engine.
The BRZ GT300 is based on the bodywork of this second-generation car, and although as a GT300 racer – on par with the GT3 in terms of speed, the GT3 is actually allowed to race in that class – it bears little other resemblance.
The car made its debut in the Super GT series in 2021, earning Kan’s race victories for drivers Takuya Iguchi and Hideki Yamauchi and a first-ever Subaru title.
Finally, the Suzuki cappuccino from racing 6absent sportsThe tiny sports car was built to restrictive Kei car regulations, and its 0.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder made just 63 horsepower, but it had many admirers.
In addition to the three new cars, the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps 24 Hours has an unexpected additional track layout.
although GT7 There is already the famous Spa circuit, it’s just in F1 form, entering the pit lane at the bus stop corner entrance and exiting after the La Source hairpin.
This update adds a 24-hour version, which extends the pits to the second set of garages – to accommodate the Spa’s 24-hour expansive entry list – and exits at the top passing Raidillon, the race starting line between La Source and Eau Rouge . Otherwise, this circuit is the same spa we know and love.
The new track also hosts three new events, including the European Sunday Cup 500 and the Japan Clubman’s Cup 550, as well as the longest and highest-paying race to date. It’s part of the World Touring Car 800 series, but the race is a limited-time, one-hour endurance race worth 1,000,000cr.
The Clean Race bonus has been increased by 50% and it will be one of the fastest ways to earn points in the game.
Further changes to the game include GT Sport, now plays when entering sport mode for the first time after an update. It’s narrated by “The Voice of GT,” GT live event host Tom Brooks, covering the unwritten rules of not doing anything that might make you look bad…
Also in Sport mode, players can now choose to use their own garage car for any race, or to “rent” a vehicle for the event. This means you no longer need to own a car to participate, and you can even rent a different vehicle for events where you already own an eligible machine.
Used and legendary car dealers now have a “new” inventory sign that highlights vehicles that arrive the same day. This complements the “Limited Inventory” badge, which tells you which cars have only 24 hours left at dealerships, and will be available from April 26 – when cappuccinos will also be available in used cars.
There are also two changes under the hood, one of which will be more popular than the other. PD notes that it has “tuned the geometry calculations” which resulted in a lack of rear-end grip, especially on rear-wheel-drive cars, which should now be improved. Additionally, a bug with performance point calculations has been resolved.
Of course, various other changes have been made, and you can read the full patch notes in our forum. The update is 2.66GB on PS5 and 4.6GB on PS4 and is available now.
