    Gran Turismo 7 is about more than finishing 1st — it’s about mastering what you love.




    Today marks the start of Endurance racing’s biggest stage: The 24-hour Le Mans race. To help players get into the feeling, this game update drops a stacked grid of modern legends, from the Ferrari 499P that brought the Prancing Horse back to glory, to Porsche’s title winning 963, BMW’s hybrid V8 powerhouse, and Peugeot’s boundary pushing 9X8, plus a 911 Turbo S Safety Car to keep it all in line.




    Also arriving in Update 1.70, a new Menu, five new World Circuits events including the legendary 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit. All of this will be available for free beginning today at 11:00pm PDT / June 11 at 7:00am BST / 3:00pm JST*.




    Want to know which Hypercar from this update best suits your personality? Answer a few quick questions and keep track of your answers. We’ll match a Hypercar built for your style.

    The Quiz (5 Questions)




    Q1) Your favorite “win” in GT is…
    • Setting a clean lap and watching the delta go green
    • Out-strategizing everyone over a long race
    • A fearless pass that makes the replay look unreal
    • Nailing the perfect photo/livery and sharing it
    • Keeping the race clean, controlled, and penalty‑free 




    Q2) You’d rather drive a car that feels…
    • Surgical and precise
    • Unshakeable and stable
    • Aggressive and alive
    • Weird, unique, and totally different
    • Predictable, stable, and trustworthy 




    Q3) Your ideal track is…
    • Technical with rhythm sections
    • A long endurance test (practice → qualify → race)
    • High-speed with heavy braking zones
    • Anything cinematic with great lighting (sunset/night)
    • Clear visibility, strong flow, and consistency 




    Q4) When the car feels “off,” you…
    • Adjust brake balance and keep pushing
    • Think tires/fuel/consistency first
    • Crank the setup and send it
    • Build a new livery and try again
    • Slow things down until everything feels right again 




    Q5) Your “one more run” trigger is…
    • “I can find 0.2s.”
    • “I can go longer without mistakes.”
    • “I can take that corner faster.”
    • “I can make this look cooler.”
    • “I can make this cleaner.”

    The Ferrari 499P is rear wheel drive… until it isn’t: The car runs as RWD most of the lap, but becomes four-wheel drive above ~118 mph, giving it extra grip in fast corners like Nürburgring and the Porsche Curves at Le Mans.

    A century‑long rule broken. The 9X8 launched without a rear wing, something unseen in top‑level endurance racing for more than 50 years. The rear wing on a hyper car is its stability dial: more grip in corners, less speed in a straight line. Without a rear wing, all of the 9X8’s downforce came from underbody aero and body shaping. Thankfully, there’s one on this version for you.




    Drive Challenge

    Mission: Race at an event, try Monza Circuit Experience. Then go your Garage and move the Brake Balance one or two steps forward. Finally, drive the same event again and try to notice the difference.
