After months of anticipation, fans of Grand Tourism (GT) are rejoicing as the March update for Gran Turismo 7 has been formally revealed. This update, set to be available in the early hours of Thursday morning, promises to bring exciting new content to the popular racing game.
One of the highlights of this update is the addition of three new cars, with one of them being the iconic Toyota GT-One. This late 90s Le Mans prototype has a special place in the hearts of racing enthusiasts and is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful racing cars of all time.
For fans like myself who have been eagerly awaiting the return of the GT-One to the GT series, this update is a dream come true. The last time the GT-One appeared in a Gran Turismo game was in Gran Turismo 2, where versions of the machine from 1998 and 1999 were featured, including the rare Homologation-special road version.
It’s worth noting that the GT-One made a significant impact during its racing career, particularly in the 1999 edition of the Le Mans 24-hour race where it finished second overall and won its LMGTP class. However, this would be the last time the GT-One competed on the world endurance circuit, as Toyota shifted its focus to Formula 1, leaving many fans disappointed.
Despite its absence from recent Gran Turismo titles, the GT-One remains a beloved car in the series and has been recreated with great attention to detail in Gran Turismo 7. This update marks the first time the car has been featured in a Polyphony Digital game in years, showcasing its timeless design and performance capabilities.
In addition to the Toyota GT-One, the update also introduces new World Circuit races and a Jaguar menu. While there is no new track included in this update, fans are excited to race the GT-One on familiar circuits, including a World Touring Car 900 event at the Circuit de la Sarthe.
Overall, the March update for Gran Turismo 7 is shaping up to be a must-have for fans of the franchise. With the addition of the iconic Toyota GT-One and exciting new content, players can look forward to hours of immersive racing gameplay and fierce competition on the virtual track.
