Everything you need to know about Gran Turismo 7 update 1.25

However, it will not add any more circuitry or dramatically improve the stability of the online lobby.

1.25 is from today, 20^th October and weighs 1.06 GB on PlayStation 4 and 1.648 GB on PlayStation 5. Here’s what you need to know.

What is update 1.25 for Gran Turismo 7?

Update 1.25 is a free game patch for Gran Turismo 7 that follows Polyphony Digital’s continued post-release support schedule to release a number of significant changes each month.

The Café Menu Book system is sort of the game’s main career mode and has been expanded by 46 in today’s update^th Chapters, provided you have reached Collector Level 29.

• Menu Book No. 46: “Historical Sports Car Championship”

This includes cars like the new Maserati Merak, Ferrari and Lamborghinis. Any car under 580 PP made between 1960 and 1989 is allowed.

The following three events have been added to World Circuits as part of this new book.

• Goodwood Motor Circuit, five laps, max reward 55,000 credits
• Nürburgring Nordschleife, one lap, maximum bonus 60,000 credits
• Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, three laps, max reward 55,000 credits

If you finish these three races on the podium you will receive the following prize:

• Four Star Roulette Ticket

Four new cars

We’ve already covered these in detail, but below you can find where to buy them, how much they cost, and their PP values.

• Maserati Merak SS ’80 – Legendary Cars – 422.29 PP – 75,000 Credits
• Mazda Roadster NR-A (ND) ’22 – Brand Central – 421.56 PP – 31,000 Credits
• Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 ’18 Gr.3 – Brand Central – 723.14 PP – 600,000 Credits
• Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R (KPGC110) ’73 – Legend Cars – 386.53 PP – 542,000 Credits

Remarkably, the 1973 Nissan Skyline doesn’t come cheap, but in the real world it was incredibly scarce, taking only four months to produce. The second Nissan Gr.3 entry is also equivalent to 150,000 more credits than the existing older specification.

The new Roadster (pronounced MX-5) is very similar to the existing model in the game, but with racing-modified elements like a roll cage. It is available with or without a racing livery.

Revised driving physics

Possibly the biggest change with the Gran Turismo 7 1.25 update is an optimization of the performance of cars. After its release, developers Polyphony Digital softened the edge handling characteristics of many road cars, we’ll see upon further testing if subsequent revisions deliver a similarly dramatic difference.

• Adjusting simulation for tire heat generation and wear ratio;
• The suspension geometry was adjusted for each car;
• Adjusted starting values ​​for suspension parts;
• Adjusted starting differentials (equipped with “fully customizable LSD”) on certain vehicles;
• Adjusted the performance points (PP) of some cars;
• Changed the conditions for mechanical damage resulting from collision or contact when “Mechanical Damage” is set to “Light” or “Heavy” in the race settings. As a result, cars are now less likely to take damage after hitting a track wall or other obstacles.

Small improvements

There are a number of other changes, the full list of which is below. Of these, the following are the most important:

• Mazda Spirit Racing GT Cup 2022 liveries are available for the following Mazdas: Roadster NR-A (ND) ’22, Atenza Gr.4 and RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT
• Two new Scapes locations: Whitby (Yorkshire, UK) and a collection of Autumn Leaves
