The latest new Gran Turismo 7 content update is now with us, following an almost three-week long period of anticipation and hype after being partly revealed at the GT World Series<\/a> in Milan back in May.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to take PlayStation 4 owners a lot longer than usual to download the update, with 1.70 coming in at just a little under 8GB on the eighth-generation console. On PS5 though it\u2019s closer to what we\u2019d expect from a five-car update at just over 1.6GB. We\u2019re not wholly sure why there\u2019s such a significant difference this time round.<\/p>\n

Of course the usual update rhythm applies, and we already knew quite a lot about the contents following the regular pre-update announcement yesterday<\/a>, but there\u2019s always more information only available when the patch notes land. Read on to discover all!<\/p>\n

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.70: New Cars<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve known about the cars since May 23, so there\u2019s not a lot left bar the rather unexpected pricings:<\/p>\n

BMW M Hybrid V8 2025 \u2013 Brand Central \u2013 3,000,000cr<\/p>\n

Ferrari 499P 2023 \u2013 Brand Central \u2013 3,000,000cr<\/p>\n

Peugeot 9X8 2025 \u2013 Brand Central \u2013 3,000,000cr<\/p>\n

Porsche 911 (992) Turbo S Safety Car \u2013 Brand Central \u2013 380,000cr<\/p>\n

Porsche 963 2024 \u2013 Brand Central \u2013 3,000,000cr<\/p>\n

Previously it\u2019s been the case that racing cars have had higher prices than peers where they have been more successful. However all four of the new LMH\/LMDh cars come in at 3,000,000cr, matching the price of the existing Toyota GR010, despite only two of them having had major success on either side of the Atlantic. The Safety Car\u2019s price, about a quarter more that the road car on which it\u2019s based, is exactly what we expected though.<\/p>\n

This actually makes 1.70 the third priciest update of all thus far. Even if you buy only one of each \u2014 and each car only has one livery\/number \u2014 it\u2019s 12,380,000cr, placing it just behind the 1.20 update and the record-holding 1.55 update, both of which were skewed by a single car.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.70: New Races & Events<\/p>\n

We already learned about the five new races yesterday, heavy on the Gr.1 as you\u2019d expect, but now we have lengths and winner\u2019s prize money numbers too. Along with the second new collection-based Extra Menu Book in a row there\u2019s now confirmation of the time-limited Seasonal Menu, although it\u2019s a little different, and a fifth new Circuit Experience in the last five updates.<\/p>\n

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.70: New World Circuits Races<\/p>\n

European FR Challenge 550 \u2013 Eiger Nordwand Reverse (4 laps) \u2013 40,000cr<\/p>\n

Gr.1 Prototype Series \u2013 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit (7 laps) \u2013 260,000cr<\/p>\n

Gr.1 Prototype Series \u2013 Sardegna Road Track A (15 laps) \u2013 220,000cr<\/p>\n

Gr.1 Prototype Series \u2013 Watkins Glen Long Course (15 laps) \u2013 220,000cr<\/p>\n

Pickup Truck Race \u2013 Fishermans Ranch (1 lap) \u2013 32,000cr<\/p>\n

The three Gr.1 races aren\u2019t quite the money-spinners we\u2019d hoped, but nonetheless do press the four new cars into action right away \u2014 even if the 950PP cap for the events makes them a little outclassed. Around 200,000cr for what\u2019s going to be 25 minutes\u2019 work each time is a middling return.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not a new race suitable for the 992 Safety Car, with the other two events seemingly plucked from nowhere. They do at least feature two unusual circuits, with Eiger\u2019s reverse course up for the European FR Challenge 550 (watch out for the hairpins going uphill!) offering up to 40,000cr and Fishermans Ranch in a one-lap Pickup Truck Race for 32,000cr.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.70: New Circuit Experience<\/p>\n

Fishermans Ranch also features in the fifth new Circuit Experience in a row. That takes you back to one of the trickier original Circuit Experiences but now in the reverse direction.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need to watch out for that leap at the top of the circuit, as the landing zone is pretty short especially in the Lancia Delta HF Integrale WRC. In total there\u2019s seven sectors worth up to 6,000cr each time and a full lap awarding 30,000cr for a gold time, but it\u2019s the bonuses that entice again.<\/p>\n

Pass every sector and the lap and you\u2019ll earn 600,000cr, while there\u2019s another 2,000,000cr on top of that if you make all of those passes gold ones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After months without an Extra Menu we get two in two updates. This one will have you collecting three 2016 LMP1 hybrids \u2014 the Audi R18, Porsche 919, and Toyota TS050 \u2014 with a Six-Star Roulette ticket as the reward.<\/p>\n

Unusually, this one will ask you to collect four cars rather than just three, with the four being all of the new hypercars. This is again time-limited, so you\u2019ve got slightly under three weeks to collect all them with another Six-Star Roulette ticket for completion.<\/p>\n

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.70: Power Pack Changes<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no major changes compared to the previous update, but there\u2019s a couple of important new details. That includes access to detailed settings when you use one of your own garage cars instead of the preset cars, as well as Race Shop being added for garage cars to allow you to pick up tyres and fine-tuning components without having to back all the way out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.70: New Engine Swaps<\/p>\n

Despite the lull in updates \u2014 and presumably until the next one, likely at the end of July \u2014 it\u2019s just a five-swap update this time round.<\/p>\n

The crown for wildest swap goes to the Toyota RAV4 Adventure, which gets an 840hp supercharged V8 lump from the Dodge Demon Challenger to quintuple its power output. Yikes.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere there\u2019s two new homes each for two other engines. You can make your own first- and second-generation Audi TT-RS with a swap from the Audi Sport Quattro rally car, while the Nissan GT-R\u2019s VR38DETT now goes into the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak and Renault Espace F1.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.70: Other Changes<\/p>\n

Pikes Peak finally makes it into GT7, but only as a new Scapes location. There\u2019s 11 spots around the infamous Colorado mountain\u2019s treacherous road ascent, including one previously used to promote the Suzuki Vision Gran Turismo way back in May 2022 but unavailable to players until now.<\/p>\n

Otherwise changes are few and far between. In game terms the biggest is probably a new opening movie for Sport Mode races \u2014 we assume meaning the GTWS movie, which should therefore debut this weekend with the new Exhibition season.<\/p>\n

As ever, there\u2019ll be some changes in the update not specifically mentioned in the patch notes that include things like new \u201cReal Car\u201d paints. We\u2019ve spotted new reds from Renault and Yangwang, new yellows from Mazda and Renault, several new blues from Mazda and Renault, and yet more white\/black\/gray shades from Renault.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be able to read more on changes like these on GTPlanet as they\u2019re uncovered over the next few days, in our regular Undocumented Changes thread<\/a>.<\/p>\n
