Gran Turismo 7 Has New Physics. Let's Test Them

Update 1.49 came with a bunch of updates to the Gran Turismo 7 physics model. What do they do? Let's find out.

I think your struggles with top speed etc. might be down to more than the physics. If you look at the top right by the track map, you can see the windspeed. Where you were struggling to hit speeds in the Supra at 5:05, you had a headwind against the car, which pretty significantly effects you in GT7. I can't speak for the wind in the old clips as it's cut off, but it's worth a consider.

You can test without wind by going into a lobby or custom race and enabling "Equal Conditions" in the race settings. For whatever reason, you can't do that in time trials.

At 5:35 as well, the ABS display is broken when watching a replay and it will always show as full ABS lock, so the clip from that lap is probably from a replay which is why it's showing like that. I don't think they ever changed the way it displays, but the way it physically functions has definitely changed this update.

They finally fixed the ABS System, which I dont hear people talk about enough. Previously trail braking to get the car to rotate was nearly impossible, since the ABS acted more similarly to a stability control system, whereas now it feels like ABS kicks in only when wheels are locking, as it should.

NEED TO USE SAME TYRE ON ALL CARS FOR PROPER SCIENCE

I love how GT7 now feels.
It finally reaches sim standards

Im always amazed how entertaining these videos are to me even though im not really interested in car games.

At the moment I’m not liking the new update, I’m driving slower now

[lucwijngaard]

Glad to see you using the Alpine on Eiger Nordwand, I think it's perfect just for the name alone

You should be able to buy the gran turismo fox for 20, 000, 000 credits.

Another fantastic video. So good I watched it twice. Keep up the good work.

I didn't like the psychics in Gr.3 but liked them in rallying & road cars. In Gr.3 im lapping only 0.5 seconds slower from my lap times from current psychics with current update. I was 0.5 seconds faster with 1.48 update previous psychics.

Do sport or racing tyres make a difference on the type of car like should a gt3 car not use racing tires but hyper cars should

[Agent-mbxx]

It feels like going from GT6 to GT7, cars are bouncy, my cars swerve and crash at places they did not used to, very weird. The Mangusta is a worse nightmare now

[roborbob]

Is it just me or do the racing Tyres have more grip in the wet?

[tadficuscactus]

Haha, they even put a fox in... cool.

[DeltaStridePLZ]

What's your upload schedule? I enjoy your videos and am always thrilled to see a new upload from you. They're just kind of on and off and then I feel we lost another sim tuber off the platform. Not complaining or anything...sometimes life has us by the nuts lol.

[TheAwsomeSawse]

It feels like this update just made the game less fun for me

[Tj]

Yeah, I now find the G PRO waggles left and right when the car is at high speed in a straight line, or initiating heavy braking

Wish they hadn't done that. It was great before

[ciro]

At least playing with a controller, cars on wet track are *much more* grippy and on a 3 minute lap time (Suzuka) I easily shaved off something like five seconds. There is much more traction, I used the GR86, a moderately powered RWD car, and whilst before the update it was manageable but very very tricky to put power down, now in comparison it almost feels like an AWD car. I don't know whether that is realistic but at least now racing in the wet is not as stressful and actually fun 😂

Why can't people compare GT7 old vs GT7 new

[VikingRacer]

To bad they didn't put more variations of the track, guess they are saving them for a later update so they can say they are giving something
