The latest update to GT7 has arrived in the form of Update 1.43. This update doesn't add anything major but does bring some new cars.
There is also a patch to the game, adding some new content for players to enjoy and tweaking a few things under the hood.
Let's take a look at everything Update 1.43 has to offer.
Update 1.43 cars
This update brings three new cars to the game as usual. They are the Audi TTS Coupe '09, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR GSR '06, and the Renault R4 GTL '85.
All three are available in the Used Cars dealership for a reasonable price, making them available to even the newest GT7 player.
They certainly aren't the most exciting cars around, but tucked away in the patch notes is the fact that the BVLGARI Aluminum Vision Gran Turismo is also now available for purchase in Brand Central.
New events
There are three fresh races in Gran Turismo 7 for players to enjoy. Unfortunately, none of them are good for grinding credits but they should be entertaining.
The new races are a Japanese Clubman Cup 550 at Laguna Seca, a Sunday Cup Classic at Tsukuba, and a European Clubman Cup 600 at Suzuka.
