Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.27 Patch Notes: New cars, new events

After a week of teasing and waiting, the Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.27 Patch Notes are now here and the update is ready to download.

Polyphony's monthly update has come a little earlier than usual due to Christmas, but we aren't complaining!

Let's see what they have in store for us!

New cars

As we discovered yesterday, the five new cars that are hitting GT7 today are all extremely exciting.

There is an absolute classic in the Toyota Celica GT-Four Rally Car, some modern road cars in the C8 Stingray and Guilia GTAm, and a true beast in the Bugatti Chiron.

Then there is the Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo car that many will be getting for free.

Scapes

Norway has been added as featured Curations in Scapes.

Multiplayer

We addressed an issue in which "Quitting the race might affect your ratings" would be incorrectly displayed when leaving a Lobby.

We fixed an issue in which repeatedly racing without leaving the room in Lobby would cause the game's performance to drop.

Steering Controllers

We fixed an issue in which fitting the BMW M2 Competition '18 with a Fully Customizable Manual Transmission would cause the clutch pedal on steering controllers to stop responding.

Sound

We repaired an issue where the sound of the player's own engine would not play correctly.

Others

Various other issues have been addressed.
