While all eyes are still on the upcoming Gran Turismo 7 and players are just diving into this week's Daily Races, Polyphony has unveiled the next update time for Gran Turismo Sport.
With it comes a brand new car, that GT Sport players will get to drive before anyone in the real world.
GT Sport Update 1.66
The news came on the game's official website earlier today, with the usual rather vague language.
At the following time, we will perform maintenance on the 'Gran Turismo Sport' servers. A new game update will also be available after the maintenance. Please note that during this time the online services, including [Sport Mode], will not be available.
[Day & Time]July 8th, 2021, 06:00 – 08:00 UTCJuly 7th, 2021, 23:00 – 01:00 PDT* The above time is subject to change.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
However, thanks to previous news we do know that this time new content is coming with the update.
Toyota GR86 set to arrive
Toyota Gazoo Racing racing rather gave the game away last month, but we've known the GR86 would be coming to GT Sport for a while now.
The car will land with the update on 8 July, before its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend and before customers can jump into it on the real-world roads.
The GR86 is what racers will be using in the 2021 Toyota Gazoo Racing Gran Turismo Cup on 22 August.
