Other Improvements and Adjustments
1. Physics Simulation Model
- Adjusted the suspension geometry;
- Adjusted the simulation for tyre heat generation and wear ratio. This adjustment makes it easier to see the remaining tread;

- Adjusted the Performance Points (PP) of some cars;
- Changed the conditions for mechanical damage occurring from a collision or contact if ‘Mechanical Damage’ is set to ‘Light’ or Heavy’ in the race settings.
2. Controllers
- Adjusted the performance of the wireless controller.
3. Sound
- Adjusted the sound effects so that it is easier to hear the difference in sound between Stage 1 to 3 of the ‘Weight Reduction’ modification.
4. Legend Cars
- Legend Cars (Hagerty Collection) prices have been revised based on real-life valuations from Gran Turismo partner, Hagerty.
Hagerty provides valuations and vehicle insurance for classic cars and has sponsored some historic car events in recent years.
New prices will be applied the next time a vehicle goes on sale. The next price revision is scheduled for November 2022.
5. Race Screen
- Fixed an issue wherein the ‘Weather Radar’ on the ‘Multi-Function Display’ would not function properly in event races with weather and time set.
