Oh man — GT7 Update 1.70 has landed TODAY (June 10) and I am SO here for it! With the actual 24-hour race kicking off this week, Sony's given us a seriously stacked new grid of modern endurance legends just in time: the Ferrari 499P that brought back Prancing Horse glory at Le Mans, Porsche's championship-winning 963 — which is honestly where hybrid tech meets decades of dominance and keeps pulling out wins whenever it counts — BMW's mighty hybrid V8 powerhouse, Peugeot's boundary-pushing oddball with a totally unique powertrain approach to racing, plus an actual 911 Turbo S Safety Car that'll be keeping the whole circus in line. What I'm most excited about (and what actually got me re-reading this) is how the update has turned into more than just cars — there's now a genuine personality quiz inside GT7 where you answer five questions about your racing style, and it literally matches you to whichever Hypercar best suits who you are as a driver. I took mine myself because of course I did: first question asks whether your favourite "win" is setting clean laps with that satisfying green delta, outstrategizing the whole field across an endurance stint like at Suzuka — where there's now a dedicated drive challenge mission to stay on track without crashing despite yourself — or perhaps nailing perfect photos and livery setups. Second one gauges whether you'd rather feel surgical precision in every turn or aggressive, alive energy that makes replays look incredible; third asks if your ideal circuit is technical with flowing rhythm sections versus high-speed heavy-braking zones where commitment means everything. Fourth deals with how you handle the car going off — do you immediately adjust brake balance and push on like a Ferrari driver would, think tires and fuel first before making changes (Porsche approach), crank up aggressive setups to send it in BMW fashion, or build entirely new liveries for aesthetics? Fifth question's my favourite because every single one is so specific: "I can find 0.2s" versus "I can go longer without mistakes," "I can take that corner faster," and then the genuinely fun ones — either I want to make this look cooler, or keep it cleaner depending on where you land overall in your responses.
The whole thing is beautifully connected because now there are five new events across World Circuits including one at actual 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit itself (which means we're getting that proper Le Mans feel inside the game), plus dedicated drive challenges for each car to match — Porsche rewards patience and discipline especially well on tracks like Daytona Road Course where rushing in early costs you everything until time comes then commit with decisive moves, while BMW's advanced testing session lands at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta perfectly suited. Update went live starting today at 1:00am PDT or June 11 morning depending which timezone your home happens to be — officially 7AM BST across Atlantic Europe plus all of Asia-Pacific coming through in the afternoon with that standard three-way breakdown timing Sony always uses for global releases, so whether you're watching from London catching early evening news broadcasts while tuning into racing streams online or sitting out Tokyo at night already deep enjoying your favourite video games on whatever console works best depending on mood — every single player gets equal access right away since it's completely free like the rest of GT7 updates always have been and still will be.
