Gran Turismo 7 Free Update 1.70: Pick Your Le Mans Hypercar

Gran Turismo 7 isn’t just about crossing the finish line first; it’s about mastering every nuance of the sport you love.

Today launches the most anticipated event of the season: the 24‑hour Le Mans endurance race. To immerse players in the thrill, the latest update unleashes a grid brimming with contemporary legends, from the Ferrari 499P that revived the Prancing Horse’s glory, to Porsche’s championship‑winning 963, BMW’s hybrid V8 juggernaut, and Peugeot’s boundary‑pushing 9X8, all accompanied by a 911 Turbo S Safety Car to keep the action in check.

Update 1.70 also brings a redesigned menu, five fresh World Circuit events—including the legendary 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit—and all of these enhancements will be available for free starting today at 11:00 pm PDT / June 11 at 7:00 am BST / 3:00 pm JST.

Curious which hypercar matches your driving style? Answer a handful of quick questions, track your responses, and we’ll pair you with the perfect machine built for your personality.

For players who thrive on precision, rhythm, and that unmistakable “factory team” vibe, the latest racing title delivers an exhilarating experience that keeps you glued to the track.

The standout feature of the game is the meticulously modeled Ferrari 499P. While it behaves as a conventional rear‑wheel‑drive machine for the majority of the lap, the car automatically switches to four‑wheel drive once you hit speeds above roughly 118 mph. This clever mechanic grants the vehicle extra traction in high‑speed corners such as the Nürburgring’s demanding bends and the iconic Porsche Curves at Le Mans, allowing drivers to push the limits without sacrificing control.

The core challenge remains simple yet demanding: navigate the course cleanly, stay on the racing line, and finish the race unscathed—even if you’re not the fastest on the grid. The game’s advanced testing suite, featuring a world map with circuits like Sardegna’s Road Track and the World Touring Car 800, provides players with a comprehensive platform to hone their skills before tackling the full roster of tracks.

For drivers who prize steadiness, confidence, and a vehicle that rewards disciplined driving, Porsche’s 963 stands as a testament to racing heritage refined for the present.

The 963 is the culmination of racing royalty evolving. It fuses hybrid technology with decades of Le Mans triumphs to create a contemporary prototype that continues to dominate when it matters most.

Mission: Hold your ground at the start. When the moment arrives, act with clarity and decisiveness.

For those who relish aggression, heavy braking, and a car that feels both powerful and tactile, the 963 delivers a visceral, physical driving experience.

BMW’s legendary racing machine made its mark with a groundbreaking victory, and it’s engineered to keep its composure even when the track turns into a chaotic maze. At Indianapolis, the marque achieved a historic 1‑2 finish, a feat highlighted by the final laps fought through thick lapping traffic. This vehicle was designed to flourish amid the disorder.

For players craving a fresh challenge, the game rewards those who relish steep learning curves and the thrill of mastering unconventional mechanics. It’s a playground for the bold, the curious, and the determined.

A century‑old rule has been shattered. The 9X8 debuted without a rear wing—a feature absent from top‑level endurance racing for over five decades. In high‑performance cars, the rear wing acts as a stability dial: it adds grip in corners while sacrificing straight‑line speed. By omitting it, the 9X8 channels all its downforce through underbody aerodynamics and body shaping, a bold move that redefines the balance between speed and handling. Fortunately, this iteration includes a rear wing for those who prefer the traditional setup.

Mission: Race at an event, try the Monza Circuit Experience. Then head to your Garage and adjust the Brake Balance one or two steps forward. Finally, replay the same event and notice the difference.
