In brief

Gran Turismo 7's 1.70 update celebrates endurance racing with the arrival of four competition hypercars and a Safety Car, all free on PS5, PS4 and PS VR2. On the menu: four iconic LMDh/LMH prototypes, a new themed Café Menu and five brand-new events on the World Circuits, including one at Le Mans.

Free update number 1.70 for Gran Turismo 7 draws its inspiration from endurance racing, focusing on a quartet of dream machines. Polyphony Digital is offering five models in total, four top-tier prototypes and a Safety Car, all playable at no extra cost on PS5, PS4 and PS VR2 - for those who own it.

In the garages, we find the Porsche 963 LMDh, the BMW M Hybrid V8 LMDh, the Ferrari 499P LMH and the Peugeot 9X8 LMH, and to spice up online lobbies and private sessions, we also get the impressive Porsche 911 (992) Turbo S Safety Car. All these models stand out for their meticulous work on aerodynamics, high-speed handling, hybrid management, and the feel of modern endurance racing.

Indeed, this update doesn't just add cars: a new themed Café Menu also makes its appearance, along with five new events in the World Circuits, including one based on the famous Le Mans event. This gives players fresh challenges to tackle both solo and in multiplayer, and enriches the competitive metagame around the prototypes. An update that lends itself well to night stints and minute-perfect relay stops.
