Gran Turismo 7 v1.15 Released, Three New Free Cars Added Including Toyota GR010 Hybrid

Polyphony Digital announced on Friday that they have reduced the Force Feedback on the Thrustmaster T-GT, FANATEC Podium and FANATEC GT DD Pro wheels to deal with an extra-strong FFB issue. This small change doesn’t appear to have bumped the version number, which currently still seems to be 1.15.

The May update to GT7 brings three new free cars to the sim, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning GR010 HYBRID…

Suzuki Vision Gran Turismo…
