The wait is finally over for the Gran Turismo community, as the upcoming March update for Gran Turismo 7 promises to deliver a treat that has been long anticipated. Enthusiasts can expect the update to roll out early Thursday morning, as usual, bringing with it three new cars. Among these is a particularly extraordinary addition: the Toyota GT-One—a strikingly beautiful Le Mans prototype from the late ’90s, famous for its stint at the renowned 24-hour race. Having celebrated my birthday just last weekend, this update feels like a personal gift!
This is a significant moment not only for me but for fans who have cherished the GT-One since its debut in Gran Turismo 2. The game featured both the 1998 and 1999 versions, alongside the highly sought-after road version. The 1998 model showcased more appealing liveries, but it was the 1999 edition, piloted by the all-Japanese team including the legendary Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya, that took home the LMGTP class win and 2nd place overall at Le Mans.
