After skipping February, following a busy winter, a new free Gran Turismo 7 update will arrive on Thursday, 12th March 2026.
Patch 1.68 includes three new cars and four new single-player race events, and as ever, this is an evolving article which we will update when the full changelog is available.
Three new cars
- Chevrolet Camaro 1969 Race-Mod
- Mazda ɛ̃fini RX-7 Type R (FD) ’91
- Renault Captur S Edition TCe 140 ’21
The curio among this trio is undoubtedly the ‘race-modified’ 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. Reminding us, a little, of original Gran Turismo ‘RM’ options, but mixed with contemporary restomodding themes, this is a custom upgrade created by the Polyphony Digital development team.
This means a wide-body kit, centre-exit exhaust, stripped out interior and a supercharged V8 producing 657.8bhp.
On the opposite end of the scale is the prosaic Renault Captur – the compact SUV, the automotive equivalent of a microwave.
Mercifully, there is a second interesting vehicle in the form of the FD-generation Mazda RX-7. A similar model is already in the game, but this is the pre-facelift model.
If you’re wondering about the ’ɛ̃fini’ in the model name, that was a premium Japan-only sub-brand Mazda created in the 1990s. The ephemeral name briefly had the RX-7 as part of its lineup, alongside some saloons, and strangely, two Citroens (the Xantia and XM).
Of note, the latest Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo concept is not part of this update.
Four new World Circuits events
To fit with the new cars, there will be the following four single-player races in the World Circuits areas. We’ll update this with further details upon the update’s release. There appears to be an absence of new photographic Scapes this time.
- European Sunday Cup 400 – Dragon Trail – Gardens Reverse
- Japanese Clubman Cup 550 – Kyoto Driving Park – Yamagiwa Reverse
- American Clubman Cup 700 – Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta
- World Touring Car 800 – Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve
