20 Minutes of Useless Information about Gran Turismo 7 

The ultimate supergt video to fall asleep to

Fun fact! There are cars in Gran Turismo 7. This is a reference to the movie Cars, which also had cars in it.

Addition to useless things. 1. You can see the tyrewear in openwheels. 2. In foggy conditions cars equiped with foglights turn on and illuminates in dash. 3. Some cars dash display dimms in tunnels (R8 v10 plus) 4. By changing tyres, the tyres are swapped for a different model. 5. You can map your high beams to toggle instead of flashtoggle 6. Streetcars has horns and GT cars don’t 7. If you dont change oil in your car, it’ll lose horsepower. 8. Some VGT cars dont have interiors. 9. Group 1 cars have indicators on the side of the car representing 1st 2nd and 3rd. 10. There is only one car in the game with a 5 cylinder engine. 11. By changing the exhaust you are changing the sound of the car, same with turbo and bov 12. You cant drive the Nordschleife Turistenfahren layout online, dispite being avalible in singleplayer timetrial. 13. Only competiters who compete in world championship can achive DR of S 14. The amount of spectators and decor along the track changes. Almost none in timetrials but fully packed in world events. These were the ones i could come up with. Great video btw. I learnt something!

Petition to build the Dragon Trail Circuit in that field in Croatia please

4:37 This and many other things I had no idea about !! Really enjoyed this !!

About the Mt Panorama cat. If you go full speed with a gokart into the right of the barrier, you can go through it and hang around with the cat

I never knew this game had this many Easter eggs! Pretty cool.

The 'no stopping' signs on Trial Mountain aren't a reference to the driving mission, but instead that the circuit is meant to take place on a regular road, which is why it has regular lane markings. On frequented roads with no shoulder to pull the car off onto, like in the mountainous segments of Utah SR92, there will often be signs saying 'no stopping' or 'parking only in marked areas' to try and prevent people stopping in the road and blocking traffic, which tourists often do to take pictures, and sometimes due to the road's proximity to rock faces that present the risk of rocks falling onto the road

I mean....a ufo abducting a cow isn't useless information

1. The Gr. 4 Nissan Silvia is the only Gr. 4 car that has a horn. 2. The Toyota HiMedic has voice lines if you press Left, Right or Hazard indicator buttons. There are some variations depending if the sirens are on or off. 3. Emmett Brown (Back to the Future) appears in a DeLorean in one of the Willow Springs: Big Willow races. 4. American players who competed in the 2023 Porsche eSports Cup online time trials were awarded with: #23 Porsche 917K, a variation of the Rothman's Porsche 959, and the Pink Pig Porsche 911 RSR 5. The McLaren Ultimate VGT is now a real car - the McLaren Solus GT. 6. For about a year, the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak and the 1932 Ford Roadster were one of the rarest cars to own in GT7. The reason is that a bug prevented them from appearing in the Legends Car Dealership again after their first appearance. Edit: I think I have a clip of this one somewhere... but there was a brief time where the Legends Car Dealership did an oopsie by bringing in an invinsible car into rotation. It was purchaseable, but you couldn't drive it (obviously).

There is also an Easter egg on autopolis after the bridge (the one with eyes on it). If you look on the right before the last turn you can see really small cars racing on a circuit inside autopolis.

here is my favourite - when doing daily races and some goon knocks you off the track in the first lap, if you drive around the track and knock over all of the distance marker boards, you can then watch certain drivers career off the tracks when they can no longer judge their distances from corners :) Keeps things interesting!

16:29 the ferrari is actually the most expensive now, its back to 20 mil like it was in sport

Useless information about this video: 1. When talking about the De Tomaso Mangusta, Steve says Magnusta instead. 2. When talking about the Dragon Trail circuit, Steve mentions that the circuit is fictional and does not exist in the reality which is both conveying the same information.

As an aviation nerd, I need to point this out: at 15:35 the planes are firstly not real, they are a hybrid F-16/F-18, moreover the formation flying overhead is clearly composed of F-18s, so it's not these planes (Sorry had to do it)

The Trial Mountain Monkey has also been in Gran Turismo 3 from 2001

The rx7 has a sound that gets played when you rev it too high There's a faint chime that gets played in the ae86 after you go over a certain speed (forgot which) The clock in the car if viewed from the garage or whatever is actually synced to your time irl (the time that's in the top right)

Did you know, that if you place top 3 in a Go-kart, in an arcade race on Special Stage Route X consisting of 20 laps, you will be rewarded with a free legendary car :O

20:38 you can spot Igor Fraga with the cap, Ryota Kokubun sitting down and Jimmy Broadbent standing at the back

I can't be the only one who has played hours upon hours of GT7 and never noticed most of these things.

I gt a couple that you didn't mention: 1) The wind effect is actually removed (possibly completely) when you drive inside a tunnel, this can be easily noticed in the Stage X 2) The wind actually affects the slipstream area - if you are following a car and the wind is perpendicular to your movement vector, you better adjust your position behind the car to better use the slipstream since the wind has affected it - the faster the wind and closer to perpendicular vector, the more effect it has

How to tell that Williams F1 have a good car this year: Alex Albon got a lot of time before the new season to do this

That’s 20 minutes of my life I’m not getting back, Steve. I really should have believed the video title but… I trusted you, Steve. I trusted you.

1: The Nissan Z Performance has working💧 anti-hydroplane technology 💧 in GT7, just like it does in real life 2: You can save gasoline shifting during earlier RPM's in a manual transmission, just like real life

I see a lot of effort went into this video. I must say this is life changing.

As a BIG FAN of Gran Turismo, that was so good. Thank you

11:11 they really got man double-cheeked up in his Dior ensemble. 17:08 i wish i had whatever equipment they're using for recharging the car. elon please fix

Very informative. Iv been online almost everyday for 2 years and knew less than 10% of that. Great video 💪🍻

16:55 this is a result of opponent headlights having a very short light attenuation radius. It's standard optimization to minimize as many overlapping (before shadows are applied) lights as possible. Ideally, the nearest 1 or 2 opponents could probably get away with a longer radius to counter this issue, but its definitely not an oversight or hard limitation. Rather a simple optimization

Hands down the best GT7 easter egg video ever! 🎉

Absolutely loved this video. Legend. Found the cat in the "Hellcat" as well 😂

-SF-R has a post-it note for a center console sticker. -One of the Vipers doesn't have a finished decal area for the side emblems. It can be painted, looks fine, but in decal application it is not trimmed. -Work Meister M1R and S1R don't color the same as GT Sport. You could select the bronzed ones, change the color, and the lip would still be bronze like a custom 2 piece. Now it colors the whole thing as a 1 piece. -When a "Custom Parts - Rear" is selectable with a diffuser, it often can add 100 more downforce to the rear, and sometimes the front too! -Wheel size/Width/Offset can change PP -Roll Cage can change PP -Not all wings available on a car provide the same adjustability. PS: Steve, tell PD to make the BRZ Drift Car engine swappable into the '16 Camaro SS (the ZL1 is fine as it is)! We can make a silly turbo Mustang now, can we get a silly turbo Camaro?

I need an 8 hour version of this to get serenaded by while i sleep

Nice one. When you complete a race in VR mode (use a great sounding car for better effect)... Exit out of the normal relpay, but in the next menu, select relay and go down to VR Reply (still wearing the headset and earphones at this stage). Then select okay and be amazed at the sound and visuals! Cheers, dd

"alright, we need as much detail as possible here for Gran Turismo 7, they've already had a taste of what's to come in Sport" "aight how about we make a UFO abduct an otter from the ocean" "you're a genius"

Players: PD, please, make better penalty system. PD: there's a spaceship in the sky!

Surprised this great video hasn't had many more views, super interesting at 3:40 into it i realised that the lightning happens - for example, in just last weeks World manufacturers Cup at the Nurburgring/Nordschleife (Season 3, Round 4, 2024) - i uploaded my win in this one after the weird lightning phenomenon occurred. it seems to happen when an incident happens.. in my case it was tapping another car or a barrier (barrier in mid lap 3) & yes, i was thrilled to say the least! Fantastic video 🇦🇺👍

this begs for a cut of just the paranormal bits with the xfiles theme playing on loop lol

I'm pretty sure that public lobby races count for the racing marathon, but not the practice as the game doesn't save any data from public lobby practice sessions. This also includes car milage and engine + oil wear.

On one of the cone challenges you can drive out of the area the challenge is at and "free roam" around the track willow springs if i remember correctly. You cant use the ditch to jump the fence, but you can spend 40 minutes trying 😂😂

Fun weather facts: - The track does dry more quickly if cars are present on it, however it appears it only checks that a car is in a particular micro-sector of the track, therefore if you drive out on track and park in one section it will dry more quickly there than the rest of the track. - The dry line effect in the game mimics the assist driving line rather than the actual racing line. - The rain pattern and wind direction/speed is generated when a lobby opens. Toggling between different weather settings / equal conditions etc won't regenerate this, you need to open a new lobby - The temperature of a lobby/race can be learned with the on board view of the Supra Gr 4 and Porsche Cayman Gr 4. As far as I know, no Gr 3 car has this information - On some tracks the effect of driving behind other cars in the wet is extremely exaggerated. For example a driver in P12 of Nurb 24hr can as much as 20 seconds faster over the course of a lap than the driver in P1

Truly some of the facts of all time.

Ok who stops on a corner for 20 mins facing in every direction to see if stuff appears? Or drives around looking in the trees or cliffs? I’m thankful somebody does. Because it’s awesome to see the sneak a peek stuff the programmers put in. I don’t understand how people find this stuff but glad you do. Thanks Super GT for posting their finds.

That headlight shadow "glitch" is mimicking real life. The amount of cars that bleed out my lights and usually light up the roof and rear view mirror, so I give them a little single finger wave. They should be able to see that

15:38 the jets in the airport are F16s but the ones that fly over are F15/F14/F18s

SpaceX double touchdown in GT7, aliens n cows , cat.. are u fucking kidding me :D this is EPIC

1:55 i love that the game gives you the option to race in pure darkness I can see that being useful for some blindfold speedrun or something.

WE NEED MORE OF THIS

Stoping kids from saying first

4:06 Maybe that might be that big aass flashlight from china

The cat on Mount Panorama has a better 3d model than the Silvia S15 on Forza.

0:38 "The real driving simulator"

When you realize the cats, cows, kangaroos, and bear have a better model than Forza Motorsport's recycled cars lol XD

Hey Steve, FYI it's not Ukraine-russia conflict, it's russian invasion of Ukraine

8:40 "There's an incredibly strange UFO abduction occurring at Grand Valley Highway 1". Unlike all the other regular and frankly boring abductions happening everywhere else.

There are actually other planes that are flown over during start events. The Le Mans grind race has different planes than the ones shown in your clip. There are many cars with unique interior colors based on the base color that can only be purchased from the used car dealer. Making some interior colors especially rare. The C2 corvette has a unique color for every exterior color. The Trans Am mostly has black interior, however the gold color way has tan. The Porsche 993 RS models have rear seat delete lettering, seat back fiberglass paint to match, but the most unique is the yellow. The seatbelts, and door pulls match the yellow exterior and seat backs. There are a few others but I am already tired of typing about them. The most useless information I can give about interior colors is this: The Citroen DS21 has two interior color combinations. Black or tan depending on base color, however, if the car is painted, the interior color will always change to black.

The Lexus LF-A has tones that play for when you should shift. You can hear it the easiest if you use the bumper cams, but you can see the gauges change color from white to green to orange to red in the cockpit cam. A single gold bar is worth 100,000 Cr., but a stack of six is worth 500,000 Cr.. The Sport Mode trophy is given if you win the GT World Championship in singleplayer. The Nissan GT-R GT3 in the Spec 2 opening at the Nurburgring may be a reference to Jann Mardenborough’s flip at the track, as well as being an obvious reference to the Gran Turismo movie that I haven’t seen.

Now this is the sort of Gran Turismo 7 content that gets me intrigued! 🔥

On cars with a handbrake lever, it's clearly in released position while driving. If you look at the interior in the garage, the lever is in parking position. From what I've seen it does not move if you pull the handbrake while driving. I first noticed this on a MR2. Looking forward to the next video as always 👍

the AM Valkyrie's front and rear aero changes based on your speed

This was amazing, I always wanted to do one of these but no need now as that was superb! There's hidden text on alot of circuits put there by the Devs, High Speed Ring has it in the drainage I think or on the barriers, can try to find out for you if you want 👀

Another fact: Wind noise increases when you pull out of the slipstream. Most noticeable in Teslas

Internal ambient temperature gauges in road cars tell you the actual ambient temperature at a track and it updates with the weather. Handy because the lobby temperature bug STILL hasn't been fixed since launch. Ok, so this is probably useful information, not useless.

Oh my goodness THANK YOU SO MUCH for explaining what the damn Sport logo is. THANK YOU.

9:30 and 15:03 This is actually a California Condor that is native to Big Sur and the surrounding areas that Grand Valley is based off of. It is currently a critically endangered species. It also has the largest wingspan of any bird in North America. There have been strong efforts that have been making some great progress in the preservation of the bird, in hopes that one day it will be removed from its endangered status. They can be spotted in the Pfeiffer State Park and surrounding Big Sur areas. Also, the famous Bixby Bridge is only about 30 miles and about 45 minutes away from Laguna Seca Raceway.

The Mclaren VGT Gr1 car has three colours available. The Noir de Noir colour scheme also gives the player a unique driving suit and helmet (with glowing LED lines on it). It also receives no fuel but recharges miraculously quickly during a pit stop (yet is listed as a mid-engine, rear wheel drive car).

4:32 There's also a plane in the background; I don't know if it's landing or taking off. Could be a reference to the arrival of President Ronald Reagan at the 1984 Firecracker 400, where Richard Petty got his 200th and final career NASCAR win.

The UFO/Cow lore is absolutely unreal. I cant wait for a proper sidequest to explore the relationship fully

19:38 "...and just to the right of that, there's another cow." True poetry.

more like steve doing wildlife photography

Deadass i would love a part 2. This is interesting to listen to.

An interesting thing: When u go into the pits and change tires from slicks to inters/wets, for some reason the old tires on ur car will automatically be switched to inters (originally should be slicks on the cars, then put inters/wets on it but somehow the tire model on the car becomes inters), and vice versa

One piece of useless information I like is that when you enter most circuits, the grounds are pretty much perfect but as cars drive over the curbs and grass it gradually rips up the grass and turns it to dirt. Similarly, you can see the sand and dust on the circuit after someone has gone off into the sand banks until the dirt has warn off the tyres.

One extra interesting fact !!! There is no effect for the wind when you go under the tunnels !! For example, chiron top speed increases under the tunnel when there is a headwind and decreases when there is a tale wind

1. Electric cars can charge wireless, with a charge pad below 2. Fighter jets are region specific, there a few different models I have seen 3. When you drive the Porsche VGT, you also have a unique helmet, and overalls

If you drive the Trueno 1600GT and use in car or VR view there is a cup holder on the air vent. This is probably a homage to Takumi stopping the cup of sake spilling in Initial D.

Ironically may be the most informative Gran Turismo video I've ever watched!

That was really well researched, bunch of these were new to me! Very well done - congrats and thank you!

That was very cool, I had no idea of 90% of things you have said

I love these types of Easter egg videos so much and I wish there were more of them this well-made

I'm only 0:29 seconds in and have just paused the video now. I became suddenly and fully aware that i'm not baked enough. To the bong. Brb

The only reason i can imagine how steve got those infos is by a diner with kazunori yamauchi.. 😅

Enjoyed this info,Steve. Some I was clueless about! Looking forward to the next one.

1. The exhaust tips on most of the quad tip cars become dual tips with an exhaust upgrade 2. The McLaren 720s, 650s, 12C, and Nissan GTR R35 are LHD cars even though they're from RHD companies 3. When you drift in GT7, smoke doesn't immediately bellow from the tires

Absolutely sensational Steve. A trivia Masterwork. Genuinely love it, bravo

Hello Super GT, viewer here. When you change from a slick tire to intermediate or wet tire, the animation of the pit stop shows that you are changing from a slick tire to a slick tire even though it is not true. This also happens when changing from a wet or inter to a slick.

When your car is in the garage screen, the interior clocks show the real life time

I've been driving in VR recently and the night time sky box is amazing, this has me taking in the surroundings and I've since yearned for a cryptid update that adds roaming big foot, lochness monsters to water features and moth man staring from trees. Am I the only one? XD

I love that there's easter eggs in the easter eggs... 1997 release of Gran Turismo AND the Porsche being driven during that fact. Such a good video.

I just wanna say that I’m glad you’ve made this video, your voice is perfect for this type of content!

Very creative video dude. Kinda crazy that you managed to even find these extra tiny details of the game.

I've been putting in some hours to GT7 lately so this is awesome. Thank you

Mentioning the clock on the dashboard, I wish the gauges all worked too, showing oil pressure etc. Also would like to see the speedo in mph when this is selected. Great video Steve, thanks

I love this kind of videos, strangely when I have two exact same cars the one with some mileage have a better PP number than the one that have 0 miles, maybe because I had it before some adjustments on PP calculation

Brilliant video Steve. Along with the old Mini Cooper being German, I get annoyed that I can't use a Ford Focus or Ford Sierra in European races because they are classes as being American despite being built and sold in Europe.

Also the clock when you're in the garage is relative to the real world time depending on your region and time zone of course

Great work and very informative. I played a game called "Pong" back in the 70's and I'm betting your review of this game would be relaxing to the soul. Godspeed to you.

This really triggers the nostalgia from when I used to watch gaming easter egg videos when I was a kid, it’s a nice feeling, thanks Steve

Our lass pointed out a useless bit of information, and that is this: Gran Turismo 7 is a game about motor racing

I did not know much of this info. I love easter eggs and glad they added them to Gran turismo 7! UFO one is super cool.
