GT7 Gran Turismo 7 | Update 1.27 released

[GT-Alex]

The new Gran Turismo 7 content update is available to download, a bit earlier than it usually would in the month due to the holidays. We've already covered the
5 new cars as they were teased a week ago, and... there's nothing much more to it.

The update has few documented fixes, with the patch notes ignoring an important correction to a couple lobby qualifying glitches (you could have a qualyfying session run but still have the grid taking the manually set by host order, and you would need to refresh the lobby before every race to wipe the previously registered times).

An other undocumented thing is the addition of new engine swaps, which are quite crazy this month - and with the 2 new café menus, there are 2 engine tickets up for grabs now, giving you a decent chance to get one of the following engines:

• Hellcat (Charger) -> Willys MB
• K20C1 (Civic FK8) -> Abarth 595 SS '70
• F140B (Enzo) -> F40 '92
• M97 (911 RSR) -> 930 Turbo
• L539 (Aventador SV) -> Countach 25th Anniversary

Still undocumented, but quite important, the mid and high speed BoP have been altered to match what was used during the Monaco World Finals. The game also features specific Christmas menu music during the holidays, so if you want to bring a jazzy twist to your festivities, you can run GT7 in the background.

You can read the full patchnotes for 1.27 below:
