The latest update for Gran Turismo 7, version 1.49, has brought a whole new level of realism to the game, thanks to an overhaul of its physics system. While the update has generally been well-received by players for its improved gameplay experience, it has also introduced some rather peculiar glitches that are causing certain cars to behave erratically – from bouncing violently to soaring through the air.
Here are some key points to consider about the recent update:
- The new physics updates have enhanced the game by introducing more natural cornering physics and stability levels for acceleration and deceleration. The changes to tire physics and steering have also contributed to a more challenging and rewarding driving experience overall.
- However, alongside these positive changes, some bugs have surfaced as well. Reports from gtplanet and Reddit’s r/granturismo have highlighted instances where high-horsepower vehicles, particularly those with engine swaps or extreme suspension settings, are experiencing bizarre behavior like flying or bouncing uncontrollably.

The issue seems to occur when cars are accelerating from low speeds, particularly when under AI control. These strange glitches have been observed during dynamic “Scapes Movies” scenes and even within the game’s garages, showcasing an unexpected quirk in the game’s programming.
Despite the unexpected behavior caused by the update, the developers of Gran Turismo have acknowledged the issue and are actively working on a fix. According to a post on X, they have stated: “We are now aware of the following issue in the 1.49 Update released on July 25… A fix should be ready soon, so enjoy the comedy while it lasts.”
In conclusion, while the latest Gran Turismo 7 update has introduced exciting enhancements to the game’s physics system, it has also brought about some unintentional hilarity with its quirky glitches. Players can rest assured that the developers are aware of the issue and are working on a solution to rectify these bizarre mishaps. In the meantime, it might be worth enjoying the unexpected comedy that ensues from the game’s unanticipated physics quirks.
