Fine then...
Please use this thread to make your predictions for, and discuss, Gran Turismo 7's next update.
We're calling it the August/1.62 2025 update because why not. We don't know that it'll arrive in August or be called 1.62, but both fit existing information. While Kazunori Yamauchi has stated that the updates aren't monthly by design, we have grown to expect it - though August is a month previously skipped over for a GT7 update.
The pre-update social media posts highlighting content from the previous update have already begun to arrive, and these have recently been harbingers of the next update. We've already seen the first two cars highlighted and no update in 2025 has seen the second car posted any further out than 13 days before the update (although they have been much earlier in previous years).
GTWS will have its second live event in early September 2025, and we're anticipating that some content will be teased at that event. This could suggest that the next update will not arrive until after that, or that it will be before and the event will use some of the new content and/or tease the content for the subsequent update.

- DON'T POST WISHLISTS
This thread is for predictions (guesses with evidence; see below), not hopes, wishes, wants, or abject rectomancy. If you can't post here without doing that, just don't bother - there are MANY OTHER THREADS for doing that, and this one is not that.
There are no second chances on this because we've wasted too much time with people who want to divert threads from their purpose and we've gone out of our way to give them enough other places to get it out of their system... Continuing to ignore this very simple instruction will lead to thread bans, and repeat offenders will collect a site-wide ban.
Apropos of that, wishlists go in the Car & Track Wishlist Thread which we made specifically for that purpose:
It seems that making wishlists is a particularly popular hobby for many of you
No matter what the thread may be, someone, somehow, seems to shoehorn a list of cars and/or tracks that they'd like in the game into it - and we have more than one thread that's basically a wishlist with extra steps (all-new cars, fantasy cars, pick your DLC pack, etc.).
So... now you can post them in this thread.
We're going to need some ground rules though...
Firstly, bear in mind GTPlanet's FAQ: our rules "remind everyone to put a little more thought into what they’re contributing to the... - Predictions are guesses with evidence. Given that the entire past history of free Gran Turismo game updates (with one exception) has given us the expectation of the number of cars (single digits) and tracks (one or zero), if you're posting ridiculously long lists of cars and multiple tracks then that's a wishlist. See the first rule. So are lists of brands (multiple) which have never been in the game series before or which have been cut and are showing no signs of returning («coughs» Lotus «coughs»).
- bUt We DoN't HaVe AnY eViDeNcE. Sure you do. There's been more than 30 content updates now. That shows you what volume of content you can expect and what type of content PD is focusing on. Over the last year it's been filling in generational gaps of certain model lines (see the C5 from 1.59), but there's also been quite a few oddballs lately (Unimog, Kangoo, Carry), some day-to-day modern stuff (so... many... CUVs), some well-placed cars from our Suggestions forum (hey look, another place to express your car/track wishes!), and some 4K-era upgrades to cars from previous games.
