Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I've stumbled on a video of the 1932 Ford hot rod in GT7. It's currently housed in Ford's auto museum storage which is an odd place to find a car to model - and an odd choice of one to model if this is where PD found it. It still has the Arizona plates. It also illustrates the level of creative liberty nigh authenticity that PD strives for - look at all the swirl marks in the paint, clouding of the polished aluminum and chrome, and the wear on the interior leather. PD maybe have modeled the car accurately but they textured it to pristine condition. This car is in great shape regardless but it goes to show that PD can and does "fix" models and textures to restore the car to perfect video game showroom condition. I wonder how worn a car they can restore? Scroll to 23:40:

Yeah, that's the one. The description text in the car collection screen mentions the numberplate directly and that it's displayed in the Henry Ford museum.
 
I had a pretty good idea for if the next GT game has trophies relating to hitting certain speeds. One could be for hitting the McLaren F1’s top speed in a naturally-aspirated car, while another trophy could be for beating the Bugatti Veyron’s speed record in a turbocharged car. I think this would make a lot more sense than GT7’s trophies for hitting 500 and 600 km/h. That said, the trophy for hitting 200 mph seems fine as-is.

EDIT: Honestly, I sort of wonder if some parts of the GT7 trophy list is just filler for the sake of satisfying certain requirements set by Sony, like the ones for driving certain distances. I get that a lot has been added post-launch - such as recording golds/silvers/bronzes for online time trials, or the master licences - but still.

Where you reading that then matey? Please be a Vantage.
 
“very happy”?

Will people be very happy with the Civic EG, GNX and say any car up to date that’s not a race car and/or a Toyota?

No sign of a track this month, but if what I'm reading about the cars is correct then I think people will still be very happy with this update.

Great to hear! The track could be added in June as was the Watkins Glen.
 
If the next track is indeed Montreal it would make a lot of sense to reveal it at Montreal on July 6 and have it be part of the July update.

  • Mazda Autozam AZ-1 ‘92
  • Daihatsu Cuore TR-XX Avanzato R ‘97
  • Suzuki Alto Works Suzuki Sports Ltd ‘97

I have envisioned the future of this teaser…*

In all seriousness, potentially exciting times but depends on what else they bring.

Maybe they'll do what they did back in GT Sport, and showcase the new circuit at a live event before it gets added into the public version.

If that's the case, it would be next month's update, not this month

Actually not even, since the event is in July, it would not be included in June update, but in the first week of August update that encloses July and August

Ok then, bracing myself for disappointment then, likely more “meh” cars am not going to use. Godforbid if we get a modern GT3 car, I’ll genuinely be amazed.

If Motegi is later this year, then I truly hope 2022 onwards GT500’s come.

Well let's hope that we'll have the first themed update on this game.

Could only mean a few things:

A new GT race car for the Gr. 3 class
A new Hypercar/LMDh
GT500’s or Class One race cars, or just about anything for Gr. 2
Lotus and/or Koenigsegg

I disagree; different parts of the community have different preferences, there can be an update that makes people happy that isn't about modern race cars.

Although them adding GT3 cars immediately after their flagship GT3 online series ends would be quite funny.

You really are hopeful, lots of folk would love that content, then when they ask they get told to go play ACC or whatever. Don’t think Kaz really listens anyway, but am not holding my breath this month for anything really good.

Expect the disappointment and you won’t be disappointed.

Would make sense to avoid issues with BoP, they release them right after the official championship and them make BoP adjustments during exhibition series

I would say it’s more of the varied type that has at least one car for just about everyone. I’m personally excited for all of them.

So you’re saying here there is a race car, yeah?

Oooh using the hmm 👀 ok, I’ll just sit back and wait. Really hope it’s a good one, an M4 GT3 or 296 GT3 would be really nice, even the Vantage GT3.

Any car is a race car if you put go-faster stripes on it ;)

Touché.

But jokes aside…the Vantage / 458 & M6 do need to be wheeled into the retirement home, so either one of those newer models would be an amazing welcome to the game.

But it could be from that list that was datamined, so keep expectations in check is hard but god I hope it’s good. Something for everyone to be happy about.

So ti sounds to me that this update could be quite similar to the march update from last year. Hopefully it will have more than 3 cars this time🤞🤞🤞
