I assume something significant on the July update then?

Well, they either saw everyone complaining about no confirmation about a June update or this is actually a pretty big update. I don't ever recall PD making an announcement during a broadcast

Well this makes a change from the usual silhouette teasers from Kaz.
Does make one think it could be a bit bigger of an update than normal, but we shouldn't set expectations for our own sanity lol.

Whatever is in the update, it seems that it's not going to be used in the live event races themselves, unless we see a couple new cars in the Watkins Glen Nations Cup race.

In other news, this is a cool development from earlier today:

Genesis X Gran Racer Vision Gran Turismo Revealed at BIMOS in South Korea

Genesis pulled the wraps off a new racing-spec version of its Vision Gran Turismo concept car, the "X Gran Racer", today at the Busan International Mobility Show (BIMOS) in Busan, South Korea. Based on the earlier X Gran Berlinetta Concept, this new design is part of the company's Magma high-perf

Think the Audi VGT might finally have a somewhat similar looking Gr.1 rival, with more of a Hyper-Touring Car look than the normal LM Sportscars/Prototypes.
Reminds me of when the Suzuki VGT was added, making the VW GTI Roadster no longer the only roofless Gr.3 car.

No idea if this new version of the Genesis VGT is related to the upcoming update details announcement. I'm guessing not though, as it has already been shown.

As far as I recall, the closest ANY world tour event has gotten to update material is usually debuting said content at the event back in GT Sport. Even then, the update itself was never announced so this is indeed a first.

Cannot wait. Gonna get us that GT-R ‘07!

Jokes aside, maybe a hefty early July update will replace the standard 3-car updates for June and July. Fingers crossed for the Montreal circuit, but free content is free content so can’t complain
 
At least now we know when to expect the update

To me it looks more like the Valkyrie AMR Hypercar

which eventually should come to GT aswell - most likely in the next game

They are encouraging people to watch the stream because of update information, so it’s probably something special. That might also be the scary part, because PD’s urge to showoff usually revolves around polarizing concepts. At best it could mean that a new circuit is inbound.

Who else is hyped for the various other issues that will be addressed?
:D

Yeah I agree, if they’re saying tune in to find out, something BIG must be coming. Still hoping it’s Montreal & hopefully some good cars.
 
Nice i expect a good update now considering they will showcase it next weekend, and if we had to wait 2 weeks longer than normal to get a larger update would be worth it, wonder if we see another sophy upgrade.

Question is those the update drop the same day as the live event, excited to watch it now.

Now i think a new track is very possible.

With PD being focused on the National TT's in Montreal and Championships they won't be doing an update for a while. Not this month!

That's significantly more positive than I would have expected. They made a profit in a financial year where they didn't put a game out - in the current game development environment where studios are dying left and right even when they do put a game out, that is really good going.

Am I missing something here?

These accounts are for the running of the studio, not the performance of GT7. The title remains a consistent top 20 seller and will be generating tens of millions in profit. Those profits will be registered by Sony who are the publisher.

Maybe they just want a better audience for the GTWS but the update in itself won't be anything special.

Also, they may try to avoid any bug introduced by a new patch during the event by delaying it.
