Do you think we will get a update next week?

I'd say no based on vibes and the fact the the last update was a bigger one and I assumed it meant the studio went into a holiday break, but some people "in the know" around here make me think otherwise.

So I say yes. Standard 3 car update.
 
I agree. 3-4 car update, maybe some more fixes to the suspension physics, a new Scape, then don't expect anything more.

I do wonder if we'll ever get an update that is just "track + cars" again at this point. The last three tracks have all been tied to other announced big features (VR2, Spec II, physics); I just can't tell if that's coincidence or a designed cadence to make those releases as big as possible.
 
So I was curious about the utilisation of the circuits in GT7 - I think we can all agree that the tracks and layouts are well underutilised!!

I did a quick bit of research and here's what I have found:

There are a total of 118 layouts in game (including reverse variants and the Nurb Tourist layout)
There are a total of 213 events (not including the championships and missions)

Number of Layouts that have 0 races - 37
Number of Layouts that have 1 race - 30
Number of layouts that have 2 races - 14
Number of layouts that have 3 races - 14
Number of layouts that have 4 races - 11
Number of layouts that have 5 races - 4
Number of layouts that have >5 races - 8
 
They brought back one of the best events to Weekly Challenges again!

Japanese National eSports Festival will not feature GT7 this year.

Identity V, eFootball, Puzzle & Dragons, and Puyo Puyo are the games this year, by the way.

Several months later, looks like GT's involvement in Japan National eSports Championship is still around, billed as a "Special Grand Prix" (i.e. exhibition):

I expect an update this month as well, but a smaller one,
This month i guess we going back to silhouttes, sometime between saturday-monday if we dont have anything by then, i think we might not see an update,

Will be checking kaz twitter reguarly tomorrow.
 
Quoting myself from a few months back to remind everyone of historical silhouette timings, because I know there's at least one of you already worrying that because there isn't a post yet that we won't get an update...

Because I'm sure there's at least one person out there thinking that Kaz not posting the silhouettes today means there'll be no update, here's a compilation of when he's posted them (day in UTC) to try and assuage that doubt:
  • The Friday before a Thursday update - v1.35, v1.19
  • The Saturday before a Thursday update - v1.44, v1.42, v1.38, v1.34, v1.31, v1.27, v1.21, v1.15
  • The Sunday before a Thursday update - v1.43, v1.40, v1.26, v1.25, v1.20, v1.17
  • The Monday before a Thursday update - v1.48
  • The Tuesday before a Thursday update - v1.32
  • The Wednesday before a Thursday update - v1.46
  • Weird updates that were not on Thursdays - v1.36 (posted over a week in advance; the GR Corolla pre-load and GT movie tie in), v1.29 (posted three days before; the PSVR2 launch), v1.13 (posted one day before; the first content update when they were still in launch mode)
  • No silhouettes posted - v1.49 (trailer revealed at live event; the controversial physics update)

I think I’m gonna bite the bullet on buying my first Porsche 911 GT1 Street, even if it’s currently available in blue and not the silver or white that I would’ve preferred. However, I do think it’d look especially good in the more modern Porsche factory color of Ultraviolet, and even more so on an aftermarket center-lock wheel. I’m mostly imagining a BBS wheel, but those new Pokal weeks look great, too.

EDIT: And while I’m at it, I may as well buy that Honda S2000 that’s currently available. Not only do I think it could look especially good if I repainted it Tahitian Green Pearl, but I also had a spare K24 to swap into it.

If there are silhouettes, it should be later in the day, around 1-3pm BST. I checked his twitter and that seems to be the general time he posts them. The days he posts them on however have been inconsistent these past few, so I wouldn't take no news today as confirmation that there will be no update.

Isn't Kaz in Skegness for the Bank Hol ?
 
Since Kaz doesn't post any, how about we post some?

So here's a silhouette of a typical GTP member waiting for Kaz to post silhouettes:

Can someone PLEASE tell me we i have to grind 3 races all the time to get enough money to get some legendary cars?

I dont mind grinding but give me more options! Every track pp800 race samen time/money would be nice.....

Or do i miss something here?

Circuit experiences are damn good money makers.

You are missing something.
If you play it clever you can vary enough between the various money earning options: menus, missions, CE, license tests, time trials, weekly challenges combined with a modest amount of grinding the big four races. Don't grind mindlessly, it will bore you out.

Yeah, pretty much.

That's the most efficient way, but it's not something you have to do. Aside from the notes above, with Circuit Experience offering around 50m, if you've got more patience on filling your garage there's 2m a week available from Time Trials (and sometimes more; there's three additional ones until the end of the month) as well as an average of 1.4m in credits and bonus rewards (which can include Six-Star Car tickets that give you cars - including Invitation cars - up to ~4m in value; selling duplicates can be fairly lucrative) from Weekly Challenges. That adds up to about 170m a year now.

If you have PS+ there's also the various online seasons which can give you ~3m a season without much trouble; so few people even enter two races that you can get a top ranking in your league just by doing that. Although there's only about 3-4 seasons a year in each championship so that's only about another 20m a year.

While the Daily Marathon roulette tickets are much derided, I've found that they're worth a bit over a million a month on average, if you can get one every day. That's about 12m a year.

You only really "need" to grind if you have to get a couple of million credits right now for a car that's about to go out of Legends Cars. But it'll be back in three months, by which time you could naturally collect ~20m credits from the above methods (excluding CE).
