This is a bug right? They probably took this shot in Scapes mode and forgot to enable the Parking Lights on

PD wouldn't forget to include one of the coolest and most iconic Daytime-Running Lights of all time, right?

Right...?

It’s cool to wake up and start my PS5P with the original Sony PlayStation startup music and logo. Cool indeed.

On that topic.
I know Super GT cars have had a prominent place in the Gran Turismo franchise, and it's likely that the 2024 GT500's show up at some point in the future, but have they ever had an official licensing partnership like NASCAR & WRC had back in GT5, or Super Formula currently has?
Genuinely don't know.

Super GT is in the same odd place Pikes Peak is in, where we know PD had the license a decade ago, and circumstantial evidence (sponsorships, other sims not using the content) would suggest they still have it, but we don't know the state of either for 100% sure.

For completeness, they are not currently mentioned at all in the IP/licensing credits in-game (Super Formula are, licensed from Japan Race Promotion).
 
By the looks of those photos, maybe a special Ioniq event at one of the Nurburgring layouts.

PD's relationship with Super GT is perhaps more curious than Pikes Peak. An agreement between the Gran Turismo and Super GT brands would only bring commercial advantages to both. The GT community, I would say, is almost unanimous in favor of the GT500 and GT300 cars.

I also include the doubt why Sugo, Okayama and Tokachi never appeared in the franchise GT.

The Hyundai coming in january doesn't necessarily means that there is no update in december. Fingers crossed.

“Prize to be delivered after next update” (prize now known to be the Hyundai)

“The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N will be newly added to Gran Turismo 7 in its 2025 January update”

therefore next update = January update
 
my theory of not updating the month of December!!
my first gt will be available throughout December to attract more players! the January update will take place on Thursday 2 at the start of the month with a big update!! like the one who came on the 2 November 2023 !!

I figured the next update would be the My First GT update. After that update comes the next update that includes the Hyundai. No biggies. Just gotta wait as usual.

Could be like any demo in the PS Store. Maybe no special section in the World Map for us current GT players.
 
No update in December is fine with me. My credit got wiped out by the last update so I need time to build it back up just to get wiped out again 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
last year PD also had one month break in december. I guess this is holidays for them.

Something of potential note is that no new circuits are being used in the upcoming live event, as there's no TBD slots. This can mean 2 things.

1: There simply isn't a new track in the next [presumably December] update. This is the most likely outcome.

Or

2: There is a new track, but it's one that isn't suitable for normal competitive racing, such as a Pikes Peak point-to-point. This is far less likely, but possible.

I missed this when scrolling through. There are no details at all, circuit or car, for the Nations Cup Qualifying Time Trial.

Now we know the car, the new Hyundai, but not the circuit. I'd be surprised if there's a new circuit along with the new car in the same session, but it is still technically possible since it's a TBA slot at this time, so who knows.

If I need a certain car from the used car dealership and don't know when it'll appear, how frequently do I have to check its stock in order not to miss a listing? Every five days? Every seven? I just want to make sure that I get a chance to buy every car before it goes out of stock.

I've been thinking more about the idea of new groups, especially since we can clearly see that many of the current groups don't necessarily entail cars that raced in the same group. The most obvious example being the Toyota GT-One TS020 being in the same group as modern Super GT GT500/DTM racers, but funny enough, I'm actually enjoying this sort of weirdness, even if it means notable changes in power/weight to make certain cars competitive. I'm also still unbothered by the sheer variety of Gr.1, especially since I think any issues could be addressed simply by having more events that limit players to certain selections of racecars within a certain group. Just as we've seen Gr.1 events that specifically focus on the Group C racers.

Ah, but I digress. I really do think there should be new groups for other race cars, of the especially historic variety. I maintain the notion that there's really just two groups that I think would be great: a "Gr.1V" and "Gr.3V," with the V standing for "Vintage." For the former group, you'd see racers like the Porsche 917, Ford Mark IV, Jaguar XJ-13, and the Ferrari 330 P4. Whereas in the latter, you'd see the Alfa Romeo TZ2, the Shelby Daytona Coupe, the Ferrari 250 GTO, etc.

If the issue is about the PP categorization for racecars (ofc, TS020 had a bit lower PP in 831.63 to the modern GT500/DTM's 850-860 range, and the Gr. categorization is solely about the car's PP, so they both fit for Gr. 1), then should the solution be about adding more Car Type hashtags (e.g. #Midship), with more distinct difference (e.g. TS020 being #GT1 Prototype or #GT1 Group), and have the events use more Car Type regulation to restrict what kind of cars can enter?

If you meant to have events limit the car type to the intended one, then obviously solely-PP based class like the Gr division will have TS020 being put on similar category as modern GT500/DTM because their measurement is close.

Those car hashtags are definitely a good idea. Just wish that you could select them in lobby restriction settings etc in the same way you can choose Gr.1, Gr.2 etc. Would be great for those that host "road car only" lobbies, as one example. Polyphony already use them for career event restrictions, as well as choosing eligible cars individually (e.g. Silvia Sisters), or individual manufacturers (e.g. Ferrari Circuit Challenge).

At the same time, I'd still keep the Group system to go along with Tags, just because the Group system allows for more car choice when it comes to race cars, which is good for certain scenarios. Having both Groups & Tags as options would allow the player to decide which car restriction method they prefer, rather than getting rid of one system for another, as both have their benefits.
And the same for keeping Performance Points as an option, for cases where you want road cars & race cars together.

Basically, just having as many different utilities to sort cars by for lobbies as possible, most of which are already at Polyphony's disposal in career mode.

The used car dealership goes through a full rotation once every month (or so).

I don't know about that big update. But maybe a new track? We got Lake Louise in november 2023, Eiger in may or june? So thats roughly 6 months between those additions. January it's been 6 months since Eiger... So perhaps a new track?
