I've never been convinced that quote was talking about GT8.

The interview it was contained in was all about Spec II, and he was very vague about what it was they were working on (I'm struggling to find the interview, but my memory is that it was just "the next one"). For all we know he could have been referring to My First GT or the concept for the Power Pack.

Good point. We should go and look for it to hear the exact words
 
This is honestly irrelevant. Studios are always working on the next project in some capacity, and Polyphony Digital is no different. Large parts of the team don’t just sit around once a game ships.

After Gran Turismo 7 launched, smaller teams stayed behind to handle updates, bug fixes, live content, and esports support. That’s standard post-release work and doesn’t require the full studio.

The bulk of the core developers - engine programmers, gameplay engineers, graphics and technical artists - have almost certainly already moved on to early development for the next Gran Turismo. That’s where long-lead work like engine upgrades, next-gen rendering, physics evolution, and AI systems happen, and it starts years before anything is announced.

Gran Turismo never really stops. GT7 is being maintained, while the next entry is already being built in parallel.

Spa's pretty outdated too now.

I think there's a difference between Spa and Le Mans.

Spa is a really nice rendition of late 2010s Spa. It'd be nice to get the recent improvements modelled, but the current version still looks really good. If they had to re-scan it (and thus take time away from modelling a completely new track), I don't think that'd be worth the tradeoff currently.

Whereas Le Mans is both aging from a real life perspective, and also from the perspective where it's graphically behind every other track in the game, so it's crying out for a GT8 refresh (they won't do it in GT7). That one I'd definitely be getting behind an update of, even if it cost us another track elsewhere.

I agree for the most part but it's very obvious that content is being witheld to extend the life of GT7 while preparing for GT8. I'd be willing to bet almost all of the UI and progression UX is ironed out, and the content is created for GT7 can start being for GT8 at any time.

The best thing Sony can do is read the market to gauge when PS6 makes the most sense and since the GT7 lifecycle is still doing well enough there's no need to rush for a successor, thus GT7 still receives content updates..

Unpopular opinion: I actually like driving on the Tokyo Expressway circuits... but racing on them is a different story.

I love to race Tokyo in a equal conditions setting rain with a rain 3, 4 or 5 starting weather. It keeps the wetness of the road from accumulating to dangerous levels while still being fun to drive on with intermediates. Tsukuba though, I love to race it in a good ol' torrential rain in the early morning/sunset with rain tires.

Not much context to add here, but came across it in Discord. Looks like the faster team's are involved... Those linked to world tour drivers. No trace of a public qualifying that I can find.

It was on the World Finals schedule, so I'd say it was selected at least on the initial basis of who was already there, plus Coque Lopez (who was probably already there for the year-end party as a multi-champion)...

Teams of what ? eSport ? Or teams that put cars on real tracks ?
Click to expand...
Esports teams, yes. Williams, R8G, TC, BS+ and the like.
 
Yes, we've had ESL R1, but what about ESL R2?

Hagerty price changes have already started this month, no update required. It’s noticeable by the blue arrow in LCD indicating direction of price change.

That’s a good point, I hadn’t noticed.
Although, If we do get an update this month, we should get the silhouette teaser this weekend. Let’s wait and see.

Was there any clear reason why we got PRODRIVE decals in the livery editor? I can’t recall.

Most I can find is this:

Thread 'Prodrive and Callum Design Reveal the "World's Most Beautiful Simulator"'

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Prodrive and Callum Design Reveal the “World’s Most Beautiful Simulator”​

British motorsport company Prodrive has revealed its new, exclusive driving rig which will become available to customers later this year...

Maybe since the DBR9 is in the game?
Edit: WRC Impreza as well.
I wonder if there’s more behind the inclusion of Prodrive decals.

I think people are tired of "predicting"...
We will see this weekend if Kaz tweets the silhouettes....

Yeah actually me too, but another part of me enjoys it😅, or at least it helps with the wait till the silhouettes drop.

But im still surprised that there’s actually no one feeling the need of predicting

Exactly. Prediction threads may be stupid from a certain point of view - it’s Polyphony after all - but I can’t deny they’re fun and sure help pass the time.

I was this close to opening one, but then I realized we’re also too close to the weekend teaser - if we’re ever getting one this month.

Maybe people are tired of Kaz's car choices!!!!
And asking (or discussing) about some cars that will never be introduced in GT...
 


Time trial for UAE citizens only - for a chance to go to the world finals as a guest and a 'UAE GT Cup'

The point is: last month we already knew one for sure, one was to come sooner or later (Xiaomi) and the other one was self-leaked by PD, which spoiled a bit the fun. What do we have now that we are sure will come? The Yangwang (but it seems too soon), the Xiaomi VGT (which I would doubt, since then why wouldb't it be bundled with the Su7?) and some more vaporwave like those which were seen under scan in the movie, which I am not remembering right now, but could be a Lambo and a Vantage? To really shoot in the dark (I have not seen the prediction thread yet, sorry if I'm OT), I'd say

  • 2018 AM Vantage AMR GTE to go on this trend of updated models for Gr.3 (I also read it can be switched between GT3 and GTE standards irl, anyone can explain me how these changes are), plus it's almost a year since the road going model came, which would make sense for modelling the changes in race car and the Evo parts (2024 if I saw right) for GT Auto shop.
  • 2017 Alfa Stelvio Quadrifoglio. Would just make sense, giving a high performance SUV to battle against the Urus, plus they already have its engine sound recorded, as it's the same as the Giulia
  • Something from the list? Anyone remembers the last time a car came from there? Could it be the Vantage last year? I don't know, 2007 Mazda Mx-5 NC
