So... To get my facts straight in this thread of ramblings, I did some digging and compiled these details from a select group of posts. Anyone wondering about future updates planned for this week?
This is what we have so far:
PsuPepperoni said
This is the info we've received from GTP News, and it may or may not have been correctly translated from what Kaz actually said.
"A new track is coming for Gran Turismo 6,
set to be released some time in February."
"Although the Sony and Polyphony Digital representatives on-hand at the event kept most of the details about the location secret, they did confirm
we’ll be learning more about it in an update coming to the game this February."
"Based around the town of
Zahara de la Sierra in Andalusia, Spain, the new track will be the longest in
GT6 - longer than even the Nurburgring Nordschleife’s 26km of tarmac. As
previously announced,
it will be released in February, along with the Red Bull X2014 Standard and X2014 “Fan Car” models."
Note that the information seems to have some discrepancies. Also, I've been told that Kaz said the track would be around 27km which means it won't actually be "the longest in GT6".
I think PD's once-in-a-blue-moon, vague, one-sentence statements may be getting mistranslated, meaning the obscenely low amount of communication we are getting may not even be correct.

Those quotes are all mine, and they're all correct; they don't come from Kazunori, but from the SCEA and PD representatives I spoke with when I hosted the round-table discussion on PlayStation's Twitch channel.
Of course, plans must have clearly changed since that time.
If it's any consolation,
I have spoken with SCEA and the update is coming, but exactly when that will be remains a mystery.
Considering the aforementioned, Jordan is speaking of the Zahara/track update in his response.

Jordan, please; do you know if the update has a
chance at being released this weekend? The answer will lessen drama around here dramatically... even if it's the answer we don't want to hear.

We will be getting
something within 7 days.

This must be a riddle for a new VGT car... Snowy cities.... where is it snowing... It snows in Geneva. When is the Geneva auto show?
edit: Geneva auto show times, press days March 2-3, 2014; that's definitely within 7 days.
edit edit: Snow forecasted for March 1st.

Thank you, Jordan!
Guys,
look at the capital letters in Jordan's riddle
This leads me to believe that we can expect some car related DLC this week, but nothing is concrete in relation to the track. More so, Jordans posts are a mere 30 minutes apart from each other, so it's unlikely that he was suddenly informed of something major when 30 minutes prior, it was a "mystery".
That's my take on things..., Hope it helps.
