What honestly stood out to me is the length that we are getting from the new track that is 27km. For reference the Nordschleife is 20.8 km long.

In that case, he can only show if it turns to be paid DLC.
Yea, but that one is wide, fast and fairly generic, judging by the vid. Nothing to compare to extremely detailed Nordschleife.

PS4
We all know it's going to be easier and Kaz has stated that the time it takes to complete content is quicker than it is with the PS3 (the features that can't or aren't available to be used on the PS3 but can be used on the PS4 make it so). Adaptive tessellation, PD obviously were thinking ahead of time. That's just one example and my only example since there is so much that we don't technically know about PD's development ways. The one person, one car is now moot with the PS4. They'll be able to do everything quicker without making sacrifices which may or may not include hiring more car modelers.

As far as we know, they've said that X2014 standard events will be unlocked in january (and this is why they edited 1st january to just january). So, why they are telling now "DLC in february with new track and X2014"!? This is the last week in this month so if they want to deliver these redbull challanges on time, this is the last chance... and again, what! february...

there's actually supposed to be two large ones but it's the end of the month almost we haven't even got one of them I really want to give up on this game but I love it so much that I really can't this is the only game that I would take all this shortcomings from any other game of Madden doing this out of a job as polyphony hi and I would never touch that game For 5 years with a ten foot broomI have always defended the game against all the fanboys critics and everything but I feel like I'm starting to lose my passion and there's no way in with the game at its current stage I'm going to pay for A dlc rant over

First of all, I thought the same as you after reading/hearing from people associated with PD that it's only one person per car, or to say it another way, it isn't "man hours". I posted that once before in a HUGE post that didn't get noticed, because the (my) thread was slaughtered by people figuring that I'm a complete apologist on behalf of anything that can have a reason for not being what it should be or should have been when PD/Kaz "screw" things up. It can only be their fault, nothing else (technology, programming/coding doesn't apply to their logic).
3D scanning of the cars where more than 10 people would fly over to another country to capture a certain amount of cars (thousands of photos of tiny parts and from hundreds of different angles), not including the work needed to tweak the cars through the physics system as it isn't perfect, meaning that simply plugging in some numbers into the system will not make the car handle like it should (the MR cars are just one example), then there's the gear ratio work that needs to be done.
In a sense, it takes more than one person to get one car into the game... surprisingly. Either way (your speculation and other people's speculation), about how many people MODEL each car doesn't matter since there will be employees "wasting" their time on one car to complete in six months or there will be employees wasting their time modeling (though not recreating entirely) one car at a time.
Like what Tenacious D pointed out:
Personally, I prefer and think it's better that it's one modeler per car for the consistency, regardless of the quality of the car (which should go without saying). If only it were a perfect world. I also thought that there were people that had separate jobs on modeling the cars; one person for the bodywork/wheels/chassis, one for the interior. But then there's the person/s responsible for vehicle behavior like body roll and such things. That's a different story though and I get we're talking about the visual (not graphical) characteristics of the car being relied upon "one person".
I have to point out that I EDITED the hell out of this post.
AND another edit/addition to my post:
I share Vspectra's point-of-view, as well.

I really don't get it. If they really have only one man per car, then that one must do both interior and exterior, textures, models, scanning, everything by himself!? If that's the case, then modellers really are extremely talented artists. At the same time one has to wonder if this means that there is a lot of time thrown out the window. Could the same job be done much faster with the same results if the work was better optimised and delegated.

Actually it was said that there would be a large one in January maybe 2 so there it is in error to say or think that there were supposed to be two. There were two large ones in December btw. The actual comment from Kaz said something to the effect that there were going to be a large update in December and in January maybe two. We did get two very large updates in Dec and we got a 99 meg update so far in Jan which to some could be considered a large update.
I personally do not care about the size of the updates but would like to know when some of the features will be available. Community features should be very soon and the course maker and GPS will likely be farther down the road. I would also like some idea as to when we will get the data logger tool

I get you but he really needs to make up his mind and said some updates were to come but that first one this month clearly wasn't large They need to set deadlines if not don't give up quotes like that but I also am with you the community features are going to be exciting as they will vastly increase online play

Well you have to keep in mind people are begging these guys for info left and right. They can either say no comment to every question or do the best they can with the info they have. I don't think "might get 2" in Jan and only getting one is that bad.
A lot of the community begs for info as early as they can have it then complains when the rough estimates are a bit off.
I'm glad these game designers still tell us anything. No telling what could bump ya behind schedule a tad.

Not really, if it was a white themed race name you would not blink an eye. Eg. If I called myself "AussieDude" being from Australia, would you find that offensive? Or Britguy from England?, well, Pakiman is exactly the same.......

Haha true, but think about it. All of the content we received for free were DLC. Logically, we aren't going to need to pay for the Red Bull cars. No new tracks, so it can be a sure thing that people will need to pay for the new track. But the RB events are in-game already and like certain past events (an example would be the GT5 GT Academy where we had to download it and wait a month for the next test), these events will probably be time-released. Illogically and quite stupidly, they'll have us pay for the Red Bull collaborated cars to play those RB events that are IN THE DAMN game already. Having already been told that we'll need to wait (time-released) for the events to be unlocked and since we already have the non-ultra Red Bull car and RB kart, I don't see how they'll make us pay for the cars to play the events. And as a reminder, in GT5 they started out by using packaged paid DLC, then transitioned to individual paid DLC whilst being given free cars (time-released as well, but we ended up having to buy the last car of the trio, the BRZ).
The bright-side, we still haven't had to pay for any other the new content/cars or the kart and we won't have to pay for the Vision GT cars (which hopefully get their interior modeled or I'll feel pretty disappointed).
Read my reply above.
And not all DLC is PAID DLC. I think all of the future DLC tracks will need to be paid for, but in counteraction to that, we know for sure (not including the Vision GT cars) that there's a great chance for some future cars to be free.

Well, I couldn't care less for concepts, so they mean nothing for me. I see BWM and Toyota as advertisements, so that again is nothing for free. As for RB events, I always thought they were always meant to be present. We had them, as we had Mercedes challenges, in GT5 from the start. We got nothing in place of Merc challenges and we got incomplete RB event as free DLC. So that's still leaving plenty of free DLCs to get us where we were at launch of GT5 content wise. When we get there. I'll have no problem with them releasing paid DLCs.

As official as the RedBull challenge will arrive in January.
O wait, it's now official to be postponed to February.
Maybe next month it will be official to arrive even later while other good things as track maker, online improvements and other things will still be delayed because "we do not hit our standards right now".
Seems they haven't met their standards lately.

I agree with you on this as these updates seem to take forever to arrive and when we do get them it not always what we was expecting to get. As for course maker why not have it in game when released instead of hyping about it all the time as that would've give everybody something to play with while wait for rest updates at least

Probably because they're not done creating all the tools and coding for the course maker.

Ok this has got to be said, forget adding new cars, start adding on to what you have built, Kaz and that bunch are silly for not busting ass getting these road cars from GT4 made premium. Is the cars a bigger leap from GT2 to GT3 or GT4 to GT6. I would have to say GT2 to GT3 graphics are more impressive. IMO PD needs some motivation. Something needs to be done in there management department for quality control.
Now for the bright side i love GT6, my brother just noticed up close the doors are welded shut with MS paint. I had to explain to him yeah bubbah, they kind of half assed it this time around.
