Update arriving next week.

[ProjectF]

Very likely we see Silverstone at some point. It and Ascari are the only remaining real-life tracks that debuted in GT6 that are yet to be ported over. I fully expect them to come.

Don't forget Goodwood Hillclimb !!

 

[05XR8]

I like Albert Park.

Used to live a couple blocks away on Beaconsfield Parade.

 

[PSN:And-War]

Do you think it's a long shot we would ever get Senna's F3 car from Gt6?

We are still waiting for PD to sort out the Lotus licence.

 

[Cayit]

maybe another track also included in the Update...?

 

[Downhill Dino]

Kaz: I got you fam.
*Adds Kart Space*

Only if it goes back to allowing cars. Good times those were.

 

[Spongeinside]

I’d love to see Motegi, but Okayama would be awesome too, it’s quite suitable for both fast and slow cars... But to be honest, I’m not expecting any track to come with this update, probably next month..

 

[doblocruiser]

One real nice surprise would be Pikes Peak, since they already are the main sponsor for a couple of years for this great event. However, Kaz confirmed in an older interview the 208T16 Pikes Peak would come to the game as well so we'll need to wait and see if over the coming months those 2 finally see the daylight.

June or July this year would fit the slot

 

[V1LR-GUE10]

This is some real galaxy brain thinking, the original NSX has been in Gran Turismo since GT1 and thats a car Ayrton Senna helped out on; Therefore Gran Turismo is just Ayrton Senna, I can't believe how woke I am now

Shook

 

[chrisspeed281]

Surprise, Surprise, the Update comes on Thusday

 

[Famine]

[05XR8]

Hmm, if there is a track, do we get an old one or new one?

We got good old Route X and then "new" Autopolis. MAybe Mid-field out of the blue.

 

[Leo Thorne]

March 28th will mark a year since GT6 severs went down...

Wonder if anything “special” will happen...

Seasonals Races and Time Trials as we had in GT6 ?

And a large number of my friends will like those things that you have mention in GTS Chris, but sadly PD has left them out of the game which was the wrong thing to do, and shame on PD for doing that.

And Goodwood.

 

[WaikeCU]

I'm thinking of a non-japanese race track. Usually after a japanese track is released, a non-japanese track follows up. Although that's not entirely true.

Amazing observation

Add to that, If Autopolis is added, because of SF19 being added couple of weeks later, then I'm thinking of perhaps the next track will be Italian, because it suits the retro feel of the other cars in the update, which are... Italian!

And because they are Italian retro road legal vehicles, I think the perfect match will be... Rome!

If PD were better at communicating what’s going on we wouldn’t be surprised Pikachus. They somewhat clearly have a plan as the date has been “published” for what, a few weeks now? Which they shared unofficially through that publication, that’s great. They also seem to share timelines with gtplanet under nda and publishing embargoes. And that’s fair. What bothers me is this stuff exists, there’s no way a house this big doesn’t have things scheduled. But they’re so sloppy at properly communicating the roadmap for the game. Just had a major event in Paris, perfect opportunity to talk about a roadmap. We got a competition roadmap, but only vague rhetoric on the content.

I don’t feel like it’s kept secret to raise interest, even with the silhouettes. First, such strategy has been proven not to work well for marketing. GABBO GABBO GABBO!! Very few write stores about secrets and even fewer read em. Unfortunately it feels like an afterthought. If this is legitimately their marketing/communication plan they suck at it.

“We on track for release three weeks from now?”
“Yes boss”
Crickets chirp.
2.5 weeks later:
“Everything on track for release in three days?”
“Yes boss good to go! Should we release a maintenance statement?”
“A what? For who?”
“The players of the game....?”
“Oh yeah. Them. Uhhhh yeah sure. Don’t be informative though. Just the day that’s been rumoured due to our poor communication. I’ve got a vague chirp I’ll send out for that at some random time that’ll do.”

I’m frustrated by this for three reasons. The first is this is not the method of customer communication with an ongoing service model like the direction Kaz claims he wants to go. I’m happy to provide some SAS model change management if you’re listening Kaz! The second is this is what I do for a living. I lead deployment of software to big companies who have lots of customers. Change management is huge in our delivery and something I track all the way through delivery. If we were vague with our customers or their customers it’s be hell to pay. Call centre volumes would skyrocket with people bitching about where’s Spa.

The last reason is if I knew Spa were coming, and or a select few other tracks, I’d book time off and ship my wife and child away to the in-laws and have myself the super Funtime party I’ve been dreaming of since I got the bloody game! Very hard thing to do on short notice.

“Honey, why are my bags packed and in the car?”
“We need to talk, we need to spend time apart. I didn’t plan for this to happen. I had no idea it would. Spa was released this morning.”

This sounds demanding to many of you but imagine how much less noise there would be around here if we got clear communication about a change plan and formal communication platform? And as I said above, this is the new customer engagement model. I’m thinking of AC here. They have a calendar of releases mapped and a forum THEY HOST where they semi transparently speak with their customers. Sure, there are delays and peeps complain about that, but if you communicate well they just look like complainers with no valid platform. I’m sure there’s other good examples with big dev houses that do this well, I’m not much of a gamer outside of GT Sport.

 

[Victoria H]

Yeah, that's an "expensive" update . No time for BMB grinding this week so I will probably only buy the Stratos for now, which is a shame because I wanted that Ferrari so much...

Don't think we'll get a new track but PD might surprise us again.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Can't wait for the Stratos. In my GT6 time trial at Midfield, the closest GT6 cars that are also in GT Sport are the Ford Focus ST and Mustang Mach 1, which were a few tenths slower. Dodge Challenger R/T was slightly faster.



This was with a DS3 though and the car is extremely difficult to control IIRC...

 

[GTracer25]

Just dreaming in my mind...

 

[Scuderia Paul]

People are coming up with strained connections which they think can lead to something.

One of the PD dev team has a pet snake. It's an asp. Asp has the same letters as Spa. Perhaps Spa will be next?!

It was posted on Saturday last week. The 'next' week is this week!

Technically four since the Super Formula is made by the same constructor that builds the current IR18 IndyCar:
