7 to 77 "From Children to adults anyone can participate"

Maybe it's just Kaz, who simply likes to make strange and sometimes hidden announcements, followed by accusing the community of misunderstanding him and then stopping any communication as form of protest.

"From 7 to 77 years old" is a part of a slogan invented by Karel Van Milleghen for a famous belgian comic strip : Tintin.
Nowadays, it's a very common french idiomatic expression. Remember FIA HQ is at France, the PGW was at France, and GT sport was revealed at France, so it was just some creative french-style ad for the game

Yeah, I wasn't 100% serious about it.

It says 7 to 77, there are three sevens, we know that that's a 'hint' for GT7, so, GT7 is going to be released on...
PlayStation
3

for me , 7-77 means it could be enjoyable for casual Players as well , not only for the Wheel Pro's

7-77 is a throwaway marketing line. It simply means the game is for everyone just like every other GT.

PD could have filmed a female in the vid as well or had the first gentleman playing alongside a woman. That's if "everyone" can play.

Nice, is it possible to use a female avatar in Forza now? Yeah GT needs this. A small feature but appreciated nonetheless. My girlfriend always complains that there is too few games with female avatars. I think if GTS/7 features the choice between a female and male avatar, she'll be more likely to play GT too.

Yes. You can view both avatars side by side.

It could be a way to distinguish GT Sport's online tournaments from something like GT Academy. To participate in the Academy, you needed to be above a certain minimum age, have some prior real-world racing experience, and so on, meaning that realistically only a small number of people could be in with a chance of joining the Academy (and a smaller fraction still being able to proceed through all of the stages of the training).

However, GT Sport's take on this is the actual competition is held within the game, from start to finish, and stays firmly grounded in the virtual world, meaning that theoretically, anyone old enough to understand how to use a DualShock 4 or racing wheel could be the champion the FIA crown at the end of it all.

...have some prior real-world racing experience...

It was actually not allowed to have racing experience of any kind but the lowest levels.
