Probably just lowering of more payouts for events.

What I expect is very little. Just fixes and tweaks, perhaps even an easing of the economy to be a little more generous, along with those missing menu books. I hope all of us can count to 39. 
What I want to see are some GT6 cars "future proofed" again, maybe seven, and more events. Specifically, more lucrative events, and which deliver '90s - today's era sports cars as prizes. Also, fixing the Roulette Tickets to not be so chintzy, as well as some improvements to the Livery Editor.

Did you want cynical, wishful, or probable? I'll let you guess which of these are cynical and which are probable:
- The elimination of Remote Play
- Some more pandemic-priced cars, mostly in the used-car section (with neither an increase in the number of cars offered at a time nor an increase in frequency of stock updates)
- A couple of new events...that won't pay any better on a per-minute basis than the current median
- The Daytona truck race payout nerfed by at least 50%
- The first over-20,000,000 Cr. cars
- The 20,000,000 Cr. cap lifted...only to the extent you pay real-world money for credits (complete with any earned credits while over the 20 million cap wasted effort)
- A new 20,000,000 Cr. for $50 (or your local currency equivalent) MTX (though the $50 price tag probably qualifies as wishful thinking; it probably won't be less than $99.99)

I don't think this holds true for a GT game to be honest, as new content in a racing game is generally new cars and tracks and not new mechanics or game modes as in other games.
And I doubt the guys and gals modeling the cars and tracks have anything to do with the guys responsible for netcode or ingame-economy design.
So the content update should pretty much go as planned before release.

This guy gets it.
There’s a huge difference between planned content and changes to the actual mechanics of a game that should be finalised before release.
Obviously there’s a lot going on with GT7 that could do with a rethink, but that’s for a separate thread (about 3000 threads, actually).

I’m hoping for not a new car or new circuit but VRR support.
Sony have said it’s coming soon to the PS5 and they have updated 2021 TVs a few weeks ago so all we need it’s the games to get patched so they natively support it.
Bring it on.

The introduction of "Paid Practice" in Sport mode alongside Free Practice. 50,000cr for unlimited practice. Free Practice to be timed to 5 minutes a day.
/s (or is it?).

Related - race fees that exceed the payout of non-podium finishes.
That or a repeat an an event in a 24-hour period only pays the difference between the current finish and the best previous finish.
That probably comes down to licensing. Hopefully, PD didn't exhaust their entire budget for licensing pre-launch. I can see them releasing the game with minimal room left in their budget, hoping to license more cars and tracks with the money earned from game sales and microtransactions. As wrong as it is, it seems like something they might have done.
That's true to an extent but doesn't change my point. Typically, large game companies like Sony start off large projects like GT7 with internal budget constraints. You don't become a billion dollar company without doing that. Considering that we don't know the internal politics of Sony/PD, we really don't know what internal constraints have been placed on the GT7 dev team.
While it's possible that Sony gives a team working on a project like GT7 a blank check to pay for content licensing, it's also not unrealistic to think that an incomplete game that's always been planned as a "live service" game was budgeted and structured to rely on game purchases and MTX to fund the game's expansion and growth.
It's not an excuse for Sony/PD's behavior, but this explanation would correlate well with a lot of their other decisions i.e. reliance on microtransactions, smaller car list, less tracks, etc.
There is nothing unrealistic about the thought that Sony's leadership said "PD, you get X dollars for licensing content before the game's release, and then any other money needed for licensing future content will have to come from the game's profits."

I support this 100%
There are so many absolute classics from a certain part of the world that get nothing in the way of recognition.
The Cowsorth brand itself carries a huge amount of clout in the motorsport world. That’s before you even start looking at production cars with the badge on the back.
PD seem to put European metal a firm last in the pecking order. It’s handy that there’s a decent JDM following in the UK, because whether they realise it or not, a 69 Camaro or any of its dozen similar cousins just isn’t what we bought the game for.
We can hope!

I hope so. Updated tesla would be interesting.My guess is that we will get the Tesla Model 3 that was teased since the modeling on it is likely complete:
Tesla Model 3 Teased for Gran Turismo 7 in New Promo Video
There's a new Gran Turismo 7 preview video available on the official GT channels today, and it appears to confirm that a racing-grade Tesla Model 3 will be coming to the game in a post-launch update. The video, "Virtual to Reality", is something of a crossing of streams between the Gran Turismo gwww.gtplanet.net

As a side note, PD apparently has an exclusive license for Pike's Peak, and has a "Gran Turismo Cafe" at Twin Ring Motegi. Considering these existing relationships with these real-world courses, it's pretty disappointing to not see them in-game. I expect these tracks to be among the upcoming DLC for that reason.
