Recently - we’ve been getting more than 3 cars so I think there could be 3 unknown cars coming, most likely something that’s been on the back burner and gap filling like the last 5 car updates (HiAce, Jimny SC, 430Scud).

Maybe the 599, Merc 500E, another 911!
 
I’m hoping for implementation of Fanatec’s FullForce feedback protocol. We’ve been waiting long enough, considering Fanatec are an ‘Official Partner’.

Evidence? The DD Extreme launch press release, on Gran-Turismo.com no less, stated “FullForce support will be added to Gran Turismo 7 in a future update.”

If start putting this on the Update Prediction threat each month, eventually I must be right.
It’s been 11 months since launch, come on PD!
I'm hoping for this as well.

  • I'd like to see PSSR improvements for PSVR2 users.
  • Hoping that PSVR2 users will get a timing chart.
  • Hopefully an overhaul to the HUD is coming soon with tire temps.
  • Maybe PD will gives us a bit more variability in Sophy races. An additional level of difficulty would be nice and/or an increased number of laps.

Possibly some more wheels.

The Sierra is an obvious group A engine swap omission at the moment.

I've ever hopeful the distance thing on custom races will be eventually fixed.
 
So.

Thus far we've had... 95 cars across 25 content updates. That's a mean value of 3.8 cars per update. Most updates (15) have just three cars, so we can expect 3-4 cars.

However, every time we've had an update with five cars following an update with three cars, we've had another five- or six-car update. This has happened twice - 1.26-1.29 (3, 5, 5) and 1.46-1.49 (3, 5, 6) - with 1.52-1.54 being a three-car and a five-car update. That means another five-plus-car update would be within established patterns.


The mean type/origin/newness of the cars has been:
Road Car: 2.8
Race Car: 0.8
Tuned Car: 0.2

Asia: 1.7
Europe: 1.6
Americas: 0.5

Brand Central: 2.3
Legends: 0.8
UCD Only: 0.7

All-New-to-GT: 2.6
Returning (including variants): 1.2


As a fun fact on American cars, we've seen a pattern of their presence in updates of 0, 0, 0, 1 four times. 1.54 brought us the fourth repeat of that pattern, with the "American" Escort RS Cosworth, and actually the second instance of them being back-to-back: 00010001 occurred in 1.23-1.34 and 1.42-1.54. We've only seen three occasions where two successive updates have added American cars...

We can therefore expect a four-car update to be three road/one race, two Asia/Europe, two Brand Central and one each in UCD/LCD, and three new-to-series and one returnee.


If "1.55" brings the Hyundai IONIQ 5N and Gran Turismo F3500-A, and we assume a four-car update, that leaves us with two European road cars: one Legends, one UCD-only; one other all-new car, and one returnee.

So... let's say...

BMW M1 1979 (Road, Europe, Legends, All-New)
Gran Turismo F3500-A (Race, Asia, Brand Central, All-New)
Hyundai IONIQ 5N (Road, Asia, Brand Central, All-New)
Peugeot 406 Coupe '98 or Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe '68 (Road, Europe, UCD, Returning)

Because why not.

Oh my, oh my, oh how I wish this will come to be.
(Especially the M1)

I just picked the M1 because it's the highest-voted European road car I could see as a potential Legends car in our Suggestions forum :lol:
 
Peugeot 406 Coupe '98
Now that's one risky but hot take. French cars from the 90s looks like something PD has completely forgotten over the years.

If you filter by country and check for France in your collection list, there's one massive gap that goes from 1986 straight up to 2000 and then all the way to 2010. Not only 90s, but also 2000s French cars in general are missing. The Clio V6 surely feels isolated there.

Of course this could change, and I hope it does, but like I said, that's a risky take.
