The July update is still numbered 1.49:Clearly Kaz and PD are skipping the June update 1.49, it will be delay and reported to the July update 1.50.... bigger more even
EDIT after the front page post:
My bad, i didnt see the front page update just now:
Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.49 to be Revealed During World Series in Montreal on July 6
In a rather surprising turn of events, the Gran Turismo social media team has announced the next update for GT7, version 1.49, will be revealed during the GT World Series live stream from Montreal on July 6. For anyone who has been following Gran Turismo 7, this is an unusual twist for several rewww.gtplanet.net
wow... come PD communication... hard to believe

Sorry no that's not a hint!
I'm just genuinely curious, it DID appear in GT2, which has tracks people do consider to be classics (Red Rock Valley, Grindelwald, etc.) but Pikes Peak was certianly less used and it was also not the whole thing, so I'm just wondering how people see it.
Completely hypothetical question. Personally I don't really see it as a GT track.

They haven't re-added the Goodwood hillclimb, let alone Pikes Peak.
But both would make for good new selections of Mission Challenges in the event that they were added.

Yeah amen to that. It being a exclusivity deal is a huge blow in general, it surely must hurt the events reach.

isn't Pikes Peaks a public road.... so why do we need license... sorry i am not a lawyer so i dont know about these things.
Note: word of advice, there is Pikes Peak name Police around here, they dont want us to refer to Pikes Peaks as Pikes Peaks, i have been cursed before for that... imagine that... so i would recommend you to refer to it accordingly to its proper name....
where was this statement made, by whom ?

It's quite obvious it will be a big oneWell this makes a change from the usual silhouette teasers from Kaz.
Does make one think it could be a bit bigger of an update than normal, but we shouldn't set expectations for our own sanity lol.
Whatever is in the update, it seems that it's not going to be used in the live event races themselves, unless we see a couple new cars in the Watkins Glen Nations Cup race.

In other news, this is a cool development from earlier today:
Think the Audi VGT might finally have a somewhat similar looking Gr.1 rival, with more of a Hyper-Touring Car look than the normal LM Sportscars/Prototypes.
Genesis X Gran Racer Vision Gran Turismo Revealed at BIMOS in South Korea
Genesis pulled the wraps off a new racing-spec version of its Vision Gran Turismo concept car, the "X Gran Racer", today at the Busan International Mobility Show (BIMOS) in Busan, South Korea. Based on the earlier X Gran Berlinetta Concept, this new design is part of the company's Magma high-perf
Reminds me of when the Suzuki VGT was added, making the VW GTI Roadster no longer the only roofless Gr.3 car.

No idea if this new version of the Genesis VGT is related to the upcoming update details announcement. I'm guessing not though, as it has already been shown.

The fact they got an exclusive Pikes Peak license and didn't add the track to the game (and apparently it's not even work in progress) is honestly insane.
I might be wrong here, but with two only other cases of them sponsoring the event (which is Nurb 24h and D1 GP) we had both cars and tracks from those. But it's not the case for that one event where they have the exclusive track license.
I get why it's a thing, a purely time trial track probably doesn't make a lot of sense to add, considering how long it would take to make (and how slow PD already are at adding new tracks) and with the whole e-sports thing. But I don't think it really justifies the lack of that track.

Why did you feel the need to just be toxic?
This is the issue with the community. It became toxic. And Kaz is partly to blame. Folk lapped up awful content while those who'd like something decent get abuse and piled on by Fanboys. Life long GT fan and I'm seriously considering stepping away from this awful community and awful game

because of a few bad apples ?
stepping away from GTP would be a bigger loss for you than for us... Is there a better place than GTPlanet ? (i am not even sure if i am allowed to ask that question here?) Edit: i guess i could ask, but you shouldn't answer otherwise you will be cancelled ...

I think it's more of a toll road, owned by the US Forestry Service.
As far as licensing goes, if it's owned by somebody else, and you want to make money from it, you probably have to pay something.
PPIHC might be sponsored by Gran Turismo, but that's an event, not a venue or location.

so in a sense... it is a toll road like the Nurburgring is a public toll road... so PD doesn't have the correct license for it yet ? so which license did they get...

As I say, Pikes Peak International Hillclimb is an event sponsored by Gran Turismo, that is owned by a company (presumably) 'Pikes Peak Auto Hill Climb Educational Museum, Inc.'
PPAHCEM Inc, don't own the location.
The assumption would be that PD can use the PPIHC branding, logos, event name etc, which they'd need if they wanted to put "Pikes Peak International Hill Climb" into the game. I'd imagine that to reproduce the road they would need permission from the US Forestry Service, and quite possibly have to pay The City of Colorado Springs.
You need to buy a permit just to do a commercial photoshoot in many of the States national parks.
edit:
Mount Panorama & Bathurst might be a good example...
edit 2:
Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak tourism, and the Forestry Service are all partners of the Hill Climb event...
I would put money on Sony need permission from each of those to recreate the location in the game.

I had uninstalled gts a few years ago already, and more into the usually considered hardcore sims etc since.
But i just reinstalled it, looking for different choices from my usual, and im amazed how nice it is, best replay sounds in a game i think, ai races pretty well for now too, etc.
So ill be looking into gt7 when its on a good sale.
Just too bad it takes up so much storage on ssd.
But looking forward to supposedly somewhat improved physics, sounds etc.
And the 3 classic roads added.
Only thing is, im an sp player, and i read the ai is pretty poor, except for that sophie update, but that it is limited in sp modes use?
Any info on if it will be expanded?
Maybe that will be part of the next event in montreal..
I live there and never knew there was an event here, wasnt much into gt, and not much into multiplayer.
Did have some fun few races online when i had gts 1st installed, was easy to get into for sure.

Sophy won't be more than a side mode (like it is currently, maybe expanded to arcade/custom races as an option if we are very lucky) in GT7 because the main career races need to support the PS4 version which can't run Sophy.
Expect GT8 to be heavily pushing the AI in its marketing in 2-3 years.

GT7 is a fantastic game and in VR it's absolutely mind blowing.
It's also constantly on sale.
Jump in.

GT8 will be the reason for avid GT players to drop their PS4 for either the PS5, or PS5 Pro or PS6 ...

@JPVSPAndrade1, what's so funny lol?
Just curious, i didnt say it's the best sim ever..
Edit: @Nakano219 after a quick search i read gt8 is supposed to come out end of 2025, that would be a shock considering how long it usually takes PD.
