"We are pleased to release the IONIQ 5 N to Gran Turismo 7. The Hyundai N brand has made a lot of achievements in actual motorsport this year, including at Pikes Peak, the Nurburgring 24-hour race TCR class victory, the TCR World Tour champion, and the WRC drivers title, and we look forward to future collaborations between Gran Turismo and Hyundai in the Esport sector."

So we're getting those cars too then right? Right?
 
Let's not be hasty with that. Remember that despite being longtime partners with Super GT, we STILL don't have the latest GT500 machinery.
On that topic.
I know Super GT cars have had a prominent place in the Gran Turismo franchise, and it's likely that the 2024 GT500's show up at some point in the future, but have they ever had an official licensing partnership like NASCAR & WRC had back in GT5, or Super Formula currently has?
Genuinely don't know.

GT5 and GT6 were the only real instance of officially licensing the actual Super GT Name (and unsurprisingly, the most fleshed out in terms of cars even if it didn't have the flashy cinematics like WRC or NASCAR did) but as far as I can tell, Gran Turismo has featured as one of their partners for over a decade now.
 
This is a bug right? They probably took this shot in Scapes mode and forgot to enable the Parking Lights on

PD wouldn't forget to include one of the coolest and most iconic Daytime-Running Lights of all time, right?

Right...?

Super GT is in the same odd place Pikes Peak is in, where we know PD had the license a decade ago, and circumstantial evidence (sponsorships, other sims not using the content) would suggest they still have it, but we don't know the state of either for 100% sure.

For completeness, they are not currently mentioned at all in the IP/licensing credits in-game (Super Formula are, licensed from Japan Race Promotion).
