Just another placeholder date.
People need to realize that the majority of AAA titles are released from October to December, since its the holiday season. If an AAA title misses that time frame, then March to May is the next time-frame of release. If you look back at previous GT games, they've all either been released in November/December or March/April.

Out of curiousity. Has a Gran Turismo game ever been delayed twice or more?
I've been playing GT for 13 years now I should know this, but I don't.

GT5? I think it was supposed to launch in 2009, then March 2010, then the beginning of November and then it got pushed a few weeks.

GT5 was delayed 3 times(?), I think.

I just watched the newly released clips and the 'interview' with Kaz on youtube.
I think Sony realize that they don't need GT for console sales and are happy to let Kaz show off the technical side of the PS4, instead of previously where GT had more of an influence on console sales.
The big wigs @ Sony aren't going to be hardcore sim racers, they're going to look at the situation alot more generally. They know games like PCars and AC will partially fill a gap for the more serious online racers, while games like Driveclub etc cater for more basic / offline needs. The PS4 has sold well and they still have the big games (FIFA, Battlefield etc) doing well, I'm willing to bet they're not bothered what Kaz releases, aslong as it shows off the capabilities of the console.
GT is still great clickbait (Marketing / PR), they won't care about sounds, number of cars / tracks etc, they'll care more about VR and 4k etc etc getting exposure.
I think both Sony and Kaz will be alot happier with a relationship like that compared to one where Sony are reliant upon Kaz and Kaz feels pressured by Sony.
They still have GT Academy which is great PR and now they have the FIA solely on their consoles too.
I don't think any of them care that a 'full' GT which is reliably playable (online, as it's meant to be ((not running a 3/4 full lobby with no mics to get some kind of online reliability)) has been waited on for 10 years (or however long it's been).
In that time a whole new generation of gamers have been born or grown into video games, in their eyes this will help compensate for the GT fans who walked away owing to GT5 or 6.
Until or if (what is effectively) 'GT7' (i.e. a full working game like GT1-4) actually lands on the shop shelves, we all might aswell get used to the fact that those days are long gone and no amount of bitchin, hoping, whining or speculation is going to change anything..

Even if it comes from Sony or Polyphony it's looking kind of dubious given their track record with dates.

Which is fairly close to meaningless at this point.

I will be surprised if it is before November 2017. They like to release it at end of the year.

Since the Copper évent we haven't seen any new tracks or whatsoever. Only a handful of new cars. I think GTS will release at the end of 2017 with a big évent somewhere in the summer. Maybe PD can surprise me with an earlier date but I don't expect it.
If it releases at the end of 2017, to which racers it will be up against? PCars2, New Codemasters/Evo project, F1 2017 and FM7?

It hasn't been outright confirmed, but yeah, the rally shots that accompanied the rest of the copper box media certainly appear to be Fishermans. It was just unnamed at that point in time.
Surely, if it were a different track, PD would've taken the opportunity to show off something different for a change.
