That's not too far away, I wonder if it will be updated anymore from the footage show just the other day?

Most definitely
and
It's been suggested to me that I post my thoughts on the GT6 demo in here as I have just written them out for Jordan elsewhere, I got to spend about an hour or so testing the combos and getting comfortable with it during the 15th anniversary event. Here are my thoughts:
I actually spent more than an hour on the GT6 demo, both the previous build and the last minute update build that Kaz and his team brought to the show that we installed literally less than an hour before people got on the pods.
Now I spent a loooooooooooooooooot of time on GT5 Prologue and GT5 on the wheel, so I felt the change in physics straight away. I drove without driving aids except ABS set to 1, SRF was turned off, and the cars were much more sensitive and jittery, especially the race cars. The Kazunori GTR from Nurb 24hr was especially difficult. So you had to be much more gentle on throttle and careful with steering input but the smoother you were, the more reward there was. Cars like the Dino and Countach were *utterly* sublime. The lower power meant you could really coax them around the tight International circuit and it was such a pleasure. Definite improvement in physics, Lucas agreed with us as well that you could feel more of the car's weight shift and behaviour and where grip was - that's not to say it was any easier to hold onto the grip! Alex (GTP_Ingram - former UK GT Academy Silverstone finalist), myself and even the Academy champs were spinning quite regularly in the first few laps, even at seemingly innocuous corners. I think the race tyres are more challenging than before, but the lower grip tyres are even more satisfying now.
By the end of the day I was desperate to spend more time on it because the physics were most pleasant, but for sure without driving aids the game is now even more of a challenge than before.
Regarding dampers, I actually don't think I have any useful feedback. All I know is the rumbles on Silverstone were brutal if you hit them with any sort of decent steering angle going on with the settings I was running with. Only the GT3 SLS AMG was able to negotiate them with any sort of composure. That car was fabulous by the way, could push and push and push.
The KTM test driver was quite impressed with the X-bow's physics in the game, so that's quite an endorsement. Although he did feel it felt slower and less grippy in the game than he felt it should be, but we explained that he was comparing it to the Nurb GTR which was on race tyres and mucho powerful. Poor guy spent nearly 20 laps trying to get close to Alex's ghost
All the best

Can't wait 
Looking forward to checking out the demo for myself

I hope Kaz is cool enough to let a niche group of dedicated GT(5) players use some of their Premium cars in the demo. It's wishful thinking.
AND please, release the demo in the first quarter of July! Well, at least we won't have to pay for it.

Huh? Who are a 'Niche group' and what do you mean use some of their premium cars?

I can't wait for the demo, I need to test out the new phyiscs! 
I really hope it releases on the first day of July, but my thoughts tells me it'll be like a week or two.

The notion of a niche group being able to use their GT5 cars in the GT6 demo to me is beyond silly. It would take a much much larger demo to do such a thing and it would require a lot of extra and useless coding as well. If the cars were there and they want anyone to use them then let everyone use them and don't even bother to check if they have GT5. Coding to see how much they played or how many times they logged in or how many miles and which cars they do or don;t have would all just be a big waste of programming.

Actually, I don't think the programming work would be all that involved. But what it would do is blunt the intended purpose of a demo or Prologue, which is to provide a very limited taste to whet your appetite for the full game.
Of course, the Academy demo might just be the first demo, with only a couple of cars and one track like the first Academy Time Trial offered. Then, PD could offer an update to it in late summer or fall with a few more tracks and cars, perhaps even a few GT6 game features, rather than time locking it as they did the first one.

No it probably would not be a huge undertaking if they do in fact already have all of the GT5 models complete and ready to go but it would still be effort both programming and testing that would be much wiser to spend on something else.
Besides like you say a demo is just to give a little taste so such a thing would be outside the bounds of a demo. Sure I would love to have access to my 1000+ GT5 cars but that ain't gonna happen in a demo.
