Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for the predecessor:

Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi has selected a 1969 Ferrari 512 S Berlinetta once driven by Jacky Ickx and John Surtees as the winner of the Gran Turismo Award at the 2021 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. After an enforced break in 2020, the Pebble Beach event returned for its 70th annive

I'm feeling XJ220 vibes on the horizon. The 959 needs some more competition, after all...

Hey now! Some of us have also been predicting the Merc Evo II 130E for months on end too!

 

[05XR8]

They'll troll us with 500E first.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Fingers crossed for a physics update next week to fix what was broken in the last update. If that isn't possible I'd be happy to see controllers and wheels split into seperate lobbies for sport mode so they can run different tyre multipliers and everybody get a fair race.

 

[SuperSportX]

They'll troll us with 500E first.

That'll be a great troll move by PD if that's the case. Though i'm really hoping this update is the one with the XJ220 as it should be close to finished by now if not completed.

Cars:
SF23 TRD

Lexus LFA

Track:

That would be the perfect pack

 

[Chacal24h]

PD could show this:
GTWS 2023.
Olympic Games Time Trial.
Toyota Gazoo GT Cup.
SuperFormula Championship in World Tracks.
Endurance races.
5 new cars.
Sebring, and for the Olympic time Trial: exclusive original track.

 

[RobertHammer]

Sugo would be nice but don't expect it now , most likely later

 

[Rangeraus]

I wonder what's going on with that olympic virtual series that was meant to have a qualifier around this time of this month? I was sort of interested in that...

April 27th - May 7th.

The original qualifying dates were removed from the Olympics page a few weeks ago. They've now been updated with these new dates, but for whatever reason this hasn't yet been published on the GT website.

How to participate​

The Olympic Esports Series 2023 qualifying rounds for Motor Sports Event will take place online from April 27th – May 7th. Drivers will compete for who can set the fastest time in an online time trial challenge on a track with bespoke Olympic Esports Series look and feel. The track is exclusively available in Gran Turismo™️ 7 and will put your driving skills to the test.
To participate in the Motor Sport qualifiers, you need a PlayStation®4 or PlayStation® 5 and the Gran Turismo™️7 game.
The best-ranked drivers of the online time trial will be invited to take part in the first-ever Olympic Esports Week from June 22-25, 2023 in Singapore.

I would just like more Missions - not drifting or drag racing though.
It's been way too long since the last Human Comedy ones were added.

Indeed!, that Human GR.3 at Maggiore was one of the best races, i had so much fun and had to push hard for an hour to win it, was a blast, we need more of those

 

[nickf1gr]

BRING BACK GT LEAGUE!!!!!
THATS ALL!!!!

 

[Ande3200]

So saturday or sunday we proably see the silhouttes, hopefully the keep it to 5 cars,

My top 5 cars to come to the game that is in the datamine is

1 dodge challanger srt demon
2 Ferrari 812 superfast
3 Lexus lfa
4 Jaguar xj220
5 BMW m5 e60

If any of those cars come in this update it will blow my mind

 

[05XR8]

I’m still thinking that R31 Skyline GTS-R.

Speaking on that Pebble Beach Ferrari, but in GT Award cars in general, the Robles Civic would have to be ready.

 

[Boxster]

I think the april update should bring some further adjustments to the tire physics. In particular, IM and wet tires need to last a bit longer in moist conditions.
Also, the insane behaviour of the AI in the wet needs to be addressed. Their silly tire changes when going from wet to dry make the Spa 1 hour and Le Mans 30 minute races uninteresting.

 

[Nathan88]

There are a few special edition GR Yaris models that could be fast-tracked into the game due to the Toyota brand partnership.

Some may consider these duplicates, but I think they're worthy models in themselves. I'd also like to see some tuner cars return.

Sugo vibes, Man. I mean, Mazda Fan Day is held at Sugo each year, but would be a nice inclusion. Especially, if it’s in a build for fans to play before the update.

 

[klondike]

I have no idea what they will add.

My Dream since the game launched was Sebring. For the love of good give us this track.

Also hoping for more races 30 minutes - 1 hour on tracks that are not much used. Brands Hatch, Bathurst. please give some grind events on those tracks :-)

 

[Galvston]

is tomorrow right? the silhouettys...

maybe that MBenz 190e EVO II. maybe that Lexus LF-A. maybe that Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII.

I'm thinking one Hagerty, 2 normal cars and 2 SF23

 

[05XR8]

Haven’t seen a new Gr.4 in a minute. Aston, Audi, BMW, McLaren, AMG, Porsche, all have new GT3 & GT4 machines. We have the Audi R8 Evo GT3. The GT4 R8 would make sense. Just got an Audi last update, might as well double it up.
Alpine would probably require a GT3/Gr.3 car, unless, PD do what they did to Bugatti.
New GT4 Lotus?…. nope.

With superformula coming i would not expect any other racecars beside them, its proably between 2-3 road cars alongside the superformula cars, Jaguar xj220 would proably be good one to predict as it was confirmed being scanned some time ago, but With cars added last 2 month its been harder predicting whats coming as we dont have the updated datamine list,

 

[Chacal24h]

What is the probably that the real track number two in the comunity wishing list (Sebring) could be arrive this thursday ??

 

[Artremis]

What is the probably that the track number one in the comunity wishing list (Sebring) could be arrive this thursday ??

The last two updates have had a new track and new layouts so the more likely scenario is no new track at all. The last few track additions going as far back as the last GT Sport one have all been american tracks so it's possible they scanned it back then too.

We had a couple updates where the race cars outnumbered the road cars(Skyline & Maserati, Suzuki Gr.3 and Escudo, GR010 & Rampage[more track than hiomologated race car]). Sure, recent updates have been one race car, but still possible to see race cars outnumber road cars.

Zero, according to @Nenkai.

 

[SnakeOfBacon]

SF23 (x2, new)
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 '09
Nissan STAGEA 260RS AutechVersion '98

Twin Ring Mobility Resort Motegi

At least one of these is true, I have no idea.

Imagine Kaz tweeting "update next week" with a photo of the SF 23 and that's it. 👀

I’d be fine with that. We get what we get.
