And here's the speculation...

Assuming the usual 6 week cycle we're looking at a likely 1 September release date. If it's 7 weeks (as the last release cycle was) then 8 September.

Given that the Boxster challenge is all set up to wrap up neatly before 1 September I'm inclined to think they're trying to get back onto the 6 week release cycle.

There's nothing on the usual places (their youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/RealRacingEA/videos) seems to be the best place to get the info first (over facebook, twitter etc) as yet.

This year they seem to have been getting their comms in line and the last few releases have seen a video go out on the Thursday/Friday before the new Tuesday release. On one occasion there was information available via a media outlet they'd given exclusive access to, but even that was only about a week before the new release ended up coming out.

I've no idea what the next release will include, but in the cycle where RTLM-PoV was the challenge they did have a facebook quiz about which new manufacturers people would like to see. Now that sort of thing probably takes a while to get the legals sorted (then actually implement the cars and challenges etc, etc), but I'd say it's possible it might be ready for this next release.

If (and it's a big if) they put in a new manufacturer, then the "easy win" for them would be to put in another manufacturer from the Volkswagen group (wikipedia says the following are Volkswagen brands: Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT, Škoda and Volkswagen). But the missing marques don't fill me with any anticipation - there's not really many interesting "race" cars in SEAT, Škoda and Volkswagen.
