Vehicle artists and environment artists are different jobs, not doing cars isn't going to make more tracks happen.

The lack of the Bentley Continental GT3 is still a glaring omission. There's also the Ford GT and Maserati MC that they could work on getting included.

I'm with Eyeball Kid on this. I'd much rather they added less cars but the few cars they did could add to Sport Mode.

Also, I'd prefer if they put more resources towards getting some additional tracks sorted instead of these road cars that will be fun to fool around with for just a handful of times.

I agree but Jambo is correct more cars isn't going to stop tracks. There isn't really much to add to the GR3 and GR4 class though as one small DLC pack would cover what they have missed but would be good including. Though I don't think they can get the Radical RXC GT (iRacing) or the Ford GT (Forza) due to licensing.

There are loads of classes they could add to build on Sport mode though. NGTC, Super2000, DTM cars all could be a good addition and would bring a big change due to the complete lack of assists. The NGTC being extremely well balanced in terms of competitiveness, Super2000 being similar to Gr3, then the DTM cars being very technical and very powerful with things like DRS at players disposal. There are so many and they would all add something.

Just had a really fun Sport race, the replay of myself and the winner looks like it could be a real race!

Was quicker but just not quick enough to get alongside...



In regards to other classes I would love to see DTM and SuperGT back in, both those classes run to broadly the same rules now so would be a great group of cars. I would like to see some GTE cars as well. Together these would bridge the gap between Group 3 and 1.

Are we finally getting a Supra 0_0

Ehh, not really excited about that car list because I don't think any of them will be usable in Sport mode for anything besides single make races. I don't think we've had any new Gr.3 or Gr.4 cars for Sport mode since launch actually. It's a sign of PD's confused focus IMO. Why don't we have the 488, the 720S, the new Huracan? This focus on old cars is placating GT heads who are nostalgic for the old Gran Turismos. Sport mode has become an afterthought. I mean I don't mind the old cars if we get new cars also, I like driving some of them, but so far this is just making GTS feel like GT6 on a budget, not a new direction for the series.

The classic ones, Ferrari, Jaguar and Ford are their own class right? That could be an interesting class. I would like more racecars, like Super GT, DTM and old GT cars. I suspect we are in the minority though.

Just finished watching the latest Grand Tour episode and they had a section on Group B rallying, which made me go watch some compilations on Youtube. Just listening to the sound of the things made me realise something. We're the steam train enthusiasts of the future. Electric cars will be better in every way, but they'll never seem as alive as an internal combustion monster...

That's true, and I'd be fine with more classes (though we can't even seem to get a Gr.1 Sport race as it is).

And for the love of all that's holy, if they're going to put older cars in the game can we please get some Lotus up in here!

Yeah I watched that last night, surprisingly great mini-doc. Made me want to jump into GTS and do some rallying until I remembered how terrible it is ha. And speaking of car sounds, that new Huracan sounds like a pack of angry tornadoes. I agree that we're going to lose something emotional with electric cars.

If you have Dirt Rally and VR do yourself a favour and get in the 205 T16. Best car in any game, one of the hardest as well but damn it is so much fun. Feels like the car is alive and wants to kill you.

I have Dirt Rally on PC, but no VR, it's going to have to get a lot cheaper first :( I should really go back to DR actually, played it a bit when it came out then got distracted by a squirrel or something.

On the topic of GT though, my motivation's been real low lately, I don't think I've turned the game on all week, just too tired/stressed. I guess going back to work after Christmas will do that.

Take the budget and hire less vehicle artists to hire more environment artists :P

Priorities.

DTM would be amazing. And as mentioned above by others there's also GTE and Super GT 500 and 300 classes. I'd personally like to see some open wheel classes be added, like Formula Renault. F1 is out of the question for obvious reasons but FR and Formula 2 should be possible.

Basically fuck the road cars, I'm not really interested in them.

TVR would be nice though.

Electric engines can produce just as much power if not more than combustion engines and the torque is much more immediate. I think electric is the future, and if it helps the environment significantly I am on board.
Group B were a beast because how crazy the tunes were. Like a bit over 1000kg and 500-600HP iirc.

amazing zoom in GT photomode oO

Wow had no idea you could zoom so much. Explains that close up pic of the jet in the discover section.

I agree with too much of this. I really don't get the interest with road cars on tracks they are a piece of shit on them. Let's create a game about racing and fill the game with cars that can't race and need significant changes to be even close to racing. At least GT Sport has the Gr4 class which are essentially your standard track cars to highlight the difference.

I'm cool with the F40 and other cars like that but they need road tracks that allow you to tack advantage of them, but GT isn't Driveclub I much prefer they added more real tracks from the well known to the lesser known.

Open wheel would be great there are loads they could mess with without getting involved in the bigger licences. I personally want more sports prototypes especially those from group CN.

That's what I mean though, from a technical standpoint, electric cars will eventually supersede IC cars in every department, just like diesel and electric trains have steam, but from an emotional and sensory standpoint there's nothing like standing next to a hissing, spitting steam train. It'll be the same with cars.

Ok another reminder - I can't make it tonight so if you want the event to go ahead we need someone else to commit to running it. The sooner the better really as people will need to add them to their friends list so they can find the lobby.

I'm not sure I have Oghuz as a friend on GTS, what's your username there?

I see friends in a lobby but I can't join, maybe I'm not friends with Oghuz after all
