Sweet, Silverstone or part of has been scanned by the Gran Turismo crew 👍
No word on if it's for GT5, 6 or 7 though
Hell yeah! I would love to see Silverstone (or any new track for that matter) as DLC content for GT5. However, I'm really hoping that PD isn't waiting for the PS4 launch to release GT6.

Damn, should be call the wambulance forbthis tire thing? I like a mix of everyone's ideas, first look at its purpose, was it for street/show or race/track ready? Both of the 86 concepts are for sure street. The can-am mustang was for sure teack prepped. The re-amemiya is a street tuner. We should loom at the build intent, and if in doubt, what are the default tires.

Btw. KB, all rules are open to change up to 24 hours before an event. So technically, though very unlikely, a whole gambit of rules could change just like that on Friday. Though it would probably wait till the next Monday.

I was thinking suspension....but I notice the McLaren has fixed sports (458, Gallardo, Ford GT, Viper ACR all have the standard ones) so that could open another debate :/

Jbica does have a point that Hillracing knew (or at least had a hunch) the car was a tuner car. Yes, it's in the Toyota dealership, but it has GSports (the name of the tuner) in the title of the car.
This is a copy paste of his original post with his selection:
For my prize selection I chose to keep the track and change the car to:
Toyota FT-86 G Sports Concept '10.
I really think that track is interesting but needed something harder to drive. This should fit the bill but not to the point of being too difficult. Hope this doesn't fall under a tuner car for any reason because it's good on SM tires and RH would make it way too easy to drive.
I say let Hillracing make another selection and in the meantime make a decision on weather or not to include tuner cars with race cars. Better yet would be to put a list of the tuners from the premium dealership together and divided them between street and race.

Can someone give me a run down on how colors work? This past week we had several of us in Silver. Not that it matters. However the pictures after are much better with a variety of colors on track.
Also jumping in Div 1 room and gonna run some races to break in the new cars.

If we decide that all tuner cars deserve race tires (as the current regulations are listed), then of course we would allow Hillracing to change his selection. However, as mentioned earlier today, the lumping or tuner cars with race cars was not necessarily the right thing to do.
I've been going through cars to see which ones come with adjustable downforce and which ones do not, but I've found some examples that don't necessarily make that a full-proof way to look at it. Your idea about putting a list of tuner cars together and pre-designating them as either "street" or "race" is probably the only way to settle the debate once and for all and avoid ambiguity down the road. 👍
Anyone want to volunteer for that?
His color might also make him look like Krusty the Clown (just look at his avatar). Either way, you're right about not making him angry. I wouldn't want to be locked in a dark room with either the Hulk or Krusty. Nobody is likely to survive either scenario.
I like Skills idea of the Hulk better than Krusty, so I changed it.... LOL

In making the list, it's obvious that the GSports F86 is going to fall under the "street" class so is it safe to assume that we are rolling with it this week on the sports tires?
I will also put a list together and then Dabneyd and I can compare lists before we announce it.

1970 Ford Mustang Trans-Cammer - Race - I mean, there's a net in the window!
High End Performance
G37 - Sport - I went back and forth on this one, but I'm going to guess that the intent on this car was to make it street-legal, just kind of insane.
HKS
CT230R '08 - Race - It's a circuit time-attack car, I'd guess race tires...

Premium Model
Standard Model
Please list any changes/suggestions that you see. I'm working on adding cars from all manufacturers, but this is just the tuner companies so far.

To add to the debate, this is one of maybe three or four cars that we will have this issue. We should resolve it now before it happens again. It's bought direct from toyota, so in my eyes it isn't a race car. That simple in my own opinion

I looked at all the concepts and tuner company cars in the premium dealership. The only concept car that would be on the "race" side was the Lexus ISF Racing Concept. All the other concepts are street cars.
Concepts Street:
BMW 1 series concept
Daihatsu OFC-1
Infiniti Coupe Concept
Isuzu 4200R
FT 86 concept
Nissan GT-R Proto
The tuner companies:
The only disagreement I have with Dabneyd's list is the drift cars and the High End G37. The Blitz ER34 and the AEM S2000. These cars have full cages in them with adjustable suspension. To me, they are purpose built cars for competition on a track. They are just meant to look like a street car.
The High End G37 has a full cage in it as well. To me, anything that has a full roll cage is a purpose built track car trying to hide out as a street car.
