Cool, but I'm seriously getting confused by GT's game plan now days. Hope to see all these past winners sometime in the future...

Car classes in GT:Sport should be revamped IMO if tuned cars are to be added. What class would this car be? Easy-mode way out probably and just Gr.X which just means one-make only.
Gr.X should be avoided as much as possible IMO, for example why is the BMW i3 there? It could as well be fitted into N100 IMO and with some proper upgrades it might as well be competent at the top of N100.

Perhaps they'll release a SEMA pack as DLC or something later on. That's at least where I hope the other cars went

Is it ironic the winning car did so because "Gran Turismo was about tuning a cheap car" and now there are precisely zero cosmetic tuning options?
EDIT: Wheels. At least we can change wheels.

I think the key figure is the year they started the SEMA award thing, and whats has actually made it to game....wanna say the Pebble Beach cars are supposed to be in too?
What good is this if what makes it worth winning never happens?
10 years out and you just made it into the game, after the car has been sold and redone 3 times.

I don’t even get how most these SEMA awards winners and Pebble Beach cars are supposed to fit into the current model GT is following. I mean some of these past winners are from 1950’s which obviously doesn’t fit into the current state of GTS...

Does anyone have a handy list of of the past GT award winners of SEMA?
Back to whichever the last car to be included was!
I know I could use the search function, but I’m guessing someone has an idea of this already...

Wow, I'm shocked the Civic won! <3 I must admit, that Beamer should've won though. The instant I saw it I asked myself how it would drive in-game. When I saw the civic, I thought, 'cool throwback-wait, is a '92 a throwback now a days?'

To be completely honest, I wasn't blown away by any of this year's finalists. I really liked the little AMC wagon, though — it was unique, polished, and well-built.
The Civic is still a great choice, though. While researching the car, I can see just what a reputation and history the car has. Irony aside, it really does represent the quintessential Gran Turismo experience in the real world, and for these awards, that is hard to ignore. 👍

Phil’s civic is my dream car, so hype if they put it in the game. His car is part of the reason why I own mine and build mine. (First inspiration was as a kid playing gt1 and driving the 92 civic SiR and type r for the first time)

I agree about Group X. A lot of those cars could probably fit just fine into the other classes. The i3 would be fine N100 or N200 if you could increase the top speed cause it actually drives quite well. Most of the Group X cars could do just fine in one of the main classes except maybe the Bugatti, 2X and the Tomahawks which are all way overpowered. Instead of having separate Group 1 variants the Group X LM55, McLaren VGT and Hyundai N 2025 could probably all be BOP'd into Group 1. And the safety cars will probably be just fine in the same classes as their ordinary counterparts.
As for this Civic I hope it's not a Group X. It should be fine in whatever N class.
