Aston Martin DBR9 Confirmed for GT Sport

[05XR8]

Other than the Super GT cars, I can't recall(still haven't looked it up) if we've gotten a group of Gr.3/GR.4 cars in one update.

Did the Group C cars come at once(C9, R92CP, XJR-9)?

I mean, if PD want to package such cars in an update

To the above poster, I salute your taste in race cars!

Very nice addition but it does make me wonder if GT1 cars like the CLK, Murcielago, MC12, XJ220, or S7 would've been thrown into the group 3 category if they were brought in the game along with the Gran Turismo tuned LM Race Cars, and Touring Cars like the FTO, or RX7?

Touring cars I would hope could be thrown into Gr4.

If they were ever going to add late 90s GT1 cars ( CLK, F1 Long-tail, GT one, 911 etc ), would they also be included in Gr3 category, or rather in Gr2? These older GT1 cars seem to me faster, than the newer GT1 cars, like this Aston for example.

Gotta bring this beast back too. Been in the series since GT2, would fit perfectly

And why not throw in this monster, that's also been in past GT games?

 

[GTV0819]

Great addition! But that's the only new car?

You've guessed it, I guess.

 

[JTB10000]

More importantly I hope it sounds like this

Like most cars in this game, it will probably be semi-accurate in tone but not nearly as intense and loud as it should be.

 

[Timlour]

This but unironically


Crazy that asking for modern race cars is a meme now but whatever

inb4 “hurr durr adding the wrong cars”

Kaz is like a genie - you gotta be more specific than "modern race cars"

 

[SestoScudo]

Just when we beg for more racecars!!!

Kaz surprises us with the DBR9!!!

Honestly I never expected this car to ever come!!! I hope for more GT1 cars in the future regardless if it is GT sport or Gt7!!!

DBR9 GT1 2010

A new race car, and not a dreary road car that i'll never use.

Finally 👍

This is a real race car tho, not the GT original Gr cars.
GT needs to stray away from real stuff (except VGT) now.

I like the Gulf livery as a default livery for the car.

 

[ZedNinetySix]

Wait what? The DBR9 competed in GT500 class of Super-GT in 2009? Badass.

 

[GTP_Versatile]

Well alright, awesome!

We need a custom grid tool

Yeah, it also got decked by everything in the series that year.

 

[Stephan]

That grid filled with DBR9s. I can't wait for it to arrive in a update soon.

 

[DesertPenguin]

They said on the stream that it has around 600HP and less downforce than a modern GT3. That matters for stock no tune racing but with a tune we can simply raise the downforce ourselves

 

[MisterWaffles]

Yeah can’t say I’m too incredibly impressed with the car choice here. Shoehorning another GT1 car into Group 3, where there already exists a very similar car, and reusing the sound from said similar car. But now GT Sport is one step closer to replicating Forza GT, so hurray for that I guess.

(Of course I’m saying all this while simultaneously readying my paint cans for the next update behind my back.)

 

[ZedNinetySix]

Should have down-tuned for GT300 lol

 

[MisterWaffles]

Should have down-tuned for GT300 lol

It made little sense to field the car in GT500 in the first place considering it had a best finish of 14th in every race, which I’m pretty sure is dead last. It was 8 laps down on its first outing.

The Murcielago was a GT1 car that participated in GT300 before the DBR9 ever came along, so it had been done before and makes the GT500 entry make even less sense.

 

[ZedNinetySix]

No it's bad, but would stay best with Aston Martin Superllegera.
Other car more modern for game.

 

[Suzumiya]

RIP Gr.3 lol, it's gonna be 911 RSR Electric Boogaloo

 

[ZedNinetySix]

Surely it’s gonna be Gr.2... I mean, it did compete in Super GT in 2009, so if the ‘08 machines are there then surely this will fit in...?View attachment 891326

It finished last in every 2009 Super-GT race in its class though.

Ran by gentleman drivers and a privateer team directly against manufacturer teams and adapted to steel brakes.

Exactly, so no reason for it to be in Gr.2 as someone speculated only because it ran in GT500.

 

[Suzumiya]

GT1 cars are easily on pace with GT500 cars given the right team and proper tires. The MC12 here is adapted to steel brakes and has more weight but still is only 2 seconds back.

Why GT500 cars are in Group 2 but the DBR9 is in Group 3 is a mind boggling decision. Especially when before 2010 GT500 cars did not go over 500 HP.

Don't forget the Corvette C5.R, C6.R, Ford GT GT1, Nissan GT-R GT1 and Saleen S7.R. These GT1 cars are definitely strong Gr. 3's.
