Aussie Cars in GT7 - I wish

[05XR8]

Forza adds Aussie muscle to the franchise in its latest dlc. I’d love to know what licensing deal Microsoft-T10 have with Supercars. I know Skaife always been involved with the talks, but dang, is he kind of blocking Sony+PD? Do Supercars just not care to deal with PD? It’s just weird to me since the GT Academy GT3 and V8 Supercar entries, there’s been nothing happening.

Doesn't have to be Supercars specifically, I would love to see the Veskanda C1 in the game as long forgotten relic or the Brabham BT62 series.

If Supercars license is closely tied to Microsoft then at most we would only expect a single car under that manufacturers license like the whole F1 licensing shinanegons.

The Veskanda is definitely a motorsport gem worthy to be in the GT franchise.

It can’t be exclusive, as iRacing have just added the Gen 3 Supercars and the Bathurst 1000 is ran each year as a special event much like the Daytona 500/24 Hour.

Considering the added cars are 7 years old I doubt Microsoft still has an active Supercars licence.

Maybe thats what Kaz meant by “eventually”.

Wouldn’t there still need to be an agreement with all manufacturers and owners for all cars in a game?

I just posted this in iRacing.

Virtual Gen3 Supercars released

The iRacing Gen3 machines. The US-based platform has released virtual versions of the Gen3 cars as part of its ‘2025

speedcafe.com

iRacing’s collaboration with Supercars has previously included the development and release of Ford and Holden Gen2 and Car of the Future machinery.

Australian circuits currently available on iRacing are Mount Panorama, Phillip Island, Winton, Sandown, and Oran Park.

The Adelaide Street Circuit and The Bend Motorsport Park have recently been laser scanned by the service for future release.

Would be nice in a GT game.

It would be nice to be able to drive a Supercar with GT’s more forgiving physics. I’ve tested the old legacy VF Commodore in iRacing and I can’t do more than a few laps without binning it.

It can’t be worse than Forza’s forever spinning rear tyres.

It does irk a little that this month, iRacing is adding Gen3 Supercars, Forza is adding a few more Australian cars/utes, but as far as GT goes for Australian content apart from Mt Panorama and scapes, still nothing doing...

I am not sure if licensing issues would be a limiting factor given they are on multiple different platforms.

 

[05XR8]

I had to remember GRID also have Supercars.

 

[vipergts662]

Love throwing this thing around a track and would love to see some VE or VFs added to the game.

 

[05XR8]

Reminds me the G8 could be a possibility as well. We do have Pontiac in the game. Adding another USA marque to Brand Central is doable. At least the Judge and T/A would have company and what a nice Extra Menu Collection that’d be.

TBH, for some reason (maybe based in fact?) Aussie cars always seem to handle terribly on video games. Was it Gt Sport that had a Supercar? Was terrible to drive.

GT Sport had no Aussie Cars.

Only Aussie Cars in the series were the 2000s Ford Falcon V8 Supercar (GT3-GT6), Holden Monaro and VY model SS (GT4-GT6) and the FPV F6 and GT (GT4 only)

 

[05XR8]

Came across this video. I’m not going to get into a big discussion about the tracks from other games in the franchise, but that’s crazy they didn’t carry through to GT Sport and GT7. Anyway, the XR8 is just a no-brainer.

AHhhh it was Project Cars then.

Nobody is manufacturing cars in Australia. As soon as they all shut shop I stopped caring about Aussie cars. Back in the day, I owned VT Commodore, EF Falcon and WB Holden irl and they weren't that good. My Volvo XC90, ES Lancer and Forester are all better. If car manufacturing came back to Oz I would support it again. But I understand why Gran Turismo players want HQs and GTHOs but will never want Great Walls.

On demand cars haven't always been new cars. In fact nowadays due the manufacturers focusing on EVs and SUVs a lot of request cars are from the 2010s or older. Except for Race Cars

The fact they aren't manufacturing cars in Australia shouldnt be an excuse to not have them.

Standard without tuning maybe, but so are lots of cars and there was way worse than the XR8 Supercar (looking at you Lister Storm).

I seemed to do alright in it. If I remember correctly we were running 600pp (XR8 only) at Bathurst and I was into the 1:53's or 54's.

That's toooooo fast. About thirty seconds too fast.

No fear... and every go-fast tuning trick in the book will do that (gearbox flip, dirty oil trick, maximum ride height, maximum front downforce with minimum rear downforce, zero camber and some trick suspension and diff settings Edit: Almost forgot... and a Stage 3 Turbo with a bit of ballast)
