Do you care for the Asian and French cars in GT?

[crooky369]

Read the FIA museum piece they've just added on GT Sport and report back which country the first Grand Prix was held in and what country the winning car came from.

 

[Victoria H]

Yes I do. I could easily list 100+ japanese cars I would like to see returning from GT6 in glorious PS4 super-premium graphics.

Also if you don't like Asian cars, GT might not be the game most suited for you.

 

[Satomiblood]

Could also just be some young naive kid

I'd be genuinely surprised if this wasn't a troll job.

 

[Furinkazen]

In a fact, the French constructors at this moment don't have anything particular worth mentioning in racing.

Le Mans is dominated by Toyota at the moment. F1 is dominated by Mercedes, WRC is dominated by Toyota or Hyundai, WTCC is dominated by Hyundai.

though, I could see the following French added in the future of GT Sport:

Pescarolo C60 Hybride - Judd '05
Pescarolo Sport Courage C60 - Peugeot '03
Pescarolo-Courage - Judd GV5 '04
Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Rally Car '85
Peugeot 905B Evo 1 Bis LM '92
Renault R5 Turbo '80
Renault Sport R5 Turbo Rallye '85
Renault Sport Clio V6 Trophy 24V '00

Ignoring generic wishlist rubbish.

Sportscars:
ORECA and Onroak (Ligier) own nearly the entire LMP2 and LMP3 classes with Norma.

F1:
Renault have a team and supply engines to other teams.

WRC:
Citroen for the whole of the 00s and indeed the PSA group were near unstoppable and they aren't completely dreadful in current WRC.

WTCC:
Doesn't exist... Because of Citroen.

Yes, of course.

 

[LotusEvoraGTE]

Why wouldn't you care about Asian cars in this game? JDM is practically the lifeblood of Gran Turismo as a series, the game's been chock full of them since the first one on the PS1. Plus it ended up popularizing the Lancer Evo, WRX STi and Skyline GT-R outside of their home country.

French cars are pretty awesome as well, this game made me fall in love with the 2017 Alpine A110.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Asian and French cars? What a strange combination. Why those types of vehicles in particular? I don't understand.

And all the other vehicles from these respective regions? You gotta be kidding me. I care for all these cars; there are some legendary nameplates.

 

[GT_Alex74]

I care about French and Asiand cars more than I care about your opinion.

Who's got an interesting thread I can move on to ?

 

[Nielsen]

Who's got an interesting thread I can move on to ?

I suspect the "Do you care for the American and German cars in GT?" thread will pop up soon. Hang in there.

 

[eran0004]

I suspect the "Do you care for the American and German cars in GT?" thread will pop up soon. Hang in there.

Since Le Mans is currently dominated by Toyota, it obviously means that Audi and Porsche has no motorsports heritage what so ever.

 

[Skollapse]

Haha! Amazing troll.

 

[TonyJZX]

This is the equivalent of "why isnt there a Nissan S14a Silvia in this game?"

 

[Strittan]

But there is a good reason the 2000 GT is nowhere near as generally famous as, say, the same era E-Type or Stingray.

Let’s say that’s true. Now, what on earth has that got to do with anything whatsoever? What’s your point? That we should only have the world’s top 5 most famous cars in the game?

 

[SjefGielen]

What a troll, and a lot actually fell for it. Bet this kid also started a thread in some Call of Duty forum asking if everybody there hates all the weapons available nowadays.

What a joke this guy.

 

[SestoScudo]

Instead of making an ignorant thread. Go google up on the Motorsport heritage of both Japan and France.

By the way I love Japanese and French cars especially their racecars despite me being a fan of Italian cars.

 

[TonyJZX]

PD is an Asian country... of course Asian cars will be front and centre in presentation and numbers for them.

France is one of the most important markets for PD and Sony... you know the ps4 dominates here and the French have an extremely honoured place for PD... you know how many events PD has in France and that Citroen GT thing dating back 10yrs AND the business relationship between Nissan and Renault... France and Japan and deeply intertwined.

Its inconceivable to think otherwise but here we are.

 

[Scaff]

Given the huge role France had in the history of motorsport, their cars are lacking in "motorsport heritage" compared to British, German, Italian cars. Seriously so, I would say.
Would you?

Renault's Motorsport heritage alone makes this comment absurd. Nor have they limited themselves to track based events, having a massive heritage in pretty much every form of Motorsport (as have pretty much all the other French manufacturers).

 

[TonyJZX]

The fact you have all kinds of people here from the British to Americans to Australians to Swedes to the Dutch all standing up for the French and various Asian brands just about says it all...

As a Ferrari Fan, Renault also ended the Era of Michael Shumacher's Ferrari.

One should put how many Championships Renault has won in F1 or has been part of. It's a hell of a privilege to have names such as Prost, Mansell, Hill, Villeneuve, Alonso and Vettel representing a manufacturer in winning championships.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love the see every car ever made in the game.
As to French cars and what I called their lack of "motorsport heritage"... We currently have 31 French cars - none of which being what I would consider an icon/classic (as I said, not counting current Bugatti as French here) aside from the Alpine. So, I do wonder why people would get excited about them. Ironically tho, the latest addition of my modest 1:18 collection is French...

 

[05XR8]

I just finished making an Alpime A110 GT4 replica livery and started looking up engine specs. Came across this link and then clicked on gtp for a thread to place this in. I guess Signatech care.

100% agree with you here for what it's worth. But completely disagree with the Asian bit in the OP.

 

[05XR8]

Remember, Kaz mentioned in a current interview by gtp, he doesn't go hunting for every car. Some people come to him. If Renault, Peugeot and Citroen want to have their latest cars, rather than classic cars in GT, that's what it is.

We did have the Gordini, R5 Rally, Clio V6, 2 CV, 205 Rally, in past GTs. We'll have to wait, as always, and see what happens.

 

[VXR]

Why are you not counting current Bugatti as French? It's hand built in France.

 

[ShiftingGears]

The French cars in the game do nothing for me, A110 '72 and Megane Cup aside.
