Love it, but please with the Bathurst winning livery. That one makes makes my eyes burn.

Weight1400KG (With Driver)

Thought it was even heavier

 

[Harsk100]

All liveries of Falcon, please! 👍

I got the details from the category website so hopefully they're correct. Put in a link also, in case they change.👍

2014

This thread is for the 2013 car - though I can't for the life of me tell if it's for a specific livery or a generic base model covering all liveries used on the 2013 Falcon.

Feel free to create a thread for the 2014 car, unless one has already been made. Threads are for one car only and adding more cars to the conversation only obfuscates.

The thead is for the 2013 model which would be near enough identical to the 2014 model with the exception of the livery (which is why I won't make a thread for it). I mentioned the 2014 vehicle simply to indicate the significance of the car in V8 Supercar history (a multiple winner at Bathurst, a track recently added to the GT series), and hopefully get some extra votes for the car. I appologise for any confusion caused.

Which of the two would you pick if it came to a straight 50:50 choice?

That's why comments about the 2014 car should be in a thread about the 2014 car, not the 2013 car. Besides, it's not like different liveries ever stopped PD from putting an entirely new car in the game.

 

[Tavilha]

I'm all for Base Models. And I'd be even more for custom liveries

The photo I selected for the original post was almost a random one. So basically, since the 2014 model is still the same car, I don't think PD-like approach of making a thread for each livery would be that great.

Personally I'd like them to introduce a Base Model for every race car they include. If we assume that a livery editor is, for some reason, not possible then this at least opens up some variety the game is otherwise lacking.

Nevertheless, this forum's requirements are quite specific that a thread should be for a car. I'm completely fine with this being for a generic Falcon FG V8 Supercar at the same time as being for the specific liveried one you posted, but other liveries should have their own threads because liveries can be iconic in their own right - if PD put in the Escort RS Cosworth, would you prefer if it was the Repsol livery (or Valvoline, or Michelin Pilot, or any of the legendary ones), or the Yacco livery? Gulf GT40 or BP GT40 (which is identical in design, but dark green and yellow)?

The same thing applies to cars of different years - especially if they're racing cars.

Yes I agree with the Base Model suggestion.

 

[Harsk100]

I also agree with a Base Model suggestion.

I agree, there's no point splitting an already small fan-base with too many variations of the same car.

You are not restricted in the number of vehicles to which you can give Likes...

True, but some people may not like certain drivers, liveries, or teams therefore reducing the number of total votes by variant.

But that doesn't take anything away from the other cars that they do like. In fact if someone hates Lewis Hamilton but likes Nico Rosberg, they'll vote for Nico's Mercedes W05, but not Lewis's - and if the thread is for Lewis's and exclusively uses pictures of the #44, they won't vote for it.

And indeed that's the whole point of this forum. To find out and to send the message to PD what cars people actually want...

If you like V8 Supercars support the other cars in the field:

Nissan Altima

Volvo V60

Erebus AMG

Holden Commodore

I agree. Why shouldn't we have as many V8 Supercars as there are NASCAR & SuperGT liveries.👍

 

[CaptainTNT]

I voted. Need more of the Australian car culture in Gran Turismo.

 

[05XR8]

That brings up Kaz mentioning he wanted more Australian cars in the game. It was in a GT4 interview. Anyway, two Holdens and one V8SC are definitely not enough.

 

[StarLight]

Very nice racing car ... voted!
