Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Mafio]

Throw in the non-zero probability of not having access to (near-)mint original-spec cars to scan to 8K/high-quality audio standards.

ON TOP of the fact they go by TVR Electric Vehicles Limited now.

400 Z

It's not a 400Z. Not sure how everyone got to calling it that when the Z car has always, since the very beginning, been named after the displacement of the engine. Not the horsepower. So the current Z, if people want to make up a name for it, would be more accurate as a 300Z.

From what I remember the Q50 is dead

Doesn't mean it can't be added.

Feels like if you want ANYTHING remotely BTCC associated

Doesn't have to be BTCC. Super Touring was a global category.

Except that's NOT why I called it that? I just went off the previous naming conventions, its not that deep.

It could, but I don't see alot of people exactly clamoring for it (or for ANY Infiniti for that matter). As I said, I don't exactly see a massive desire for Infiniti beyond what was already included here or any other game for that matter.

While indeed it was, I get the feeling far more people are interested in the Ford Mondeos and Nissan Primeras and Audi A4s then they are of say, the Dodge Stratus:

Likewise, I think more people would want the Honda Accord from the BTCC then they would the one from the North American Super Touring Car Championship (A series where the Dodge Stratus was the biggest factory supported effort while everyone else was just far smaller privateers AND had the unfortunate distinction of being run by the same sanctioning body that ran CART as a sideshow to said series and not as its own main thing).

Look no further then the "Super Tourers" in Grid Legends or even the "Super Touring" Car Pack in Raceroom. As far as I can tell, when people hear "Super Touring", they think BTCC.

...as someone who gets nostalgia from 90s Mopars and started on Gran Turismo 2, I'd love to see a Dodge Stratus.

JTCC wouldn't be out of the question though. Primera, Bluebird, Corona, Chaser, Sprinter, 316(?)/320i, Exiv, aforementioned Accord, Civic.

Super Touring was a mix in GT2 anyway. We only need the road cars in GT7. I mean, that's what we've been getting to make any kind of series in this game.

TCC wouldn't be out of the question though.

Or ATCC.

The point is, we're talking about the super touring category and the cars that make it what it is, not any individual series. Licensing would be strictly a manufacture thing.

And I will gladly take that Stratus, too. It would be better than another useless VGT or Toyota van.

Who owns the rights to DTM? PD used those three letters for the Weekly Challenge. We've only got one official DTM regulation car and one ITR represented car.

Isn't quite a lot of DTM seemingly exclusive to RaceRoom?
