Now let’s have a race A with this Civic Si at the Nordschleife 🙏

The Hyundai that car enthusiast sites have been cranking themselves translucent over?

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N 2024 review – the most engaging EV yet | Evo

Hyundai has used every trick in the book – and written a few new ones – to make the Ioniq 5 N fun to drive. The results are truly impressive

www.evo.co.uk

That Hyundai?

I actually think the Ioniq ticks all the boxes as a GT car, class defining handling, performance the grown up version of the I30N which was arguably the Focus ST main rival and better in a lot of ways.

So a solid inclusion and stays true to a car enthusiasts appeal.

And like you point out EVO say lots of very good things about it! I subscribe to EVO, but Car, Autocar and Top Gear have raved about it. But it's a lower volume focused car.

It is not a middle of the rung faux by 4 Toyota hatch. In that space I'd have thought in all seriousness a Nismo Juke aligns more with the game. But what do I know we have 2 Jimnys 🤷‍♂️

 

[Mafio]

And the Corolla GL or whatever was the best selling car globally for years.

Neither of these cars are class defining or drivers cars or tuners favourites just cheap and reliable and functional.

This is part of my point, other than accessibility and reliability in the corollas case I'm not sure what their real relevance is in a game predominantly focused on car history and promoting racing.

Popular doesn't equal good and all things being equal I'd put money on them being priced favourably and the world buys with their wallets and needs not what is the best car or track weapon etc.

@matrix_gt1 we all see and appreciate the detail and craftsmanship it's the choices they make seem rather self satisfying rather than user focused.

I mean they spend a lot of times making the car museums and rattle on around heritage etc but objectively looking at it there are a lot more previous title cars and tracks they could have brought back.

Then you have the Uras, great car but the Cayenne saved Porsche and was in previous games where as the Uras is a Chelsea tractor that ferries Tarquin and Tabitha to school in Kensington every day.

They have all the ammo all the passion and skill yet sometimes the decisions feel less than ethos or user centred and a little more self serving.

See this post:

Speaking of being old...I remember once upon a time, back when a Blockbuster date was a thing, the draw of GT was being able to drive real cars...hopefully YOUR car. How did we get here?

A car is with releases and sells like hot cakes in its home country and you don't(or won't) see the historical relevance? I don't think GT was ever meant to be a power fantasy. Believe it or not, everyone doesn't play games for that reason. Like I also said earlier, I think a lot of you guy's frustration isnt necessarily with GT, its the fact that GT is all we got so people keep waiting on GT to turn into something it never was.

 

[SnakeEyes427]

Oh boy!

Three 💩 boxes and a porcelain race car to drop them in.
Extra races that I can't have with having a PS4. (Sophie hates me. said I can't play with her kind.)
Some "I can taste the colors man!" Photo shots.

Oh, having the lot of the Group C cars will finely be worth something. At least that is a positive we can all enjoy.

Lets see, still waiting for B-Spec, a way to give full race street cars racing classes, a community used car lot and, the track builder.

I think you are missing my point. In GT5 we had the moon rover and a whole mission dedicated to it.

We had the top end models across a large swathes of manufacturers.

The point is and remains, my frustration is in that it is ok to use culturally relevant new cars (ioniq5 N) but that mediocre cars with nothing but mediocre events to run them in arguably in a class on its own.

Popularity is more to do with finance deals rather than adding to car culture in a meaningful way.

It's ok to be happy with the update, it's also ok to question it. Both things can be true at the same time.

 

[tankuroded]

FYI The C-HR was the 4th top selling car in Japan the year it debuted.

...only for the second gen model to be Europe only after it flopped in rest of Asia and North America. (Wonder if the sales eventually tanked too in Japan?)

This but unironically.

I am here to see how tomorrow we will get 200 pages of liveries and scapes from the C-HR🤭🤭🤭

I get what you're saying but I think you're missing THEE point. The GENESIS IDEA was to be the game where you were able to drive YOUR car on a race track without spending oodles of money. The C-HR is PD sticking to the original plan, staying true to what GT is, not what people want it to be. The odds are extremely high that someone...multiple people.....playing GT own a CHR, thus its in the game. Its not about liking or disliking the updates or GT even, to brutally honest its about folks tired of seeing folks cry over things they have no control over, never will and not realizing their river of tears are only carrying them further and further away from it ever being a possibility.

 

[DanteRaiden]

So many cool cars out there in the wild, but they picked the Toyota C-HR, the handsome concept that turned poop ugly for production. There isn't anything racing-inspired about it at all....

And yet

 

[Darla Starch]

The fact is we could’ve asked every person on this forum what cars they’d have picked for an interesting update and none of them would pick a SUV soccer-not-quite-milf material motor like the Toyota or the Hyundai over something which might actually be useful.

(appeal to popularity)

I would. I'm one of the normal car sickos who'd ask for more everyday rides just for the sake of variety in a game.

Having played this game as an import from GT1 that's not quite the Genesis of the game...

Nor was that ever the ethos....it was a celebration of car culture and homage to cars that were defining in theirs own right.

And of the time they actually launched the game at an intersection of tuning becoming popular culturally again after a lull of the hot rod/run what ya brung quarter mile racers. Europe and Japan mainly were mainly going in a different direction.

We move forward 20 years and things have changed, magazines and the boy racer as a social icon are gone.

What we have now is what we had at the beginning coveting the cars that our children's youth that they can't have mixed with all the cars of our youth and now we can't realistically have either.

What nobody is doing is walking passed a classic Renault 5gt turbo or V10 M6 and thinking "I hope they put the best selling car in Japan in the game instead of these nostalgic special cars"

The game was never about driving your own car.

To be brutally honest it's about people being that bothered that other people aren't over joyed with a mediocre update. Nobody is crying and if they are it's the same tears of disappointment for what the game is vs what it could be.

 

[Nakano219]

I just noticed the font for the racing numbers on the F3500 is the same they use for the numbers in the game logos. That's a nice little touch.

 

[SuperSportX]

Definitely looking forward to having the F-3500A in a F094/S/H, Williams and Lamborghini F1 liveries.

 

[MIE1992]

A Time Trial at Pikes Peak would be masochistic.

And three 24-hour races against only five AI opponents in GT4 - which (albeit understandably) lacked dynamic time of day - wasn't?\

(appeal to popularity)

I would. I'm one of the normal car sickos who'd ask for more everyday rides just for the sake of variety in a game.

I think there's a balance to be struck, here. For example, I drive a 2023 Kia Forte GT-Line, which I don't ever see being added. If any Forte gets added, it'd likely be the Forte GT, which has a turbo - and that's assuming the K4 doesn't get added instead, since it replaces the Forte. (Though I'd be fine with the K4, honestly.)

 

[Meythia]

its the fact that GT is all we got

That seems to be a pretty sad way to look at the console and other games.

The GENESIS IDEA was to be the game where you were able to drive YOUR car on a race track without spending oodles of money

Nah, GT never did that for me.
Though different Forza games did that, I never played them, for one because GT is the better game in my opinion, and also because I simply didnt have a console to play Forza on and when I did, it already was totally outdated.

 

[VXR]

Paid tracks also have a risk of breaking the playerbase (especially with Sport Mode). Remember the GT5 days when people could not race at Motegi or SSRX in a lobby because they don't own the track DLC?

Three years in, I imagine the player base that still exists are those committed enough to buy paid Track DLC. With the clamour for new tracks, I think it's the shot in the arm PD need.

I wish we got that instead. A c-hr gr4.

 

[Carpocalypse]

Is it just me or is Hyundai purposely not using the virtual gearbox? It wasn't there in FH5 and it isn't here either, at least to my (aging) ears

 

[CTznOfTime]

Well hopefully we modify it to that level

 

[newmedia_dev]

Well hopefully we modify it to that level

Joy

Edit: would have been better to have the AWD version as a starting point.

 

[Carpocalypse]

I just saw a comment on the reddit thread, does anyone else notice that the Civic's tyres don't use the updated Michelin tires, but the old ones, meaning this might have been recorded on a older build?

 

[05XR8]

Having a base level C-HR is too cute. The special trim Si is very Gran Turismo.

Tell my 2 jimnys they aren't special. I dare you.

Cute and useless at the same time. Next week weekly challenge special event will be the Toyota at lake Louise.

Yeah I'm all about striking a balance while keeping each game's USP.

Closest car I've owned that's made it into a GT game is a 2009 Hyundai Genesis (Game has a 2017 G70 instead) and am looking at a Genesis Coupe for my next car.

Current car ('99 Accord) wouldn't be the worst addition, really.

 

[the Interceptor]

I saw that, too. I would prefer the simulated gearbox mode, but it does make the car slower, so in the game the car is in performance mode, which is the quickest mode in real life as well. Maybe there is a way in the game to change the driving mode, but I doubt it.

 

[HarVee]

Yeah, roughly 10 million worth of credits gets you a muffler. Yawn.

They should give us a 10 million dollar car in return. Still to this day the Jaguar extra menu book is the only one worth doing.

 

[Ande3200]

Like expected a very weak update.
