It would be great if they made a PD stock car like the F1500T-A. I’ve seen an awesome Silvia Touring Car made to look like a stock car, but it would be great if we can have a real one.
I think a made-for-game stock car would be best, as it'd side-step any licensing hassles with NASCAR. I'm told that NASCAR's peak was in the late 90s/early 00s, so maybe PD could model their car after one from that timeframe.

If I had to pick just a single real-world NASCAR machine, I'd want the #24 Jeff Gordon car that we were assigned for his missions in GT5. (I'd also wanna see the return of the Citroen C4 WRC that was featured in the missions with Sebastien Loeb, plus the Vettel version of the Red Bull X2010 for similar reasons, but I digress.)

Three cars from Japan and one from Italy. If there’s a circuit, maybe Tokyo R246? Or Mid-field. I doubt we’ll ever see Valencia in any car-based GT besides GTPSP.
 
i'm so excited about the new Scapes places, not for the cars or being able to sell cars, new tracks, new events etc... Bring the Scapes on !
Each area of the game has its importance. One of the things that made me a Gran Turismo fan was GT4's photo mode.

In GT7 I've taken more than 3.000 photos. ;)

Edit: 3.251, being more exact.

That’s what I meant, yeah, my bad. By “real one,” I meant a real PD stock car.

So I'm guessing they are going to mess with weather radar again as they hinted in last little patch?

TICKET SAVERS REMEMBER
- this is an early update, if they offer new menu/collection tickets, I personally would wait till later in the month to open them, to avoid expiration before November update.

Besides, I know alot of us are waiting for the unmentioned additions of engines/chassis for swaps, and bug fixes. And a "course" of course, a course..
Another 4 "meh" cars, A SCAPE..

Yes please either those two tracks, was just thinking about Midfield half an hour ago.
 
How hard is it to bring various events to the tracks that don't have them? Maybe if they started towards adding every type of event possible to every track it would keep people playing. You could even do the 600, 700, and 800 PP events on rally tracks with rally cars, sadly, though, no hypercars at Windmills or Fisherman's Ranch.
Let's not forget about the one hour endurance option also. We've already got nine of them (Human Comedy + Spa 800), why not more? Why not add in a two hour option? That's what the original endurance races in Gran Turismo were. Oraybr add in a flat 100 laps or a flat 500 miles or a flat 1,000km.

I've asked as much on many of there FB posts but they don't seem to respond to anyone via that platform let alone any others. A handful of of the tracks still only have 1 event on them outside of championships... it's madness... it seems such an easy way to pile in more content without a ton of game development.

I think half the problem is the menu system gave away too many cars... in older GT titles you would win just a handful of cars which usually were weak options for other championship/event formats so you would either have to tune them up or save up for a different car. They've over saturated the market it that sense plus the more recent GT titles have been geared to the high end cars which people want to buy loads of so demand more credits to do so... but rather than having prize cars to sell after winning championships over and over to bump up the bank balance we have to grind 1 or 2 20-30 minute events that aren't even real races, more like high speed obstacle courses.

I have quite a few negative opinions on GT5, but if there's one thing I have to give respect to that game for doing, was for actually trying out different racing leagues and stepping out of it's two confort zones that were Super GT and Group C, even if they were kinda half-assed.

It's just baffling to me that GT5 was the only game in the series that had NASCAR and actually tried to rally as it's meant to be done on the driving missions(as in, with proper stages and a co-pilot reading the pace notes out loud), and then PD just ditched both of them to do their take on the FIA GT and their VGT program, which I also hold quite a few negative opinions about due to its ever increasing focus with each new game installment and updates.

People might hate the VGT stuff, but it’s distinctive, exclusive, and working with real auto manufacturers for concept cars must make Kaz hard.

It’s were I learned about Drafting, especially those hard nascar missions and races we had to do!! Damn LOL I learned to respect NASCAR after that

I'm looking forward to the PSVR2 patch, considering the size of PD and these minimalistic sized updates since launch PD must be busy doing something else?
 
Hopefully this starts to open the door to other Maserati's under the license to come into the game. Also another brand that I thought may have some more offerings from is Hyundai maybe an I30N or even a non performance I30 at least would be nice. Also considering Kia and Hyundai are so closely related thought we may have had them in the game as well, a Stinger would be pretty cool to see.
 
Lol Yeah that’s not the same thing at all bud. But, The GT500 GTR in that pic you provided is something we also already have two of in the game. They’re fun to drive since they’re categorized as GR2’s in this game from all that aero the GT3’s don’t get.
Except it literally is, just with the 2020 Upgrade kit. Again, that's what's called an Evo.

Here's another Example: The 2019 Audi R8 LMS Evo

And here is the 2022 Evo II Upgrade:

Speaking of that evo , they could easily make the 2022 version from that 2019 since GT7 has that updated rear wing in the GT Auto

In the future maybe we will get that new Porsche GT3 , Toyota GR GT3 , Nissan Z GT500 , Nissan Z GT4 , Ferrari 296 GT3 and i really hope for the McLaren Artura GT4 and the 720s GT3

As for Maserati they can add the MC12 GT1 and GranTurismo MC GT4 so they can be good to go for the GTWS Manufacturers' Series, then for Kia, a Stinger Gr. 3 and Gr. 4.
