At 2:23 "Drifting is the becoming the chosen motorsport for the playstation generation, because it is perhaps the most exciting way the express yourself behind the wheel" Is there really any game that has drifting events or is all about drifting in the playstation generation or are they secretly hinting at that there will be drifting events in GT Sport?
Or nothing to be surprised at all

They've never made much effort to justify why they fake-balanced cars or got specs blatantly off in the past, and the times where they've tried (give the Shelby Series One car information page a read) have been pretty cringeworthy. The Veyron competes with the Miata because they said so would be more realistic than anything they attempted to tell the player in game.
The Playstation generation is now a thing of the past, I'd say it's about Forza generation today and GT relies a lot on its legacy.

Ok, I've just finished testing all of the N300 cars. I just want to let you all know that I'm terrible at driving around Brands Hatch, and I'm also not the best driver in the world by any means. Each car was given 5 laps, and I took the fastest lap from them.
Anyway...
Audi TTS - 1:49.398 - Great to drive, above average acceleration.
Mitsubishi Evo X Final Edition - 1:49.493 - Only car with 5 gears out of all the N300 cars. Somewhat fast.
Subaru WRX STI - 1:49.635 - Where is the torque??? Feels slow. Can get on the power very quickly due to it being AWD.
Hyundai Genesis - 1:50.142 - Pretty nice to drive, feels pretty neutral around the corners. Pretty quick. Apprehensive to slide out of corners.
Lotus Evora - 1:50.218 - I hated driving it. Slides around way too much; not very indicative of an MR cars actual driving characteristics. Somewhat fast. Gears take an age to shift.
Renault Megane RS - 1:50.279 - For an FF, it's pretty quick. Can't corner with as much speed as most, but can definitely hold its own. Needs more testing; the car is capable of a lot more, and I know I can go faster.
Ford Focus ST - 1:50.677 - Definitely the black sheep of the N300 group. Not too fast on the straights, you need to brake earlier than in other cars, etc.
--
There's a pretty big performance gulf between the FF/FR/MR cars and the AWD cars. PD should really work on the BoP so that every single car is competitive in the class; it's pretty boring to see TTS' and Evo's always in the Top 10 lap times, and taking up the majority of the places in N300 races.

A couple of weeks ago I did the same test.
My results of the N class:1. Mitsubishi 1:47.703
2. Focus 1:47.971 (the car is not bad at all, in my opinion)
3. Subaru 1:48.128
4. Audi 1:48.727
5. Renault 1:48.736
6. Lotus 1:48.866
7. Hyundai 1:49.215
In the end of the video duel of the fastest can be seen.
@TS050 Are you a wheel or a pad driver?

Who the hell said that? I like drifting but this is an outrageous claim... It's not the chosen motorsport for the PlayStation generation because, quite frankly, not many dedicated drifting games have been made!

Well, compared to Assetto C. GTSb is more forgiving, so maybe there is something left of the HoG.
I also have the aid always off. Maybe it's time to test the counter steer assist to see how much it helps as @Johnnypenso asked.

It's a hidden version of SRF. Gives you a gentle assist that sort of gives you a bit of added grip at the limit that goes beyond what should be possible in real life. @Scaff has talked about it at length and might be better able to describe if from a hands on perspective.

The description of the car in GT5 and GT6. It says that there are two versions of the Series One, the first had 320 HP while the second had 440 HP (not sure about the exact numbers), which is the one in these two games, GT4 and GTPSP, and that the reason behind the power increase is a mystery. I have no knowledge of that car, but a quick Google search brings up only the 320 HP variant, which us the one on GT2 by the way.
Was it playable? Did it show any specs? Seeing your post I assume that it has less power, but what about the weight?

The one in GT5, GTPSP and probably GT6 as well when you look at the car in your garage. I was going to take a screenshot but the date advance cheat in GTPSP isn't working for some reason.
The mystery is that the 450 HP one was actually supercharged, and the one they've put in GT4-GT6 wasn't. It was just the final production version of the car in GT2 with the wrong name. And considering the badly written second person idle wondering about how a car mysteriously came up with the horsepower it was claimed to have when it had a documented, infamous disaster of production history and PD had direct access to the car and presumably the company as well for modeling purposes, I can't really imagine how awful of a job they could do trying to justify in real terms how a Veyron could be made a feasible Miata competitor when they were the ones who made it so.
