eventually the bank would have a GT Global recession, and the currency becomes worthless.......

I'd rather save up money over time, it makes buying the car you've been looking forward to drive even more rewarding. I don't even like to loan money from people, let alone banks, in real life. Currently contemplating whether I should bother my mum for $15 for mobile phone credit.

Yes, you could extend the idea a bit, couldn't you? GT Bank lends out way too much money to drivers with very poor race-to-win ratios, who end up defaulting on their loans. GT Bank then goes cap in hand to Polyphony Digital, looking for a bail out. Meanwhile, people stop buying cars altogether, and some of the car manufacturers start to go bust. Next thing you know, you're downloading an update that removes GM and Chevrolet from the Dealership section, although a few of their models do reappear in the FIAT Dealership.eventually the bank would have a GT Global recession, and the currency becomes worthless.......
I tend to agree with the majority of posters here, though - GT is supposed to be a real driving simulator, not a real life simulator - thank goodness
This.
Half the risk was racing for ages just for one car, then to blow all money on it and it turns out to be naff. But it's so rewarding when you save for a car, it may not even be that useful as racer, but when you get a car that's really satisfying you love it.
We've all had it, it's a central part of the game and it's a formula that has always worked, no need to change it. It's part of the reason it's good you can't test drive cars. Test driving cars kinda ruined PGR for me.
It would make it more complicated than it needs to be.
I worry about paying people back in real life, don't want to worry in game.
I didn't spend much of my money from GT4, still started with a crappy car and everything.

Even though, that idea would be interesting

very good sugestion because I think some people would want to take advantage of the situation and take the easy way out instead of doing races over and over with a slow boring car (esspecially one with no handling) just to save up enough to buy a better new car. Taking a loan to buy a car would spoil the essence of GT you should race to earn money , now taking a loan to repair a car ( a bail out ) when you are broken thats a good idea .
You mean from the starting loan to the time during the race when a giant spike comes out of the TV and stabs you in the face?
I doubt 99% of GT players would survive to finishing the loan, thus making the creditors in the GT bank highly reluctant to loan out 500 000 to pay for a Mercedes SLR to some noobish driver who's driving a second hand Nissan GTR who also happens to be broke.. XD

Mannn! if youre too inexperienced to win races and earn any money you don't deserve to be driving nice expensive faster cars. I think the same should apply with Licenses if you can't pass the driving test you shouldn't be allowed to race in the expert series. We don't need anymore punters driving fast cars that they can't control so no BANK loans. Earn your cars by driving well.

Great idea IMO always good to have a bit more pressure when your racing especially true when you have a bank manager chasing you!
But there would have to be limit on how much you could borrow depending on what stage of the game you were in it would be travesty to see LMP's in the Sunday cup...
Also it better not be stupid like other games (f1 manager) that as soon you into the red it's instant gameover 👎
