GT5 Latest News & Discussion

Errm ..... No not really,can you imagine being taken out from a love tap in your rear corner from someone who isn`t as clean a race as yourself and spiral into the wall and can`t afford to repair your cars damage. You would be mighty ticked off right??

I would assume that the repairs would be deducted from winnings (At least thats the most logical way to go, if not the best way to do it). Obviously you can't deduct past cr. 0, so I would assume it would deduct only the total of the race winnings if its over that amount. What I don't want to see is repairs costing more than the prize money, causing your total credits to reduce.

I mean visual parts, mechanically all cars have to be same.

If you're talking about bodykits etc. Then that can't be done, as the body customisation is going to affect the aerodynamic and handling characteristics of the car. So different bodykits are going to affect the car differently. That is according to an interview with Kaz.

Special paint jobs or vinyls if there is a livery editor would be ok.

I would like it the way it was in NFS Porsche. You bought an used car, it had some mechanical and visual damage that you needed to care of. It costed some serious credits.

With all the talk about online trading, livery editor or general customisation be it purely mechanical, visual or both i was wondering if anyone would like the idea of creating their own brand to sell online.

Just like Ruf or Alpina or any tuning company basing your own cars on existing models and after customising them, slap on your own chosen name and self created logo and start flogging it online.

Apologies if anyone else has already posted something similar:

Hello from Amazon.com (US).

We have received new release date information related to your pre-ordered video game in the order you placed on September 14 2009 (Order# *snip*). The release date for the video game listed below has been changed by the publisher, and we want to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date:

"Gran Turismo 5"
Release date: November 01 2010
Estimated arrival date: November 04 2010

Yes, I'm aware this is hardly definitive, but I thought I share anyway.

There are three cars with which I hope we can produced what would have been an epic race that never occured in real life (lamborghini didn't enter in competition at then and, legend has it that Ferruccio Lamborghini has imposed has an unquestionable condition to give a green light to the Miura project that it wouldn't ever be raced):

Ford GT40
Ferrari 250 GTO
Lamborghini Miura

Is that even a race though?
The Miura was not really a very fast car, more of a soft GT car. The ferrari was a race car but it wasn't that light and it wasn't very powerful. The GT40 would have no problems with either of the two cars. It would be sort of like Racing the Enzo FXX vs an Alfa 8c and a 599.

If it would be in the same manner as Alpina or Ruf(starting with bare shell) then I'm all for it. Otherwise it's just porsches and a BMWs with body kits. At that point, I don't see it being allowed to sell a kitted out M5 as a DaveSz Annihilator RS-R TypeS Spec V Nur.

The thing with trading, it that it was never really 'trading.' It was just buying them from your friends. But not really buying them from your friends, because the money didn't go to them

The Miura was not a soft GT car, it was the first mid engined supercar before the term supercar was even invented, the term supercar was actually first used by a car journalist to describe the Miura.

The Ferrari 250 GTO weighted little more than 1000 Kg and had approximately 300 Bhp back in 1962 and is widely regarded as the best balanced road/race car Ferrari ever build including all that came after.

( That's one of the reasons, apart from racing history, rarity etc. it commands prices starting from 10 million to 25 million pound today, don't know the current exchange rate to dollar ).

Me either but that would be a lot of jing. $$$$

 

[CoolColJ]

The bumper flapping to me looked more like a "glitch" most of the time more than anything. In one frame it was normal, then one frame was offset slightly, then back to normal. The door being open looked more promising.The scratches people talked about earlier were from the very beginning of the video.

WTF - what are you smoking?

I believe it would be a though fight between the italians, but the GT40 could win easily (Come on folks, it's a racecar, not a GT car!).

Also, if anybody is amazed that a 250 GT0 costs up to £25,000,000 then I'd want you to take a look what this would mean in my local currency: $71,815,512,364.48 Colombian Pesos! , and the "Minimum wage" here (what around 50% of the population earns) is around $400,000 (or US$200).

Jeez...if it weren't for simulators I'd never have the chance to drive this astounding and marvelous machinery!

Well to explain the astronomical price it commands somewhat, it is the most sought after Ferrari and they only build 36.
Apparantly there's a Japanese collector who owns 3 GTO's, hope Kaz knows him so he can model all three.....

And i guess many millionairs will also only able to experience the GTO if it was included in GT.

To justify the price of a Ferrari 250 GT you don't need to talk. Just copy and paste:

Nothing more said. Only "Happy Birthday King of Cool, Steve McQueen".

That's the gorgeous 250GT Lusso^, my personal favourite.

This however is the 250GTO, completely different, and much more expensive .

 

[eSZee]

Nothing, but I think you might be on something. Look at the video again and tell me that there aren't many instances where the bumper looks to snap in an out of place in the time of a couple frames. If you can't see it, not my fault. Towards the end the rear bumper is hanging off the right side and that looks good but the front bumper looked half assed and glitchy at best.

That's why I just said "a Ferrari 250 GT" .

Yes, sorry about that , however since you mentioned Steve McQueen i remembered one of his famous quotes ( from the movie LeMans ) which somehow sounds quite apt regarding our long period of waiting for GT5;

"Racing is life...everything before or after is just waiting"

The best movie in the history of the world. Nil said.

-"Why is it so important driving faster than the others?"

-"Many men go trough life doing things badly, racing is important to men who do it well. When you're racing, it's...it's life. Everything before or after is just waiting".

Or at least, thats what I remember of it. I agree, GT is quite like this line sometimes. In fact, everything you enjoy to do in your life is like this line by Michael Delaney.

I actually own a DVD of that movie, the basic storyline is rubbish ( there isn't even really a storyline to be honest ), mainly watch it sometimes for the cars as they seem to be the real stars.
Only bought it out of nostalgia because i first saw it when i was about 7 years old and it made a huge impression back then.
It was actually a bit dissapointing to find out it wasn't much cop in my opinion, as some things are best left as a memory.
Love those 917's though...

I'd like to discuss that with you, since I disagree (I adore the plot!). But I believe it would be best if we did it via PM or Visitor messages so we don't clutter this thread .

Again, it's just an idea. With a little thought, I bet it could be a pretty cool feature. But, still, GT5 IS a game. So I do not know how many would be in favor of such penalties.

The Miura is anything but soft & does not fit into what classifies a GT car. The Miura was also capable of 170Mph+ & had 350Bhp in the early 60's. It was a very fast car back then.

What's funny is that road car-vs-road car, the GT40 Mk III sported only 315Bhp, & only topped out at 164Mph. Trying to compare it to the race car though is silly.

That sums quite a lot since Gamescom 09.

Hmm, interesting. I thought the relation between the road GT40 and the race GT40 were akin to the ones between the LMGTP era of homologation specials (Like R390 GT1, Toyota GT-ONE and such). I'm interested in the specs of both race and road GT40's, since I've only been able to fidn one set of specs and I presume they're only for the racing version.

So, thanks for pulling me out of my ignorance McLaren. I believe that, as always, a Lamborghini would be the winner!

As far as I've read, the Mk III GT40 was the road-only model & was based heavily upon the Mk 1, except that it was just detuned to 315Bhp from the Mk 1's 390-400Bhp mark. It was still a faster car to 60 though.

The mk3 had 335hp just like the mk1. The mk3 was just a mk1 with softer suspension and lower CR, 9:1 vs 10:1.
As for the Miura being very fast for it's time, I never said it wasn't.
