It's PD we are talking about, they have developed a feature that a very small percentage of people will actually get to use(GPS Data Logger), plus day one patches to activate online content aren't all that rare. Of course I could be wrong, but at this point I think it's pre-mature to get your hopes up for much more than a functionality patch.

Agreed, it was a very silly move...
anyways I'm pretty much happy with the game so far (things from leak)...

Don't flatter yourself; it has nothing to do with who posts baseless claims - if I notice an obviously wrong statement, I'll point it out. You just happen to make more than the average poster 👍
I don't have to have a game running in front of me: Google does just fine, and it took less than a minute. Seeing as there isn't a precedent for imaginary interiors in that game, I've no idea why you'd expect one.
On the contrary; I'm saying I'm positive PD would have far more details on the Furai than the simple Standard present. They've been documented taking interior shots since the PS2 days; it's a good habit to have if you've already gone to the trouble of securing the car. It's a pretty basic rule of jobs like that to get more than enough reference material.
You were saying?

That actually isn't far from the truth at all. The Furai was based on the Courage C65 LMP2 car that Mazda themselves raced. About the only thing different about the Furai was the coupé body and the rotary engine by Racing Beat.

I'd like to report a mod for abusive behavior. My opinions do not qualify as baseless statements. And while you say you don't single me out, you sure do comment negatively on a lot of what I post. And you do it in an very rude and abusive way, and I don't appreciate it. There is a better way to say these things, which, I've already given you an example of, but you, of course, decided to spit in my face. I assume you've already gotten a warning from our last exchange.
It's Christmas. Perhaps you should take a nice long, relaxing vacation, Slipz. I don't post baseless facts nearly as much as you think I do.
And the Furai's body would change the handling of the car. There is a reason why it was given that body. While it maybe a LMP2 underneath, it's still technically not an LMP2. It was more of an LMP2 Concept. Meaning, there's still really no way to know for sure how the body would affect the handling unless you actually drive it, which you can't do anymore. Remember, a computer simulation is pretty much just a calculated guess at how a vehicle handles. It could be spot on, or it could be completely off. Which is where the real world data gathering is useful. Granted, the simulations are getting better, but you still need real world tests. But, I'll admit, since it's based on an LMP2, testing one of those will HAVE to do for now.
As for the interior. *shrug* Considering that the car hasn't been made Premium yet, I don't know if we'll ever see it as one. I agree that PD most likely took interior shots. And who knows, they could prove me wrong by popping out a Premium model soon. That said, however, I believe GT5 had the only "Road going version." Everyone else had the LMP2 livery design. Perhaps PD got a look at a different car...or simply worked a bit more closely with Mazda. Who knows. We'll see how this story ends. It would be nice to see it converted to Premium. Still, as I said, with only really old data at their disposal, it's doubtful we'll see it in many more games.

Check some of the photos in the Photomode forum. It can be easily seen that the polycount is still low.
Here for example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr-panadol/11129900615/sizes/o/
edit: Hm.. my bad. In fact tesselation is present during race (or photo mode during replays) but it's not in the Photo Travel.

Hate to break it to you Mr. mod but the Furai burned down years ago. Any one who claims to have an accurately modeled interior to it is a dirty liar. Mazda kept he car under wraps and even when it burned down they were keeping a close eye on teh top gear team, the idiots put the wrong petrol in it and bye bye furai!

Lots of companies keep certain cars under wraps, yet developers still manage to get a hold of them and model them for games with rather high detail.
Also, it's not like nobody's seen the interior before.

That may very well be the most backhanded defense I've ever seen on GTP.

Or they could simply be telling the truth. There are shots of the interior floating around the internet and they are not hard to find. So much for it being kept under wraps.

Top Gear (the magazine, not the TV programme, they're two completely separate entities) did not put the wrong fuel in the car. It seems pretty impossible to do so when the car was being taken care of by Mazda engineers.
And the Furai was definitely not kept "under wraps"; it was still doing rounds on the motor show circuit, interior in full view, when the magazine got hold of it.
As I have said earlier, Polyphony no longer test the real car to learn the car's behaviour (indeed, I'm not sure they ever did). It's pretty much impossible to secure all 1,200 cars to test them out, especially as some of them are priceless one-offs and never allowed onto the road or track. Instead, they simply feed the car's performance and suspension data the manufacturer provides into the physics engine, and out spits the handling model of each car, used in the game. It's fairly accurate and much more practical than testing the car in real life and tweaking the handling model by trial and error.

Yeah, but I'm talking about the tyre type next to the tyre load/temp indicator
The expo builds have these, the retail build does not.
They had to send off the retail build to get certified and manufactured at least a month ahead of release date. PD were scrambling to finish the game since then, pretty sure a lot more work has been done since then.
Kaz even announced a large day 1 patch quite a while back

I know what you said. So you're expecting the retail version of the game to be older than a version shown at an expo which usually ancient builds? That's what I was getting at.
From what was said, the gold copy wasn't done til a week or so ago.
Maybe they took the tire type out because it makes little sense to have it there?

It seems like some guys managed to hack their saves and add credtis. Does this mean hybrids will spread again? pls no

It's inevitable, let's be honest.
