In GT we have available several cars, of very different types but, sooner or later, we tend to always use the same cars because are better for racing.
But why am I not driving at least 80-90% of the available cars? And why they are releasing another “mom car” (cit.)?
I think that the main problem of all GT series is that every car you get, you must use it on a circuit.
So, there is no reason to take a car as it is and go to the track.
You immediately feel the need to upgrade, otherwise breaking or taking a curve with high speed will be awful.
But also, the game put you immediately in competition with other cars, and then you need to be faster to be sure to win... and you start adding turbo, reducing weight and other stuff.
What happened to the original car?
You have already transformed in a Frankenstein...(and maybe it was never supposed to be like that)
For me what it is really missing in the game are at least 3 or 4 real roads, those that you could find on Switzerland Alpes, or one of the famous B roads in UK, or an Ocean drive in California, and so on.
You don’t have to race, you have just the opportunity to take a car and have a drive with different situations, roads with a series of uphill and downhill, maybe with a little bit of traffic that you can overtake when possible and all that while you will be driving from 15 till 30 minutes to reach a destination.
Then you will start seeing the cars under a completely different light.
It will be more natural to take a car with 90-140 hp and see how it behaves in those conditions and then after a while you jump on another car to make a comparison.
Then it will be possible to compare similar cars with different weight or traction to understand which one is more pleasant to drive.
At this point we would have a “real driving simulator”, because you are using car in a real-world situation, on existing roads with existing traffic conditions, and you will be able to compare and see the differences.
You can take the same road with a car of 60 years old or just recent and then appreciate how much the technology changed the comfort and increased the average speed.
It would be boring?
Highly probable... but at least you are on a real driving simulator and if you get just a basic car you cannot complain...
Ps.
I apologize if you have already discussed a topic like that. I am quite new and I haven't found something very similar.
