I'm not sure where to ask this question for the game developers, but here goes;

Why when I purchase and modify the 1998 version of the Lotus Esprit, and then purchase a 10,000 credit titanium exhaust system, why do the modified exhaust pipes sticking out of the back of the car still look like drinking straws????

Further to this question why does the car now sound like a hotted-up four cylinder car and not a V-8? Same thing with the Shelby in regards to the sound. Half of the allure of running a V-8 is the sound that it makes. The Ford GT models sound great!

If this post is misplaced, please re-locate it.
Thank you, Peter Marshall

Quick stop at Schulze Motorsports today.

Call me nuts, but I want Dacia in the next GT. Don't say boo. They can be fun!

Nice... thanks for the pic.

The game developers might browse this forum, but they won't answer any questions here. You're just asking a bunch of us random people that can't help you unfortunately. Sorry.

Any any sound related posts should go in the Sound thread.

"Yo, guys. What's this year's car gonna look like?"

 

[RACECAR]

Brace yourselfs, Overused GT-R/Skyline Jokes incoming.

 

[AKps3]

[CodeRedR51]

He did, I didn't share that as it's not really relevant.

 

[AKps3]

Great news! The Dacia Sandero and Duster will be part of the next GT5 DLC!

 

[Flaco13]

Toyota Motorsport in Cologne, he skipped Rüsselsheim, I'm pissed!!!

Still interesting he mentioned a project maybe the Hybrid LMP? http://www.toyotahybridracing.com/

 

[CodeRedR51]

Cologne, TMG. Long long project which begins with a kickoff meeting.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

It's Kaz's world tour of tuning

What is this shop known for?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Edit: My info was incorrect before. But I believe they are the company that ran the Lexus IS-F in the Nurburgring 24hr with Kaz a few years ago.

[GTPorsche]

I don't think they did. The pit crew was from Toyota Europe, but the race team was Team World Car Award.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

Hopefully Kaz was at TMG to gather reference material, including real sound, of the brilliant Toyota TS030-HYBRID. We will need the Audi R18 e-tron quattro to compete against though. No more '06 Audi R10 TDI v '10 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP nonsense!

Whats in Rüsselsheim if I may ask?

 

[kogunenjou]

Whats in Rüsselsheim if I may ask?

Opel, I'm guessing.

 

[GTPorsche]

Yes, Opel is in Rüsselsheim.

 

[Fryto]

-Sorry, please delete, apparently from a fake Kaz account, but was difficult to distinguish

 

[GTPorsche]

Yeah, Kaz hasn't tweeted since January 16th when the C7 and NSX were being revealed at Detroit Auto Show.

 

[E46fanatic937]

Instead of this Kaz needs to attend the hacking/hybriding problem on GT5 online.GT5 online is now officially broken

 

[Saidur_Ali]

TMG long project Kaz might be talking about might be related to Wind Tunnels and CFD. We know F1 teams like their wind tunnel, especially Ferrari. We have seen also a visual wind tunnel in GT too.

He is not a one man team. It is probably a slightly complex problem to fix but good that is being shown now, so hopefully GT6 will not have similar issues and also that it might be patched out of GT5 soon.

 

[CodeRedR51]

He is not a one man team.

This.

When people complain about things he does (traveling, racing) they forget that there's 150-200 other people back in Japan still working on things.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Adventures of Kaz continues.

He posted this, hard to make out. Sounds like he wants to build a real X1.

急に春めいてきたザルツブルグ。 マテシッツさんに出来上がったばかりのX2010のミニチュアカー、シリアル番号0001をプレゼント。 レッドブル・ハンガー７には、RB6と並んでX2010の1/1モデルが展示されていました。 これはライトユニットやインテリアまで再現した２世代目。 次のモデルもアイディアを練っているところですが、今度は本物を作りたい。 「もうやることないし、作るしかないだろ」というのがマテシッツさんの意見。 はい、作りましょう。 —

Google Translation:

Salzburg I've suddenly become spring-like. X2010 car miniature gift I just finished Mr. Mateschitz, serial number 0001. Red Bull Hangar 7, 1/1 model X2010 has been exhibited alongside the RB6. This second generation was to reproduce and interior light unit. I just have the following model conceived ideas as well, this time I want to make the real thing. "I can not do it anymore, probably not only make" The that says Mateschitz says. Yes, I will make. -

Red Bull hanger anyone?

 

[NFSCARBON1]

I translated the above transcription in Bing and by comparing it with Google's translation it seems that is a second model of the X2010, with working lights and an interior. It also sounds like Kaz has asked Mateschitz about making a real car, to which the reply is yes.

And if he wants something, he generally gets it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It doesn't even have to be all crazy like the game car, just one that runs/drives with maybe an LMP2 engine or something would be fantastic.

 

[TokoTurismo]

Agreed.

Would love to see the real X2010 thing run in real life against those cars. *.*

The 5G does away with the frankly dangerous fan, and the engine is basically a 2014 F1 engine with lots more boost...

Seems plausible to me.
