Well F1 is switching engines soon, they could throw one of the old ones in it that they won't be using anymore...

TBH the fan could still be implemented in it's design, just not as powerful as the one in GT5. The Brabham and the Chapparel were fan cars and managed to avoid ripping the drivers face off in the corners. However a 5G would be a lot easier to build, essentially an F1 chassis with covered wheels/cockpit and an uprated engine. Could be used as a testbed for next years RBF1 engine perhaps?

Man, if this goes to a real X1F1 car, even powered by a LMP2 engine or the new V6 engines F1 will be using, I'll be in total shock that it's finally racing in the Formula 1 Series.
Can't wait to hear more good news about this project. 👍

I absolutely love Kaz's involvement in real world racing, it sure makes me look at Gran Turismo as more then a video game.

If they are making the X2010 then that is awesome, or could be translation and interpretation being a bit off the mark. Anyway if it does happen, TMG long project might be relevant to it and Kaz has said before his team want to make their own car.
Performance target will probably aim to be faster than any F1 car there has ever been and by quite a distance while also still being able to driven by a human. I suppose if they do manage to get their estimated downforce levels of virtual X2010, the human driver factor could be solved by using Pirelli F1 spec tyres which will degrade quick enough to make car slow enough for humans to drive

F1 is a strictly regulated series, there's no room for an X1 there. Perhaps it could run in Le Mans as an experiment car, provided that it's safe to drive. If it performs anywhere near the same as in GT5, the FIA will classify it as a weapon of mass destruction and place an embargo on Red Bull until the car has been safely destroyed.
Or they get one of those automatic Google drivers (Bob, is that you?) to do the job. And let no one go near the test circuit!

Exactly eran0004! The ability to make cars so fast that any accident has the energy of a aircraft crash has existed for a good while, which is why F1 Engines have come down from 3litres to 2.4l and will soon be 1.6l, although they will be blown there is a limit to maximum boost allowed so don't expect close to 1000bhp in qualifying like the old 1.5l Turbo cars managed.
FIA keep reducing the wing areas allowed in order to slow the cars down in corners, but, after each reduction in wing area, lap speeds tend to get back to last years times in about half a season. There are a lot of extremely clever people in F1!

Tires for this year's GT-R he'll be driving at the Nurburgring 24 hr?

Sounds to me like he had them shipped to the PD office in Japan from Europe. Why? Who knows...

"The first step in [car] setup begins from measuring tire performance with a test bench.
Medium Slicks (Nurburgring-spec) for the GT-R GT3 have arrived from Europe.
Leaving them in the office [makes them look] enormous."

Thanks! 👍
For GT6's tyre model!?If so, than they're really working hard.
How do you equate shipping one set of tyres to Japan as really working hard?

Those tire are edible y'know Just kidding, they might use the tires for data collection on the track, Yamauchi-san will fit his beloved car with a set of medium slick and dive it at the local track, gathering tire data My guess really.

Haha, same thing I thought as well when I heard about that.
I honestly don't understand how you can jump to that idea when he clearly says exactly what they're for. His GT3 Nurburgring car and this is the first test in setting up the car. Seriously, sending one set of racing slicks to Japan doesn't suddenly mean they're for anything to do with a GT6 tyre model.

Well, the tires were sent to the office at PD?
If I had tires sent for my race car. I'd have them delivered at my shop.
Maybe his shop is one person ran (himself) and he will truck them over. Maybe his shop is in the back of his office building.
The translator did say test bench. This is for data collection.
However to say the theory about tire model isn't valid is silly. There is a glimmer of hope.
Let people dream a little geesh.

I'm pretty sure GT5 has a tyre model, otherwise there wouldn't be tyres in the game.
Anyway, there's plenty they can learn about tyres just by having them in their hands to play with, they don't even need to hook them up to any kind of special measuring equipment. I expect that they will, though (I would if they were just lying around like that)...
It still means nothing for the future of tyre modeling in GT, which is more than one-dimensional (measurements aren't everything - how do you go about reproducing those "measurements" in-game?).

Maybe they're gonna chop them into tiny pieces and use them for the scratch and sniff feature on the GT6 discs?

Looks like you are thinking of them modeling a tire visual wise. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, if so disregard my post.
Tire model is a term describing physics not visual.

I think he was talking about the physics, and that collecting tyre data does not automatically give an accurate tyre model in the game.
But collecting such data should at least give them a good target to aim for and to compare the tyre model with.
