And the Jaguar XJR9's Slick Cut logo is blocked by blocks!

Forza Motorsport 4 begs to differ

That's strange. Is Slik Cut a cigarrette company also?

It is.

Fan made cars don't count

Can confirm - it appears that the default livery for the 962 in Forza 4 is the Repsol one. 💡 EDIT: Weirdly in FM4 it appears that the HB logo appears in the Quattro.

Thought the 962 was Rothmans.

Edit: Yep, its Rothmans. That Repsol livery was fanmade (hence, its not a default).


Now I don't know how Forza 4 managed to get a Tobacco Sponsored car when damn near every developer doesn't (even the official F1 games, including the ones with the classic F1 cars don't have Tobacco Sponsorship), but whatever. Somehow they did and no one else has.

Pretty sure it had something to do with DLC being unrated or whatever, so they could add in tobacco/alcohol liveries without having to go through the ESRB/regional equivalent.

It is Forza anyways, it's not like alcohol/tobacco isn't present by virue or user creation anyways

I believe the blocked livery on the Jag is used often in real life too at special events where they want to keep it G rated, but I may have mistaken certain GT pics for real life.

I agree, most of cars have an GT logo on most of blanks.

Like the Audi TT-R DTM, for example.

These are more of series licensing issues.

Yes, there is some of licensing issues, for example, the DTM, Dekra, 24h Le Mans...

A quick Google confirms that at least one XJR-9, chassis J12-C-688, has been run with a censored livery in real life.

But this car has an different livery and different front lights.

Camaro SS '69 (Look here for a picture of the GT6 Camaro SS '69:http://www.kudosprime.com/gt6/car_sheet.php?id=1031)
...

It should also have the grille painted black instead of grey, like above.

...

Except for cars with Tuxedo black exteriors. They had the silver grilles.

Chevrolet Camaro Z28 '69
Incorrectly modeled with a blacked out tail panel.

It shouldn't have a black grille either. All (non RS) Z/28's had the silver grille.

The car also appears to have long tube headers. Maybe a dealer installation but not factory. I don't think it's an issue of incorrect modeling so much as an issue of PD choosing strange cars to reference. Just like with that awful Cobra.

It would depend on where the race was being held. Some countries banned alcohol and/or tobacco advertising, others did not.

Honda Civic Type R (EK) '97

Should have 182 hp / 8,200 rpm according to dealership.

Actually has 176 hp / 8,000 rpm in the Garage.

Come on PD. Get your **** together!

V8 Supercars in Abu Dhabi is interesting to see the alternate liveries. I've noticed that Japan mainly has car parts sponsorship on touring cars, America has food and Australia has alcohol.

America still has alcohol, its just not as common as it used to be.

Nissan Silvia K's Aero (S14) '93

Dealership says 216 hp, garage says 202 hp

 

[tankuroded]

Xanavi NISMO GT-R '01 (PAL version): The full description of this very car (and the Cerumo Supra) contradicts the short description - it says that the Xanavi NISMO is the 2001 GT500 season champion, yet the Xanavi GT-R's and Cerumo Supra's description say otherwise.

 

[RACECAR]

Audi R10 TDI '06
Missing the "24 Heures du Mans LMP1" logo.

Audi R8 LMS (Team PlayStation) '09
Missing the "Zurich 24h" number box and "Destuche Post" rear window banner logo.

DeltaWing (Nissan) LeMans 2012
Missing the "24 Heures du Mans" logo.

Gillet Vertigo Race Car '04
Absurd specifications. In-game: 897 HP and 780 kg. Real life: 420 HP and 1100 kg. Also apparently has an incorrect livery. Also has either an incorrect livery or an extremely obscure one.

Lister Storm V12 Race Car '99
Weighs 1438 kg in game while it only weighs 1100 kg in real life. It also has an "incomplete" paint job.

Peugeot 908 HDi FAP - Team Peugeot Total '10
Missing the "24 Heures du Mans" and "P1" logos as well as driver names.

Peugeot 908 HDi FAP - Team Oreca Matmut '10
Missing the "24 Heures du Mans" logo as well as driver names.

Just wanted to do an overview on this list of cars to confirm or put an explanation on things:


Audi R10 TDI '06:
The car appears to be modeled as it was at Le Mans Test day in 2006

Audi R8 LMS (Team PlayStation) '09:
Car does not have the proper logos because it never actually raced. The actual Team Playstation car from 2009 did not have the number 5 on it, this appears to have been made simply as a subtle promotion for GT5.

DeltaWing (Nissan) LeMans 2012:
Car's livery appears to be as it was first presented at Sebring in 2012.

Gillet Vertigo Race Car '04:
Based on many pics of this car having many liveries and sponsors over the course of the season, its currently speculated that this car is likely wearing the team's presentation livery.

Lister Storm V12 Race Car '99:
It appears to be a modeled press car (with Prestige substituted with Polyphony as a way to deal with licensing)

Peugeot 908 HDi FAP - Team Peugeot Total '10
Confirmed as a Press car from 2010, as seen in both press pics and the 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours Flyer promoting Gran Turismo 5

Peugeot 908 HDi FAP - Team Oreca Matmut '10
Its the Le Mans Endurance Series car, just missing the series logo (Likely due to licensing).


I would also like to add a car to the list:

Pescarolo Courage C60 Judd GV5 '04

Car is simply a palette swap of the C60 Peugeot already in game (just without diveplanes). The real car has a much different rear wing and endplates.

Mazda RX-7 (FC) models all have the wrong weight distribution.
All are 54 / 46 when they should be 50 / 50

As it was added in GT3 with the Lancer VII WRC (we need it back!) and Impreza GC WRC which also lacked racing numbers, I always assumed they were modeled before the cars were ready to race. (I think they both lacked some sponsors too.) I think that's what you meant by press car. Perhaps they should be marked "prototype"

"Rally cars IRL do not use slicks"

well sorry but you will find at some events they do

 

[SVPSkins]

the Mini Cooper 1.3i is wrong as well. Since it's British and not German.

 

[mustafur]

I don't see how Mini is considered German but Seat is considered Spanish.

 

[HDT Commodore]

Minis being counted as German makes no sense to me, they are owned by a German company but loads of other manufacturers are owned by other manufacturers from other countries. I think that's what you mean mustafur.

Seat is owned by VW/Audi Group, so why is it not in the German selection like the Mini's?

 

[Harsk100]

And It isn't Mini Cooper 1.3! Is Rover Mini 1.3i. The old Mini's before 2000 are not considered as Mini Coopers, but just Mini's.
