...just to add some information about the McLaren 720S GT3 is... Struggling? Just very few teams have more expensive cars like Ferrari or McLaren. While the Ferrari 296 GT3 is struggling because of technical issues all year, the AF Corse one started to burn inside the pits in Spa this year, and AF Corse, that team that won LeMans this year, is far behind in all categories. While the "struggling" McLaren is leading the most competitive class inside the GTWC, the Bronze class, in Endurance AND Sprint (Garage59, #188 McLaren 720S GT3 Evo is leading the Sprint Bronze Cup so far, while after today's endurance race in Nürburgring the Sky Tempesta McLaren finished second and is still leading the Bronze Cup in the endurance category) and the Optimum Motorsport McLaren is leading the GT Open series.
It's more the opposite of struggling... Especially when you count that there just a handful McLaren on the tracks.
Back to topic. Licensing these cars is not the problem. As many of y'all already mentioned, ALL other games got newer GT3 cars. The problem is, it is the most popular class in the GT World, so it's understandable that FIA dropped GT7 and a lot of players are disappointed by the most outdated car list of all recent games worldwide.
Compared to Gran Turismo Sport, we are using the same old cars again. Just six years later!!! And they added ZERO new GT3 no models during that period. I mean real new models not just updated Evo's which is not really an update, as they look almost exactly the same. There is NO excuse for that except greed.
Like already mentioned, ACC got the license for the GTWC series, Championships, Tracks and liveries.
The cars itself are even cheaper to license without that official liveries, like they did with the Mercedes AMG GT3 2020 for GT7. But we have ZERO new GT3 models within the last six years.
And as a racing sim, I don't count any fictional GT3 cars or cars that never been GT3 at all in real life. So for all who wants to race in GT3... You can easily but the cheaper GT Sport, you get the same cars... Almost same game with customer races and even more endurance leagues.
I almost stopped playing GT7 completely, after I already had GTSport it feels like they just updated the game a little bit, graphics and physics and some new menus and stuff.
So in my opinion this game is in need of newer cars! And for people bothering that this game isn't a GT3 game, you are right. But that doesn't explain the hell outdated road cars too. It's the same cars with non GT3 cars too. There are zero Koenigsegg, no SSC Tuatara, no Glickenhaus, zero McLaren Cars actual in production, ALL cars in GT7 are outdated, especially when you compare it to other games.
That said, I would LOVE it when they update their GT4/GT3 cars. That would bring me back to play the game again. After six years it gets really boring using the same cars with already a newer GT Game... I just play ACC, a game from 2018, because they got the new cars for not too much money, and you don't have to buy the cars in-game to use them... But I love the graphics, sounds of GT7, that's why I would love the addition of new cars, and maybe add some qualifying for custom races, then I would ONLY play GT7. But for now, I play everything EXCEPT GT7...
Because I feel really fooled about the amount of money they demand for the game AND the prices of the cars in-game. If you demand so much credits and money, how can you offer the most outdated car list of them all... Don't let blind yourself of free updates... With zero relevant new cars, tracks, but updated music rally and other millions of Japanese cars that already exist in hundred of versions....
So I love your idea with all that replacements of GT3/4 Cars. I really wish they will come, but to be honest... Look at all the updates to this year... I fear it is just a dream
