Row 2 Col 3 - Renault Megane Trophy

Renault Megane Trophy V6 (in order to avoid a duplicate :D)

IR
 
Evo IV | R92CP | Miura
Sauber C9 | Fiat 500 | Megane Trophy
Clio | GT86/FR-S | XJR-9

Someone should remind PD they already have Clio and GT86 :lol:
 
Well, we have a May update, awesome!

My guesses are:
Row 1 -> Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV + Nissan R92CP + Lamborghini Miura
Row 2 -> Sauber Mercedes C9 + Fiat 500 (classic) + Renault Megane Trophy
Row 3 -> Renault Clio Cup (we already have a fast, road-going Clio of that generation) + Subaru BRZ (road) + Jaguar XJR-9

Now, I have to confess, I'll have to look more forward to the tracks (if any) than the cars this month. This considering the fact I'm only interested in road cars post 2000, there's only one for me in the list and it's kind of a duplicate. Still, it's free content, so I can't complain too much.

Mine would be same now except I think Evo VI and not IV. I think that this has been one of the easier set of silhouettes

1 Mitsubishi Lan Evo VI GSR T.M. Edition ’00 (GT6 Premium)
- Premiums of the IV GSR ’96 and IX GSR ’05 exist as well so could be either one of these. Fingers crossed for the VI TME, probably one fo the most famous iterations of the Lan Evo.
The front bumper of the TME looks a lot different tho

What I'm not sure of is why PDI thought it necessary to bring it back?
Because it's always been one of the faster Group C cars in GT and at least I could handle it a lot better than the other cars.

Surely the Mazda 787B would have been a more popular choice given it's Le Man winning performance? Even better would have been a Le Mans dominating Porsche 956/962.
Agreed, I guess we'll get those soon™

5 Fiat 500 F ’68 (GT5 Premium)
- One for the livery editors eh?
it's fun to drive, too :D

I think it's the on the right in the mid column is the Megane Trophy.
The car in the teaser lacks the rear wing entirely tho :confused:

I think the bottom row middle is the LFA, the brz doesn’t work with the photo properly.
Looks too small and narrow for being an LFA imho

Personally I’m rather pleased they’ve put it in. Done endless laps in the 787B so it should make for a pleasant change. You’re right about it being quick though, always enjoyed tearing up the Mulsanne Straight with this beast!
 
It's nice that we are getting Group C cars in the May update which I hope this may lead to the inclusion of the 787B in a future update.


I'm looking forward to drive the Sauber Merc. I had a lot of fun using that in GT6 when it became premium.


Too bad the Sauber sounded horrible in GT6, now it will sound amazing!
 
Imagine La Sarthe at night!:bowdown::D

You can do that already..........In PCARS 1 & 2 of course!! :sly:

Seriously, can't wait to pick up the game this Saturday, and for the Muira, and Group C cars alone, i couldn't have picked a better moment....................Just a shame i'll have to wait god knows how long for all the previous updates to download before i can get my hands on it!! :lol:

Looking forward to the livery editor too!

Yeah I don't think they will be a part of Gr. C... In fact I think they will be Gr. X just like the other old LMP cars.

I'm now curious to see what PD did to the sound for the Sauber.

I'm fine with the Group C cars being in the Gr.X class. The important thing is that we'll be able to drive these Group C machines once more with updated sounds. :)
 
Bottom left is obviously a Clio 4. It doesn't seem to feature the Cup's rear wing, nor the R3T's roof scoop, and there's not really any famous tuner car based on that yet. Only thing I can see without it being a total duplicate (facelifted RS) would be the Clio GT (1.2 turbo engine, 120hp) to fill N100 class.

Only problem I have with PDI doing this is custom races. Any vehicle in Group X is confined to single make races, making for a pretty boring field of entrants. Bugs me I can’t race my Ferrari P4 against the jag XJ13.
 
So members being unhappy that GTS has less features and/or content than past titles is not unreasonable, after all Kaz himself said that "nothing has been dropped" and "things have only been added".
Thanks for pointing that out. It does not seem unreasonable to be unhappy based on this fact. My point was more that people are taking it to another level. And I dont see how I can defend that even if promisses have been made in an early stage. When the game was out it was all clear. The updates havent stopped yet.

The updates have indeed not stopped, but the point is the disconnect between the message PD send out and reality are at times almost impossible to reconcile (as an example we will certainly never get dynamic time of day and weather in GTS, despite both being features of two past titles).

I've been around the series since day one, and as such am more than aware of this, however those who have not I can certainly understand the frustration.
