Nascar type cars.

Yeah, please. The 2005 USGP fiasco is getting super-old. Even watching "WindTunnel with Dave Despain" later when the race was done, people been like "for F1 fiascos, thank goodness for NASCAR." I'm not a true NASCAR fan, much less an F1 guy. That Michelin race issue for that race is super old. I think one person on that show called in about the Daytona night race. I think somoene had a plan to remove restrictor plate racing (Dave Despain hates restrictor plate racing), and that plan someone made was to put a temporary chicane at Daytona. My only thing is, GET THE F:censored: OFF FORMULA ONE'S ASSES! On top of that, don't give me that "the French screwed us" crap either.

Look at "Pro Race Driver" and "TOCA Race Driver 2." PRD had the Chevrolet Monte Carlo stock cars, but no real teams. TOCA RD 2 had fictional stock cars. This game also featured a trailer of ASCAR (not NASCAR, the British variant ASCAR) at Rockingham (rock-en-hem here. This is England we're talking about). Part of the issue concerning such stock cars in the next GT is, will there be people who will actually want to race these machines around race tracks? I'm sure Japan doesn't really know or love NASCAR-type racing. This is even though NASCAR raced in Japan on a promotional deal at Motegi's oval and Suzuka. This is even though NASCAR has seen its first Japanese racer in JGTC/Super GT racer Hideo Fukuyama. To me, the reason why NASCAR-type stock cars aren't featured too much is the same reason why Australian V8 Supercars aren't featured too much. Either they aren't known too well around the world, or there aren't enough people who actually praise the motorsport. And I'm talking about as a whole. Not just a certain country, not just some race fans, but the world.

If PD were to pursue such race cars in their games, I'm okay with fictional paintschemes. You can't have real F1 cars, so fictional paint jobs with the Gran Turismo logo and the Polyphony Digital logo are perfectly fine with me. I'm not bothered that I can't race against NASCAR stars. Then too, I don't really care because I'm not this kind of racing. But if there were stock cars to look for in bigtime Gran Turismo racing, Late Model stock cars are best. Stock Car Road Racing Series. Would be the best reason to road race stock cars because that's what I want to do with these machines.

Here's something for F1 lovers.
Personally I enjoy F1, watching and playing with them on games, but when you dis nascar, we'll dis you.
Yes nascar can get boring, it's funner to race an 800 horsepower Ford, Chevy, Dodge, or even toyota when they come. If PD went with nascar it would definetly be imaginary paintschemes. They would also be adjustable. It's just as easy to mess with a Nascar suspension as a rally car. Nascar also has no computer nannies like F1 or WRC. Just a motor a roll-cage, and a driver, try racing Infenion(Sears point) without any of those with a 3400lbs. car with no help from a computer.
And think of this, we use Famlly sedan body styles, not some sporty coupe, or open wheeled car.

All in All, everyone has their opinion, lets draw a line at that, both are a tough sport to drive, and they are popullar. Both attract quite similar crowds. And both cars cost alot to run.

I wonder if (if they made it) PD would charge the player $1,000,000 to $2,500,000...How much does it take to make a Nascar?

I have read that it takes well over 6 million dollars to keep them running for 1 year. So I' say it should be around 3 mill for one if GT uses them.

I think you could get a Nascar type of car in GT2, if memory serves me right...it was the Ford Sho.

Anywho, Nascar type of cars in GT5...I don't know..how are they going to be raced..I don't know if I'll be having fun on the road course with them.

HO HO HO!!!! I must tell you, stock cars + road course = hells of a lot of fun!!! they are big heavy and high powered, they don't seem like great road racers from the outset (and they aren't) but once you get in and start ringing its neck, you got yourself quite a ride. when they get goin' these things can really get going. if gt5 has 20 or so cars on a track i wouldn't mind to see a few more ovals and maybe watkins glen could be added so they can have some sort of a NASCAR-esc series goin' on. i think it would be intense if the pros from polyphony could create a game with stock cars. i wouldn't mind goin online with the dfp and seeing how i stack up on an oval with 20 or so friends.

anywho, thats just me dreamin'
