What Motorsport Series do you want or to be improved


  • Total voters

I voted (one of my votes) for F1, although there's no point since we can't have modern F1. The most I could hope for is F1 of past generations, although that would be great, or maybe a "Formula GT" sort of knockoff like they did with one of the past games (forget which one). It's the world's top motorsport by a huge margin and the most challenging motorsport I ever virtually raced, so it's more deserving than any other of development in Gran Turismo, but I just don't see much happening here.
 
I voted for FIA GT, primarily for the GT3 category (though GT2 and old GT1 cars are also awesome). Here's a list of all of the known GT3 cars since the category was introduced in roughly 2006.

Ascari KZ1R GT3
Dodge Viper Competition Coupe
Corvette Z06.R
Ferrari F430 GT3
Ferrari F430 Scuderia GT3
Ferrari F458 GT3
Aston Martin Vantage GT3
Aston Martin DBSR9
Alpina B6 GT3
Audi R8 LMS
Audi R8 LMS Plus
BMW E85 Z4 GT3
BMW E89 Z4 GT3
Ford GT Matech GT3
Lamborghini Gallardo GT3
Lamborghini Gallardo LP600 GT3
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3
Porsche 911 GT3 R
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup S
McLaren MP4-12C GT3
Nissan GT-R Nismo
Chevrolet Camaro GT3
Ford Mustang FR500GT
Mosler MT900 GT3**
Morgan Aero 8 GT
Jaguar XKR GT3
Ginetta G55 GT3
TVR Sagaris GT3**

** - These two might not be GT3 cars, but their inclusion would be no-less welcomed and I know their performance would be similar to GT3-level cars.

Also, if I'm missing anything, let me know.

I did also vote for DTM, V8 Supercars, D1 Drifting, IRL/Indy 500, Improved NASCAR and Improved WRC as well though... I did this awhile I ago I should point out, any I voted before I saw the 4-vote limit. Or I ignored it, I dunno.

I'm also a huge fan of Group A, Super Touring and S2000 touring cars from the WTCC/BTCC/JTCC/DTM/STCC etc. As well as Brazilian Stock Cars and the TTA Pro Series Racing.

Oh and Grand-Am.

Kaz talked about obtaining the F1 licenses, but I would rather see F1 in GT6 to have a better competition. I'm sure that GT6 will have other motorsports and hopefully we'll see more animated pit crews, similar to Nascar in GT5.
 
Some sort of touring cars, there's quite a few different cars in btcc now!

Audi A4
BMW 3 series
Ford Focus (Previous and current model)
Honda Civic
MG6
Proton Persona
Toyota Avensis

or any good cars as long as there not Japanese
 
I'd sell my left testicle, both kidneys and my soul for an improved WRC series with real point to point rally stages, improved weather conditions different road surfaces (gravel, ice, wet mud, etc.), improved damage. The last great rally game was Richard burns rally (RIP Mr. Burns!), WRC as it is right now in GT5 is nothing more than a joke. Well, it has been a joke in GT2, 3 and 4 as well.

Please PD, give rally finally the respect it deserves.

I want to be able to do this:


And this:

 
I'd like to see more NASCAR tracks added. Having it in GT5 seems kinda pointless when there's only 2/23 NASCAR tracks in the game, and those are probably the worst 2 PD could've put in.

If they nailed the physics, Atlanta Motor Speedway would be their best option. Track chews through tires like a cheese grater, not to mention it's rather bumpy. Really quick at the start of a run, hanging on for dear life, sliding off every corner 20 laps in. Looks utterly awesome at nighttime, as well. Other than this I'd also like to see (with dynamic time and weather):

Texas Motor Speedway (also very bumpy and harsh on tires)
Bristol Motor Speedway
Martinsville Speedway
Darlington Raceway

Counting Daytona and Indy, excluding Sonoma and Watkins Glen, that's still only 7/23 tracks. That's not asking for too much, is it?
 
I want Trophy trucks and Dakar really bad. the Rally in gt5 sucks, GT3/4 had it the best but still was laking i think.

Need a Dakar Rally race were u can actually total the car in the race and be kicked out while still having to win. (only dakar not lemans or ect) I say damage only on Dakar because it would be anoying to have damage u cant turn off in normal races, although it would be realistic
 
How can this poll include MotoGP but omit the WEC? The WEC is the pinnacle of sportscars and endurance racing.

As you can tell I really want the WEC.

I too would like more Dakar vehicles (we've only got the 2 Standard Pajero's so far and that Toyota concept) including the trucks but for the complete Dakar (or Rally Raid) experience (and therefor for these vehicles to be useful and appreciated within their own context) there needs to be some, dare I say it, 'free roam' map consisting of rough terrain/desert you have to navigate through or at least point to point tracks with some freedom to manouvre, and not just the relatively narrow rally stages we got now (even though you can create very wide rally tracks using the course creator already but that isn't the same thing).

Yeah, i think Pd just for amusement needs to add free roam for just general areas... like a snow free roam, a desert, city, country side.

like how the split the areas for course creater.
 
If I'm not mistaken, Kaz himself stated, after GT5 came out, that he had modeled/planned to implement the 2010 FIA GT and DTM sires, but they ran out of time. So I fully expect them to be in GT6.

In regards to improving NASCAR, I doubt they will.

I do think though, like Prologue's inclusion of Daytona hinted at NASCAR, that Indianapolis in GT5 hints at the IndyCar Sires in GT6.
 
I would like drag racing, but with a few top fuel dragsters and funny cars, with tyre warming getting the start perfect and chutes deploying at the end... plus the track with proper timing board etc could be used for testing.

And if a Dakar race does come in, would anyone object to having the lorries? I personally would love them
 
I'd love or the karting to be mildly improved

Maybe some different pod options in gt auto, different wheels, a little but of tuning, and instead of changing the trans, the ability of putting different sprockets on instead

I'd also like to see some v8 supercars, past and present, to go with my panorama!
 
Just my two cents. 👍

I would like to see the following 2012 seasons of endurance racing series return to Gran Turismo 6...

24 Hours of Le Mans
24 Hours of Nürburgring
American Le Mans Series
Autobacs Super GT Series
Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters
Indianapolis 500


...along with some newcomers...

Blancpain Endurance Series
British Touring Car Championship
Dubai 24 Hour Race
European Le Mans Series
FIA GT1 World Championship
FIA GT3 European Championship
FIA World Endurance Championship
Formula 1
Karting World Championship
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
World Rally Championship

...the word "endurance" completely thrown out and rewritten, now requires a true driver's mind and skill.

Whenever I play endurance races in GT5, I just don't get that sense of realism. I keep wondering to myself, "Where are the other 50+ racers on the grid? Why are there so little spectators? Aren't events like this supposed to have big hype?"and my answer to this is always; I think that the idea of endurance events that PD has created is fine; I just want to see more realism.

I would prefer if they actually made an endurance series feel like an actual series; for instance, the goal of endurance races is changed to achieving pole position in your racing class (best in GT300, GT500 etc) instead of just the ol' "get in 1st place for 1 lap and stay there for another 171" mindset that we're all forced to adapt and play with.

Having an endurance series with individual rounds would be pretty nifty, not only adding up for the challenge, it would completely throw away the useless "if you ain't 1st, you're last" concept that makes up all the events in GT. Using a point system is a much better option; teams can then tally their marks while tactfully grinding for points, heightening the skill level.

It would be pretty cool if all of the cars present for the endurance series round(s) were on the grid.

During the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in real life, all drivers in each class start at different intervals. So if you were, lets say, in the highest class available to the event, then you would be notified of other classes starting.

Tracks utilizing the weather / time models for all endurance races is a MUST. You can't do a 12 hour-long race and it's still sunny, unless you live on another planet. This is GT5, not ET5: C-Spec Racing, where you can control time and space :).

I'm just the guy who just likes singing in the rain; I stop in the pits, switch to wet racing slicks, zoom off with my pit limiter active, set it off and watch dew drops crash through the windshield. It just doesn't feel right not see any weather or time change in certain endurance series in GT5. I just don't like it one bit. If I'm going to have to do a 9 hour-long endurance event at Tsukuba, or any event in that category, I better have the elements of nature beat and club away at my RM'd Corvette Z06, 'cause endurance's are supposed to be challenging, not easy.

At the date and time that the specific endurance race happened IRL, the weather and time model should simulate what happened on that day. Would be a pretty neat feature.

For karting, if there are track configurations made for karting, then they would have to be made just for such an occasion.

The final aspect of competition is, and always will be, the opposition appearing alongside the grid. The A.I. has to be aware of what they're doing, how there doing it, and why. They always must be on a team, given directions by the director. They need to know their strategies, their opposition, the track; everything. This is vital for surviving endurance races. PP is not a factor for this. I believe GT5's works of A.I. is completely out of whack; just look at the Nürburgring 4 Hours event; you see cars that ranging from 560-610 PP, and they're just scattered all over in Green Hell; they think like trains (If I would see a drag race between The Little Engine That Could, Thomas the Tank Engine and B-Spec Bob, all Hell would break loose), they just keep following the tracks and they have no brakes.

Practice and qualification rounds should be included, but the driver/player should had the free option to skip this. If they want to know the track more, let them practice. If they want to get a higher grid position at the start, let them qualify. If they choose not to, that's cool too.

Pit sessions should be more in-depth; I mean like, drivers and the pit crew can do so much more; part checks, drivers switching back and forth, making changes to your settings (aerodynamics, LSD etc). Racing drivers, I would assume, would not just come and pit just for tires only.

💡 10/11/2012: So instead of wasting money on grippier tires or waiting until the tires warm up, usually both, why not just bring in the addition of tire warmers? When I use a specific hardness of tires, I don't want to rely on hard braking and pulling out of corners full throttle just to get them to heat up.

Full rules and regulations that are sanctioned in the event used in real life should be used in future Endurance Series. I'm feeling a weird vibe on this, debatable.

Safety cars should be used. No series is complete without one. What if your car had an accident that was red-flag worthy? It wouldn't be fair to the victim if they did not receive guidance, counting the others on the track. If there was a red flag, you need a safety car. Or all Hell would break loose. No more restarting over that one mistake anymore.

Opponents can be punished with flags.

Real teams and team members including fully modeled drivers should be used. But you still need you buy your own car; for the team you wish to use for the series, you can just buy the car for the team it represents for and the team is auto-selected for that class.

If the car that you are driving has been totaled, you can switch to your next available driver and car on your team.

More constrictive requirements; for the series you're playing in, the rules and regulations should allow only the cars that are allowed to participate in that specific series. No more easy grinding with that X2010 Prototype that's been catching some dust in your Premium Cars garage on Grand Valley 300KM.

PD needs to see this and everybody else's posts and give them a chance. I want them to at least consider this, so I'll be mailing this in a big, brown box all the way to their headquarters and stamp on it in big, bold letters: From your friends :@: :gtplanet:.

Give me your most honest feedback and opinions.

Again, this is just my two cents.

...and now for something completely different:

The World Sportscar Championship, in Premium, would be awesome.

And better punishment for dirty driving, hopefully linked to damage modelling.

That's what I'm hoping for :)
 
Sounds like a lot of excellent bunch of ideas


Especially the one about the big brown bag!!!

Thanks for your response; sorry 'bout the great wall of text, though; I'm just a deep and considerate thinker, while staying creative :D
 
other: being
-go kart+(shifter karts)
-short track dirt racing (modifids, pure stock etc...)
-short track racing (mini stock, thunder stock, late stock etc...)
- fv series ex:fv1200<-- that one espesially fv2800 etc...
 
I think I'd rather have them focus on what is in the game now. Make that stuff golden before adding anything else.

With this, here is a list of the series's in the poll that are already in GT5:

FIA GT
DTM
D1 Drifting
F1
Dakar
V8 Supercars
Historical Racing
NASCAR
WRC


That is almost the ENTIRE poll.
