One make races have been extremely limited

[poe64]

I thought they where there but you can't choose what car or how many laps you want to race.
Will this change as we progress through the game?

Why would you be able to choose how many laps to race in a one make race in career? Maybe we are talking about different things. One make races are in the game (the first ones are in National B) but you don't get to choose the amount of laps or which car is specific to the event?

In GT5 you could do one-make races at whatever track you want, with whatever car you want for as many laps as you want. This was actually some of the "best" single player racing in GT5.

Oh yeah I get you now. I haven't seen anything like this yet though.

Bring back dealership races!

Oh huh. I just assumed that's what one-make racing was going to be. Like the 1-makes in GT5 I suppose in practice mode.
(Haven't gotten that far yet to checking that out.)

Is there any way in single player (other than in Arcade mode), to drive your own garage car in a... well, like a custom race of some sort?
I haven't even looked at the Arcade options, to be honest.

Yeah, that and the races... whatever they were called where on a custom track, you could choose to do a time trial or you could choose a practice race on the custom track you chose. And they'd put you on the custom track with a bunch of cars (15 I guess). I think the mix of cars varied either randomly or dependent upon what car you chose, but I'm not sure.
The bunch of cars were a very odd mix, but I found a lot of cars that were compatible with a lot of them, and spent most of what little single-player time I spent, doing that actually.
Mostly to test custom tracks.
But I rather wished there was that option with the regular tracks, rather than just 1-make, as well.

It was the closest it came to GT4's "family cups" - which man, I adored those family cups in GT4!!!

Hope some of these things are what Kaz mentioned in the interview that are planned, but can't be mentioned yet!

I really liked the way it was set up in GT4. It made me do one-make races that I would have never done otherwise (like Daihatsu trucks). Would love for there to be a bunch of these that unlocked a trophy or something.

watermelonpunch,

Like I was mentioned in this post

Feature that similar to an open track day, multiple random AI cars scatter around the racetrack you choose, unlimited laps. Do you remember the name it was called in GT series? or its the "family cup" you mentioned.

Really shame that GT6 missed out on those feature. With multiple track have time and weather changes
, practice and custom race would be real joy!


In GT6, besides arcade mode, no AI can join any practice session. ( yet, I hope...)

What you're talking about is ringing a bell... But I don't remember exactly. I think what you're talking about wasn't a race. ?
The family cups in GT4 it was where you could get in a car - whatever car from your garage... And then you could go to whatever track you liked, and do a family cup race. You could set the amount of laps, and adjust the difficulty of the competition, and they'd put a bunch of AIs in cars in the race, at a certain level. I don't know if it depended on the car you chose. But obviously the higher difficulty level would put the AIs in better cars. A mix of different models.
IIRC, it also paid out credits. And maybe counted toward your aspec level or something.
I remember that the family cups were a great way to get a lot of use out of all the low power cars.
