PAL UPDATE: GARAGE IN 2P RACES + ALL 12 NEW PAL CARS + NEW TECH DATA + old updates

[alexsteffen]

Is that by any chance the pit exit at Spa-Francochamps circuit in Belgium??

I mean the GT pits, not the F1 ones

orange is truly awful for a BMW.....unless it's a Jägermeister E30 M3 👍

Normaly the guys from AC-Schnitzer test their cars in Spa or at the Nürburgring. So it´s not the pit-exit at the ring, then it should be spa. I know the motorsport-Chief from AC-Schnitzer called Manfred Wollgarten. Sometimes you can see him drive through Aachen in this Z4.

He is also the Chief for the Opel/Vauxhall-Tuner "Steinmetz" and sometimes he drives even at the ring with the tuned opel speedster turbo (280 hp).

That´s amazing !

You should check out this image....It's the rear of a Chaparral 2J in action...

Quote: "The source of the downforce. The Rockwell snow mobile motor drove two fans that sucked the 2J to the ground. Downforce was in the region of 1500 lbs."

Interesting : but I'm afraid that downforce is still not well simulated in GT4.

Mulsannes Corner gives some figures to compare (I take the lowest speed - 150 mph) :
- 1970 Chaparral 2J : 1500 lbs (speed unknown)
- 1988 Sauber Mercedes-Benz C9 : 2756 lbs
- 1989 Nissan R89C : 1350-2250 lbs (low and high downforce configurations)
- 1997 Panoz GTR : 1654 lbs
- 1997 McLaren GTR Long-Tail : 1234 lbs
- 1966 Ford GT40 MkII : 100 lbs LIFT

Hi Everyone

Couldn't see this posted in here... so...

So still a bit of a wait...

 

[PROXIMA]

Here with some pictures:

Alfa Romeo GT

Audi Nuvolari Quattro

HPA Motorsports Golf IV R32

Auto Union V16 type C Streamliner

Chaparral 2J Race Car

Peugeot 905 1993 Le Mans Winner


The secret 4:
1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz
Tyrrell P34 (six wheel F1)
Jaguar XJR-9 89' (Silk Cut - white/purple)
Koenigsegg

Well... maybe...

 

[cobragt]

What are the 4 secret cars?

 

[Dave A]

They're secret , no one here seems to know yet.

 

[cjrciadt]

The Peugeot is just weird looking even for a LMP. I going crazy that the GT made it for PAL. 👍 (take that of my GT5 wishlist)

 

[phantasm]

I hope the NTSC R1 version has some new cars in it... but as with previous GTs i'm expecting nothing special for North America... the forgotten land in the world of gran turismo

 

[smellysocks12]

I hope for a Bentley Continental, want to play my Gran Turismo like a pimp.

 

[Dave A]

I would guess that maybe the other 4 cars would include a race spec Marcos (LM600 hopefully) and a Morgan Aero8 GTR.

 

[cobragt]

If the us version gets the panoz lmp, I'm more sold than ever

 

[SaintKamus]

If the us version gets the panoz lmp, I'm more sold than ever

oh please, KY had you at hello.

 

[Dave A]

And he's got you sold for GT5,6,7,8,9,10 and 11.

 

[cobragt]

 

[McLaren]

Uh, don't all versions get the HPA Motorsports Golf?

Anyways, PD better give the US a few cars as well.
I think we need the return of RT/10 Viper in ours.

 

[lmracer]

and a 99' hennessy 650 TT

 

[SaintKamus]

And he's got you sold for GT5,6,7,8,9,10 and 11.

don't be naive, you won't live to see GT6, or do you really think you'll be to be 90? O_o

 

[lmracer]

gt6 in 2078? that would be one helluva delay

 

[nightkid86]

Oh God please let those secret cars be the Morgan +4ss, +8, Aero8, and Aero 8 GTR

Please..........

Strangely enough... I'd be really excited if the old Del Sol LM, the R30 "Foumula" (haha), and the Copperhead made some welcome returns. Although I'm really looking forward to the Pug LMP.

I'm wondering if a Vemac will appear given that the name was found on the disc.

 

[McLaren]

and a 99' hennessy 650 TT

Man, I want the Hennessey 1000TT.

Thats a good point, the copperhead always seemed 'special' in GT1 & would be a nice return along with the best Viper paintscheme (blue with white stripes of course!).

I hope one of the extra cars is a Reliant Robin, would be so funny around the 'Ring

 

[lmracer]

Man, I want the Hennessey 1000TT.

the higher the number, the better

 

[rx7guy]

I would love to c peugeot oxia. 500kw 4wd. Cross between group c racer and group b rally car.

 

[JohnBM01]

If I'm not mistaken, isn't the Peugeot 905 a 4WD race car? I think I read about it once. A year later, another 4WD raced, but didn't finish in class. That car? The Bugatti EB110. I did some visualization, and thought about

I don't have any picks for the 4 unknowns. But if I had to think of one, this would have to be my surprise machine. Now as a note, this isn't classified as a car, but it's an insane machine. That pick?

Campagna Motorsports T-Rex

Look online for it. It's a three-wheeler with the DNA of a Formula One race car and a MotoGP race bike. Hate to imagine what kind of double helix this naughty boy has for DNA strands!

But if the American version doesn't get some of the lovely Euro machinery, it would be pretty painful. You know, it's like a kick below the belt (hell. I know the feeling. It's happened to me before! Yet I still remember...).

Carry on before I lose even more of my mind.

 

[Johnny]

I hope the 4 secret cars are:

- Aston Martin DBR9
- Morgan Aero 8 GTR
- Lotus Sport Exige
- Volkswagen Corrado VR6

 

[trEVO]

Peugeot 905 is RWD
