Well there were in GT3 and GT4 so I see no reason why they would not. But as far as licensed F1 cars like the ones that race in real life I have no idea.

Hmmm, probably Formula GT is what you'll get again, even though they have all of the F1 manufacter's licenses(the lastest being Ferrari). and JohnBM01, I totally agree with what you said about the tracks.

About the tracks featured in GT5P. There was a dirt track in GT4P, so why not in this one?
Maybe they're going to put Pikes Peak in the game again?
Why else would they sponsor a rally vehicle that is designed for it?
(see the GT5 info thread)
I'm fairly positive Pikes Peak will be in GT5, but maybe also in GT5P?
All pure speculation btw

One thing that I’ve noticed from the screens of Suzuka is that whilst it’s been updated from GT4, it hasn’t been updated with current developments.
Note the lack of the VIP terrace.
From last year’s 1000km race in August:

JohnBM01, thanks for feeling sorry for us ozzies here down under.The biggest killer is the fact there is no Bathurst to race on followed by not having any old auzzie muscle car to rip around in (monaros,GT's,chargers etc), actually to hell with Batherst, just giv me old aust muscle cars and the Ring!!!!!.I feel for the South American crowd but GT cant be everything to everyone (except thoses lucky Japanese players!!) at this point in time...maybe by GT6
That's what I was thinking when I saw the weather notification. If they were going to include different weather effects, it would make sense that it would be based on whomever was hosting the particular race. It would be interesting to scroll through different races and decide between: raining, sunny, cloudy, snow(
), etc.

I'm looking forward to the Winter now. But still that's just speculations, would be great though.

Has anyone noticed that the screens are looking better and better with each new set they release? OH and that cockpit view is AMAZING. getting to look out the actual rear window when you look back, both the rear view and side view mirrors of the actual car are usable, (has that ever been done before?) the dials are clear enough to actualy be usable! at least the tachometer. but i'd say the spedometers are too. plus all the oddball stuff like the "home" and all this, it looks like were getting almost everything people have been asking for.

Even that wasn't the first to do it either. Didn't ToCA Touring car racing on the PS1 have the functioning mirrors too?
Again, that wasn't the first, games have had functioning mirrors for decades. Granted, going back far enough to old Ind Car games and what not and they've been simple graphics compared to the mid 90's let alone now, but games had functioning mirrors all the same.

I know I'm probably going to get flamed for saying this, but I'm going to wait until the real GT5 comes out before i get my race on because I don't even have a game system right now, (but I will get a PS2 sometime next weekend) I don't have a job at the moment, and my parents aren't willing to shell out $500 right now (plus $30-35 more for the "DEMO"). Besides, the REAL GT5 isn't going to come out for at least a year or so, right?
You totally understood me. I don't want them to cut other important places as well. i just think they should add something. In GT3, i think one of the tracks have the Brazilian flag on top of the stands.
When i first started on a big team in Motorsport, i worked in South American F3. That made me travel to Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay. In Argentina, local motorsport is even bigger than in Brazil, since we have lots of drivers in International Motorsports.
TC2000 is a big event in Argentina, just like Stock Car in Brazil. PD has no obligation of adding anything I think it's important, but if they want to represent Global Motorsport, they can't forget Brazil and Argentina, just like Australia. 👍 I never got the chance to visit Australia, but everytime i watch the Aussie V8's race i can see motorsport is huge there.
When i got GT3 i was happy to see that Aussie V8, and that made me think it was a start of a global inclusion. With GT4, they added mores car from Australia, and that was great. But it seems the wait for GT5 won't be that exciting for new additions, appart from the long awaited Ferrari.
AutoSport already claimed that TC2000 and Stock Car are two of the biggest and most important touring car championship in the world, just like DTM, BTCC and Aussie V8's. That makes make wonder what they are waiting for?
This doesn't mean i won't buy the game (i have all GT's, only missing GTConcept 2002 Tokyo-Seoul), but it certainly makes me sad they simply forgot this part of the world that has huge presence in Motorsport. They don't even need to go far away to discover that. Ricardo Divila, the most important man at NISMO is Brazilian and was the designer of the first Fittipaldi F1 models.
PS: I don't work at Stock Car anymore. I'm not on a team preparing to participate on the Brazilian GT3 Championship.
PS#2: Check out the Stock Car topics in Drifting & Other Motorsports. It seems people don't care with my posts.

Yes, for clarity, we should keep this thread for discussions about GT5: Prologue only, wherever possible anyway.
Given the number of tracks already stated as being in the game, I'd put money on there being no Nurb in GT5
- you're dead right about PD, though - they like to tease us by slipping out little bits of half-information, and keep us guessing until the last minute - and by the time they actually get round to revealing anything, Amar212 has already told us

im curious. PD are yet to disclose or discuss info about rally, they're yet to include a rally course in gt5p (apart from the tarmac rally ofcourse) although i doubt they will. Like grand canyon in gt4p but looking back that course was a headache the rally physics was'nt right.
- 147
Yep, that's the one. Long time since i had some free time to play it.
Anyway, forgot to add some stuff. Till some time, the engine of the beloved Mini (both the One and the Mini Cooper) was made by a Brazilian company called Tritec Motors. A very succesful engine, with many awards received. Anyway, Tritec Motors, it's a joint venture between BMW and DaimlerChrysler, with the help of the Brazilian government, born in 1997. The engine is also used on the Chrysler PT Cruiser and the chinese Chery A15. It seems that it will become a fully Brazilian company since DaimlerChrysler left, and BMW don't seem to have more interest on it.
Another curious info. It seems that for 2009 and on, the Brazilian V8 Stock Cars will stop using the 450HP american V8 to use a very sophisticated 500HP V8 engine, designed and built by Orestes Berta, a very famous engineer from Argentina. He has full support from FORD, and even helped the development of some of it's engines.

Hey fellas, isn't funny how they didn't even show the ferrari 599 with the f430? Or are they just screwing with us?
and whats with that old skyline again, jeez...
I don't think GT5
will have the 599... If you watch the race classes shown the biggest missing piece is the 276 bhp Japanese cars. We've only seen the NSX, the Evo and two Skylines.

I don't think GT5
Well, so far I think we've confirmed only about 20 or so cars out of the 40 for GT5p based on screenshots. It would probably be silly NOT to include the 599, unless PD is trying to give us a taste of everything new by not including any of the GTHD cars for whatever reason. Idk, we'll have to see I guess.
