But i cant seem to find any of the ones with both on track at the same time..
IIRC they were of the race mod R1 and some car on the tokyo street track..

in my search i also found this tidbit from an interview with KY at 1UP
1UP: I know some of the same art assets were used in Tourist Trophy from Gran Turismo. From here do you see it becoming its own franchise, or is this more an experiment to see how it goes and then you'll decide at that point?
KY: Back at the studio, Polyphony, we do have test machines where we can display both cars and bikes on the same tracks, just for experiment purposes. Perhaps maybe in the future we might have a title where we have both. This time around, the reason why they've been separated is only a technical reason, with these performance limitations with the PlayStation 2.

Gran Turismo should be just THAT. GT racing.
No rally. Hell no bikes! Save it for another game!

Gran Turismo has always been The Driving Simulator not the Riding Simulator. Stuff having bikes on it. Tourist Trophy 2 is a far better prospect.
Proper rally stages would be good but if they're going to keep the circuits then the physics would need improvement.

I disagree.....I is GT but it is a car game full of everything car wise.
They put a 1886 Mercedes in GT4!
Rallying is just as important as circuit racing so most def needs to stay.
For Bikes......Im more excited about Tourist Trophy 2 than GT5.

Adding bikes would require a whole different style of career mode, two separate license centers, and something to prevent them from racing at the same time. Honestly it would just be better to make TT2. A lot of people (including me) who aren't as fond a bikes will be rather annoyed if they are forced to use them to complete the game.

I'm with you, I never used bikes in Midnight Club nor would I want to if they were in GT5.

I did....but midnight club was an arcade game
GT is a simulator.....there's a difference.

Obviously the level is different, but I'm just saying that I hate racing with bikes, regardless of the game.

However, Rally cars are cars so would fit more securly then Bikes would.
Exactly how? because TT shared almost everything except for its physics and vehicles with GT?
Actually in a indirect way, they do. GT is often associated with Autobile racing or vehicles wth four wheels and all for of those disciplines have exactly that in common. Also, the fact that they are vehicles which are driven(hence its a "driving Simulator") does make them fit GT. Bikes are what you ride and Cars are what you drive and having bikes on "The Real Driving Simulator" wouldn't make since. Even if they do share the same tarmac tracks, they require very different ways of racing.
Now again, This is the "Rallying in GT5" thread. If you would like to continue this debate, then do so in the "Motorcycles In GT5?" Thread.

Do you not like bikes in general?
I dont see what you mean....im assuming you dont own tourist trophy.

Nope I don't own TT, not into racing bikes, just boring IMO. I prefer racing with cars instead.
The only time I use bikes is in Grand Theft Auto.

hmm....difference of opinion there......i havn't missed a motogp or world sbk race in 5 years.
TT is worth a shot though just to support PD and to see what you think..... i got alot of guys who arn't into racing games playin TT.
To give you a good reason watch this.
800cc = 200HP! / 250hp from the 990cc bikes from 2006!
I personally do want to see rally racing in GT5. It's car racing and it's fun. But in truth, it's pretty much required that they have it in a point-to-point time trial format, because how on earth are you suppose to pass if you have damage?
And that, damage, is exactly what would make rally in GT5 a real challenge. You can see how slowly the cars in the video a couple pages back were going. In GT4 rallying you would go through a similar turn at 20-30 mph and probably bang into a wall somewhere along it, then keep on going. The realism of damage would make it more fun and rewarding, as long as they didn't make the times to beat too hard.
Maybe they should include rally in its own area where it doesn't contribute to 100% completion. Imagine doing slides like that on a controller!
But they should definitely make it more than a seemingly last-minute addition, with realistic physics like the rest of the game will have.

So that means that I'm stuck with the awfull rally events and missions.
It's just your opinion. I loved fast cars on Nordschleife and Le Mans very much, but for me, section "Special Conditions" was the first I've done in GT4 and it was lot of fun.
So look at it from another position, they can polish the rally part of the game to perfect experience for us.
